Team names created via the API could contain control characters (for
example a trailing newline). Because the team-delete confirmation dialog
requires you to retype the team name and matches it against the stored
value, a hidden control character meant the typed name never matched —
leaving the team impossible to delete from the UI. This sanitizes team
names on save so they stay clean and deletable.
#### How to reproduce
1. Create a team via `POST /api/v1/accounts/{account_id}/teams` with
`{"name": "test\n"}`.
2. The team is created with the trailing newline stored in `name`.
3. In **Settings → Teams**, click delete and type the team name to
confirm — the match fails, so the team cannot be deleted.
#### What changed
- `app/models/team.rb`: the existing `before_validation` now strips
control characters and surrounding whitespace before downcasing the
name. Names that reduce to blank (e.g. only newlines/tabs) are rejected
loudly by the existing `presence` validation.
- Fixing at the model layer covers the API and every other create/update
path, rather than relying on the frontend confirm-dialog `.trim()`
(which only handles leading/trailing whitespace, not internal control
characters).
Note: this prevents new malformed names. Any team already saved with a
control character can be made deletable again simply by renaming it (an
update re-runs the same sanitization).
| Input | Stored as | Result |
|---|---|---|
| `"test\n"` | `"test"` | valid, deletable |
| `"te\nst"` (internal) | `"test"` | valid |
| `"\t\n "` (only control/ws) | — | rejected: "Name must not be blank" |
| `"Customer Support"` | `"customer support"` | unchanged behavior |
