fix: text-gen chapter-names truncation and bad title format

- Default max_tokens to 4096 for chapter-names so large chapter lists
  are not cut off mid-JSON by the model's token limit
- Rewrite system prompt to clarify placeholder semantics ({n} = number,
  {scene} = scene hint) and explicitly forbid echoing the number inside
  the title field — prevents "Chapter 1 - 1: ..." style duplications
- UI: surface raw_response in the error area when chapters:[] is returned
  so the admin can see what the model actually produced
