[Bug]: Snippet title cannot contain : #742
Description
Describe the bug
Snippets cannot include a : in their title. Doing so can cause inconsistent behavior because HTTP requests fail silently in the background without being reflected in the UI. This may also result in a snippet appearing to be saved when it actually isn’t, or disappearing entirely due to the invalid title.

This is not a bug.
In markdown storage, the snippet title is used as the file name, so reserved filesystem characters like
:are not allowed.What we should improve here is the UX: massCode needs to show a clear validation message / notification when reserved characters are used.
