adminandClaude Opus 5 25ec7879a0 Several transitions between the same pair of states: make transition onto a state that is already connected in that direction adds another transition, which gets its own name right away (Transition 2, Transition 3, skipping names that already leave the state), so two unnamed transitions between one pair never exist; renaming is refused when another transition between the same pair in the same direction already carries the name, the empty name included, while equal names to other targets are only warned about as before; the behavior graph keeps Already connected; self transitions may repeat too, each further loop drawn as a ring around the previous one with the preview showing the next ring, and transition labels that would cover another one slide along their own edge until they are free (pure function freeLabelSpot); test hook transitionLabelAt also returns width and height, e2e 26e6 (#162)

adminandClaude Opus 5 cc285af10a Tabs are open documents: Scene, Game and Plugins stay as fixed tabs, every other asset opens in its own tab (double click or Enter in the asset panel, on creation, from the list button), several assets of one kind can be open at once, a tab is labelled with its kind dimmed before the name, cut at 160 px and renamed with its asset, closes with its x or a middle click and goes away when its asset is deleted; a tab always shows its own document instead of following the selection, the picker in the tab head is gone, zoom and scroll are kept per document for the session and dropped on close, a double click on a call node stays in the same tab with breadcrumbs per tab; one editor per kind is switched between documents, the placement rules live in the pure module documents.ts, and the test hook showTab stays as a compatibility path; new e2e module 44 documents (#171)

game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 2m22s
game-maker / gate (push) Successful in 2m53s
Refactoring round two: the particle and shader compilers share emitGraph.ts (cycle detection,
duplicate names, emit order) and keep only their rules. FontLibrary and TextureLibrary sit on
FileLibrary (base URL, loading/failed bookkeeping, listeners); SoundLibrary keeps its own
contract. The three Create*Command share ImportFileCommand, the three renames share
RenameCommand - class names stay. bandBounds() in framing.ts and portNameField() in
portSection.ts replace in-file clones, and three comments that told history now state the rule.

adminandClaude Opus 5 36ccc7626f A box drawn around a part of the graph is part of it, so a fit frames it and a band catches it (#95)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 6m22s
Fit measured the nodes alone: a group drawn around them was cut off, and a graph holding nothing
but a comment framed the empty origin. It now frames both sorts together.

The rubber band ignored boxes entirely. It catches them now, into the *same* selection as the
nodes — `nodeIds` and `annotationIds` side by side — so one drag moves all of it, one Delete
removes all of it, and one undo takes it back. A box counts only when the band holds all of it,
where a node counts on touching: a group wraps the nodes it holds and therefore overlaps every
band drawn over any of them, and since it drags those nodes along, catching it by accident would
be felt at once.

A node inside a selected group is moved once, not twice — `travellers()` collects everything one
gesture carries and lets each thing appear in it a single time.

adminandClaude Opus 5 b9f1a9d319 A graph that grew past one screen needs somewhere to say what a part of it is for (#38)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 6m13s
The graph could hold any number of nodes and said nothing about which of them
belonged together. Groups and comments are two separate things, as decided in
the issue: a group is a titled box that carries the nodes it encloses, a
comment is free text that carries nothing.

Both live as optional arrays on Graph, not as registry nodes. A comment that
were a real node would run through the interpreter, show up in the drop
palettes and be compiled into a shader — the wrong place for a piece of text.
As arrays on Graph they exist in all four graph kinds at once, and a document
without them means exactly "no groups", so no format bump.

Membership is computed when the box is grabbed, never stored: the center of a
node inside the box travels with it, and a node dragged out is simply out. A
box inside a box travels with the outer one, its own nodes included. A group
is grabbed by its title bar only — its body stays transparent to the pointer,
or a rubber band could never be drawn across the nodes it holds. Deleting a
box deletes the box; the nodes stay where they are, because a box that
silently took ten nodes with it would be the most expensive surprise in the
feature.

The color is a free picker, and the title color follows from it: relative
luminance per WCAG, threshold at 0.179 where the two contrast ratios meet —
not 0.5, which would pick white on mid grey where black reads better.

Resizing snaps the far edge to the grid, not the width, so the corner that is
not being dragged stays put. The minimum size rises in whole steps for that
reason: 80 is no multiple of 24, so a box squeezed to the stop would have sat
off-grid in exactly the mode meant to keep it on.

adminandClaude Opus 5 3b039384c4 A search that ignores what a thing is called is no search, so the name wins (#43)
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 10m23s
Typing "variable" into the node palette landed on `Run behavior`, because the
filter weighed label, type and description alike and then sorted by category.
`searchRank` in `src/ui/search.ts` now ranks a match: exact label or type, then
prefix, then label, then type, and only last a hit that lives in the
description alone. Category and alphabet order within a rank. The searchable
`Menu` uses the same function, so searching means the same thing everywhere.

The `+` menu grew to fifteen entries in declaration order. It is built in two
alphabetical groups now -- the types that go into a scene, then the ones that
stay in the library -- with a separator between them, the split `isPlaceableType`
already draws. `ASSET_TYPES` itself stays untouched: it is also the
serialisation and check order. A search flattens the groups and drops the lines.

Popups were capped at fixed heights (320 menu, 260 palette, 340 pickers) while
the canvas had room to spare. `Popup.roomFor()` measures its own chrome and
takes the window height minus a tenth at each end. Placement clamps
asymmetrically: the bottom margin is enforced, the top is only a budget, so a
menu anchored near the top stays at its button instead of being pushed off it.

adminandClaude Opus 5 7babf88636 A state change is something the graph can react to, so the machine announces it (#53, #54, #55, #57)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m58s
Four issues that all reach for the same line: how the current state is
read and written. Splitting them into four commits would mean four
states of the tree that do not compile, so they arrive together.

#55 start state — the machine asset carries an optional `start` holding
a State node's id. Right-click a state to set or remove it, a ring in
the node's title says which one it is. A dead id (the state was deleted)
reads as "no start", so nothing has to clean up after a deletion.

#53 entered/exited — `On state entered` and `On state exited`, one exec
output per state. Every change now goes through a single `setState`
that reports it; BehaviorSystem delivers it after the exec flow that
caused it, `exited` of the old before `entered` of the new, round after
round until the queue is empty, with a cap that stops a ping-pong graph
with an endless-loop error. A local machine tells the instance that
switched, a global one tells every instance holding a matching event
node. The start state fires `entered` too: per instance for a local
machine, once per run for a global one.

#57 reading — `Current state` with `name` for showing and `id` for
comparing, `Is in state` with one boolean per state. Neither has a
`run`, so `read` learned `def` and `lookup`, and the catalog test knows
this third kind of node.

#54 seeing it — during a run the state machine tab marks every state
some instance is holding faintly, and the one held by the selected
scene object's instance strongly.

adminandClaude Opus 5 98fa9907fd A drop asks the area the pointer already uses, so a port at the very edge is still the node
`nodeUnder()` recomputed the node's face as `0 <= x <= w`, while the pointer events follow the
`hitArea`, which reaches `PORT_HIT_RADIUS` past the edge. An input port sits at exactly x = 0, so the
global point rounded back landed a hair outside: the drop counted as one on empty canvas, the node
palette opened and swallowed every later click – four checks of step 6 at once. `NodeView` now
answers from that same `hitArea`, and the step also checks that no palette is open.

rootandClaude Opus 5 68c92daaa6 A transition carries a name, so a state needs no visible port (#52)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m22s
A state keeps its `in`/`out` exec pins in the model and the editor never draws
them. That is the whole trick: connecting, undo, deleting a state and saving all
keep working untouched, because `normalizeGraph` filters nodes and never edges,
and no edge ever checks its port key against a NodeDef. Only two places change --
`NodeView.redraw` stops drawing the row, and `portAt` refuses to hand one out, so
an invisible pin cannot be grabbed either.

Transitions are drawn by right-clicking a state, `Make transition`, then clicking
the target. The armed mode takes the same shape as a live drag, so the existing
preview draws it with no second code path, and it dies with Escape, a click on
empty canvas or a switch to another asset.

Removing the pins removed the only handle a transition had: edges have no
hit-test anywhere, and the pin right-click was the sole route to Disconnect.
The inspector's TRANSITIONS OUT / TRANSITIONS IN lists are therefore not a
convenience, they are the delete path.

`GraphEdge` gained an optional `label`, which `normalizeGraph` has to pass
through explicitly or a saved name is dropped on load. `State transition`
replaces `Next state`: it takes the machine on an input port and the name from a
picker, and resolves against the *current* state. Names are deliberately not
unique across a machine -- two states may both have an `alarm` -- so a node named
`alarm` moves whichever state has one, and an empty name follows the single
unnamed edge.

The geometry moved to a Pixi-free `transitions.ts`: a gap to the box border, and
a fan that puts a pair of opposite edges beside each other instead of on top of
each other. Keeping it as plain maths is what let a screenshot bug become a unit
test -- an earlier pin-to-pin line ran under the target node and took its
arrowhead with it, because `nodeLayer` sits above `edgeLayer`.

One limit stands and is not fixed here: `ConnectCommand` rejects a second edge
between the same two states ("Already connected"), because every transition
hangs off the same two ports. With names, `A --alarm--> B` beside
`A --seen--> B` is a sensible pair, so this is worth its own issue.

root a041322a0e An edge to a vanished port needs a handle, so the port stays as a ghost (#60)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 10m7s
Four ways erase a derived port and take no edge with them: deleting a state,
deleting the `State machine` literal, deleting `Behavior start`/`end`, deleting
the asset. The common cause is `RemoveNodeCommand` clearing only its own graph,
so the fix sits in `drawnDef` (graph/nested.ts) and touches no delete site.

A right-click on an edge goes through `view.portAt` only — there is no curve
hit-test. Without a port row such an edge is not merely invisible, it is
unreachable, so the ghost row is the handle Disconnect hangs on.

`resolveDef` stays untouched: it is the truth for interpreter, compiler,
ConnectCommand and dropTarget, so nothing runs or connects through a ghost
without a second guard.

rootandClaude Opus 5 fbb2d157f0 A held preview is rebased, not paused, and it wears the asset's own rows (#86)
game-maker / suite (push) Successful in 9m42s
Three reports plus one found on the way.

Hold only froze the *picture*: the preview computed a fake second while drawing,
the library clock kept counting underneath, so letting go jumped to "how much
would have passed by now". That is the flip side of the formula model — a thing
that is a function of the clock is not stopped, its origin is moved.
ParticleField.rebase() does that; hold(null) calls it with the second stood at.
The Hold label now mirrors the preview's state instead of its own click history,
so dragging the slider (which holds too) reads `Run`, and Restart puts a held
preview back to 0.00 s rather than leaving it on the second it stopped at.

previewProps only read defaultsFor('particles'), so the panel showed the type's
defaults while the inspector showed the asset's rows. AssetBase.props is a full
bag on a graph asset as well — asset.props now lie over the defaults, the
asset's texture is resolved instead of always drawing a white square, and the
slider's span follows its lifetime. The span is re-read in tick(), because the
rows are edited in the inspector and the tab hears nothing about it.

The preview moves from under the graph to beside it, past a draggable splitter:
a graph is read across, so width is what it can spare and height is not.
AssetTabEditor grows a body() hook for that — the base class still stacks header,
strip and canvas, a subclass may put something next to the canvas.

Found by the full run, not reported: the graph canvas's empty-state hint ran
38 px past its frame now that the preview takes 280 px away. It is cut with
truncate() like any other label.

816 checks (809 + 7).

root 0f9e1611d1 A particle is a function of its age, not a thing that is stepped (#73)
game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 4m22s
The asset type `particles` is placeable and carries a graph at the same time —
`behavior` was the blueprint. Because a continuous emitter gives birth to particle n
at time n/rate, the whole field is a function of the clock rather than of the frames:
no ring-buffer bookkeeping, exact time jumps, reproducibility as a measurable property.

compile.ts follows compileShader's frame but emits JS closures into a Float64Array
instead of GLSL, and without eval; a node with two consumers is evaluated once.
Drawing is one Pixi ParticleContainer per source, so one draw call.

Collision, wind and braking in flight are out for good — that is the price of the
formula model, not an omission.

The tab count goes from nine to ten, which is exactly the case #84 was built for one
day earlier: at 1280 px the row no longer holds every tab, so guard 14b now asks for
hidden.length > 0 instead of === 0.

game-maker / suite (push) Failing after 3m59s
A shader is an asset carrying a node graph (Texture color, Output, Property,
Color, Add/Subtract/Multiply/Divide, Mix, Luminance) that compiles to the GLSL
fragment of a Pixi filter. The Shader tab reuses the Behavior canvas; a sprite
wears a shader through its Shader picker, and the rows below it are the
graph's Property nodes. Property schema, resolution and deviation take the
project because a sprite's rows now live in another asset. The built-in
registry of the prototype is gone; "Adjust colors" ships as a graph in the
fixture and the three example games.

rootandClaude Opus 5 c47fd5e4dc Console panel: capture console.*, timestamped lines, resizable (#50)
A log layer (src/editor/console/log.ts) keeps a 500-line ring buffer and
wraps console.log/info/debug/warn/error, still calling the original. Notices
and behaviour runtime errors go straight to the layer instead of through
console, so editor tests stay quiet and errors can render red. world.log is
untouched: it is per-run structured state that runtime tests and e2e read
directly, not a text stream.

The panel sits under the visible tab, resizable with Splitter('y'), with a
CONSOLE header and a clear button. Each line carries its wall-clock time in
its own dimmed column, so locate() still finds the message text.

The taller centre area drops the graph fit zoom to 0.60, which broke six e2e
checks that assumed one screen pixel is one graph unit and that a fixed
offset from the canvas centre is empty. They now ask __gm.emptySpot(),
__gm.graph.emptySpot() and __gm.graph.zoom() instead of guessing.

locate/locateAll added the unscaled Pixi text width to the global position,
so click points in the scaled graph canvas landed too far right; they use
getBounds() now.

rootandClaude Fable 5.1 e7d82bd1a9 State machines: asset, tab, State branch and Set state nodes (#51)
A state machine is an asset whose graph holds one `State` node per state
(no ports, name as title), edited in a new "State machine" tab that reuses
the graph canvas: right-click places "State n", snap toggle shared with the
Behavior tab via SnapToggle. `statemachine` is a value kind like texture
(port, literal node, variable, struct field, tagged list item).

Behaviors use it through `State branch` (one exec output per state) and
`Set state` (one exec input per state; the interpreter now hands `run` the
entry port). States live per behavior instance in NodeContext.states, with
no initial state. Ports derive from the inline picker or a wired
`State machine` literal; BehaviorLookup became GraphLookup with
behavior(id) and machine(id).

The Graph tab is labelled "Behavior" (key unchanged). Unit tests
(state-machine, kinds, catalog, ports), e2e step 26 and README added.

rootandClaude Opus 5 3ed8b68ecf Describe every value kind in one table instead of spreading it over the code
A kind like colour or texture used to be spelled out in five parallel
lists, its port type, its empty value, its glyph, its label and its list
tag - 22 literal places for texture alone. core/properties/kinds.ts now
holds one row per kind and the rest is derived from it, so adding a kind
is one row. The five literal nodes collapse into literals.ts, the six
kind menus into one helper.

Number, Text, Boolean is now the one order everywhere; the variable and
port menus used to list Boolean before Text.

rootandClaude Opus 5 656d61f187 Edit the graph during play and watch values and flow run through it
The graph was only locked by five edit-mode guards in GraphCanvas. The
running game reads the graph by reference each frame, so a new node, edge,
changed value, disconnect or undo takes effect from the next frame. Stop
discards these edits like everything else changed in play. A new On start
node does not fire for a behavior that has already started.

During play every data output shows the value it last produced, in the
highlight colour and refreshed ten times a second. Values are kept per
graph, because node ids are only unique within one; with several
instances the most recent value wins. The Variables node reads the live
variable bag, so only its own outputs are kept, as a snapshot.

Each time an exec edge fires, a bead runs along it in 0.3 s, at most one
every 0.15 s per edge, following the same curve the edge is drawn with.
Beads run on game time and freeze while paused; the game logic is
unchanged.

A single node now lists any number of variables. Every entry is an output
that reads the current value whenever it is pulled; an entry switched to
Set is also an input and is written when the flow arrives. Exec pins only
exist while at least one entry writes, and all inputs are read before any
write, so one node can swap two variables.

Get/Set variable, Get/Set variables and Variable are gone. Old project
files are converted on load: each old node becomes a Variables node with
the same variables, edges and typed values.

A written port without a typed value now shows the zero of its kind on
the node body, matching what the inspector shows and what the run writes.

rootandClaude Opus 5 854ae2e756 Add Get/Set properties nodes and a breadcrumb for opened sub-behaviors
Get properties / Set properties work like their variable counterparts:
one port per chosen property, an unconnected input writes its inline
value. A port chosen from the built-in list keeps that property's field
and default (height starts at 100, color is a colour field). "object" is
reserved for the fixed input, checked by the command and on load.

The property picker names the owning type ("Sprite width"), and text
fields can now carry a suggestion list; Get/Set property use it.

Double-clicking a call node shows the path of opened behaviors under the
graph header. Clicking an entry jumps back and trims the path; choosing
a behavior any other way hides it. Reopening a behavior already on the
path steps back to it instead of repeating it. The bar shows before the
graph switches, otherwise it clips the graph that was just fitted.

The "Add node..." header button is gone; nodes come from the context menu.

The Variable node sets its value when an exec flow arrives and exposes the
value at any time. Its output is read when a downstream node pulls it, not
frozen at the write, so count = count + 1 is one Variable node plus an Add.
Get variable keeps reading once per pulse: switching it would change the
behaviour of existing games.

rootandClaude Opus 5 8f92a06c84 Consolidate duplicated editor code, trim comments, refresh README
Split GraphCanvas (1076 -> 831 lines) into EdgeLayer and graphMenus;
the port and marker menus were the same list and are now one function.
Value specs of the inspector and the list tab share valueSpecs.ts, and
the remaining copies (compound commands, type glyphs, typed asset
lookup, name rule, play/editor world setup, marquee) are merged.

Four copies had already drifted apart; merging them fixes:
- "Disconnect N links" in the port menu is one undo step, not N
- "+ Add collider" is hidden on a placed container instance, as in
  the hierarchy menu, instead of always failing
- a bool property coerced from the text "false" becomes false
- a port command on an unknown node type reports instead of crashing

Comment-only edits leave the bundle byte-identical. README corrected in
35 places (step limit, jump-run clock, suite duration, 409 body, ...).

rootandClaude Opus 5 1e2285c545 Let a graph node collapse to its title bar
A chevron in front of the title toggles it without touching the selection,
and right-click offers Collapse node / Expand node for the whole selection
as one undo step. A collapsed node draws its title bar alone; every link of
one side meets at a single point on it, and hidden links there share one
mark per side, since per-port marks would stack on the same pixels. It has
no ports to grab, so a link dropped on it connects nothing.

Like hiding a link this is drawing only: collapsed is saved on the node and
an expanded node leaves no trace in the project file.

root 4b47741fac Graph: optionales Grid-Snapping beim Ziehen von Nodes
Ein Toggle in der Graph-Kopfzeile lässt gezogene Nodes auf dem 24er-Raster
einrasten – derselben Größe, die den Hintergrund zeichnet. Einschalten bewegt
nichts; die Regel greift erst beim nächsten Zug. Bei Mehrfachauswahl richtet
sich jeder Node für sich aus, statt einem gemeinsamen Versatz zu folgen, der
die alten krummen Abstände mitschleppen würde.

Die Entscheidung liegt als reine Funktion in framing.ts, wo die übrige
Graph-Geometrie schon wohnt, und ist dort wie im Browser gepinnt.

root 3c76106fd2 Let a Sequence grow an output as you connect the last one
The Outputs setting is gone. A Sequence now keeps one free output below the
last connected one: nothing plugged in is one output, connecting the spare
grows a new one, unplugging the bottom edge shrinks it back.

It counts the last *connected* port rather than the number of edges, so
unplugging a middle one leaves a gap instead of silently dropping an edge.

Removing the setting also removes a bug it caused. Typing in the Outputs field
did nothing and the arrow keys did nothing, while dragging the value worked:
onInput fires per keystroke, the preview writes into node.params, that emits
'project', and Inspector.refreshValues() sees the node's signature change --
the port list is part of it -- so it rebuilds and destroys the row being typed
in. A drag survives because it keeps receiving globalpointermove on the old
widget. refreshValues() has no focus guard where refreshLive() does; the trap
is still there for the next typed field that changes a node's shape.

Ports that depend on the edges around a node mean derivePorts needs the graph,
not just the params, so resolveDef and portSignature take it too. And a node
whose ports are derived cannot know how many it has from its type, so run is
handed the definition resolved for it.

root 2cf788eedd Let a value be a bundle of named fields
PropertyValue was number | string | boolean | list. A struct joins it, which
costs two things the typechecker found rather than I did.

An object on a data edge used to mean a live entity, so asEntity would have
taken a struct for one and asString would have read .name off it. EntityHandle
now carries a symbol brand – a symbol so no field name can impersonate it, and
it never serializes, which suits a thing that exists only while the game runs.
It is built in exactly one place.

String(value) would have written a struct as [object Object] at 39 call sites.
They go through textOf(), which is identical for primitives.

normalizeGraph dropped everything but primitives from node params, so the List
node lost its value on every save ([3,1,4] round-tripped to undefined).
Variables were spared: they have a schema, params have none.

rootandClaude Opus 5 11981b40d0 Give the three asset tabs one base, and move the viewports into the editor
src/viewport/ held three classes only src/editor/ ever used, and framing.ts sat
under graph/ although the scene view wants the same bounds sum. The graph, the
texture and the container tab repeated the same header, subscription and
disposal code with two silent divergences: the graph tab said "nothing shown"
with null instead of '', and the texture tab refell back to the first asset on
a selection change but not on a project event.

These arrive together because GraphCanvas ties them: it reads framing from its
new home, hands its fold marks to folding.ts, and its '' change is what
GraphEditor must agree with.

rootandClaude Opus 5 3ab8d88ad6 Let On key down repeat while the key stays held
A held key fired once and then nothing, so sliding a Tetris piece sideways or
walking a menu meant building a timer next to every key node. Two settings on
the node do it now: Repeat after and Repeat interval, both in milliseconds so
the usual values stay whole numbers (300, 50) instead of 0.3 and 0.05. A delay
of 0 keeps the node exactly as it was, an interval of 0 means every frame.

The browser's own auto-repeat is deliberately not used - Input.press has always
dropped it - because its delay and rate are an operating-system setting of the
player's, not a game's. The repeat is built from the measured hold time instead,
per node, so two nodes on one key keep their own clocks. The rule itself is a
pure function in keyRepeat.ts and is checked without a world.

Both rows stay off the node body while the delay is 0: two lines of "0" on every
key node in every graph would be noise, and the screenshot said so. NodeDef gains
hiddenParams for that; the inspector still shows them.

rootandClaude Opus 5 4b0919a224 Let a link be hidden, and shown again by selecting either end
A link can be folded away from the canvas: instead of a curve running clear
across the graph, each end grows a short stub with a mark naming the node at
the far side. The curve comes back while either of its two nodes is selected,
so following a connection is a click rather than a search, and a link carrying
a live pulse is always drawn so the trace keeps its thread.

Marks are collected per port, not per link, because several hidden links on one
port used to stack stubs, dots and labels on identical pixels. A bundle reads
"Move +1" and its dot selects every node the port feeds, as one undo step.

The whole thing is one optional flag on the edge; the interpreter never sees it.

rootandClaude Opus 5 a9c3111377 Let a variable hold a list
A variable could only be a number, a text or a yes/no, so every set of values had
to be smuggled through a string - which is where Tetris got its unreadable
"03066326048763714" colours from. A list is now a value of its own, with an item
kind (number, text, yes/no, colour) that decides how the inspector reads the one
comma-separated line it is typed as, and eight nodes to work with: List, Fill,
Count, Item at, Set item, Sub list, Join lists, Index of.

Two traps came with it. An array is typeof 'object', so every place that told a
value from an entity had to learn the difference, or a list would have been
passed around as a game object. And a value was compared by identity in three
places - with lists that marks everything as an overridden property after each
reload, so those comparisons now compare contents.

There is no list of objects: a list is written to the project file and an object
is a live handle that no reload survives. A set of objects stays a list of names.

rootandClaude Opus 5 c6f907b4e0 Make a call node say why it does nothing, and easier to place
A behavior node that cannot run looked exactly like a healthy one: no
start node, no behavior picked, a deleted behavior or a self-call were
all silently skipped. The call still had to be forgiving at runtime -- a
dangling reference must not abort a game -- so the fix is diagnosis, not
an exception: describeProblem() names the one reason, the node draws it
in red under its title, and the inspector repeats it where you pick the
behavior. A missing end node is deliberately not a problem: a call is
always synchronous, and the end node only decides which values come back.

Two ways in: a behavior dragged from the asset panel lands in the graph
under the pointer, and double-clicking a call node opens the graph it
runs. Both reuse machinery that already existed -- the asset panel
already starts the drag, and list views already report double clicks.

The e2e module needed its assets at the head of the asset list: after 18
modules the list is long enough that a newly appended row scrolls out of
view, and the press then lands on the panel behind it, starting no drag
at all. That looked exactly like a rejected drop and cost two full runs.

root 6702ff8abe Let a behavior be a node in another graph
A behavior that has a Start and an End node can now be dropped into any
other graph as a node of its own. What is declared on the start node
becomes the inputs of that node, what hangs on the end node its outputs;
the port list is derived from the sub graph, not copied, so declaring a
port in one graph grows the node in the other without touching it. The
node carries the behavior's name and the palette lists behaviors by
name, so a call is one grab instead of a node plus a dropdown.

An embedded behavior has no object and therefore no place for
variables: every call starts on the asset defaults and communicates
only through its ports. That is the conservative direction - state can
still be added later, and shared state already has a home in a behavior
object in the scene. Node ids are unique per graph only, so each call
gets its own pulse cache; without that, two graphs would collide.

Renaming a port used to silently drop the value typed on the calling
node. It is carried along now, project wide, like the edges.

root e0d43e12aa Pan with the middle button, select several nodes, and fit properly
Three things the graph view did differently from the scene view, or not
at all:

Panning moves to the middle button, which works from anywhere – a node
under the pointer included, since NodeView now lets that one button
bubble up. Shift-drag on empty canvas pans too. The left button pulls a
rubber band instead and no longer pans.

Nodes can be selected several at a time: by band, by ctrl/shift-click,
moved together, deleted together, each as one undo step. The selection
model gains `nodeIds` alongside the objects' `objectIds`.

Fit really fits. It used to pin the zoom at 1 and merely centre, so a
graph larger than the view always left nodes hanging out, and it sized
every node with one guessed height although real ones vary with their
port count. Both sums now live in editor/graph/framing.ts as pure
functions, which is what made the defect testable at all.

The band selects any node it overlaps rather than one whose position it
contains, unlike the scene view: nodes are large rectangles, and a band
drawn visibly across one has to catch it.

root 14562cf157 Keep the dragged edge on screen while the palette picks its node
Releasing an edge over empty space opened the node palette but dropped the edge
drawing, so the connection being made was invisible exactly while its target was
being chosen. The finished drag is now held in `pendingDrop` and drawn like a
running one until the palette closes, by pick or by Escape.

The e2e check for the Escape path exposed a real defect underneath: `Popup.open()`
blurs the focused widget, `close()` did not. A field inside the popup therefore kept
the keyboard bridge's DOM focus after the popup was gone, and every later Delete or
Ctrl+Z went into that invisible input. The suite caught it one check later ("Delete
removes the node and its edge" found the node still there). `close()` now blurs,
mirroring `open()`.

checks, no failures.

root ebad3fd530 Make an edge drag say where it will land, and offer nodes when it lands nowhere
Dragging an edge now rings the port it would connect to and snaps the line
there. A drop on a node's body takes that node's first free compatible port,
or the last compatible one when none is free, replacing its link. A drop into
empty space opens the palette filtered to the node types the edge could reach
at all, and the picked node arrives wired - node and link as one undo step,
so a single undo takes back the whole gesture.

The decision of what fits what lives in core/graph/dropTarget.ts as pure
functions, tested directly; the canvas only draws the answer. The palette
takes an optional filter rather than knowing about drags.

Verified remote on the Windows box (GPU): ALL PASSED, 284 checks.

rootandClaude Opus 5 4d84231b9f Trim needless comments and fix the picker width
Remove comments that only restate the code, keeping the section banners
and the notes that carry a reason, a measured fact or an external
contract.

ButtonOptions.width claimed to be a fixed width but only set minWidth,
so the Graph and Texture pickers grew with the name they showed. It is
now what it promises, with a separate minWidth for the buttons that have
two forms. Narrow buttons shrink their padding, otherwise a 24px icon
button had 8px left for its glyph and truncate dropped it entirely.

__gm.labelsDropped() guards that class: the overflow guard only saw text
that was too wide, never a label truncated to nothing.

rootandClaude Opus 5 f16801aef3 Add a decimals option, fix dropdown overflow and the texture filter
- NumberField takes a decimals option (default 3); frame rects and the
  slice dialog use 0, matching their integer model.
- Button truncates its label to the drawn width; Dropdown reserves the
  chevron slot. NodeView reuses the shared truncate().
- Setting scaleMode leaves the style's shared resource id in place, so
  the old GPU sampler stayed in use until a reload. Call style.update().
- Graph gets a header bar like the Texture tab: GraphEditor is now the
  frame, the former editor is GraphCanvas. A selection the tab does not
  concern no longer unloads the behavior.
- New e2e step 14 guards text overflow across all widgets.

rootandClaude Opus 5 5a6af74e44 Add textures for sprites
Images are uploaded to a content-addressed blob endpoint and stored as
data/textures/<sha256>.<ext>; the project only keeps the file name. The
sprite points at a texture asset through an ordinary property of the new
kind `asset`, so instance overrides, "Apply to container", "Reset to
asset", undo and `Set property` work without any extra code. The new kind
also replaces the ad-hoc asset picker the graph nodes faked as an enum.

Import goes through + -> Texture, drag & drop onto the canvas or Ctrl+V.
Images wider than 2048px are downscaled client-side and re-encoded to
WebP if needed, because nginx caps uploads at 1MB; an image that already
fits is uploaded byte for byte so pixel art is never resampled.

The sprite colour default changes from red to white, since colour tints
the texture multiplicatively and a tint of white shows an image as it is.

rootandClaude Opus 5 6168df41f8 Show number fields with three decimals and snap dragging to the step
Number fields derived their display precision from `step`, so `step: 1`
(X/Y/Z, width, height, font size) rendered a stored 100.234 as "100" — and
because `onChange` parses the text, touching the field wrote the rounded
value back into the project. `formatNumber` now renders every number with
three decimals, independent of `step`, which is left to control the scrub
and arrow-key increment only.

Dragging now snaps to the increment's grid (`snapToStep`), so a scrub at
`step: 1` always lands on whole numbers even from a fractional start, while
Alt (x0.1) and the 0.1-step fields keep their precision. Typed values and
arrow keys are untouched.

rootandClaude Opus 5 d54a620ebd Add ESLint and Prettier, and close the node test gaps
Tooling:
- Prettier as the single formatting authority (110 columns, single quotes,
  measured against the existing style); Markdown excluded because table-cell
  padding turns the README glossary into 1000-character lines.
- Type-aware ESLint ending in eslint-config-prettier, so a rule always means
  "this is a bug", never "this looks different".
- .editorconfig and an `npm run check` that runs typecheck, lint, format and
  tests in one go.

Findings fixed on the first run: three more duplicate imports, four
String(unknown) calls (parameter types narrowed instead of casts), two dead
initialisers, two redundant casts, a console.log for a real error. Two
warnings were false here and are disabled with a reason in place.

Tests 132 -> 269:
- node-catalog.test.ts covers every node with a run(), with a guard that fails
  when a new node has no row.
- behavior-events.test.ts covers the ten event nodes through a running World,
  checking timing rather than existence.
- Input's state machine (press/release/releaseAll) is reachable without DOM
  events now; the DOM handlers are thin adapters.

Compare fell back to == without a configured operator although the schema
default is <; aligned.
