Subject: [PATCH] projects: warn via stderr, not log.Printf, when pane labeling
 fails
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Follow-up to #33. The pane-label failure warning used log.Printf, which stamps a
timestamp prefix and pulled in the log package solely for this one line — unlike
the rest of the plugin, which emits messages via fmt to stdout/stderr with a
"herdr-plus:" prefix (captured in the plugin log). Match that convention and drop
the now-unused log import. Behavior is unchanged: labeling stays best-effort and a
failure never aborts building the workspace.
