[bug]: [bug]: Workspace name field accepts symbol-only input (e.g. "-_________-") despite active character validation

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current behavior

The Workspace name field (Workspace Settings → General) validates character composition in real time — entering a disallowed character (e.g. a comma) is immediately rejected with the message "Workspace name can only contain letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and underscores." This confirms the field has active validation logic, not just a passive character filter on submit.

However, this validation only checks character type, not character content. A workspace name consisting entirely of hyphens, underscores, and/or spaces — with zero letters or numbers — passes validation and is saved successfully. This produces a non-descriptive workspace name (e.g. -_________-) that persists across the UI: settings header, sidebar, and workspace switcher.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to Workspace Settings → General
2. In the Workspace name field, enter a string with no alphanumeric characters, e.g. -_________-
3. Click Update workspace
