Fixes #344

Summary

On a fresh clone, pnpm web:dev runs every predev step but never generates .runtime/generated/creator-presets/catalog.json / manifest.json, so the Vite plugin's buildStart check (assertStaticBuildInput in apps/web/vite.config.ts) aborts with "Run pnpm templates:compile before building Web". Desktop already runs templates:compile in apps/desktop/scripts/prepare-daemon.mjs; the Web predev was the only entry point missing it.

This appends pnpm -w templates:compile (the existing root script) to the end of apps/web predev. The compiler runs from source via tsx, so it doesn't need a prior daemon build.

Change risk level

• P0 — Low risk: copy, style tweaks, defaults, local display conditions, test assertions. No Runtime/API/persistence contract changes.
• P1 — Medium risk: shared state, business logic, persistence, cross-component interaction, Runtime request parameters, shared components.
• P2 — High risk: Daemon/Runtime, protocol, database migration, process management, service configuration, build/packaging, release pipeline, or Web/Desktop parity changes.

Verification

• Targeted checks for the changed files / closest tests
• pnpm typecheck for affected packages (TypeScript changes)
• Module tests for affected areas (P1+)
• Production build (only when touching compile boundaries, lazy loading, assets, or build config)
• Service restart + health check (P2 daemon/runtime changes)
• Web/Desktop parity checks (shared UI, Bridge, or packaging changes)

Actually ran:

• A small harness in node:22 with pnpm 9.15.0 ran the real apps/web predev string, stubbing the unrelated Desktop runtime prep and package builds, with OPENCREATOR_PRESET_CATALOG_ROOT pointed at an empty temp dir and no packages/protocol/dist present. On master it ends without a catalog.json. With this change templates:compile runs ("Compiled creator presets: catalog=…") and writes valid catalog.json and manifest.json.

Intentionally skipped, and why:

• Full pnpm web:dev boot and the Desktop runtime prep steps: the change only appends one existing command to the end of the script.
• Typecheck: no TypeScript changes.

Web / Desktop parity

• This change does not affect Web/Desktop parity
• General capability implemented once in shared Web/Daemon code (no per-bridge forks)
• Platform-specific entries are hidden when the capability is unavailable (no silent no-op buttons)
• The same flow was checked on the other platform, not only the one where the issue was reported

Checklist

• Focused change — no unrelated refactors or fixes mixed in
• Docs updated in the same PR if user-visible behavior changed
• No .runtime/, credentials, Codex sessions, build caches, or user data committed
