Workspaces: Part, Assembly, Drawing, Simulation, then add-ins

The workspace switcher now puts the four CAD workspaces first: Part, Assembly, Drawing and Simulation. Wiring, Teardown and Render move to an Add-ins group below. Each workspace loads only when you first open it, and the Agent tab works in every one.

After: The workspace switcher before (Canvas, Wiring, FEA, Teardown, Render) and after (Part, Assembly, Drawing, Simulation, then Add-ins: Wiring, Teardown, Render)

This is step N6 of the North Star plan. Part is the old Canvas workspace and Simulation the old FEA one. Their ids and shortcuts are unchanged, so ⌥1 and ⌥3 still work.

Assembly (⌥9) is new. It lists the components, shows each mate as met or not met, sums up the last interference check, and has Mate, Interference and Explode / Collapse in one place. Mating now opens Assembly.

Drawing (⌥0) is new. It drafts the one-pager, the deck or 3 to 10 sheets, reopens the last set, and draws the teardown illustration.

Each workspace panel is its own chunk, fetched the first time you open it, with a small loading state. The Agent panel stays mounted beside every workspace, so a reply in progress, its Stop button and the scroll position survive a switch.

Known limits: Part is the default workspace, so it still loads on first paint. Opening the Agent tab during a Simulation run stops the run, as before. While the drawing sheets are open they cover the sidebar.

Added
  • Assembly workspace (⌥9)
  • Drawing workspace (⌥0)
  • Add-ins group in the switcher
  • npm run test:workspaces
Improved
  • Workspace panels load on first open
  • The Agent tab works and keeps its state in every workspace
Try it

Open the switcher at the top left, pick Assembly, then open the Agent tab.
