Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into tuba-2

The collapsed tool group now reads "N tool calls · Label 'arg'" so the
operator sees the current command at a glance. While a turn is active,
the most recent agent text stays outside the group as visible narration.

+`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

+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

+`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.

+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+"""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>
+                            env <NAME>=<value>       (for FAKE_ACP_ECHO_ENV)
+                            caps <json of clientCapabilities>
+                            recv <method>
+                            signal SIGTERM
+  FAKE_ACP_ECHO_ENV       name of one env var to log at start
+  FAKE_ACP_INIT_FAIL=1    answer `initialize` with a JSON-RPC error
+  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>",
+counting from 1) and logs `emit tick <n>`, so a test can make the agent
+speak on demand (#135).

+//! Two build-time jobs for the daemon.
+//!
+//! **Build stamp.** Records the commit the binary was built from, so
+//! `GET /api/info` can tell clients which release they are talking to. Two
+//! sources, in order:
+//!
+//! 1. `MAESTRO_BUILD_COMMIT` / `MAESTRO_BUILD_DATE` / `MAESTRO_BUILD_DIRTY` in
+//!    the environment. The Nix build has no `.git` in its source tree (crane
+//!    filters it out), so `flake.nix` passes the flake's own revision this way.
+//! 2. The git checkout the crate is being compiled in.
+//!
+//! Neither available leaves the values empty; clients treat that as "unknown
+//! release" rather than an error.
+//!
+//! **SPA bundle.** Under the `web` feature only, resolve the directory
+//! `static_bundle.rs` embeds via `include_dir!` and publish it as
+//! `MAESTRO_WEB_BUNDLE_DIR`. Two modes:
+//!
+//! * `MAESTRO_WEB_DIST` set — the bundle was built elsewhere (Nix, CI, a
+//!   release pipeline) and that directory is embedded as-is. No node, no pnpm.
+//! * unset — the default developer path: run `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
+//!   && pnpm build` in `web/` and embed `web/dist`. pnpm and node are HARD
+//!   requirements here; a missing toolchain fails with an actionable message
+//!   rather than silently shipping the placeholder.

+//!
+//! Spawning into a worktree on an *existing* branch needs to know which
+//! branches the repository has and which are taken: git refuses to check the
+//! same branch out in two worktrees at once. Each [`BranchInfo`] answers for
+//! one local branch — its name, whether it is the main checkout's HEAD, and
+//! which linked worktree (if any) holds it.
+//!
+//! Read-only, like [`crate::gitroot`]: two git probes (`for-each-ref`,
+//! `worktree list --porcelain`) with no write path anywhere. A path outside
+//! any repository yields an empty list rather than an error, matching how
+//! `/api/gitroot` reports "not a repository".

+//! 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.

+//! Agent activity hook (#106).
+//!
+//! Two halves, both shared by the `maestro hooks install` CLI subcommand and
+//! the daemon's first-start auto-install:
+//!
+//! * [`HOOK_SCRIPT`] — the hook itself, written to disk at install time. It
+//!   posts an [`ActivityState`](maestro-protocol) to
+//!   `$MAESTRO_URL/api/sessions/$MAESTRO_SESSION_ID/activity` (#105). The same
+//!   global hook runs in every agent session on the machine, so it exits
+//!   0 and silently when either #103 env var is unset, and it never lets a
+//!   daemon failure escape (short curl timeout, status ignored).
+//! * [`install`] — idempotent registration of that script in one [`Target`]'s
+//!   hook file. Only entries maestro itself wrote (identified by
+//!   [`HOOK_MARKER`]) are touched; every other hook and every other field in
+//!   the file is preserved verbatim.
+//!
+//! One script serves every [`Target`]: Claude Code and Codex read the same
+//! `{"hooks": {Event: [{"hooks": [{"type": "command", "command": …}]}]}}`
+//! shape and hand the hook the same JSON on stdin. Only the file's location
+//! and the event set differ.

+//! Serves the real `/api/*` surface from `maestro-protocol` types, backed by a
+//! `Vec<Session>` instead of tmux. Use it whenever the subject under test is a
+//! client — request building, error decoding, the catalog reducer, the proxy —
