## Description

webpack-dashboard is a terminal-based build monitor and asset viewer designed for the Webpack development process. It provides a command line interface to track compilation status, monitor development server activity, and organize build errors for debugging.

The tool integrates as a Webpack plugin to intercept compilation events and extract asset metadata. It utilizes a terminal-UI layout engine and state-driven rendering to display build progress and logs in a structured grid of dynamic windows.

The system includes capabilities for real-time build log visualization and asset filtering using regular expressions. Users can customize the dashboard appearance, including colors, window titles, and display modes, to focus on specific assets and critical logs.
