Auto-Pin: automatically pin new workspaces, with rules for each project

[stv1024]

I built Auto-Pin to save the manual pinning step when starting new Paseo workspaces.

Create a workspace and it appears in Pinned automatically. For different projects, choose Follow default, Always, or Never: keep everyday work at the top while leaving experiments unpinned.

Install on the machine running your Paseo daemon:

paseo plugin install npm:paseo-auto-pin@0.4.0

Open Auto-Pin in the sidebar to set the default and project rules. Auto-pin is enabled by default; projects follow that default until you override them.

• Runs on the daemon, even with the panel closed.
• Covers new workspaces, including Git worktrees.
• Preserves existing pins; restoring archived workspaces does not pin them again.
• Shares saved rules across clients connected to the same daemon.

Requires Paseo 0.9.1–0.9.x and Node.js/npm. It uses the internal daemon client for pinning, so compatibility with future Paseo versions needs rechecking. Verified on Windows against Paseo 0.9.1 with 36 regression tests and fresh Git/npm installation checks.

If you try it, which projects would you set to Always or Never? Workflow feedback and bug reports are welcome.
