Add real-time visibility into the parallel orchestrator's decisions
and state in the Mission Control UI. The orchestrator now has its
own avatar ("Maestro") and displays capacity/queue information.
Backend changes (server/websocket.py):
- Add OrchestratorTracker class that parses orchestrator stdout
- Define regex patterns for key orchestrator events (spawn, complete, capacity)
- Track coding/testing agent counts, ready queue, blocked features
- Emit orchestrator_update WebSocket messages
- Reset tracker state when agent stops or crashes
Frontend changes:
- Add OrchestratorState, OrchestratorStatus, OrchestratorEvent types
- Add WSOrchestratorUpdateMessage to WSMessage union
- Handle orchestrator_update in useWebSocket hook
- Create OrchestratorAvatar component (Maestro - robot conductor)
- Create OrchestratorStatusCard with capacity badges and event ticker
- Update AgentMissionControl to show orchestrator above agent cards
- Add conducting/baton-tap CSS animations for Maestro
The orchestrator status card shows:
- Maestro avatar with state-based animations
- Current orchestrator state and message
- Coding agents, testing agents, ready queue badges
- Blocked features count (when > 0)
- Collapsible recent events list

Changes:
- Add per-agent log viewer with copy-to-clipboard functionality
- New AgentLogEntry type for structured log entries
- Logs stored per-agent in WebSocket state (up to 500 entries)
- Log modal rendered via React Portal to avoid overflow issues
- Click log icon on agent card to view full activity history
- Fix agents getting stuck in "failed" state
- Wrap client context manager in try/except (agent.py)
- Remove failed agents from UI on error state (useWebSocket.ts)
- Handle permanently failed features in get_all_complete()
- Add friendlier agent state labels
- "Hit an issue" → "Trying plan B..."
- "Retrying..." → "Being persistent..."
- Softer colors (yellow/orange instead of red)
- Add scheduling scores for smarter feature ordering
- compute_scheduling_scores() in dependency_resolver.py
- Features that unblock others get higher priority
- Update CLAUDE.md with parallel mode documentation

Major feature implementation for parallel agent execution with dependency-aware
scheduling and an engaging multi-agent UI experience.
Backend Changes:
- Add parallel_orchestrator.py for concurrent feature processing
- Add api/dependency_resolver.py with cycle detection (Kahn's algorithm + DFS)
- Add atomic feature_claim_next() with retry limit and exponential backoff
- Fix circular dependency check arguments in 4 locations
- Add AgentTracker class for parsing agent output and emitting updates
- Add browser isolation with --isolated flag for Playwright MCP
- Extend WebSocket protocol with agent_update messages and log attribution
- Add WSAgentUpdateMessage schema with agent states and mascot names
- Fix WSProgressMessage to include in_progress field
New UI Components:
- AgentMissionControl: Dashboard showing active agents with collapsible activity
- AgentCard: Individual agent status with avatar and thought bubble
- AgentAvatar: SVG mascots (Spark, Fizz, Octo, Hoot, Buzz) with animations
- ActivityFeed: Recent activity stream with stable keys (no flickering)
- CelebrationOverlay: Confetti animation with click/Escape dismiss
- DependencyGraph: Interactive node graph visualization with dagre layout
- DependencyBadge: Visual indicator for feature dependencies
- ViewToggle: Switch between Kanban and Graph views
- KeyboardShortcutsHelp: Help overlay accessible via ? key
UI/UX Improvements:
- Celebration queue system to handle rapid success messages
- Accessibility attributes on AgentAvatar (role, aria-label, aria-live)
- Collapsible Recent Activity section with persisted preference
- Agent count display in header
- Keyboard shortcut G to toggle Kanban/Graph view
- Real-time thought bubbles and state animations
Bug Fixes:
- Fix circular dependency validation (swapped source/target arguments)
- Add MAX_CLAIM_RETRIES=10 to prevent stack overflow under contention
- Fix THOUGHT_PATTERNS to match actual [Tool: name] format
- Fix ActivityFeed key prop to prevent re-renders on new items
- Add featureId/agentIndex to log messages for proper attribution
