Make Mapping XAFS perspective prototype

[stan-dot]

would it be possible to send scanspec definitions to Malcolm?

there is some old code to send notifcations to the server over rmq

[stan-dot]

right now we have
in the mapping scans
gda gui parameters fill out forms with values -> the various ScanModel definitions with values are parsed inside gda server -> serialized into json -> sent to malcolm IOC where Python read it
I had a moment of clarity then
that if we want to get maximum testing time for a scanspec GUI
we could do
web gui for scanspec -> nodejs backend serializes into json and sends to -> blueapi service OR malcolm service
we'd get the benefit of running our scanspec gui for longer and more broadly

as we wouldn't need to depend on whether the blueapi is stable and whether X beamline has a cluster
this all hinges on the question - how hard is it to convert ScanSpec into malcolm json

where for example:

*           RandomOffsetMutator: {
*            seed: 10

we've got the code under RunScanForm.tsx https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/squid/blob/tmp_branch/apps/gda-scan-definition/app/run-scans/page.tsx

this is also good for rbac running the commands

[stan-dot]

should add a terminal for the familiar UX too https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js
