mmereu 245cc5b7ad feat: add "Create Spec" button and fix Windows asyncio subprocess
UI Changes:
- Add "Create Spec with AI" button in empty kanban when project has no spec
- Button opens SpecCreationChat to guide users through spec creation
- Shows in Pending column when has_spec=false and no features exist

Windows Fixes:
- Fix asyncio subprocess NotImplementedError on Windows
- Set WindowsProactorEventLoopPolicy in server/__init__.py
- Remove --reload from uvicorn (incompatible with Windows subprocess)
- Add process cleanup on startup in start_ui.bat

Spec Chat Improvements:
- Enable full tool access (remove allowed_tools restriction)
- Add "user" to setting_sources for global skills access
- Use bypassPermissions mode for auto-approval
- Add WebFetch/WebSearch auto-approve hook

AutoCoder UI Launcher
=====================
Automated launcher that handles all setup:
1. Creates/activates Python virtual environment
2. Installs Python dependencies
3. Checks for Node.js
4. Installs npm dependencies
5. Builds React frontend (if needed)
6. Starts FastAPI server
7. Opens browser to the UI
Usage:
python start_ui.py [--dev]
Options:
--dev Run in development mode with Vite hot reload
