What to implement

When the Workshop/chat panel opens or becomes visible, the text input field should automatically receive focus so the user can start typing immediately.

Files likely needing changes

  • src/components/Workshop.jsx or src/components/Chat.jsx — add useRef + useEffect to focus input on mount/visibility change

Acceptance criteria

  • Opening the Workshop panel puts cursor in the chat input
  • User can immediately type without clicking
  • Focus does not steal from other inputs if user is typing elsewhere
  • Works on re-open (not just first open)

Matrix UI polish. Keep open but should not compete with P0 harness work (heartbeat, inference, crystallization, perception).
