v3.6.9 — UI/UX Overhaul, Top Mode, Grid Rework & Dev Mode

This release consolidates a large stretch of work that hadn't reached GitHub since v3.5.4 — UI/UX polish, a Map View overhaul, a renamed and improved presentation mode, a rebuilt grid system, and a new Developer Mode.

Highlights

Visual polish

• New violet accent theme, entrance/camera animations on board open, staggered card and connection reveal
• Grid system rebuilt from dots to a major/minor line grid (Blender/Houdini-style blueprint look) across both Board View and Map View
• Fixed a grid rendering bug where zooming out caused lines to visually merge into a white wash

Top Mode (formerly Mood Lock)

• Renamed and reworked distraction-free mode — press Tab (or Ctrl+Shift+F) to hide all UI
• Minimal hover-reveal chrome (just title + window controls, not the full toolbar)
• Persistent on-screen indicator so it's always clear when Top Mode is active
• Window can now resize much smaller while Top Mode or Auto-hide Toolbar is active

New Developer Mode (Settings → Developer)

• FPS / render-time overlay
• Card and connection ID overlay
• Manual diagnostics trigger
• Bulk test-card generator for stress-testing
• One-click debug-info export for bug reports

Fixes

• Legacy .kanvaz file format migration (older files now open correctly instead of failing silently)
• Recovery dialog no longer appears on normal app restarts
• Drag-drop and paste now arrange multiple images in a grid instead of stacking
• WCAG contrast fixes for text readability
• Grid snap added for resizing (Settings → Behavior)
• Rebuilt the automated port-alignment test suite to run reliably across platforms
