Dynamic "New" Button Labels Based on Singular Object Names

Update the generic "New Object" button to dynamically reflect the singular name of the current Object Type (e.g., "New Person," "New Project," "New Task").

The Problem: Currently, when viewing a collection, the button is labeled "New Object." It’s not immediately clear if you are creating a new instance or defining a new Object Type. This creates unnecessary cognitive load and micro-friction during fast-paced workflows.

The Solution: Capacities already requires users to define both the Plural and Singular names for every Object Type. The UI should leverage this data to make the action clearer.

Current: View "People" → Button says "New Object"

Proposed: View "People" → Button says "New Person"

Benefit: This aligns the UI with the user's custom schema, reduces confusion, and makes the interface feel more polished and context-aware.
