v0.9.6

Changelog (since version 0.9.0 to version 0.9.6)

This changelog summarizes product-visible changes delivered since commit 989dd72e5e83154154e6f3dc585dd845ef546946, up to the current repository state (0.9.6 / 9d13fdb).

Major Highlights

• Modeling / Analysis workflow unification

  • The standalone primary Analysis entry was removed.
  • Analysis is now integrated into the Modeling workspace flow.
  • Detail/form/analysis panels are shown only when the current selection is relevant.
  • Selection context is preserved when switching between modeling/analysis-oriented views.

• New network-scoped Catalog with a catalog-first workflow

  • New Catalog sub-screen in Modeling (navigation, quick nav, and menu integration).
  • Catalog item CRUD with:
    • manufacturer reference
    • connection count
    • optional name
    • optional unit price (excl. tax)
    • optional URL
  • Connectors / Splices forms now rely on a catalog selector instead of free manufacturer/count entry.
  • Connector way count / splice port count is derived from the selected catalog item.

• Per-network 2D view persistence

  • Zoom and pan are persisted per network.
  • Display toggles are persisted per network:
    • Info
    • Length
    • Callouts
    • Grid
    • Snap
    • Lock
  • View state is restored on reload and when switching active networks.

• Catalog ecosystem expansion

  • Legacy fallback bootstraps catalog items from existing connectors/splices.
  • Additional legacy fallback generates deterministic LEGACY-NOREF-* catalog references when manufacturer reference is missing.
  • New Catalog analysis panel lists connectors/splices using the selected catalog item.
  • Validation now includes Catalog integrity issues.
  • New BOM CSV export is available from the 2D Network summary header (next to PNG).

UX / Navigation / Workspace

Home Workspace Polish

• Start panel renamed to Quick start.
• Workspace status badge renamed to ACTIVE.
• Quick start and Workspace panels stretch to full cell height.
• Quick start actions are bottom-aligned within the panel.
• Intro text spacing under panel descriptions was fixed.
• Active network line styling was improved for readability.

Shell / Navigation Behavior

• Navigation drawer and ops panel close behavior was hardened.
• Focus restoration and Escape handling were improved.
• Ops & Health no longer blocks clicks through empty panel space.
• Analysis/detail panel visibility now follows real selection state more consistently.

Validation Go to Behavior

• Go to now opens the correct Modeling context.
• Validation Go to exposes the analysis panel with the same behavior as table-row selection.
• Edit panels are refreshed through the actual edit handlers (avoids stale form state).

Catalog (Functional Details)

Catalog Screen

• Added dedicated ico_catalog icon.
• Catalog form panel is hidden when nothing is selected (no empty Catalog item form / Edit catalog item panel shown).
• Delete is disabled when the selected catalog item is in use by connectors/splices.

Catalog Analysis Panel

• Separate Connectors and Splices usage sections.
• Create Connector / Create Splice actions were moved under their respective usage lists.
• Usage rows navigate directly to Modeling create/edit flows.

Connector / Splice Form Integration

• Manufacturer selector labels now include the connection count in parentheses.
• Immediate validation is shown when selecting an incompatible catalog item in edit mode (breaking capacity reduction is blocked).

Default Catalog Seeds

• New networks now start with 3 default catalog items (deterministic names + unit prices).
• No re-seeding on reload, import, or migration.

Validation / Integrity

Theme and Readability Fixes

• Fixed hardcoded colors that were not theme-aware in Validation (including Issue filters, Route lock validity, and group headings).
• Vertically centered Validation table cell content.

Catalog Integrity Validation

• Added validation surfacing for catalog item issues and broken catalogItemId links.
• Added Go to support into Catalog for catalog-related validation issues.

Validation Samples

• Validation sample data now includes catalog items and catalog-linked connectors/splices.

Network Scope / Networks

Network Scope Table and Actions

• Removed forced table scrolling in Network Scope.
• Stretched action rows across the panel width.
• Added Catalog count badge in the Edit network panel counters.

Network Scope Form Visibility

• Removed implicit Edit network panel opening.
• Network form panel stays hidden until explicit user selection / create action.
• Fixed runtime CSS so hidden panels are actually hidden (this was visible in browser runtime but not caught by jsdom-based tests).

Network Summary / 2D Rendering

Header Actions

• Export PNG renamed to PNG.
• Export BOM CSV renamed to BOM.
• BOM button uses the shared CSV export icon.

2D Rendering Workflow

• Deeper zoom-out is supported.
• Callout positions persist.
• Callout spacing and dense callout rendering were improved.
• Per-network viewport/toggle persistence improves multi-network continuity.

Connectors / Splices / Wires / Filters

• Catalog-first workflow is enforced for new connector/splice creation (outside legacy fallback scenarios).
• Wire filter field selector defaults to Any.
• Shared filter clear action added to table filter bars.
• Free wire color mode support was extended, including a distinct unspecified state.

Settings / Onboarding

Onboarding

• Added a Catalog onboarding step before the connectors/splices library step (catalog-first workflow).
• Removed the Scroll to Edit catalog item CTA.

Settings

• Workspace panels layout setting is now disabled (still visible, not editable).

Product-Impacting Compatibility and Quality Hardening

• Persistence and migration coverage was extended for:
  • catalog data
  • legacy fallback conversion
  • per-network 2D view state
• UI/E2E regressions and fixtures were expanded for:
  • Catalog
  • BOM export
  • Validation Go to
  • Network Scope panel visibility
