Miguel Palhas 5c3f9cab9f feat(maestro): replace spawn modal with draft panes (#62)
The draft pane covers every field the modal had; the modal was a second
code path for the same job. The header Spawn button, sidebar empty state,
welcome button, and ?mock&spawn now open a draft pane via
MultiView.openDraft — reusing an empty focused pane, else splitting it.
"Spawn similar" seeds a draft with the session's cwd + command.

Modal-only CSS (backdrop, sheet/dialog chrome, keyframes) is deleted;
.modal-body form styling folds into .spawn-form, which also picks up the
select styling the worktree branch picker was borrowing from the modal.

# maestro-web
Browser UI for Maestro. Talks to a single local daemon over its `/api/*`
HTTP/WS surface — session catalog, spawn/kill, and 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 daemon if needed.
## Layout
```
src/
main.ts # entry point, hash-route dispatch
api.ts # daemon HTTP API client
events.ts # `/api/events` WebSocket subscriber
catalog.ts # session tree view (groups by working directory)
attach.ts # xterm.js + attach WS view
multiview.ts # tabs + split panes; draft panes host the spawn form
spawnForm.ts # shared spawn form (preset tiles, project picker, worktree)
theme.ts # dark/light theme toggle + persistence
types.ts # mirror of `maestro-protocol` JSON shapes
styles.css # design-system tokens + component styles
mock.ts # DEV-only review fixture (see Design)
```
## Design
The visual system (OKLCH token palette, monospace-first typography, dark+light
theming, motion, components) is documented in [`../DESIGN.md`](../DESIGN.md);
the tokens live in the `:root` block of `src/styles.css`. Strategic intent
(register, brand, principles) is in [`../PRODUCT.md`](../PRODUCT.md). Theme
follows the OS by default and can be pinned via the header toggle (persisted in
`localStorage`).
`mock.ts` is a DEV-only fixture (stripped from production builds): visit the dev
server with `?mock` to seed a representative catalog without a running daemon,
`?mock&spawn` to open a draft pane, and `?theme=light|dark` to pin a theme.
Routing is hash-based:
- `#/` → catalog
- `#/attach/<session-id>` → terminal
This keeps the static handler dumb (no SPA fallback needed). Concurrent
attaches: open the same `#/attach/<id>` URL in another tab.
## Dev
```sh
pnpm install
pnpm dev # http://localhost:5173, proxies /api → http://127.0.0.1:7070
pnpm build # → dist/, embedded into the maestro-web binary at cargo build time
```
The Vite dev server proxies `/api` and the WebSockets to a local daemon.
Default is `http://127.0.0.1:7070`; point it elsewhere by exporting
`MAESTRO_DAEMON_URL` before `pnpm dev`:
```sh
MAESTRO_DAEMON_URL=http://laptop.lan:7070 pnpm dev
```
## Production
`pnpm build` writes the bundle to `web/dist/`. The `maestro-web` crate embeds
that directory at compile time and serves it from `/`, reverse-proxying `/api/*`
to the daemon. See `crates/maestro-web/src/static_bundle.rs`.
