fix: parse date and guest from title for manually-created issues

Adds title-based fallbacks for issues not created via the template:
- parse_date_from_title() extracts dates in MM-DD-YYYY or 'Month D, YYYY'
  formats from the issue title
- build_row() falls back to title segments for the guest name when the
  body ### Name field is absent
