Windows: main window title is empty, so the taskbar shows no app name #6295

Description

@exdraz

Describe the bug
The Buzz main window has no title set. Windows draws taskbar labels from the window caption, so the Buzz taskbar entry renders as an icon with no name next to it.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch Buzz on Windows 11
  2. Look at the taskbar entry for Buzz
  3. The icon appears with no accompanying app name, unlike every other running application

Expected behavior
The taskbar entry should read "Buzz" next to the icon.

Version and platform

  • Buzz version: 0.5.17
  • OS: Windows 11 Pro 25H2, build 26200.9168

Logs / additional context
buzz-desktop's MainWindowTitle is an empty string (length 0). Comparison of MainWindowTitle across running apps on the same machine:

Process MainWindowTitle
ChatGPT ChatGPT
codexbar CodexBar Desktop
claude Claude
WhatsApp.Root WhatsApp
buzz-desktop <empty>

Nothing is suppressing the label — the string simply isn't set. Likely the Tauri window title field is unset in the app configuration.
