v0.22.0

A feature release (issue #330, the first of three playback releases): during a run, the canvas now shows what moved where — the path a Gate took, +N badges beside up to 24 moving markers per step, and Focus mode applying to the playback on connections. Its full notes are in CHANGELOG.md and in the app's Help → What's new.

Source and web release, no install files. There is nothing to download or install from this page: use the app at https://cozy-loop-studio.pages.dev (it can also be installed from the browser as a web app). The attached archives are GitHub's automatic snapshots of the source code.

No migration. Files, share links, digests and simulation results are unchanged; only what a run draws on the canvas changes. Monte Carlo draws no moving markers, as before. The informational meta.tool string is now loop-studio/0.22.0.

New in playback

• The path a Gate took. For every Gate, deterministic or probabilistic, each branch that actually carries something in a step is highlighted during the step; several branches can be highlighted at once. A branch that carries nothing keeps its usual look.
• +N beside the moving marker. The round marker still travels along each connection that moves, and the amount it carries in the step now always shows beside it as a +N badge, starting from +1. Before, a bare number sat above the marker only when the amount was above 1. The badge is drawn above every connection label; when zoomed far out, the badge is left out together with the marker, as the marker already was.
• A connection's own label stays where it is. It fades only while the moving marker or its badge passes over it; in forced colours, it temporarily hides instead.
• At most 24 markers in a busy step. Up to 24 marker-and-badge pairs move in one step, instead of the previous 60 moving cues; every other connection that moved is highlighted and shows its arrival instead.
• Focus mode applies to the playback. With Focus on, the highlights, markers, badges and arrival cues on connections outside the focus fade along with those connections.
• Reduced motion and forced colours. With reduced motion, nothing travels: the connections that moved, their arrival marks and their +N badges stay in place, without animation, for the step. In forced colours (such as Windows high contrast) the highlight is a wider line, the badge uses the system colours, a label gives way while it is covered, and outside the focus the cues are dashed instead of faded.

Notes

Five release-note lines in 18 languages, 16 of them without native-speaker review. The changes are covered by automated tests of both kinds of Gate, the +N badge, the label rule, Focus mode, the 24-marker limit, reduced motion and the forced-colours forms, and by an automated check of the production build on desktop and phone. Automated verification is recorded in #341. Issue #330 stays open for the next two playback releases.
