0b03e15336 feat(diagram-engine): corners, borderless fills, shadows and strikethrough
Four more Tailwind classes, all four verified against draw.io's own source in
public/drawio rather than against a prose reference — which is how three earlier
exclusions turned out to be wrong:

  rounded-*      mxShape.js:1172-1189 — absoluteArcSize=1 switches arcSize to
                 absolute pixels and halves it, so the same class is the same
                 corner on every box. Previously excluded as 'percentage only'
  shadow-sm..xl  mxShape.js:505-535 — getShadowStyle reads five independent
                 params, not one flag, so Tailwind's offset+blur rungs map one
                 to one. Previously excluded as 'six sizes collapse to one'
  line-through   mxConstants.js:2054 FONT_STRIKETHROUGH: 8, read at both
                 mxText.js:723 and :1040. The bitmask has four bits, not three
  border-none    the only one of the four that adds something previously
                 inexpressible: a fill with no outline

Also fixes an edge style growing 76 characters per re-layout, without bound. The
router recomputes ports on every pass, and appending them to a style recovered
from the canvas — which already carried the previous pass's eight port keys —
grew the string forever. draw.io resolves duplicates last-wins so the arrow
always looked right; a byte-identity check is what caught it.

Two traps found while wiring the readback, both the same shape: a value the
THEME emits being recorded as one the model asked for. strokeColor=none from a
filled or ghost role, and rounded=0 from the fallback style. Either one would
outlive a set_role, since that clears style but keeps text.

Deliberately not included, with reasons in tw.ts: per-side borders and per-corner
radius (both would take the shape slot, and what a node IS matters more than
which of its edges show), per-side padding (draw.io's keys pad the label, not the
room left for children), text-shadow (a bare flag with no offset or blur),
opacity (Tailwind's is any integer, not a scale), tracking/uppercase/leading
(absent from draw.io — zero grep hits, not merely coarse).

615 tests, 90 new. Browser-verified: four shadow rungs visibly differ, radius is
real pixels, terminator + rounded-lg becomes a small-cornered rounded rect while
an untouched terminator stays a stadium.

d9cdfba3e1 feat(diagram-engine): connection vocabulary — arrowheads, parallel edges, edge ids
Arrowheads carry meaning: a crow's foot IS one-to-many, a hollow diamond IS
aggregation. The engine allowed exactly one arrowhead; this opens the
vocabulary the same way shapes were opened:

- LinkSpec gains head/tail (pass-through to endArrow/startArrow, charset-
  gated against style injection) and headFill/tailFill — fill is written
  explicitly whenever a head is declared, because UML composition and
  aggregation differ ONLY by fill and draw.io's per-head default would flip
  the meaning. bold (4px amber, for THE key relationship) included.
- Parallel edges: a second link between the same pair is allowed when it
  carries an id (ER's 'places' and 'cancels' between the same two entities);
  without one it stays an error, since two identical overlapping lines is a
  mistake. Edge ids are also what later operations address.
- Sequence messages respect a declared head (an async message's open arrow
  is UML notation) while defaulting to the solid block as before.
- draw_graph's edge schema extended to match; GraphEdge passes the new
  fields through to the link operations it generates.

5 new tests: crow's foot style emission, hollow-vs-filled round trip,
injection rejection, parallel-edge gating, bold round trip. 561 unit tests
green. ER+UML acceptance diagram (crow's foot, zero-to-one, hollow
inheritance triangle, filled composition diamond) verified in the real
editor.

50826c0ac8 feat(diagram-engine): open shape vocabulary — catalog + pass-through, structured style merge
The expressiveness gap traced to vocabulary: draw.io has hundreds of shapes,
the declarative layer allowed six. Opening it, with the failure modes from
design review handled:

- shapes.ts: a ~20-entry curated catalog (full style fragment incl. the
  matching perimeter — required or edges connect to the bounding box; a
  text-scale factor verified in the real editor — the same sentence overflows
  a 1.0x rhombus and fits a 1.5x one; labelOutside+glyph for umlActor-style
  figures). Any other token passes through verbatim: draw.io degrades unknown
  shapes to rectangles safely (verified). Injection-capable tokens (;/=) are
  rejected outright.
- Pass-through emits a WARNING with a nearest-catalog hint (bounded edit
  distance), so a typo'd 'cyclinder' is a one-turn fix instead of a silently
  rectangular node forever. set_shape/set_role/set_group operations make the
  fix possible without remove+re-add (which would drop links).
- mergeStyle(): style fragments merge per-key (later wins, bare shape classes
  displace each other) instead of string concatenation. This is what makes
  shape and theme composable by rule — shape owns geometry keys, theme owns
  colour/type keys, and an overlap resolves by order instead of emitting
  contradictory duplicates.
- dai_shape marker carries the declared token through the round trip:
  appearance-based reverse mapping cannot distinguish aliases (diamond vs
  decision) or a rotated queue from a cylinder.
- dai_auto marker separates engine-measured size from user-fixed size: parsed
  boxes no longer freeze the first layout's numbers, so changing a label
  re-measures. Pinned nodes keep everything, as before.
- draw_graph's closed shape enum opened to match (first instance of the
  schema-drift problem the review predicted).

14 new tests: merge ownership, injection rejection, near-match hints,
alias-preserving round trip, re-measure on label change, mxgraph.* tokens
staying boxes with role/group intact. 556 unit tests green; acceptance
diagram (person/hexagon/cylinder/queue/cloud/decision/callout) verified in
the real editor.

db9db1ff4e feat(diagram-engine): flex knobs (grow/align/pad) + inline rich-text labels
The expressiveness gap between engine output and hand-written XML came down
to two missing capabilities, both generic:

- Block layout inside a box: nested containers already existed, but there was
  no way to split space by weight, pin a child to an edge, or tighten padding.
  Added grow (flex-grow over the parent's leftover flow-axis space, TeX's
  glue), align (start/center/end/stretch on the cross axis) and pad
  (per-group interior padding). All three round-trip via dai_grow/dai_align/
  dai_pad markers.

- Inline rich text: labels already render HTML (html=1 on every style, esc()
  entities decode back), but the measure pass counted markup as text. The
  visibleText() strip makes autoBoxSize measure what draw.io draws: <br> is a
  line, other inline tags are invisible.

Graphviz (HTML-like table labels), D2 (grid containers + markdown-in-shape)
and TeX (box+glue) converged on exactly this design: nested boxes for block
structure, proportional glue, a small inline set for text — never full HTML.

Prompts teach the composition with a comparison-card recipe; verified by
rebuilding the CoT poster end to end in the real editor.

e78322ca52 feat(diagram-engine): design tokens + role/group composition, engine-wide theming
Paper-summary posters previously required hand-written XML: every engine
box rendered identically (white, 11px), so anything whose meaning lives
in visual hierarchy came out flat. This makes presentation a first-class,
generalised part of the declaration - not a poster feature.

Structure/presentation separation, the same split HTML and CSS settled on:

- ROLE says what a node IS: banner, heading, body, callout, good, bad,
  metric, muted. Maps to a type scale and an emphasis (filled / tinted /
  outlined / ghost), never to a colour.
- GROUP says which semantic zone a node belongs to. Each distinct group
  name gets one hue ramp (tint / base / dark), assigned in document
  order. Promoted from a draw_graph-only field to BoxNode and GroupNode,
  round-tripped via dai_group.
- themedStyle(role, hue, kind) composes the two by rule - there is no
  per-combination table to extend, so a new diagram kind gets full
  theming by tagging nodes. The model never sees a hex value.

A heading container plus a group yields the tinted section panel with a
dark title; a grouped body box takes its zone's tint; verdict roles stay
green/red regardless of zone; the banner is the page's one dark field.

Also fixed, found while building the acceptance poster:

- autoBoxSize only counted explicit newlines, so a long single-line label
  wrapped to six lines in draw.io but got a one-line-tall box, and the
  text overflowed the cell.
- Marker stamping appended without replacing, so every render of a
  recovered style grew it by one duplicate dai_* token per key -
  unnoticed because draw.io resolves duplicates last-wins. dai_* keys
  are now replaced in place; mxGraph keys still append, because
  last-wins is load-bearing for container=1 normalisation.
- Banner/heading/metric roles stretch across their container's cross
  axis, the way a masthead spans its page.
- Prompt: a poster's banner IS its title (no set_title alongside), and
  sections get their colour by naming groups.

537 unit tests, 250-flowchart corpus still zero crossing arrows, 5 e2e
tests in a real browser. Verified visually: the Transformer-paper poster
renders with a navy masthead, three hue-coded section panels, metric,
verdict and callout boxes - all engine-computed geometry.

526f1e14e7 refactor(diagram-engine): apply review findings, fix vertical pool phases
Four reviewers went over the previous commit (three Claude, one Codex). Their
findings, verified independently before applying:

A REAL BUG. A vertical pool with milestone labels drew the label strip outside
the pool frame. The measure pass reserves width as padding + content + strip with
no gap between the last two; the renderer placed the strip one gap further out.
No test caught it because every vertical case omitted phases and every phases
case was horizontal — both regression cases added.

Duplicated logic, now single-sourced:
  - messageCount existed byte-identically in layout.ts and render.ts. Two copies
    that had to agree or the lifelines stop reaching the last message.
  - sequenceMetrics was called twice per sequence container, once inside the
    chrome builder and again for the message positions. Same drift hazard, in the
    file whose own comment warns about it.

Dead code, each verified unreachable rather than assumed:
  - Placed.extent: declared and documented, never written or read. Every .extent
    access belongs to RadialTree.
  - SequenceMetrics.top: computed, returned, no reader.
  - spread()'s level parameter: threaded through the recursion, never used.
  - radialReach's .slice(0, generations): widestPerLevel writes one entry per
    generation, so its length IS the depth. Confirmed over 20,000 random trees;
    removing it made RadialTree.depth dead too.
  - Two of three cycle guards in radialHierarchy: self-links are already skipped
    when the parent map is built, and that map holds one parent per node, so the
    structure is a forest and the visited-set filter cannot fire. The rootOf
    guard does fire and stays.
  - GraphOptions.layerGap/nodeGap/idPrefix: no caller, not in the tool schema.

Simplifications:
  - LayoutContext wrapped a single field; the link array now passes directly,
    which also removes the NO_CONTEXT default no call site ever took.
  - stretches() and the mirror-image check five lines below it expressed one rule
    two ways; unified, with the rationale stated once.
  - hasStencilFrame/isDirectional: one caller each, and isDirectional's name
    contradicted its body, which the guarded branch then re-discriminated anyway.
  - poolFrameStyle() took no arguments and had one caller.
  - poolCellOf clamped a value already clamped at the model boundary and
    unreachable-by-construction from the parser.
  - A comment on stampPoolDecoration described container behaviour the function
    does not implement.

Kept deliberately, with evidence:
  - The best-arrangement tracking in the crossing reducer. Two reviewers
    suspected it was dead weight. Measured: barycentre sweeping regressed below
    its own running best in 180 of 500 random graphs, so without it a third of
    flowcharts would keep a worse arrangement than one already found.
  - Vertical pools. Two reviewers recommended deleting the feature as
    undiscoverable. The bug was one line, and vertical swimlanes are a real
    convention — documented to the model instead, which is what was actually
    missing.
  - styleValue duplicating readMarker, isLeaf, findPageIndex: all genuinely
    redundant, all predating this branch. Left alone to keep the diff scoped.

525 unit tests and 11 diagram e2e tests pass.

a3814f702d feat(diagram-engine): flowcharts, swimlanes, sequence diagrams and mind maps
Extends the declarative engine past cloud architecture. The tool routing was
divided by icon library — AWS through the engine, everything else hand-written
XML — which is the wrong axis. What matters is the LAYOUT SHAPE.

Measured first: a six-step approval flow declared in its natural order comes out
as one column, because the layout only arranges what nesting tells it to and
never looked at the arrows. That forces the arrow from the decision to its second
branch to jump over the first branch.

graph.ts computes what the layout should have looked at: layer assignment by
longest path, cycle breaking so a loop is drawn without setting the order, and
barycentre sweeping to cut edge crossings. It emits ordinary container
operations, so layout, routing and round-tripping are unchanged — reaching zero
arrows-through-boxes on a 14-node pipeline and zero crossings on a bipartite
graph whose declared order forces three.

Three new container kinds, each because one layout rule cannot serve them all:

  pool     — swimlanes. Lanes are real cells and each step is parented to its
             band, so dragging a step to another role records the change.
  sequence — participants across the top, one lifeline cell per participant so
             head and line stay together on a drag. Messages bypass the router:
             a message's height IS its order.
  radial   — mind maps and org charts. Children are a flat list and the
             hierarchy comes from the links, because a branch is a box and a box
             cannot hold children.

Flowchart box shapes (diamond, stadium, parallelogram, document) so a reader can
tell a branch from a step.

Two bugs the new tests caught: the duplicate-link guard blocked a sequence
diagram from having two messages between the same pair, and the fallback message
numbering was shared across containers, pushing a second diagram's messages off
its own lifelines.

523 unit tests and 17 diagram e2e tests pass. Every kind verified round-trip
stable to a fixed point, and rendered in a real browser — draw.io keeps the
lifeline shape and the lane markers.

8765dfb96c feat(diagram-engine): style markers + XML→tree reverse parser
Groundwork for a declarative diagram engine where the model declares nesting and
the engine computes every coordinate, instead of the model emitting raw mxCell XML.

The design keeps the canvas as the SINGLE source of truth: the node tree is never
persisted, it is re-derived from the current canvas XML whenever needed. A user's
manual edits are therefore an input to the next re-layout, not a second copy of
the state that has to be reconciled.

Two behaviours this relies on, both verified against the real embedded editor with
a Playwright mouse drag (reading the editor's own autosave payload):

  1. An AWS group stencil WITHOUT container=1 does not get a dragged shape
     reparented — parent stays "1" and geometry stays absolute. WITH container=1
     it does: parent becomes the frame, geometry becomes parent-relative. So the
     engine must stamp container=1 on every container it emits.
  2. draw.io preserves style keys it does not understand, and resolves a duplicate
     key last-wins. So dai_* markers survive a user edit, and container=1 can be
     appended to a catalog style without first parsing out an existing value —
     which matters because the AWS catalog is inconsistent about it (group_vpc,
     group_region, group_subnet ship without it; group_account ships with it).

markers.ts  — dai_kind / dai_dir / dai_gap / dai_cols / dai_pin, and the container
              token normalisation.
types.ts    — the node tree contract, plus a `foreign` bucket so cells the engine
              does not understand (user annotations, imported shapes) round-trip
              verbatim rather than being destroyed by a re-layout.
parse.ts    — XML → tree. Handles all four icon encodings (resIcon=, bare shape=,
              shape=image data URI, grIcon=), resolves nesting from parent with a
              geometry fallback for frames that lack container=1, recovers layout
              direction from the marker or infers it from child positions, and
              survives cycles, compressed files and multi-page decks.

75 unit tests, including a round-trip against real output from the reference
project's build_vpc.mjs.

One finding worth recording: the reference project's "phantom" node (a wrapper that
participates in layout but emits no cell) makes the round-trip lossy by
construction. In build_vpc.mjs a phantom erased a container's col direction — its
children were reparented onto the grandparent, leaving a 2-D arrangement the parser
can only read as a grid. 26 of the reference project's 31 examples use phantoms, so
our engine needs an invisible-but-real container instead. Tracked separately.
