Uploading a video with agent login or a CLI API key fails unless --name is supplied, even though the flag is optional. The CLI sends title: null, which the API rejects before creating an upload.

Omit the title when no name was requested so the server can use its existing filename fallback. Keep explicit names intact.

Closes #2840

Before and after

Same synthetic MP4 and production upload routine/client, with schema-validated loopback HTTP fixtures:

Command	Main	This PR
cap upload demo.mp4	title: null; schema rejects; no file transfer	Title omitted; file transfer and completion succeed; title defaults to demo
cap upload demo.mp4 --name Demo	Completes with title Demo	Identical requests and result
cap upload demo.mp4 --name ""	Completes with filename-derived title	Identical requests and result

Successful cases transfer all 697,470 bytes with matching SHA-256 checksums.

Validation

• The focused optional-title regression test fails against the original serialization and passes with this change. It covers absent, explicit, and empty names.
• Production-source upload harness builds and Clippy passes with the repository's denied lints. Formatting and git diff --check pass.
• Full cargo check -p cap --offline --locked is blocked in the unchanged FFmpeg dependency by the missing libavcodec/avfft.h header. Full CLI tests and other platforms were not run locally.

The HTTP proof runs the production upload routine and AgentClient, with controlled authentication, storage, database, and processing responses. Its API schema expression uses cached Effect 3.22.1; the repository locks 3.21.4. FFmpeg probing and live cloud services are outside this harness.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

Summary

Fixes agent-authenticated CLI uploads without --name by omitting title instead of sending null.

• Agent uploads use the filename when you skip --name.
