Summary

Currently, the memory file list displays raw filenames (e.g. MEMORY.md, debugging.md). These aren't always descriptive or user-friendly, especially as the number of memory files grows.

Proposed Solution

Add support for friendly/display names alongside the raw filenames in the memory file list — either via:

  • A metadata mapping (e.g. a config file that maps filenames to display names), or
  • Deriving a display name from the file's first heading (# Heading), or
  • Allowing the user to set a custom label per file

Expected Behaviour

The file list should show a human-readable name rather than (or in addition to) the raw filename, making it easier to navigate memory files at a glance.
