v0.1.6 — The Visualization Release

Your project's memory is now something you can watch — and share. The dashboard grows from four tabs to six, every new view is rendered from the same real event log, and nothing new is required: zero new dependencies, no schema changes, no CLI changes.

🎬 Showoff — animated story scenes + built-in recorder

A new dashboard tab with three animated scenes, all driven by your real events:

• Story Replay — watch your project's history build itself, node by node; auto-loops, scrubber, live captions
• Orbit — files orbit the project, events orbit their file
• Universe — your project as a rotating galaxy; every bright star is a real issue, attempt, fix, or decision

Click any node for its real details — the field dims, a halo pulses, its connections light up. And hit REC (10–60 s) to download a .webm clip rendered 100% locally, with a toggleable "made with projectmem" badge baked in.

🗺️ Flow — the Project Map's new default view

A layered flowchart of the project story: PROJECT → DIRECTORIES → FILES → WHAT HAPPENED → MEMORY. Files with repeated failures glow red along their path, every file shows outcome chips, and everything flows into the events.jsonl cylinder — the append-only memory, drawn as what it is. Zoom, pan, auto-fit, and a new Hide details toggle. Tree and Graph remain one click away.

🧵 Time Spine — the Timeline's new default view

A real-time axis you scroll: day pills, "quiet gap" markers, problems branching left (issues, failed attempts) and knowledge branching right (fixes, decisions, notes). Hover any card and its whole issue thread stays lit. The classic list remains as Details.

🤝 Community: Story Map readability controls

This release includes #7 by @hanley-development (which also folds in #6 — thank you!): collapse dense files into draggable bubbles, collapse directories with drill-down, expand all, reset focus, reduced label noise, and correct linking for file-only locations.
