xarmian 2174993f68 feat(web): "+" finds a workspace outside your tabs, creates one, or restores one (TASK-3276) (#1639)
PLAN-3002 U4, Dave's Q4 ruling. Since U3 the bar shows only the open set,
so the TopBar "+" becomes the way to reach any other workspace:

- WorkspaceDiscovery: a combobox over a listbox of every visible workspace
  NOT open as a tab, filtered by name or slug, then "New workspace", then
  recently deleted. Arrows (wrapping, aria-activedescendant), Enter, Escape
  (returns focus to "+"), and outside press. Choosing a workspace opens it
  as a KEPT tab and lands on its last route; a failed open still navigates.
- RecentlyDeletedWorkspaces: the deleted-list piece moved out of
  WorkspaceSwitcher, which now renders it too (U6 will build on the same).
- The "+" title is now "Find or create a workspace", since it no longer
  opens the create modal directly; two e2e specs follow the new path.
- Pending invitations are split out to U4b (TASK-3277); "+" keeps a slot.

Also: the U3 drag e2e leg released before svelte-dnd-action sampled the
final pointer position (1 in 10); it now waits for the drag to engage and
for the shadow slot to move before releasing.

Pad Web UI

SvelteKit 2 + Svelte 5 frontend for Pad, compiled to static files and embedded into the Go binary.

Development

npm install
npm run dev          # Dev server at localhost:5173 (proxies API to localhost:7777)
npm run build        # Production build to build/
npm run check        # Type checking with svelte-check

When developing, run the Go backend separately with make dev from the project root.

Building for Production

Do not build in isolation. Always use make build from the project root — this builds the web frontend, then compiles the Go binary with the build output embedded via //go:embed.

Stack

  • Svelte 5 with runes ($state, $derived, $effect)
  • SvelteKit 2 with adapter-static (SPA mode)
  • Tiptap block editor with markdown round-trip
  • svelte-dnd-action for drag-and-drop in board/list views
  • SSE for real-time updates
  • TypeScript throughout
