build.rs now builds web/dist before include_dir! evaluates, so the checked-in .gitkeep placeholder is no longer needed for a fresh checkout to compile (verified by building with web/dist entirely absent). Ignore dist/ wholesale and update the static_bundle doc comment. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
maestro-web
Browser UI for Maestro. Connects to the registry HTTP/WS API for the catalog and to individual daemons (via direct WebSocket) for terminal I/O.
Framework choice: vanilla TypeScript
No frontend framework. The UI is small enough that the cost of pulling in Preact / Solid / Leptos doesn't pay back. xterm.js does all the heavy rendering; everything else is a session tree and a spawn form, both trivial in plain DOM.
This decision is non-architectural — swap in a framework later without touching the registry or daemon if needed.
Layout
src/
main.ts # entry point, hash-route dispatch
api.ts # registry HTTP API client
events.ts # `/api/events` WebSocket subscriber
catalog.ts # session tree view (groups by metadata.label)
attach.ts # xterm.js + daemon WS attach view
spawn.ts # spawn-session modal
types.ts # mirror of `maestro-protocol` JSON shapes
styles.css # mobile-first base styles
Routing is hash-based:
#/→ catalog#/attach/<session-id>→ terminal
This keeps the registry's static handler dumb (no SPA fallback needed).
Concurrent attaches: open the same #/attach/<id> URL in another tab.
Dev
pnpm install
pnpm dev # http://localhost:5173, proxies /api → http://127.0.0.1:8080
pnpm build # → dist/, embedded into the registry binary at cargo build time
The Vite dev server proxies /api and the events WebSocket to a
maestro-registry. Default is http://127.0.0.1:8080; point it elsewhere by
exporting MAESTRO_REGISTRY before pnpm dev:
MAESTRO_REGISTRY=https://maestro-registry.example.com pnpm dev
# Daemon-facing URL also works — `wss://...` is rewritten to `https://...`
# and a trailing `/daemon` is stripped.
MAESTRO_REGISTRY=wss://maestro-registry.example.com/daemon pnpm dev
Direct daemon WS connections (for attach) bypass the proxy and use the URL
returned by GET /api/sessions/:id/connect-info.
Production
pnpm build writes the bundle to web/dist/. The Rust registry crate
embeds that directory via rust-embed at compile time and serves it from
/. See crates/maestro-registry/src/web_assets.rs.
