Plumbing only: the widget-type literal and its dtype table on both sides,
the regenerated client, a curated lucide map and four stubs the renderers
are wired to. Also a latching switch and a segmented dropdown, both a
`style` on the control that already publishes and reads back, plus the
option editor a dropdown never had.

The canvas lays itself out: a layered graph, left to right on a desktop and
top to bottom on a phone, with room reserved for the value each edge carries.
Nodes cannot be dragged and `NodeDef.position` is gone from the document —
a graph nobody can arrange is one worth keeping small, which is what keeps
flows atomic. Endpoints join the same layout, so their lanes and the
localStorage that remembered where they were dragged go too.
Mobile, per the new Responsive section of DESIGN-GUIDELINES.md: the dock caps
its width and wraps instead of running off the screen, the dashboard stacks
into one column rather than shrinking a wall panel to a fifth of its size, and
Home stops widening its grid track past the viewport. A Playwright project at
a phone's width fails the build when a screen no longer fits.
Along the way: publish is the checkmark that was already there rather than a
button that appears and disappears, with discard beside it on both the flow
and the dashboard; the brain reveals a neuron's name on the first tap; and the
port sparklines get room to breathe.

The frame centres a single reading, which is right for a gauge and wrong
for a list.

A series, record or list message declares its shape instead of riding
DType.JSON, so a widget binds a shape rather than some JSON and a wrong
binding is refused before anything runs. A list declares its item type,
which is what keeps list[float] expressible for a pipeline.
On top of that: an agenda over a list, a notification over a record, and
a dashboard alert channel that publishes engine faults as one — so a
panel can show what went wrong without a flow wiring it by hand.
Also: only None means a node published nothing, a falsy value of the
wrong shape is now the named error it always should have been; and the
gauge's readout says its size is viewBox geometry rather than type scale.

One shell for both editors. Flows and dashboards each get a searchable
overview under the padded shell, their editors move to the full-bleed
canvas, and the floating chrome is shared: a title bar that only says
what you are looking at, and a bottom dock carrying everything else —
the flow bar's status, settings and Publish moved down there, the
add-flow button moved to the overview.
Dashboards gain the rest of M4's visualization work:
- widgets are picked by clicking them, with the header as the drag
handle so a slider still slides and a switch still flips while
editing; settings moved into the flows' SidePanel
- react-grid-layout for drag and edge-resize, so the stored x/y finally
mean something; a dashboard nobody arranged is shelf-packed once
- a per-dashboard grid size, so a panel can be matched to its screen
- the chart widget, drawn with uPlot: several messages on one axis, fed
from the stored history plus the live socket tail, coloured from the
new --chart-1..5 ramp
- /view/{name}: the URL a wall panel is pointed at — no sidebar, no
footer, no editing, and no editor code, since routes are split
- a widget wired to a payload type it cannot carry, or wired to nothing
at all, carries the same red dot a failing node does; the picker
records the type it bound and WidgetDef refuses a mismatch on save

Moving a dashboard slider lit up an edge between two nodes that had done
nothing. The canvas pulsed on the message's timestamp alone, and a message
has no idea who published it — so it credited whichever node happened to
be drawn as a producer.
That was never only about dashboards. Two nodes producing one message
pulsed both their edges whichever fired, and a message produced in another
flow changed with nothing on screen to account for it at all.
Values now carry their cause: a node, a dashboard widget, another flow, an
agent or an API caller. An edge pulses only for the producer that actually
published, and the edge inspector says where a value came from when it did
not come from a node.
What is not a node in this flow is now drawn as one — a label rather than
a card, because a dashboard with twenty tiles would otherwise bury the
logic the canvas exists to show. That covers cross-flow wiring too, which
is the link in/out affordance that has been missing.
They are never part of the document. They join at render, after everything
that reads or writes the canvas nodes, so an autosave, an undo or a delete
cannot reach them — with a Playwright test that drags a node and asserts
the stored flow still holds exactly what it did.

Widgets bind to a message name and read it live off the socket the editor
already had — lifted out of the flow editor so a dashboard route gets the
same values, which also gives the home page live data for free.
The input widgets close the loop the other way: a slider publishes into
the graph and whatever consumes that message runs. Verified end to end in
the running app — moving a slider set a flow input, and the stat bound to
what the flow computed from it followed.
View mode is plain CSS grid. A wall panel that only displays should not
download the code that lets someone drag things around, and it now does
not. Editing is a widget picker, a per-widget width control and a
settings card fed by the message catalog.
No new dependencies: the slider is a range input, the gauge is an arc,
and the markdown is a five-line subset. Charts are the one widget still
missing — they need a charting library and the chart tokens the design
guidelines reserved — so they are stored and validated but not offered.
