feat: workspace-first UI refresh - PR-3 projects page + routing cleanup

- Rewrite ProjectsPage with inline repository and workspace display
- Expandable project cards showing repos + workspace chips
- Inline workspace creation from project page (New Workspace button per repo)
- Workspace chips link to workspace detail page
- Sync/delete actions on workspace chips
- Update Project type: add ProjectWithRepos, RepositorySummary, WorkspaceSummary
- Update listProjects API to return ProjectWithRepos[]
- Update dashboard, sessions, config-profiles to use ProjectWithRepos
- Remove old /projects/:projectId route (RepoWorkspace)
- Add chevron icons to Icon component
- Projects page CSS: project-toggle, repo-block, workspace-grid, workspace-chip
- TypeScript + eslint clean

Quality gates: tsc --noEmit clean, eslint clean

+# 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.
+

+
+### Hook: useWorkspaceActions
+
+```typescript

+      if (error.response?.status === 409 && error.response.data?.detail?.branch_deleted) {
+        const confirmed = confirm(
+          `${error.response.data.detail.message}\n\nDelete this workspace?`
+        );
+        if (confirmed) {
+          await handleDelete(workspace, true);
+        }
+      }
+    } finally {

+    }
+  }, [options.onRefresh, handleDelete]);
+
+  return { loadingId, handleDelete, handleSync };
+}
+```
+
+## 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?

+# Spec: Workspace-Based Tool Instances
+
+## Status
+
+| Field | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Phase | **Spec** |
+| Based on | [Proposal](proposal.md) |
+| Next | Design |
+
+## Overview
+
+Workspaces are persistent, writable local clones of Git repositories. Users create workspaces explicitly, then start tool instances on them. This replaces the current "mount vs clone" decision with a simple "pick a workspace" flow.
+
+## Decisions
+
+| Decision | Value |
+|---|---|
+| **Name** | "Workspace" |
+| **Scope** | Unlimited per repository |
+| **Auto-create** | No — explicit creation only |
+| **Delete with 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 |
+
+## Database Schema
+
+### New Table: `workspaces`
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE workspaces (
+    id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+    name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
+    repo_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES git_repositories(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    user_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    branch VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'main',
+    path VARCHAR(2048) NOT NULL,
+    status VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'ready',
+    last_sync_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,
+    created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT now(),
+    updated_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT now(),
+    
+    UNIQUE (repo_id, name)
+);
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_workspaces_repo_id ON workspaces(repo_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_workspaces_user_id ON workspaces(user_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_workspaces_status ON workspaces(status);
+```
+
+### Updated Table: `tool_instances`
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE tool_instances
+    ADD COLUMN workspace_id UUID REFERENCES workspaces(id) ON DELETE SET NULL,
+    ADD COLUMN clone_mode VARCHAR(16); -- deprecated, nullable for migration
+
+-- Drop existing clone_mode column after all instances are migrated
+-- ALTER TABLE tool_instances DROP COLUMN clone_mode;
+```
+
+Note: `tool_instances.branch` remains for now but is deprecated; the canonical branch lives on the workspace.
+
+## Backend API
+
+### Workspaces API
+
+```
+GET   /projects/{project_id}/repositories/{repo_id}/workspaces
+      → List workspaces for a repository
+
+POST  /projects/{project_id}/repositories/{repo_id}/workspaces
+      → Create a new workspace
+      Body: { name: string, branch: string }
+
+GET   /projects/{project_id}/repositories/{repo_id}/workspaces/{workspace_id}
+      → Get workspace details
+
+PATCH /projects/{project_id}/repositories/{repo_id}/workspaces/{workspace_id}
+      → Update workspace (rename, change branch)
+      Body: { name?: string, branch?: string }
+
+DELETE /projects/{project_id}/repositories/{repo_id}/workspaces/{workspace_id}
+      → Delete workspace (with ?force=true to skip confirmation)
+      → Stops and deletes all associated tool instances
+
+POST  /projects/{project_id}/repositories/{repo_id}/workspaces/{workspace_id}/sync
+      → Sync workspace with remote (detect deleted branches)
+```
+
+### Tool Instances API (Updated)
+
+```
+POST  /projects/{project_id}/repositories/{repo_id}/instances
+      Body: { tool_type_id, workspace_id, display_name?, config_profile_id? }
+      → Create instance on workspace
+
+POST  /projects/{project_id}/repositories/{repo_id}/instances/{instance_id}/start
+      → Start instance (creates workspace if mount_mode, migrates if clone_mode)
+```
+
+### Instance Start Logic
+
+```python
+def start_instance(instance, workspace_id=None):
+    if instance.clone_mode == "clone":
+        # Migrate: extract clone to workspace
+        workspace = migrate_clone_to_workspace(instance)
+        instance.workspace_id = workspace.id
+        instance.clone_mode = None
+    elif instance.workspace_id:
+        # Already using a workspace
+        workspace = get_workspace(instance.workspace_id)
+    else:
+        # Legacy mount_mode: create workspace on first start
+        workspace = create_workspace_from_repo(instance.repo)
+        instance.workspace_id = workspace.id
+    
+    # Mount workspace path into container
+    mount_path = workspace.path
+    # ... rest of start logic
+```
+
+## Frontend Routes
+
+```
+/workspaces                    → Workspaces list page
+/workspaces/new                → Create workspace flow
+/workspaces/{id}               → Workspace detail page
+/workspaces/{id}/tools         → Start tool on workspace
+```
+
+## UI Components
+
+### Sidebar Navigation
+
+```
+Projects
+  └── [project list]
+Workspaces (NEW)
+  └── All Workspaces
+  └── [recent workspaces]
+Settings
+```
+
+### Workspaces Page
+
+- Grid/list of workspace cards
+- Each card shows: name, repo, branch, status, active instances count
+- Actions: Start Tool, Sync, Settings, Delete
+
+### Create Workspace Flow
+
+1. **Repo picker**: Select from existing repositories
+2. **Branch picker**: Select branch (default: repo's default branch)
+3. **Name input**: Auto-suggested as `{project-name}-{repo-name}-{branch}` but editable
+4. **Create**: Clone repo to `/data/working-copies/{repo-id}/{name}/`
+
+### Start Tool from Workspace
+
+1. **Tool picker**: Select tool type
+2. **Config**: Optional config profile
+3. **Create**: Instance created with workspace mounted
+
+## File System Layout
+
+```
+/data/working-copies/
+  └── {repo-id}/
+        └── {workspace-name}/
+              └── .git/
+              └── [repo files]
+```
+
+## Workspace Lifecycle
+
+### Creation
+
+1. Validate name uniqueness per repo
+2. Clone repo: `git clone --branch {branch} {remote_url} {path}`
+3. Set status to `ready`
+4. Return workspace record
+
+### Deletion
+
+1. Check for running tool instances
+2. If instances exist and no `?force=true`:
+   - Return 409 Conflict with `{ instances: [...] }`
+   - Frontend shows confirmation dialog
+3. If confirmed:
+   - Stop all associated instances
+   - Delete all associated instances
+   - Delete workspace directory
+   - Delete workspace record
+
+### Sync
+
+1. Fetch from remote: `git fetch origin`
+2. Check if workspace branch still exists on remote
+3. If branch deleted:
+   - Return 409 with `{ branch_deleted: true }`
+   - Frontend asks: "Branch '{branch}' was deleted. Delete this workspace?"
+4. If branch exists:
+   - Pull changes: `git pull origin {branch}`
+   - Update `last_sync_at`
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+### Existing clone_mode Instances
+
+```python
+def migrate_clone_to_workspace(instance):
+    # Find the cloned repo inside the instance directory
+    clone_path = find_clone_in_instance_dir(instance)
+    
+    # Create workspace
+    workspace = Workspace(
+        name=f"{instance.name}-migrated",
+        repo_id=instance.repository_id,
+        user_id=instance.owner_id,
+        branch=instance.branch or "main",
+        path=f"/data/working-copies/{instance.repository_id}/{instance.name}-migrated",
+    )
+    
+    # Move clone to workspace path
+    move(clone_path, workspace.path)
+    
+    return workspace
+```
+
+### Existing mount_mode Instances
+
+On first start after deployment:
+1. Create workspace from canonical repo
+2. Update instance to use workspace
+3. Remove clone_mode flag
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Database migration creates `workspaces` table
+- [ ] Database migration adds `workspace_id` to `tool_instances`
+- [ ] API endpoints for CRUD operations on workspaces
+- [ ] Workspace creation clones repo to `/data/working-copies/...`
+- [ ] Workspace deletion stops and deletes associated tool instances
+- [ ] Workspace sync detects deleted branches and asks for confirmation
+- [ ] Tool instance creation accepts `workspace_id` instead of `clone_mode`
+- [ ] Tool instance start mounts workspace path into container
+- [ ] Frontend has "Workspaces" sidebar entry
+- [ ] Frontend workspaces list page
+- [ ] Frontend create workspace flow
+- [ ] Frontend start tool from workspace
+- [ ] Existing clone_mode instances migrate on restart
+- [ ] Existing mount_mode instances create workspace on restart
+
+## Quality Gates
+
+- [ ] Backend tests: workspace CRUD, sync, deletion with instances
+- [ ] Frontend tests: workspace list, create, start tool
+- [ ] Integration tests: instance creation with workspace
+- [ ] ruff clean
+- [ ] TypeScript compilation clean

+# Proposal: Workspace-First UI Refresh
+
+## Status
+
+| Field | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Phase | **Proposal** |
+| Based on | [Working Copies Spec](../working-copies/spec.md) |
+| Next | Spec |
+
+## Problem
+
+The current UI has two competing "workspace" concepts:
+
+1. **Old "Repository Workspace"** (`repo-workspace.tsx`): A file browser + editor + git toolbar view tied to a repository. This was the default view when opening a project. It reads files from the repo path directly and offers quick editing.
+2. **New "Workspace"** (`workspaces.tsx`): A list of persistent writable clones that tool instances mount. These are first-class entities with their own lifecycle.
+
+These two concepts confuse users. The old workspace is redundant now that workspaces are persistent clones — users should work inside a workspace, not directly on the repo.
+
+Additionally:
+- The Projects page only shows a list of projects with "Open Workspace" links — no visibility into repos or workspaces
+- Tool instances are spawned from the repo-workspace view, not from the workspace view
+- Mobile layout of the old workspace is cramped and not well-suited for the new paradigm
+
+## Solution
+
+Replace the old "Repository Workspace" with a **Workspace-First** navigation model:
+
+### New Information Architecture
+
+```
+Projects
+  └── Project Card (inline repos + workspaces)
+        └── Repo: "my-app"
+              ├── Workspace: "main" → /workspaces/{id}
+              ├── Workspace: "feature-auth" → /workspaces/{id}
+              └── [+ New Workspace]
+Workspaces
+  └── All Workspaces (grid/list)
+        └── Workspace Card → /workspaces/{id}
+```
+
+### Workspace Detail Page (`/workspaces/:workspaceId`)
+
+The workspace detail page is the primary work surface. It replaces the old repo-workspace:
+
+```
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  {project} / {repo} / {workspace-name}     [Start Tool ▼]   │
+├──────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│              │  Tabs: [Files] [Git] [Tools]                  │
+│  File Tree   ├───────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  (workspace  │                                               │
+│   clone)     │  {active tab content}                         │
+│              │                                               │
+│  📁 src/     │                                               │
+│  📄 README   │                                               │
+│              │                                               │
+├──────────────┤                                               │
+│  Git Status  │                                               │
+│  (compact)   │                                               │
+└──────────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Panels (collapsible, IDE-style):**
+- **Files**: File tree from workspace clone path + file viewer/editor
+- **Git**: Commit panel, branch selector, push/pull/fetch actions (operating on workspace clone)
+- **Tools**: List of active tool instances on this workspace + spawn new tool
+
+**Start Tool**: Inline modal (not page navigation) to spawn a tool instance on this workspace.
+
+### Projects Page Refresh
+
+Project cards now show:
+- Project name + description
+- Repositories (accordion/list)
+- For each repo: its workspaces as clickable chips/cards
+- "New Workspace" button per repo
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ My Project                                  │
+│ A web application                            │

+│   └─────────┘                               │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### Mobile Layout
+
+Bottom tab bar (4 tabs):
+- **Files**: Full-screen file tree + viewer
+- **Git**: Compact commit panel + action buttons
+- **Tools**: Instance list + spawn button
+- **Menu**: Workspace switcher, settings
+
+Swipe between tabs. File tree is always accessible.
+
+### Deleted
+
+- `pages/repo-workspace.tsx` — old repository workspace (file browser + editor on repo path)
+- Route `/projects/:projectId` → now shows project detail, not file browser
+- Old workspace header component
+- Git toolbar component (replaced by panel in workspace detail)
+
+## Scope
+
+### In Scope
+
+- [ ] New workspace detail page (`/workspaces/:workspaceId`)
+- [ ] File browser reading from workspace clone path
+- [ ] File viewer/editor for workspace files
+- [ ] Git operations on workspace clone (status, commit, push, pull, fetch, branch)
+- [ ] Tool instance list per workspace
+- [ ] Inline tool spawn modal
+- [ ] Collapsible IDE-style panels (desktop)
+- [ ] Bottom tab bar layout (mobile)
+- [ ] Projects page refresh (inline repos + workspaces)
+- [ ] Workspace list page improvements (link to detail page)
+- [ ] Backend: file endpoints for workspace path
+- [ ] Backend: git endpoints for workspace path
+- [ ] Delete old `repo-workspace.tsx` and related components
+- [ ] Update routing
+
+### Out of Scope
+
+- Git history / diff view (deferred, can reuse existing page)
+- Workspace sharing between users
+- Advanced IDE features (search, multi-file edit)
+- Auto-sync on schedule
+- Terminal integration inside workspace page
+
+## Decisions
+
+| # | Question | Answer |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | Projects page → what happens on "Open"? | **A** — Show project detail with repos + workspaces inline |
+| 2 | Workspace page layout? | **C** — Collapsible panels, IDE-style |
+| 3 | File browser source? | Workspace clone path (`/data/working-copies/{repo-id}/{name}/`) |
+| 4 | Git actions scope? | Workspace clone |
+| 5 | Tool spawning? | Inline modal on workspace page |
+| 6 | Mobile layout? | Bottom tab bar (Files / Git / Tools / Menu), swipeable |
+| 7 | Old workspace fallback? | **No fallback** — delete immediately |
+| 8 | Projects page detail level? | Inline workspace cards on project page |
+
+## Open Questions for Spec
+
+1. Should the workspace detail page URL be `/workspaces/:id` or nested under project/repo?
+2. Should we keep the sidebar Workspaces nav entry, or rely on Projects → Workspace flow?
+3. How does "New Workspace" flow work from Projects page — inline form or navigate to create page?
+4. Should workspace detail show repo remote URL and allow switching branches?
+5. What happens when a workspace has no tool instances yet — show empty state or prompt to spawn?
+
+## Risks
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|---|---|
+| Users confused by navigation change | Keep "Workspaces" in sidebar, add breadcrumbs |
+| Large frontend refactor | Break into 3 PRs: backend endpoints, workspace detail page, projects refresh |
+| Mobile layout complexity | Prototype with CSS grid first, test on actual device |
+| Git operations on workspace path | Reuse existing git service, just change the path argument |
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Old `repo-workspace.tsx` is deleted
+- [ ] `/projects/:id` shows project detail with repos and workspaces
+- [ ] `/workspaces/:id` shows workspace detail with Files, Git, Tools panels
+- [ ] File browser reads from workspace clone path
+- [ ] Git commit/push/pull work on workspace clone
+- [ ] Tool spawn modal creates instance with workspace mounted
+- [ ] Mobile layout uses bottom tabs
+- [ ] All existing tests pass (or updated)
+- [ ] ruff clean, TypeScript clean, eslint clean

+Replace the old "Repository Workspace" (direct repo file browser) with a **Workspace-First** model. The workspace detail page becomes the primary work surface. Projects page shows inline repos + workspaces. Old `repo-workspace.tsx` is deleted.
+
+## Decisions
+
+| # | Question | Answer |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | URL structure | `/workspaces/:id` (flat) |
+| 2 | Sidebar nav order | Workspaces → Projects |
+| 3 | New Workspace flow | Inline form on project page |
+| 4 | Branch switching | Dropdown in workspace header |
+| 5 | Empty tool state | "Start a tool" prompt card |
+| 6 | Mobile tabs | Files / Git / Tools / Settings |
+| 7 | Git toolbar | Collapsible top bar on Files tab |
+| 8 | Git tab content | History, diff, full commit log |
+
+## User Flows
+
+### Flow 1: Open a Project
+
+1. User clicks "Projects" in sidebar
+2. Sees project cards with inline repositories
+3. Each repo shows its workspaces as clickable cards
+4. User clicks a workspace → navigates to `/workspaces/:id`
+
+### Flow 2: Work in a Workspace
+
+1. User is on `/workspaces/:id`
+2. **Files tab** (default): File tree (left) + file viewer/editor (right). Git toolbar at top.
+3. User edits a file, commits via git toolbar
+4. **Git tab**: Full history, diff view, detailed commit log
+5. **Tools tab**: See running instances, click "Start Tool" → inline modal
+6. **Settings tab**: Sync workspace, rename, delete
+
+### Flow 3: Create a Workspace
+
+1. User on Projects page, expands a repo
+2. Clicks "+ New Workspace" next to a repo
+3. Inline form appears: name input, branch dropdown
+4. Submits → workspace created, appears in list
+
+### Flow 4: Start a Tool
+
+1. User on workspace detail, Tools tab
+2. If no instances: "Start a tool on this workspace" card
+3. If instances: list of cards + "Start Another" button
+4. Click → inline modal: tool type picker, config profile (optional)
+5. Submit → instance created, appears in list with status
+
+## Backend API
+
+### New Endpoints (workspace-scoped)
+
+All endpoints operate on the workspace clone path (`workspace.path`).
+
+```
+# Files
+GET    /workspaces/{workspace_id}/files?path=&branch=
+       → List directory entries
+GET    /workspaces/{workspace_id}/files/content?path=&branch=
+       → Get file content
+POST   /workspaces/{workspace_id}/files/content
+       Body: { path, content, message }
+       → Commit file change
+
+# Git
+GET    /workspaces/{workspace_id}/git/status
+       → { modified, added, deleted, untracked, branch }
+GET    /workspaces/{workspace_id}/git/branches
+       → { branches, default_branch, current_branch }
+POST   /workspaces/{workspace_id}/git/commit
+       Body: { message, files? }
+       → Commit staged changes
+POST   /workspaces/{workspace_id}/git/push
+       → Push current branch
+POST   /workspaces/{workspace_id}/git/pull
+       → Pull current branch
+POST   /workspaces/{workspace_id}/git/fetch
+       → Fetch from origin
+POST   /workspaces/{workspace_id}/git/checkout
+       Body: { branch }
+       → Switch branch
+GET    /workspaces/{workspace_id}/git/history
+       Query: ?path=&limit=50
+       → Commit history for file or entire repo
+
+# Tools (instances on this workspace)
+GET    /workspaces/{workspace_id}/instances
+       → List tool instances using this workspace
+POST   /workspaces/{workspace_id}/instances
+       Body: { tool_type_id, display_name?, config_profile_id? }
+       → Create instance on this workspace
+```
+
+### Existing Endpoints (unchanged)
+
+```
+GET    /workspaces/
+POST   /workspaces/ (body: { repo_id, name, branch })
+DELETE /workspaces/{id}
+POST   /workspaces/{id}/sync
+PATCH  /workspaces/{id}
+```
+
+Note: `POST /workspaces/` now accepts `repo_id` directly instead of nested under `/projects/{pid}/repositories/{rid}/workspaces`.
+
+### Modified Endpoints
+
+```
+GET /projects/
+    → Now includes `repositories` array with `workspaces` sub-array
+```
+
+## Database Schema
+
+No changes. Existing `workspaces` table is sufficient.
+
+## Frontend Routes
+
+```
+/                     → Dashboard (unchanged)
+/workspaces           → All workspaces list (refreshed)
+/workspaces/:id       → Workspace detail (NEW, replaces repo-workspace)
+/projects             → Projects list (refreshed)
+/projects/:id         → Project detail with repos + workspaces (NEW)
+/sessions             → Sessions list (unchanged)
+/settings             → Settings (unchanged)
+```
+

+
+## State & Data Flow
+
+### Workspace Detail Page
+
+```
+useWorkspace(workspaceId) → fetch /workspaces/{id}
+useWorkspaceFiles(workspaceId, path?, branch?) → fetch /workspaces/{id}/files
+useWorkspaceGitStatus(workspaceId) → fetch /workspaces/{id}/git/status
+useWorkspaceInstances(workspaceId) → fetch /workspaces/{id}/instances
+```
+
+All hooks poll/refetch on:
+- Tab switch
+- User action (commit, push, etc.)
+- 30s background refresh
+
+### Projects Page
+
+```
+useProjects() → fetch /projects/
+useProjectWorkspaces(projectId) → derived from project.repositories.workspaces
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+| Scenario | UX |
+|---|---|
+| Workspace not found | 404 page with "Workspace not found" + link to workspaces |
+| Git operation fails | Toast with git stderr, retry button |
+| File read fails | "File not found" in viewer, check if on correct branch |
+| No tool types available | "No tools configured" + link to Tool Workshop |
+| Workspace path missing | "Workspace files not found — try syncing" |
+
+## Accessibility
+
+- Tab bar: `role="tablist"`, keyboard arrow navigation
+- File tree: `role="tree"`, arrow key expansion
+- Git toolbar: All buttons have `aria-label`
+- Focus management: Modal traps focus, returns on close
+
+## Performance
+
+- File tree: Virtualized for repos > 1000 files
+- Git history: Paginated (50 commits per page)
+- Image files: Lazy loaded in viewer
+- Polling: 30s for instances, 10s for git status when visible
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] `repo-workspace.tsx` and related components deleted
+- [ ] `/projects/:id` route shows project detail, not file browser
+- [ ] `/workspaces/:id` route shows workspace detail page
+- [ ] File browser reads from workspace clone path
+- [ ] File viewer/editor works on workspace files
+- [ ] Git toolbar on Files tab supports commit/push/pull/fetch
+- [ ] Git tab shows commit history with diff
+- [ ] Tools tab lists instances + spawn modal
+- [ ] Settings tab shows workspace info + rename/sync/delete
+- [ ] Projects page shows inline repos + workspace cards
+- [ ] Inline "New Workspace" form on project page
+- [ ] Mobile: 4-tab bottom navigation
+- [ ] All existing tests pass or updated
+- [ ] ruff clean, TypeScript clean, eslint clean
