Sessions are named by a random handle picked in the spawn form. Replace that with a name derived from the session's first prompt.

Behind a cargo feature haiku-autoname, on by default:

# maestro-daemon
default = ["haiku-autoname"]
haiku-autoname = []
# maestro (umbrella) — `?` keeps the daemon out of a cli-only build
haiku-autoname = ["maestro-daemon?/haiku-autoname"]

Naming moves server-side. The spawn form's name field starts empty in both clients; the /api/names prefetch and reroll go away (web/src/spawnForm.ts:271, maestro-tui/src/draft.rs). CreateSessionRequest.name becomes optional, and create() generates the handle itself via maestro_names.

metadata.name_source: generated | haiku | user. A typed name is user and is never overwritten. PATCH rename always sets user, so renaming pins a name. generated renders dimmed in both sidebars — provisional. A session that never sends a prompt stays dimmed indefinitely; that is accurate, no timer. Update docs/SIDEBAR.md line 1, and add a source accessor next to display::custom_name.

The signal is agent-agnostic. New POST /api/sessions/:id/prompt taking {prompt}. Claude Code feeds it from a UserPromptSubmit hook (add to HOOK_EVENTS, gated with the feature so a build without it installs no dead hook); other agents get their own installers writing to the same route. The hook posts its payload verbatim (curl -d @-) and lets the daemon parse the JSON — prompts contain quotes and newlines.

Naming runs claude -p --model haiku as a subprocess, whatever agent sent the prompt. No API key, no outbound HTTP from the daemon. Prompt goes in on stdin, never argv, and is never logged. Hard timeout ~10s; on failure or a missing binary, keep the generated handle silently. Only fires when name_source == "generated", once per session. On success, manager.rename() — existing sidecar write and SessionUpdated broadcast, no client changes.

Wire types and the route constant in maestro-protocol stay ungated.
