+/**
+ * Translate a spec `control_bar` array into the web-facing
+ * `ProviderControlDef[]` shape the dashboard renders.
+ *
+ * The two shapes are distinct: `control_bar` entries are daemon-side
+ * `{ id, label, visible_when_state, action }` records driving
+ * SpecCliAdapter.invokeScript, while the dashboard's chat bar reads
+ * `ProviderControlDef` (`{ id, type, label, placement, ... }`). Spec
+ * providers (claude-cli / codex-cli) historically declared *only*
+ * `control_bar`, so the dashboard saw no controls at all — the Model / Mode
+ * pickers never rendered. This bridges that gap without changing how the
+ * controls actually dispatch.
+ *
+ * Script-name contract: the dashboard sends the control's
+ * `listScript` / `setScript` / `invokeScript` name through
+ * `invoke_provider_script`, which gates on `provider.scripts[<name>]` and then
+ * routes to `SpecCliAdapter.invokeScript(<name>)` — which matches the name
+ * against `control_bar[].id`. So every synthesized script name MUST equal the
+ * control id (the loader stubs `provider.scripts[id]` from the same source).
+ *
+ * Mapping:
+ *   open_picker  → select (dynamic): list + set both keyed on the control id;
+ *                  the adapter distinguishes LIST vs SELECT by the presence of
+ *                  a choice arg, so one id serves both roles.
+ *   send_keys    → action: one-shot keystroke (stop, cycle_mode).
+ *   attach_image → skipped: it needs an image blob from a file picker, not a
+ *                  bare bar button; surfacing it as an `action` would only
+ *                  produce a button that errors with "requires args.blob".
