feat(maestro): scaffold Android project (Kotlin, Compose, Material 3)

Greenfield Gradle project under android/ — single-activity, Compose-only UI, Kotlin DSL + version catalog throughout. MainActivity shows a placeholder screen; no daemon connection yet (#262). minSdk 26, targetSdk 34. OkHttp and kotlinx-serialization-json wired in for the upcoming daemon client. Debug signing config uses a committed debug.keystore so the APK installs without extra setup.

+
+**No authentication layer, no registry, no peer-to-peer.** Whoever can reach the
+daemon's bind address can drive every session on the host — same trust model as
+tmux itself. The operator picks the perimeter: `127.0.0.1` for local-only, a
+WireGuard/LAN address to share with their own devices, never a public IP.
+
+Every config field has a default, so `~/.config/maestro/config.toml` is
+optional.

 ## Where the work is

-Linear project **Maestro** under team **Naps62**. Issues `NAP-211..218` cover the prototype; each has `blockedBy` set so the dependency chain is explicit. **`NAP-211` is the only unblocked starting point.**
+Gitea issues on [`naps62/maestro`](https://git.naps.pt/naps62/maestro), grouped
+into milestones.

-`.claude/linear.json` wires `/yolo` and `/work` to this project — they pick from "available now" (status backlog/pending, not blocked).
+`.claude/linear.json` (legacy filename, `tracker: gitea`) wires `/yolo` and
+`/work` to that tracker — they pick from open, unassigned issues whose
+dependencies are all closed. `/blitz <milestone>` sweeps a whole milestone.

-## Repo layout (target)
+Labels carry one value per axis: `area/*`, `type/*`, `difficulty/*`.
+`difficulty` drives model selection downstream, so it tracks the shape of the
+work, not its size.

-Cargo workspace, populated incrementally starting with NAP-211:
+## Repo layout
+
+Cargo workspace. NAP-245 unified the per-binary crates behind a single
+`crates/maestro/` umbrella that ships the `maestro` binary with feature gates
+(`cli` / `daemon` / `tui` / `web`, default = all four).

 See `docs/INSTALL.md` for end-user install instructions.

+`docs/WORKTREES.md` is the contract for session worktrees — placement,
+collisions, what blocks a kill, and what `--force` leaves behind. Read it
+before changing anything that creates or removes one.
+
+`docs/SIDEBAR.md` is the contract for session cards in the web and TUI
+sidebars — line layout, activity colours, duration format, state precedence.
+Read it before changing sidebar rendering.
+
+`docs/PREVIEW.md` is the contract for what the content pane shows while the
+operator moves the sidebar highlight — what a preview may touch, what ends it,
+what commits it. Read it before changing sidebar-driven navigation.
+
+`docs/RESTART.md` is the contract for what clients do when the daemon restarts
+or is upgraded under them — the build stamp on `/api/info`, the status
+indicator's states, the blocking overlay, grace and poll timings. Read it
+before changing reconnect behaviour on either client.
+
+`docs/COMMAND-BAR.md` is the contract for the `ctrl-k` command bar in both
+clients — how it opens, the sigils, the key model, the match-and-rank algorithm
+the two matchers must agree on, and the fixture table they are tested against.
+Read it before changing either bar or either matcher.
+
+`docs/STRUCTURED-VIEW.md` is the contract for a structured session (an agent
+run as a daemon child over ACP instead of in a tmux pane) — the eight
+transcript row kinds, the two projections and their cursor/replay semantics,
+the handshake and declined capabilities, and the approval nonce rules. Read
+it before changing anything that renders a structured session.
+
+`nix run .#dev` (or `just dev`) brings up the whole local stack under
+process-compose: a debug daemon on 127.0.0.1:7071, then Vite on :5173 once the
+daemon answers `/api/info`. The SPA proxies `/api/*` back to the daemon, so only
+the UI is exposed on the network. The dev port is deliberately not the daemon's
+own default 7070 (`devDaemonPort` in `flake.nix`), so the stack never fights a
+real daemon on the same host.
+
 ## Conventions

 - **TDD by default.** Failing test first, then minimal impl. Commit test + impl together.
 - **Frequent commits.** One logical unit per commit; don't pile work up.
 - **Conventional commits with `maestro` scope.** Example: `feat(maestro): add Hello message round-trip test`.
- **`cargo fmt` + `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`** before every commit. (Add to CI as part of NAP-211.)
+- **`cargo fmt` + `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`** before every commit.
 - **Integration tests use real `tmux` and `git`.** Don't mock them. Isolate via temp `$HOME` and `TMUX_TMPDIR`.
-
-## Network assumption
-
-Maestro is network-agnostic. The operator chooses bind addresses; the perimeter is whatever VPN (Wireguard, etc.) or private LAN they've set up. Maestro does not terminate TLS itself or police the network. See spec §Auth.
-
-## Status
-
-Empty repo. Spec approved and committed. **NAP-211 is the natural start.**

+`web/src/styles.css` (`:root` token block); this document mirrors it. Register:
+**product** — design serves the task. See [PRODUCT.md](PRODUCT.md) for strategy.
+
+## Theme
+
+Dark is the default (terminal context); light is a full peer. Everything is
+driven by CSS custom-property tokens, so a theme is a token swap, never a
+restyle. Resolution order:
+
+1. `:root[data-theme="light"|"dark"]` — explicit user pin (persisted in
+   `localStorage` as `maestro-theme`), set by the header toggle.
+2. `@media (prefers-color-scheme: light)` — followed when the user hasn't
+   pinned a theme.
+3. Otherwise the `:root` defaults (dark).
+
+The xterm terminal stays dark in both themes by convention; `--term-bg` is dark
+in light mode too.
+
+## Color (OKLCH)
+
+Strategy: **Restrained** (product floor) with one committed signal hue —
+**green = "alive"**, carrying running status, primary action, focus, and
+selection. Neutrals are a cool slate (hue ~256). Green is the signal, never a
+costume: text stays neutral high-contrast, surfaces stay slate, so the result
+reads terminal-native without CRT novelty.
+
+| Role | Dark | Light |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--bg` | `oklch(0.178 0.012 256)` | `oklch(0.985 0.003 256)` |
+| `--surface` | `oklch(0.214 0.014 256)` | `oklch(1 0 0)` |
+| `--surface-2` | `oklch(0.252 0.016 256)` | `oklch(0.965 0.004 256)` |
+| `--surface-3` | `oklch(0.292 0.018 256)` | `oklch(0.93 0.006 256)` |
+| `--border` | `oklch(0.318 0.018 256)` | `oklch(0.892 0.008 256)` |
+| `--border-strong` | `oklch(0.4 0.022 256)` | `oklch(0.82 0.012 256)` |
+| `--ink` (body text) | `oklch(0.945 0.006 256)` | `oklch(0.26 0.014 256)` |
+| `--muted` (secondary) | `oklch(0.722 0.014 256)` | `oklch(0.47 0.016 256)` |
+| `--faint` (tertiary/decorative) | `oklch(0.58 0.014 256)` | `oklch(0.62 0.016 256)` |
+| `--accent` / `--live` | `oklch(0.83–0.84 0.16–0.17 152)` | `oklch(0.6 0.15–0.16 151)` |
+| `--accent-ink` (text on accent) | `oklch(0.2 0.03 256)` | `oklch(0.99 0.01 152)` |
+| `--danger` | `oklch(0.72 0.18 25)` | `oklch(0.55 0.21 27)` |
+| `--warn` | `oklch(0.82 0.14 85)` | `oklch(0.66 0.15 75)` |
+
+Body and secondary text meet WCAG AA (≥4.5:1) against their surface in both
+themes; `--faint` is reserved for decorative/large use only. Status never relies
+on color alone — a running dot pulses and is filled; a dead session is a hollow
+ring **and** carries an "exited" badge.
+
+Tints/glow derive from the accent at low alpha: `--accent-tint` (0.12),
+`--accent-ring` (focus, ~0.55), `--live-glow` (status halo).
+
+## Typography
+
+**Monospace is the UI typeface** (brand identity), system-stack only (offline-
+safe, zero web-font dependency, embedded clean into the web binary):
+
+- `--font-mono`: `ui-monospace, "SF Mono", "Cascadia Code", "JetBrains Mono", "Roboto Mono", Menlo, Consolas, monospace` — chrome, labels, data, ids, the wordmark.
+- `--font-sans`: `system-ui` stack — reserved for the few prose strings (empty-state sentences).
+
+Fixed rem scale (product register; not fluid/clamped): `--fs-11` 0.6875rem
+through `--fs-20` 1.25rem, in ~1.12–1.2 steps. Base body `--fs-15` (0.9375rem),
+line-height 1.45. No display sizes — the largest type is the 1.25rem wordmark.
+
+## Spacing, radius, sizing
+
+- Spacing scale: `--sp-1`..`--sp-8` = 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 / 20 / 24 / 32 px.
+- Radius: `--r-1` 6 · `--r-2` 9 · `--r-3` 14 · `--r-pill` 999.
+- Touch/row sizing: `--row-h` 46, `--control-h` 38, `--tap` 40 (mobile-first
+  touch targets).
+
+## Motion
+
+State and feedback only; 120–240 ms, ease-out (`cubic-bezier(0.22,1,0.36,1)`),
+no bounce. Tokens `--dur-fast`/`--dur`/`--dur-slow`.
+
+- Living signals: brand dot + running-status ripple pulse (the "alive" cue);
+  `connecting` state pill pulses.
+- Interaction: row hover/focus, button press (1px), input focus ring, chevron
+  rotation, theme-toggle sun/moon swap.
+- Every animation has a `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` path (pulses off,
+  transitions near-instant).
+
+## Layout & structure
+
+Mobile-first, structural responsiveness (not fluid type). Single `≤520px`
+breakpoint stacks the header (full-width search, wrapped actions). A faint
+slate grid texture sits on `--bg` as terminal atmosphere (very low contrast,
+not decoration).
+
+## Components
+
+Three surfaces, all DOM built in TS, styled by class:
+
+- **Catalog** — sticky blurred header (pulsing wordmark, search, theme toggle,
+  Spawn); status bar (`N sessions · M live` tally); session tree (collapsible
+  directory folders with counts, leaf rows with status dot, name, command meta,
+  exited badge, reveal-on-hover kill). Empty states are distinct and teach:
+  no-sessions, no-search-match.
+- **Attach** — header (back, `session <id>`, live/closed/error state pill) over
+  a framed dark xterm with a green cursor.
+- **Spawn modal** — the spawn form in a centered dialog (a bottom sheet below
+  600px) over a blurred backdrop; mono inputs with green focus ring; grouped
+  worktree fieldset. Escape, Cancel, ✕ and a backdrop click all dismiss it.
+  Submitting gives the new session its own tab; "Spawn similar" seeds the form
+  from a session's dir + command and puts the result beside it.
+
+Interactive elements ship default / hover / focus-visible / active / disabled
+states; the accent green is used only for action, selection, focus, and live
+status — never decoration.
+
+## Dev review aids (DEV-only, stripped from production)
+
+`web/src/mock.ts` + query params seed a representative catalog without a running
+daemon: `?mock` (seed sessions), `?mock&spawn` (open the spawn modal),
+`?theme=light|dark` (pin a theme). Guarded by `import.meta.env.DEV`.

+# Product
+
+## Register
+
+product
+
+## Users
+
+A single technical operator (a developer) managing every interactive shell and
+agent — Claude Code, opencode, plain bash — running on a machine. The
+job-to-be-done: from any device (laptop, desktop, **phone**), get an accurate
+at-a-glance picture of all live sessions on that host, then attach to one and
+drive its terminal. Usage is often glance-and-go: checking on a
+long-running agent, killing a stray session, or hopping into a shell mid-task.
+Mobile-first is a hard requirement — touch targets, viewport-fit safe areas,
+and bottom-sheet modals already reflect this.
+
+## Product Purpose
+
+Maestro is a terminal-session orchestrator: one place to see and attach to
+every interactive session running on a machine. tmux for persistence,
+WebSocket for transport, one daemon per host. The web UI is the browser face of
+that system — it renders the session catalog and provides the attach terminal
+(xterm.js). Success = the operator trusts the picture is accurate and
+current, and can get from "open the page" to "typing in the right session" in
+seconds, on any device.
+
+## Brand Personality
+
+Three words: **precise, calm, alive.** This is infrastructure tooling — it must
+read as trustworthy and exact, never toy-like — but it watches living
+processes, so status must feel present and current, not static. Voice is terse
+and technical, matching the CLI and the repo's terse house style. It is a
+craftsman's tool: opinionated, monospace-literate, with quiet personality
+rather than decoration. Emotional goals: in control / confident, fast /
+efficient, calm / uncluttered, with earned moments of delight.
+
+## Anti-references
+
+- Generic Tailwind-admin / SaaS-cream dashboards.
+- Heavy gradients, glassmorphism, glass cards as decoration.
+- Playful, rounded, "friendly app" aesthetics that undercut the
+  infrastructure-tool trust.
+- Whitespace-maximalist layouts that trade away the at-a-glance scan for
+  "elegance."
+- Anything where you could guess the design from the category alone
+  ("terminal tool → CRT-green-on-black novelty"): the orchestrator identity is
+  earned through restraint, not costume.
+
+## Design Principles
+
+1. **The scan is the product.** Optimize for instant comprehension of "what's
+   running, where, and is it healthy" across many sessions. Status legibility
+   beats everything else.
+2. **Calm under load.** Stay uncluttered whether there are 3 sessions or 300;
+   hierarchy and grouping carry the weight, not color-shouting every row.
+3. **Fast and keyboard-literate.** Low-friction, efficient, gets out of the
+   way; honor keyboard navigation, don't make the operator hunt.
+4. **Monospace as identity.** Treat the mono/sans pairing as deliberate brand
+   typography, not just terminal output. Ids, paths, counts, and state read as
+   precise technical data.
+5. **Earned delight.** Personality lives in motion and micro-detail (live-status
+   pulse, attach transitions, cursor cues), never in noise — always craft.
+
+## Accessibility & Inclusion
+
+Standard good practice, applied rigorously: WCAG AA contrast for all text and
+status, visible keyboard focus on every interactive element, and a full
+`prefers-reduced-motion` alternative for every animation. Status must never rely
+on color alone (pair the dot with a label/shape). Dark and light themes are
+equal citizens, driven entirely by CSS custom-property tokens.

+#   Gradle start up script for POSIX generated by Gradle.
+#
+#   Important for running:
+#
+#   (1) You need a POSIX-compliant shell to run this script. If your /bin/sh is
+#       noncompliant, but you have some other compliant shell such as ksh or
+#       bash, then to run this script, type that shell name before the whole
+#       command line, like:
+#
+#           ksh Gradle
+#
+#       Busybox and similar reduced shells will NOT work, because this script
+#       requires all of these POSIX shell features:
+#         * functions;
+#         * expansions «$var», «${var}», «${var:-default}», «${var+SET}»,
+#           «${var#prefix}», «${var%suffix}», and «$( cmd )»;
+#         * compound commands having a testable exit status, especially «case»;
+#         * various built-in commands including «command», «set», and «ulimit».
+#
+#   Important for patching:
+#
+#   (2) This script targets any POSIX shell, so it avoids extensions provided
+#       by Bash, Ksh, etc; in particular arrays are avoided.
+#
+#       The "traditional" practice of packing multiple parameters into a
+#       space-separated string is a well documented source of bugs and security
+#       issues, so this is (mostly) avoided, by progressively accumulating
+#       options in "$@", and eventually passing that to Java.
+#
+#       Where the inherited environment variables (DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
+#       and GRADLE_OPTS) rely on word-splitting, this is performed explicitly;
+#       see the in-line comments for details.
+#
+#       There are tweaks for specific operating systems such as AIX, CygWin,
+#       Darwin, MinGW, and NonStop.
+#
+#   (3) This script is generated via the Gradle "wrapper" task
+#       (see https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html)
+#       within the Gradle project.
+#
+#       You can find Gradle at https://github.com/gradle/gradle/.

+"""A deterministic stand-in for `claude-code-acp` (#134).
+
+Speaks just enough JSON-RPC over stdio for the daemon's handshake:
+answers `initialize` and `session/new`, logs every method it receives, and
+exits on SIGTERM. Tests point `PATH` at a directory holding this file under
+the adapter's name, so the real adapter (which needs Claude auth and is
+slow) never runs in the deterministic suite.
+
+Environment knobs, all optional:
+
+  FAKE_ACP_LOG            append one line per event to this file:
+                            start pid=<pid> cwd=<cwd>

+  FAKE_ACP_DELAY_SESSION_NEW_MS=n  wait n milliseconds before answering
+                             `session/new`
+  FAKE_ACP_SESSION_NEW_GATE=path  wait for `path` to exist before answering
+                             `session/new`
+  FAKE_ACP_EXIT_AFTER_NEW=1  exit 0 right after answering `session/new`
+  FAKE_ACP_EXIT_ON_CANCEL=1  exit 0 on `session/cancel` (default: keep running
+                             so the SIGTERM path is exercised)
+  FAKE_ACP_IGNORE_EOF=1      keep running after stdin closes, until signalled
+  FAKE_ACP_EMIT_ON_CANCEL=1  emit a final notification before handling cancel
+  FAKE_ACP_CANCEL_SETTLES=1  complete the outstanding prompt on cancel
+  FAKE_ACP_NO_LOAD=1      advertise `loadSession: false`
+  FAKE_ACP_LOAD_REPLAY=n  on `session/load`, replay n `agent_message_chunk`
+                            notifications ("replayed <i>") before answering,
+                            the way a real agent streams history back
+  FAKE_ACP_LOAD_FAIL=1    answer `session/load` with a JSON-RPC error
+  FAKE_ACP_DELAY_PROMPT_MS=n  wait before answering `session/prompt`
+  FAKE_ACP_PROMPT_FAIL=1  answer every `session/prompt` with a JSON-RPC error
+  FAKE_ACP_PROMPT_FAIL_ONCE=1  answer only the first `session/prompt` with a
+                             JSON-RPC error
+  FAKE_ACP_SETTINGS=1      advertise legacy model/mode and modern effort options
+  FAKE_ACP_PERMISSION_AFTER_CANCEL=1  defer the first prompt's permission
+                             callback until a later prompt
+
+Signals: SIGUSR1 emits one `agent_message_chunk` notification ("tick <n>",

+//! Naming a session after its first prompt (#131).
+//!
+//! A session spawned without a name carries one of the daemon's own handles,
+//! marked [`NameSource::Generated`] — provisional, dimmed by both sidebars.
+//! The first prompt an agent reports to `POST /api/sessions/:id/prompt`
+//! replaces it with a name derived from that prompt, and the session settles
+//! at [`NameSource::Haiku`]. Only the first prompt does this: a session names
+//! itself once.
+//!
+//! The name is produced by running `claude -p --model haiku` on this machine —
+//! the daemon has no API key, makes no outbound HTTP request, and reuses
+//! whatever authentication the operator's own CLI already has. Everything here
+//! is best-effort: a missing binary, a timeout, or an unusable answer leaves
+//! the generated handle in place.
+//!
+//! The prompt is a user's own text, and it is handled as data throughout. It
+//! goes to the child on stdin (never argv, where it would be visible in the
+//! process table), it is never logged, and whatever comes back is reduced to
+//! a short slug by [`clean`] rather than trusted as a name.

+//! When the user picks a working directory, the spawn form wants to offer a
+//! "git worktree" toggle that needs only a branch name — the `base_repo` is
+//! *inferred* from the chosen dir rather than typed. This module answers that
+//! one question: "what git repository, if any, encloses this path?"
+//!
+//! [`find_root`] walks up from a path to the nearest ancestor containing a
+//! `.git` entry and returns that ancestor (the repo toplevel). A regular `.git`
+//! directory and a `.git` *file* (the linked-worktree / submodule form) both
+//! count, so a dir that is itself inside a checked-out worktree still resolves
+//! to its worktree toplevel.
+//!
+//! It's a pure filesystem walk with no `git` subprocess — same shape as
+//! [`crate::dirlist`]: unit-tested in isolation, and the HTTP handler /
+//! HTTP layer (#26) just wraps its `Option` for the wire.

-//! endpoint (NAP-248).
-//!
-//! Two sources feed this bus:

-//! 1. **Own-session events** — the daemon's `SessionManager::events()` stream,
-//!    translated from `SessionEvent` into the matching `RegistryEvent` variant
-//!    by [`spawn_session_publisher`].
-//! 2. **Peer-catalog events** — applied to the daemon's [`CatalogMirror`] when
-//!    the registry fans them out (NAP-246). `CatalogMirror::apply` publishes
-//!    each event here after mutating its local view.
-//!
-//! Subscribers get the merged stream. The `WS /api/events` handler builds a
-//! one-shot `Snapshot` of own ∪ peer state on connect, then forwards live
-//! deltas until the client disconnects. `Lagged` follows the registry's
-//! existing convention — clients resync via REST.

+//! Durable per-host spawn history for the spawn form's "recent dirs" picker (#24).
+//!
+//! Sidecars are deleted on kill, so they can't back a "recently used working
+//! directories" list. This module keeps an **append-only JSONL log** at
+//! `<state_dir>/spawn-history.jsonl`, one [`SpawnHistoryRecord`] per successful
+//! spawn, that survives kills and daemon restarts.
+//!
+//! - **Write:** [`SpawnHistory::append`] adds a line. Best-effort — callers
+//!   ignore the error so a log-write failure never fails a spawn.
+//! - **Read:** [`SpawnHistory::recent_dirs`] folds the log newest-first, dedups
+//!   by `cwd`, drops entries past the recency cap, and caps the result count.
+//! - **Prune:** [`SpawnHistory::compact`] rewrites the file dropping records
+//!   past the recency cap; it's called opportunistically from `append` once the
+//!   file grows past [`COMPACT_THRESHOLD_BYTES`].
+//!
+//! The recency cap comes from `[daemon].spawn_history_days` (default 30); `0`
+//! disables history entirely — `append` and `recent_dirs` both become no-ops.
+//!
+//! Like [`crate::dirlist`] / [`crate::gitroot`], the time-dependent logic is
+//! factored into `*_as_of(now)` helpers so the fold/prune behaviour is
+//! unit-tested deterministically without touching the wall clock.

+//! What size the shared tmux window should be, given every client watching it.
+//!
+//! A tmux window has one size, but a session can have several clients attached
+//! at once — two browser panes, a browser and the TUI. Each reports the size
+//! *it* can display, and applying whichever arrived last makes the window
+//! flip-flop. Every flip forces a full-screen application (Claude Code, vim) to
+//! repaint at a new height, and the rows it drew at the old height are never
+//! cleared: the operator ends up looking at a stale input box, types into a
+//! box that is not where the screen says it is, and concludes the pane is
+//! stuck.
+//!
+//! So the window is sized to the smallest attached client on each axis — the
+//! same rule tmux uses for its own multiple clients, and the only size every
+//! client can render without truncation. The size last handed to tmux is
+//! remembered, so a report that changes nothing costs no `tmux` fork at all.
