Plan 08 — Electron shell skeleton

[carlomigueldy]

Plan file: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-23-plan-08-electron-shell-skeleton.md
Tag at close: v0.0.8-plan-08
Depends on: Plan 03 (daemon + ipc-client)

Goal

Stand up the dycode.app Electron shell that spawns the daemon as a sidecar, talks to it over the daemon's IPC, and renders the empty Control Room chrome (window layout, Sidebar, Tabs, Resizable drawers, command palette stub). No domain UI yet — that arrives in Plans 09+.

Deliverable

• apps/dycode package — Vite + React 19 + shadcn UI + Tailwind v4.
• packages/ui package — shared shadcn primitives + oklch theme tokens.
• Electron main + preload + sidecar spawn (reads ~/.dycode/runtime.json).
• Shell layout, command palette stub, theme toggle.
• Playwright smoke test in CI.
• F45–F52.

Out of scope (deferred to later plans)

• Fleet content → Plan 09
• Tasks tab → Plan 12
• Activity + Replay tabs → Plan 13
• Settings + Adapters tab → Plan 14
• Editor / terminal panes → out of scope until v1.1

Workflow

• Branch from main via superpowers:using-git-worktrees: feat/plan-08-electron-shell-skeleton.
• One PR closes this issue — include Closes #<this issue's number> in the PR description.
• Update docs/superpowers/plans/README.md to move this plan from "not started" to "shipped" in the same PR.
• Final step is the close-out commit and git tag v0.0.8-plan-08.
• All 5 quality gates apply (CONTRIBUTING.md).
