  • Canvas API page: comprehensive refresh — discovery JSON to the real v3.5 shape (rects/stream/atlas/effectDefs/openapi field, 22 ops, 10 effects), atlas state shape fixed, MQTT reference dropped, ?fmt claim corrected, panel example realistic, 507 list complete, section order fixed; fw 3.4 tags -> 3.5 everywhere (3.4 was never released separately)
