Summary

Create temporary collections of spools for specific projects.

Upstream Issue

https://github.com/Donkie/Spoolman/issues/430 (feature 1)

Use Case

When working on a multi-color project:

Group the spools needed for that project
Quick access without searching full inventory
Archive or delete group when done
Spools remain in main inventory

Proposed Features

1. Project Entity

Name, description, created date
List of associated spools (many-to-many)
Status: active, completed, archived

2. UI

Create project button
Add/remove spools to project
Project list view
Filter spools by project

Show active projects
Quick access to project spools
Progress indicator (if tracking usage)

Database

class Project(Base):
    id: int
    name: str
    description: Optional[str]
    status: str  # active, completed, archived
    created_at: datetime
    spools: relationship  # many-to-many

#9 Enhanced Locations (alternative: use location as project)
#40 Storage vs Active Status
