Modes: open apps, arrange windows and quiet distractions in one click

[alexandre-wayss]

Summary

A new Modes tab. A mode (e.g. "Studying") has:

• Apps and windows: the apps to open. Arrange their windows the way you like and press Use current window layout; Brisa remembers each window's position and size. An Open these apps button helps set it up.
• Sound and focus: an optional sound (scene, suggestion, saved mix or single sound, same picker as Routines) and an optional focus session.
• Distractions: apps to leave alone, hide or quit while the mode is on.
• When the mode ends: sounds and the focus timer always stop, and hidden apps come back. The mode's own apps are left open, minimized or quit, depending on the mode's setting.

Starting a mode opens any apps that aren't running, waits for their windows and moves them into place. The first app ends up in front. A saved placement is skipped if it would land on a display that isn't connected. Switching from one mode to another keeps the apps both modes use. Brisa and the Finder are never hidden, quit or minimized.

Where to start and end modes

• the Modes tab (Start / End mode on each card, with the active mode highlighted)
• the menu bar player (new "Mode" row)
• Routines: new actions "Start a mode" and "End the current mode"
• Shortcuts and Siri ("Start Studying in Brisa", "End Mode"), in signed builds only, like the other actions

Permissions: moving, reading and minimizing windows uses the Accessibility API, the same permission the interaction sounds already ask for. Without it, modes still open, hide and quit apps; minimize falls back to hiding the app. Full-screen windows and other Spaces can't be moved by apps.

How it was tested

• ./Scripts/test.sh: 57 passed, 11 of them new. They cover which distracting apps are handled, which apps are put away when a mode ends or switches, never touching Brisa or the Finder, conversion from screen coordinates to Accessibility coordinates, rejecting off-screen placements, saving modes, and the new routine actions.
• Rendered the Modes page, the editor and the menu bar to check the layout.
• ./Scripts/build.sh succeeds.
• Not yet tested against real windows: this environment doesn't have Accessibility access, so capturing and restoring windows needs a test in the installed app.
