This PR implements comprehensive multi-tab support for the SystemPortal, allowing users to open and work with multiple tags simultaneously in a professional tabbed interface. The implementation uses the dockview library to provide modern tab management with docking capabilities while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Key Features

Multi-Tab Interface: Users can now open multiple tags in separate tabs within the same SystemPortal. Tags can be opened in new tabs by right-clicking and selecting "Open in New Tab", or through the new test button for demonstration purposes.

Professional UI: Integration with dockview provides a modern, professional tabbed interface with drag-and-drop support and docking capabilities, similar to VS Code or other modern IDEs.

Smart Tab Management: The system prevents duplicate tabs by switching to existing tabs when the same bot/tag combination is selected. Tab state is properly managed with active tab tracking and cleanup on tab closure.

Primary Tab Synchronization: The first tab (or explicitly designated primary tab) remains synchronized with the existing systemPortalBot and systemPortalTag tags, ensuring backward compatibility with existing workflows and scripts.

Technical Implementation

The implementation extends the existing SystemPortal architecture across three key components:

  1. SystemPortalCoordinator - Added comprehensive tab management logic with new interfaces SystemPortalEditorTab and SystemPortalTabsUpdate, plus methods for creating, closing, and switching tabs.

  2. SystemPortal Vue Component - Enhanced with dockview container integration, conditional rendering for multi-tab vs single-editor modes, and context menu support.

  3. SystemPortal TypeScript - Added dockview initialization, tab rendering with detailed information display, and event handling for tab operations.

Backward Compatibility

Full backward compatibility is maintained:

  • All existing SystemPortalCoordinator tests continue to pass (89/89 ✅)
  • Single-editor workflows remain unchanged
  • Diff mode continues to use the existing single editor
  • Tag selection behavior is preserved
  • SystemPortalBot/Tag synchronization works as before

Usage

// Create a new tab programmatically
const tabId = appManager.systemPortal.createTab(simId, bot, 'tagName', 'space');

// Switch between tabs
appManager.systemPortal.setActiveTab(tabId);

// Set primary tab (syncs with systemPortalBot/Tag)
appManager.systemPortal.setPrimaryTab(tabId);

// Subscribe to tab changes
appManager.systemPortal.onTabsUpdated.subscribe(update => {
    console.log('Active tab:', update.activeTabId);
    console.log('Tab count:', update.tabs.length);
});

The implementation provides a solid foundation for future enhancements like real TagValueEditor integration within tabs, tab persistence, and advanced docking layouts.

Fixes #615.
