fix(maestro): full-screen spawn dialog on mobile

The dialog capped at 92vh and scrolled its whole body, so the Spawn button
sat below the fold on a phone. Below 600px it now fills the viewport, the
pickers drop their own scroll caps, and the actions row sticks to the bottom
edge.

-# maestro-web
-
-Standalone HTTP server that hosts the Maestro browser UI and reverse-proxies
-to a co-located `maestrod`.
-
-```

-                         │

-
-## Trust model
-
-`maestro-web` does not authenticate anyone. Whoever can reach the bind address
-can use it. Pick the bind accordingly:
-
-| Bind                  | Reach                              | Use when                    |
-| --------------------- | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
-| `127.0.0.1:8080`      | Local users on this host           | Default. Same as tmux.      |
-| `<wg-ip>:8080`        | Devices on your WireGuard mesh     | Phone/tablet over VPN.      |
-| `<lan-ip>:8080`       | Devices on your trusted LAN        | Home / lab networks.        |
-| Public IP             | Don't                              | — add real auth first.      |
-
-## Config
-
-The binary reads `~/.config/maestro/config.toml`. The `[web]` section:
-
-```toml
-[web]
-bind_addr        = "127.0.0.1:8080"      # default
-daemon_url       = "http://127.0.0.1:7070"  # default
-```
-
-Env-var overrides (all optional):
-
-- `MAESTRO_WEB_BIND_ADDR`
-- `MAESTRO_WEB_DAEMON_URL`
-- `MAESTRO_WEB_DEV_PROXY_TARGET`
-- `MAESTRO_CONFIG` — override the unified config-file path.
-
-## Build
-
-The SPA bundle lives in `../../web` and is embedded into the binary at compile
-time via `include_dir!`. Build the frontend first:
-
-```sh
-pnpm -C web install
-pnpm -C web build
-cargo build -p maestro-web --release
-```
-
-Or, from the repo root:
-
-```sh
-just web
-```
-
-A fresh checkout compiles even without `pnpm build` (an empty `web/dist`
-exists in-tree); the binary just serves a placeholder until the bundle is
-built.
-
-## Run
-
-```sh
-target/release/maestro-web
-```
-
-Then point a browser at `http://127.0.0.1:8080/`.
-
-## Development workflow for the frontend
-
-Use Vite directly so you get HMR. From `web/`:
-
-```sh
-pnpm dev
-```
-
-Vite serves on `:5173` and proxies `/api/*` straight to `maestrod` at
-`127.0.0.1:7070` (override with `MAESTRO_DAEMON_URL=...`). You don't need to
-rebuild the Rust binary while iterating on the frontend.
