This changelog summarizes product-visible changes delivered since commit 0a53bd1ceb7c27516bcfd84e7f6a83251c7c31b0, up to the current repository state (0.9.0).

Guided Onboarding and In-App Help

• Added a step-by-step onboarding modal flow with contextual guidance for first-time usage.
• Onboarding can auto-open on startup and supports a persisted opt-out preference.
• Added Help relaunch entry points from Home and contextual Help buttons in Modeling and Analysis panels.
• Shared Connectors / Splices onboarding step now includes separate CTAs for:
  • Open Connectors
  • Open Splices
• CTA navigation supports best-effort screen switching and panel focus/scroll behavior.
• Onboarding visuals were polished:
  • icon-based step markers,
  • improved Next / Finish button styling,
  • theme-aware onboarding modal rendering.

Modeling and Entity Editing UX

Editable IDs (safe rename)

• Node ID is now editable in edit mode via a safe atomic rename flow.
• Segment ID is now editable in edit mode via a safe atomic rename flow.
• Renames update dependent references consistently (selection state, route references, related entities/positions).

Save/Edit Form Behavior

• After Save in edit mode, the corresponding row is re-focused.
• Edit forms stay synchronized with the saved row (no unwanted fallback to create mode).
• Save focus behavior was stabilized across Modeling entity forms.

Connector / Splice Metadata and Create Behavior

• Added optional manufacturerReference to:
  • connectors
  • splices
• Added create-form checkbox to enable/disable auto-create linked node for connectors/splices.
• Added a global Settings default to pre-set the auto-create linked node checkbox.

Wires: New Metadata, Validation, and Ergonomics

Endpoint Occupancy and Next-Free Prefill

• Added endpoint occupancy validation for wire endpoints (connector ways / splice ports).
• Added inline occupancy hints (already used) in wire create/edit forms.
• Added next-free way/port suggestion and create-mode prefill.
• Manual edits are preserved until endpoint context changes.
• Edit mode excludes the currently edited wire slot to avoid false positives.

Wire Section (mm²)

• Added sectionMm2 on wires.
• Added Section (mm²) field in wire create/edit forms.
• Added Settings default value (used as a create-form prefill).
• Added compatibility patching for older saves/imports missing wire section.

Wire Colors (mono / bi-color)

• Added a canonical cable color catalog (2-character IDs, labels, hex colors).
• Added optional wire color support with:
  • primaryColorId
  • secondaryColorId (optional)
• Supports no-color, mono-color, and bi-color wires.
• Duplicate bi-color values are normalized back to mono-color.
• Added wire color selectors and swatches in wire forms.

Wire Endpoint Side Metadata

• Added optional per-side metadata on wires:
  • connection reference
  • seal reference
• Available for both endpoint sides (A and B) in wire forms.
• Endpoint side metadata is preserved when endpoint type changes.

Analysis Workflows and Occupancy Views

Connectors / Splices Analysis Improvements

• Occupancy labels now display human-readable wire references:
  • Wire <technicalId> / A
  • Wire <technicalId> / B
    (internal backend/store references remain unchanged)
• Connector Reserve way and splice Reserve port now validate occupied slots.
• Reserve actions now suggest and prefill the next free slot.
• Reserve buttons are disabled when the selected slot is invalid/occupied.
• Added wire color swatches alongside wire labels in connector/splice analysis views (matching wire table swatch design).

New Analysis Panels: Nodes and Segments

• Added Nodes analysis view/panel with associated segment listing and lengths.
• Added Segments analysis view/panel with traversing wires listing.
• Added sorting support within these new analysis tables.
• Added stable navigation into Analysis > Nodes and Analysis > Segments from:
  • inspector Analysis button,
  • workspace entity navigation,
  • quick entity navigation strip.

Wires Analysis Enrichment

• Enriched Wires analysis with additional wire metadata, including:
  • cable section,
  • colors,
  • endpoint-side references (when present).

Tables, Sorting, Filters, and Column Layouts

Sortability Completion

• Completed sortable columns across workspace tables (Modeling / Analysis / Network Scope / Validation tabular views).
• Column header sort controls now support consistent sorting behavior, including empty-value handling.

Filter Bar Pattern Expansion

• Introduced and expanded a reusable table filter bar pattern with:
  • Filter label
  • field selector
  • full-width text input
• Deployed across Modeling, Analysis, and Network Scope tables.
• Any is now consistently prioritized as the first filter field option.
• Filter field selector styling was aligned with the app’s existing control style.
• Filter text input height was aligned with the filter field selector height.

Table Content / Column Changes

• Connectors / Splices tables now include Mfr Ref (manufacturerReference) column.
• In Wires tables, Section now appears immediately before Length.
• Column headers (including sort chevrons) now apply the active theme correctly.

2D Render, Callouts, and Network Summary UX

• Wire callouts now display cable section after length.
• Clicking items in the 2D render no longer forces disruptive auto-scroll jumps to table rows (selection sync remains).
• (default) sub-network label is now hidden in:
  • segment Sub-network table cells
  • render/summary sub-network info controls
• Enable all sub-network button is hidden when no sub-network other than default exists.
• Quick entity navigation strip after route preview now supports Nodes and Segments in Analysis mode.

Home, Network Scope, and Settings UX Polish

• Open Network Scope moved to the first position on Home.
• Home Help was promoted to a standalone action button under Import from file.
• Added Export action in Network Scope (under Duplicate) with aligned icon usage.
• Network Scope action row ordering and table shell styling were aligned with the rest of the app.
• Multiple Settings sections were reordered for a smoother information flow.
• Settings shortcut and export network selection lists were compacted for better density/readability.

Themes and Visual System (Major Expansion)

New Standalone Dark Themes

Added 8 standalone dark themes (single-class themes, no theme mixing):

• Steel Blue
• Forest Graphite
• Petrol Slate
• Copper Night
• Moss Taupe
• Navy Ash
• Charcoal Plum
• Smoked Teal

New Standalone Light Themes

Added 8 standalone light themes:

• Mist Gray
• Sage Paper
• Sand Slate
• Ice Blue
• Soft Teal
• Dusty Rose
• Pale Olive
• Cloud Lavender

Theme Selector and Theme Coverage Improvements

• Theme selector entries are grouped by Light then Dark.
• Non-base theme labels include (Light) / (Dark).
• Fixed page/shell background continuity for standalone themes (no visible seam).
• Removed hardcoded white textfield backgrounds and made form fields theme-aware.
• Expanded standalone theme coverage across many workspace components, including:
  • inspector/context panels,
  • legends and canvas info values,
  • route preview empty state and badges,
  • validation severity badges,
  • release buttons in analysis cards,
  • delete buttons,
  • subnetwork chips,
  • navigation subsections,
  • selected/highlighted row visuals,
  • settings panels and controls.
• Improved Olive theme coverage (settings, inspector, legends, overlays).
• Aligned selected node stroke color with selected segment color across themes.
• Aligned legend segment/wire-highlight colors with network theme variables.

Button Styling and Visual Consistency

• Help buttons now share a stronger dotted/dashed border treatment across panels.
• CSV export buttons now use the same dotted border treatment as Help buttons.
• Export PNG now uses the same dotted border treatment as CSV / Help.
• All onboarding/contextual help buttons now use the shared ico_help icon.

Accessibility and Data Integrity Hardening

• Hardened reducer invariants so required text/ID fields are normalized and validated after trim (store remains a final guardrail).
• Improved TableFilterBar accessibility by ensuring explicit labeling of the text input (not placeholder-only).
• Strengthened theme UI regression tests beyond shell class wiring (representative rendered surfaces are checked).

Testing, Quality Gates, and Delivery Hardening

• Added and updated regression tests for:
  • onboarding,
  • analysis/navigation,
  • table sorting/filtering,
  • creation flow ergonomics,
  • wire metadata,
  • theme rendering,
  • persistence and portability compatibility.
• E2E smoke coverage was updated to account for onboarding auto-open behavior.
• Repeated full validation runs were performed during delivery:
  • logics_lint
  • lint
  • typecheck
  • UI/store modularization quality gates
  • test:ci
  • build
  • quality:pwa
  • test:e2e
