 - CHORE/UI: loop lag on Home reads a real number with no flows, and that is right — `LoopWatchdog` times how late `asyncio.sleep(1.0)` wakes on the API's event loop and is started unconditionally, so it measures the engine process rather than any flow, and it is what turns the health badge `degraded`. Nothing to fix; recorded so it is not reopened.
 - BUG/UI auto node placement on flows should be improved in regards to least crossing edges and a more vertical layout on mobile devices
 - FEAT/UI we should highlight failing nodes accordingly in the flow view to facilitate easier tracking of mis-configurations
-- BUG/UI when a dashboard widget is selected, the border does not cleanly draw on the left side of the widget (like it is obscured by the widget)
 - INFRA: ensure that all the packages/ dependencies needed to run fluksio are available on arm to make this software runnable on e.g. raspbian
 - INFRA: merge the philosophy statement at the beginning of vision.md into the rest of the document. Dissolve the decision dates and fold the decisions into a clean structure
 - CHORE/INFRA: `bunx playwright test` from the host is unsafe against this stack — `app.fluksio.com` and `api.fluksio.com` resolve to production, and `--host-resolver-rules` steers only Chromium while `page.request.*` resolves through Node, so setup and teardown write to the live instance. Run the specs in a container on the `proxy` network with `--add-host` pointing both names at Traefik.
