fix: resolve mapper configuration for ToolDefinitionManifest and Workspace

Move ToolDefinitionManifest import out of TYPE_CHECKING in tool_type.py
so SQLAlchemy can resolve the string-annotated relationship during mapper
configuration.

Add Workspace to models/__init__.py (before ToolInstance) so the
ToolInstance-Workspace relationship can be resolved.

Quality gates: py_compile passed, ruff passed, all mappers configure OK.

+# Design: Workspace-Based Tool Instances
+
+## Status
+
+| Field | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Phase | **Design** |
+| Based on | [Spec](spec.md) |
+| Next | Tasks |
+
+## Decision: No Migration
+
+Existing tool instances will be left as-is. Users will create new workspaces and new tool instances. Old instances remain functional but read-only (no migration path). This simplifies the implementation significantly.
+

+## Compose Template Updates
+
+### Workspace Mount
+
+All compose templates will mount the workspace path instead of the repo path:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  app:
+    image: ${IMAGE_TAG}
+    container_name: ${INSTANCE_NAME}
+    volumes:
+      - ${WORKSPACE_PATH}:/workspace
+    working_dir: /workspace
+    # ... rest of config
+```
+
+The `${WORKSPACE_PATH}` variable replaces `${REPO_PATH}` in all templates.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+| Error | HTTP Status | Frontend Behavior |
+|---|---|---|
+| Workspace name not unique per repo | 409 | Show inline validation error |
+| Workspace has running instances | 409 | Show confirmation dialog |
+| Branch deleted from remote | 409 | Show confirmation dialog to delete workspace |
+| Repo not found | 404 | Show error toast |
+| Git clone failed | 500 | Show error toast with git stderr |
+| Workspace path missing | 500 | Show error toast |
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **Git clone** is synchronous and slow; run in background with status polling
+- **Workspace list** should include `instance_count` via subquery (not N+1)
+- **Sync** is fast (fetch only), but pull may be slow; run async
+- **Delete with instances** stops instances sequentially; consider parallel
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Workspace paths must be validated to prevent path traversal
+- Users can only access their own workspaces
+- Git credentials (SSH keys) must be available during clone
+- Workspace directories must have correct ownership for container users
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Backend
+- Unit: WorkspaceManager.create, delete, sync
+- Unit: GitService.clone, fetch, pull, branch_exists_remotely
+- Integration: Create workspace → start tool → verify mount
+- Integration: Delete workspace with running instances
+- Integration: Sync with deleted branch
+
+### Frontend
+- Component: WorkspaceCard renders correctly
+- Component: Create form validates name uniqueness
+- Hook: useWorkspaceActions handles 409 confirmation
+- E2E: Create workspace → start tool → delete workspace
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- Auto-sync on schedule
+- Workspace sharing between users
+- Git push/pull/branch UI
+- Pre-created default workspaces
+- Read-only workspace mode
+- Workspace backup/restore

+# Explore: Working Copies
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Currently, tool instances mount repositories directly. Each tool instance either:
+- **Mount mode**: Bind-mounts the shared repo path (`/data/repos/<repo>`) read-only
+- **Clone mode**: Clones the repo into the instance directory
+
+This has several problems:
+1. **Mount mode**: Read-only, so users can't edit files in the tool
+2. **Clone mode**: Creates a full copy per instance, wasting disk space
+3. **UI complexity**: The create-instance form must ask "mount or clone?" and handle branch selection
+4. **No persistence**: Clone-mode repos live inside the instance directory and are lost on delete
+5. **Race conditions**: Multiple instances mounting the same repo can conflict
+
+## Proposed Solution: Working Copies
+
+Introduce a **Workspace** as a first-class entity: a persistent, writable local clone of a repository that lives independently of any tool instance. Tool instances are then *started on* a working copy, which is mounted into the container.
+
+### Naming Candidates
+
+| Name | Pros | Cons |
+|---|---|---|
+| Workspace | Common in IDEs; implies a working area | Conflicts with existing docs/features/workspace.md |
+| **Workspace** | Common in IDEs (VS Code, JetBrains); implies a working area | May conflict with existing "workspace" terminology in docs |
+| **Checkout** | Git-native term; implies a working tree | Too specific to git; implies a single commit/branch |
+| **Sandbox** | Implies isolation and experimentation | Suggests throwaway/ephemeral, not persistent |
+| **Dev Copy** | Simple and descriptive | Informal; "copy" still implies duplication |
+| **Project Clone** | Clear relationship to project+repo | Clunky; two words |
+| **Branch** | Git-native; each working copy is effectively a branch workspace | Too git-specific; may confuse with git branches |
+
+**Decision: "Workspace"** — chosen by user despite existing docs/features/workspace.md. The existing workspace.md will be superseded/renamed to avoid confusion. — it's the most precise term. In SVN/Git parlance, a "working copy" is exactly what we want: a local, writable copy of a repository that you work on. The term is established enough that developers understand it, but not so overloaded in our domain that it conflicts.
+
+### Entity Model
+
+```
+Project
+  └── GitRepository (the canonical repo, read-only source)
+        └── WorkingCopy (writable local clone, 1+ per repo)
+              └── ToolInstance (mounts the working copy)
+```
+
+A Workspace:
+- Has a `name` (auto-generated or user-defined)
+- Has a `path` on disk (under `/data/working-copies/<repo-id>/<copy-name>`)
+- Has a `branch` (the branch it's currently on)
+- Has a `status` (ready, syncing, error)
+- Belongs to a `GitRepository`
+- Belongs to a `User`
+- Has many `ToolInstance`s
+
+### User Flow
+
+1. User navigates to **Working Copies** in the sidebar
+2. Sees list of working copies (or creates one from a repo)
+3. Clicks "New Workspace" → selects repo + branch → named copy created
+4. From a working copy, clicks "Start Tool" → selects tool type → instance starts with working copy mounted
+5. Multiple tool instances can share the same working copy (e.g., terminal + code-server side by side)
+
+### Benefits
+
+1. **Writable by default**: Working copies are clones, so tools can edit files
+2. **Shared across instances**: Multiple tools can mount the same working copy
+3. **Persistent**: Survives instance deletion
+4. **Simplified UI**: No more "mount vs clone" decision; tool creation is just "pick a working copy"
+5. **Git operations**: Working copies can support git push/pull/branch from the UI
+6. **Disk efficient**: One clone per working copy, not one per instance
+
+### Open Questions
+
+1. Should working copies auto-sync with the canonical repo?
+2. Should we support multiple working copies per repo (e.g., one per branch)?
+3. How do we handle merge conflicts if the canonical repo changes?
+4. Should working copies be scoped to a user or to a project?
+5. What happens to tool instances when a working copy is deleted?
+6. Should we pre-create a default working copy when a repo is added?
+
+### Migration Path
+
+Existing tool instances that use clone_mode can be migrated:
+- On first access, extract the cloned repo from the instance directory
+- Move it to `/data/working-copies/...`
+- Create a WorkingCopy record pointing to it
+- Update the instance to mount the working copy path
+
+Mount-mode instances can be converted on restart:
+- Create a working copy from the canonical repo
+- Switch the instance to mount the working copy instead
+
+### Scope for This Change
+
+This change focuses on:
+- [ ] Creating the WorkingCopy entity and database table
+- [ ] Adding a Working Copies section to the UI (sidebar nav + list view)
+- [ ] Updating tool instance creation to select a working copy instead of repo+clone_mode
+- [ ] Updating compose generation to mount the working copy path
+- [ ] Migrating existing clone_mode instances to use working copies
+
+Out of scope (future changes):
+- [ ] Auto-sync with canonical repo
+- [ ] Git operations UI (push/pull/branch)
+- [ ] Working copy sharing between users
+- [ ] Pre-create default working copies

+# Proposal: Workspace-Based Tool Instances
+
+## Status
+
+| Field | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Phase | **Proposal** |
+| Based on | [Explore](explore.md) |
+| Next | Spec |
+
+## Decisions from Explore
+
+| Decision | Value |
+|---|---|
+| **Name** | "Workspace" (supersedes existing workspace.md) |
+| **Scope** | Unlimited workspaces per repository |
+| **Auto-create** | No — explicit creation only |
+| **Default branch** | Main/master or user-selected at creation time |
+| **Delete with running instances** | Allowed with confirmation; stops and deletes all associated tool instances |
+| **Name uniqueness** | Unique per project+repo (derived from project and repo names) |
+| **Deleted remote branch** | On sync/update, detect and ask for confirmation to delete local workspace/branch |
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The current tool instance creation requires users to choose between "mount" (read-only) and "clone" (writable but ephemeral) modes. This is confusing and leads to either:
+- **Mount mode**: Tools open files read-only, frustrating editing
+- **Clone mode**: Each instance clones the repo, wasting disk space and losing work on deletion
+
+## Proposed Solution
+
+Introduce **Workspaces** as first-class entities: persistent, writable local clones of a repository that exist independently of tool instances. Users create workspaces explicitly, then start tool instances *on* a workspace.
+
+### Entity Relationship
+
+```
+Project
+  └── GitRepository (canonical source)
+        └── Workspace (writable clone, unlimited per repo)
+              └── ToolInstance (mounts workspace path)
+```
+
+### Key Behaviors
+
+1. **Workspace Creation**: User selects a repository → picks a branch → names the workspace → clone is created on disk
+2. **Tool Instance Creation**: User selects a workspace → picks a tool type → instance starts with workspace mounted
+3. **Multiple Tools per Workspace**: Several tool instances can share the same workspace (e.g., terminal + code-server)
+4. **Persistence**: Workspaces survive tool instance deletion
+5. **No Auto-Create**: Users must explicitly create workspaces; no magic default workspace
+
+### UI Changes
+
+- **New sidebar entry**: "Workspaces" (between "Projects" and "Settings")
+- **Workspaces page**: List of all workspaces with repo/branch/status info
+- **Create workspace flow**: Repo picker → branch picker → name input
+- **Start tool from workspace**: Tool picker modal from workspace card
+- **Simplified tool creation**: Remove "clone mode" / "mount mode" toggle; always use workspace
+
+### Database Changes
+
+New table: `workspaces`
+- `id` (UUID, PK)
+- `name` (string, user-defined)
+- `repo_id` (UUID, FK → git_repositories)
+- `user_id` (UUID, FK → users)
+- `branch` (string)
+- `path` (string, absolute disk path)
+- `status` (enum: ready, syncing, error)
+- `created_at`, `updated_at`
+
+Updated: `tool_instances`
+- Add `workspace_id` (UUID, FK → workspaces, nullable for migration)
+- Remove `clone_mode` (deprecated)
+- Remove `branch` (moved to workspace)
+
+### File System Layout
+
+```
+/data/working-copies/
+  └── {repo-id}/
+        └── {workspace-name}/
+              └── .git/
+              └── [repo files]
+```
+
+### Migration Strategy
+
+Existing `clone_mode` instances:
+- Extract cloned repo from instance directory
+- Move to `/data/working-copies/{repo-id}/{instance-name}/`
+- Create Workspace record
+- Update instance to reference workspace
+- Remove `clone_mode` flag
+
+Existing `mount_mode` instances:
+- On next start, create a workspace from the canonical repo
+- Switch instance to use workspace
+- Remove `clone_mode` flag
+
+### Out of Scope
+
+- Auto-sync with canonical repo
+- Git push/pull/branch UI
+- Workspace sharing between users
+- Pre-created default workspaces
+- Read-only workspace mode
+
+## Risks
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| Existing users with many clone_mode instances | One-time migration on instance restart |
+| Disk space from many workspaces | User-managed; can delete workspaces |
+| Workspace deleted while instances are running | Allowed with confirmation; cascade-delete tool instances |
+| Name collisions for workspace names | Unique per project+repo; derived from project and repo names |
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] User can create a workspace from any repository
+- [ ] User can create unlimited workspaces per repository
+- [ ] Tool instances mount the workspace path, not the canonical repo path
+- [ ] Multiple tool instances can share one workspace
+- [ ] Workspaces persist after tool instance deletion
+- [ ] Existing clone_mode instances migrate to workspace on restart
+- [ ] UI no longer shows "mount vs clone" toggle
+- [ ] New sidebar navigation "Workspaces" exists

+## Open Questions for Spec
+
+1. ~~Should workspace deletion cascade-delete associated tool instances, or block?~~ **Answered**: Allowed with confirmation; cascade-delete tool instances
+2. ~~Should workspace names be unique per-repo or globally unique?~~ **Answered**: Unique per project+repo; derived from project and repo names
+3. ~~How do we handle the case where a workspace's branch is deleted from the remote?~~ **Answered**: On sync/update, detect and ask for confirmation to delete local workspace/branch
+4. Should we validate the repo path exists before creating a workspace?
