Brummel 21c1621bd0 docs,engine: drop coined "compilat", use FlatGraph / "flat graph"
"Compilat" (German "Kompilat") was a coined noun for the product of the
bootstrap compilation — neither English nor a natural fit. The runtime
artifact already has a code identifier for exactly this thing: the
`FlatGraph` struct (harness.rs). Replace the coinage with that identifier:

- prose mentions          -> "flat graph" (mirrors the type, reads plainly)
- definitional anchors    -> `FlatGraph` (C11, C23, the running-graph line)
- `render_compilat`       -> `render_flat_graph` (historical render symbol;
                             keeps the `render_blueprint` / `render_flat_graph`
                             source-vs-product pairing)
- `intra-compilat`        -> `intra-graph`
- `from_compilat` (test)  -> `from_flat`

"compilation" / "re-compilation" / "bootstrap-as-compilation" (the process,
ordinary English) are deliberately left untouched. Behaviour-preserving:
only comments, design ledger, specs/plans, one test-local variable and its
assert messages change. Full workspace test suite green; clippy clean.

Graph Render Viewer (cycle 0026, iteration 2) — Implementation Plan

Parent spec: docs/specs/0026-graph-render-redesign.md

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: use the implement skill to run this plan. Steps use - [ ] checkboxes for tracking.

Goal: Replace aura graph's ascii-dag output with a single self-contained HTML page — the ported prototype viewer (pin-graph via Graphviz-WASM) driven by the deterministic model serializer that shipped in iteration 1 — and retire ascii-dag from the workspace. Closes Gitea #51.

Architecture: aura graph calls a new read-only render_html(&Composite) (crate aura-cli, module render) that concatenates the prototype's <head> shell, the inlined vendored Graphviz-WASM + pan-zoom blobs, the inlined model JSON (aura_engine::model_to_json), and the inlined ported viewer JS into one .html on stdout. The viewer JS is the prototype's genDot/chrome verbatim, prefixed with a normalizeModel adapter that maps aura's real model tuple shape (post-0027 named inputs: ins = [kind, firing, name], index node keys, comp references, src_<role> sources) into the viewer's native shape. The old ascii-dag adapter (graph.rs), its dependency, the --compiled/--macd flag plumbing, and all 12 ascii-dag-asserting tests are deleted in one compile-coherent task. No eval/build on the render path (C9); no serde (C14); the four-colour palette stays the four scalar base types (C4); the viewer carries no authoring logic (C10).

Tech Stack: aura-cli (render.rs, main.rs, Cargo.toml, assets/, tests/cli_run.rs), aura-engine::model_to_json (consumed, unchanged), aura-core::node.rs (stale-prose tidy), docs/design/INDEX.md (ledger note). Vendored JS/WASM assets are checked in (see Task 1 rationale).


Files this plan creates or modifies

  • Create: crates/aura-cli/assets/graph-viewer.js — ported viewer (normalizeModel + verbatim genDot/chrome)
  • Create: crates/aura-cli/assets/viz-standalone.js — vendored @viz-js/viz@3.7.0 (Graphviz-WASM, ~1.38 MB, checked in)
  • Create: crates/aura-cli/assets/svg-pan-zoom.min.js — vendored svg-pan-zoom@3.6.1 (~30 KB, checked in)
  • Create: crates/aura-cli/assets/refresh-assets.sh — pinned-version refresh script (provenance; not run at build time)
  • Create: crates/aura-cli/src/render.rsrender_html(&Composite) -> String + smoke test
  • Modify: crates/aura-cli/src/main.rsmod render;; flip ["graph"] arm to render_html; delete --compiled/--macd graph arms, render_compiled, the color plumbing, USAGE; delete 12 ascii-dag tests + swapped_point/sample_point helpers; drop mod graph;
  • Modify: crates/aura-cli/Cargo.toml:16 — remove ascii-dag = "0.9.1"
  • Delete: crates/aura-cli/src/graph.rs — the 504-line ascii-dag adapter (incl. the stale #43 comment at :324)
  • Modify: crates/aura-cli/tests/cli_run.rs:164-185 — replace the ascii-dag fan-in test with the HTML-contract test
  • Modify: crates/aura-core/src/node.rs:150-157,196-199 — re-justify two stale ascii-dag prose references
  • Modify: docs/design/INDEX.md:694 — add the cycle-0026 render-redesign realization note

Task 1: Vendor the assets + port the viewer JS

Vendoring decision (orchestrator call, deferred by the spec): the blobs are checked into the repo, not git-ignored + fetched at build time. Substance: (a) render_html inlines the assets via include_str!, which requires them present at compile time — a build-time unpkg fetch makes the build non-hermetic and non-offline; (b) C8 freezes deploy artifacts and C1 demands determinism — a build that pulls a remote URL drifts with the registry and the network; (c) the shipped .html must be byte-deterministic for a given commit. A checked-in blob is the only shape satisfying all three. refresh-assets.sh records the pinned provenance for a future deliberate refresh; it is not part of the build. The ~1.4 MB cost is the price of a hermetic, frozen render asset.

The validated blobs already exist on disk in the prototype dir — copy them (no network fetch in this task).

Files:

  • Create: crates/aura-cli/assets/viz-standalone.js

  • Create: crates/aura-cli/assets/svg-pan-zoom.min.js

  • Create: crates/aura-cli/assets/refresh-assets.sh

  • Create: crates/aura-cli/assets/graph-viewer.js

  • Step 1: Create the assets dir and copy the two vendored blobs from the prototype

Run:

mkdir -p crates/aura-cli/assets
cp docs/design/prototypes/graph-render/viz-standalone.js   crates/aura-cli/assets/viz-standalone.js
cp docs/design/prototypes/graph-render/svg-pan-zoom.min.js crates/aura-cli/assets/svg-pan-zoom.min.js
wc -c crates/aura-cli/assets/viz-standalone.js crates/aura-cli/assets/svg-pan-zoom.min.js

Expected: viz-standalone.js1379750 bytes, svg-pan-zoom.min.js29768 bytes (both non-empty, copied).

If the prototype blobs are absent (a clean checkout that never ran the prototype's fetch-deps.sh), fetch them instead with the pinned URLs from Step 3 below, then re-run the wc -c check.

  • Step 2: Verify the assets are not git-ignored (they are checked in)

Run:

git check-ignore crates/aura-cli/assets/viz-standalone.js crates/aura-cli/assets/svg-pan-zoom.min.js; echo "exit=$?"

Expected: exit=1 (no path printed) — neither file is ignored, so both will be committed. If any path is printed, a parent .gitignore rule is catching them; do not add a crate-level .gitignore for these (unlike the prototype, the engine checks them in).

  • Step 3: Create the provenance refresh script

Create crates/aura-cli/assets/refresh-assets.sh:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Refresh the vendored graph-viewer assets. NOT run at build time — the blobs are
# checked into the repo so `include_str!` and the build stay hermetic/offline
# (C1/C8). Run this only to deliberately bump a pinned version, then commit the
# updated blobs. Mirrors the prototype's fetch-deps.sh.
set -euo pipefail
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
curl -fsSL "https://unpkg.com/@viz-js/viz@3.7.0/lib/viz-standalone.js"        -o viz-standalone.js
curl -fsSL "https://unpkg.com/svg-pan-zoom@3.6.1/dist/svg-pan-zoom.min.js"    -o svg-pan-zoom.min.js
echo "refreshed: viz-standalone.js (@viz-js/viz@3.7.0), svg-pan-zoom.min.js (svg-pan-zoom@3.6.1)"

Run:

chmod +x crates/aura-cli/assets/refresh-assets.sh
head -1 crates/aura-cli/assets/refresh-assets.sh

Expected: #!/usr/bin/env bash.

  • Step 4: Create the ported viewer crates/aura-cli/assets/graph-viewer.js

This is the prototype's index.html script (lines 43-256) verbatim, with the hardcoded model (prototype lines 52-100, the F/I/P/C/COMP/ROOT constants) replaced by normalizeModel(window.AURA_MODEL). genDot, cellLabel, addInfo, the tooltip/interaction chrome, and chrome()/show() are unchanged.

  • Step 5: Sanity-check the viewer asset for the load-bearing markers

Run:

grep -c "normalizeModel(window.AURA_MODEL)" crates/aura-cli/assets/graph-viewer.js
grep -F 'i64: "#f9e2af"' crates/aura-cli/assets/graph-viewer.js | head -1

Expected: first two print 1; the third prints the palette line (C4 four-colour table present). These substrings are asserted by the Task 2 / Task 3 tests, so they must be present contiguously.


Task 2: render_html module + smoke test (coexists with graph.rs)

render.rs is a new module that compiles alongside the still-present graph.rs — no retirement yet, so the workspace stays green. render_html is read-only (C9): it calls aura_engine::model_to_json (a pure &Composite -> String walk) and string-concatenates the inlined assets. No eval, no build, no serde.

Files:

  • Create: crates/aura-cli/src/render.rs

  • Modify: crates/aura-cli/src/main.rs:9 (add mod render;)

  • Test: crates/aura-cli/src/render.rs (the #[cfg(test)] smoke test)

  • Step 1: Create crates/aura-cli/src/render.rs

Create crates/aura-cli/src/render.rs:

//! Self-contained HTML graph viewer assembly (C9: read-only render path).
//!
//! `render_html` walks the blueprint into the deterministic JSON model
//! (`aura_engine::model_to_json`) and inlines it, the vendored Graphviz-WASM, the
//! pan-zoom helper, and the ported viewer JS into one standalone `.html`. The
//! emitted page fetches nothing at view time. No `eval`/build is on this path
//! (C9); the model is hand-rolled JSON (C14, owned by `model_to_json`).

  • Step 2: Declare the module

In crates/aura-cli/src/main.rs, add mod render; immediately after the existing mod graph; at line 9:

mod graph;
mod render;

(Both modules coexist this task; graph is retired in Task 3.)

  • Step 3: Build and run the smoke test

Run:

cargo test -p aura-cli render_html_is_self_contained_and_embeds_the_model

Expected: PASS (test result: ok. 1 passed). The model golden contract is unchanged, so cargo build --workspace stays green with graph.rs still present.


Task 3: Retire ascii-dag (atomic — flip aura graph, delete graph.rs + dep + dead tests/helpers)

This is one compile-coherent unit: removing graph.rs and the ascii-dag dep breaks every graph:: reference (the production arms + 12 tests) at once, so the "0 errors" build gate is only satisfiable when all of them are removed in the same task (planner self-review item 7 — signature/removal-breaks-all-callers).

Files:

  • Modify: crates/aura-cli/src/main.rs (graph arm, flags, render_compiled, color, USAGE, mod graph;, 12 tests, swapped_point/sample_point helpers)

  • Modify: crates/aura-cli/Cargo.toml:16 (remove ascii-dag)

  • Delete: crates/aura-cli/src/graph.rs

  • Modify: crates/aura-cli/tests/cli_run.rs:164-185 (replace the ascii-dag fan-in test)

  • Step 1: Flip the ["graph"] arm and delete the --compiled/--macd graph arms

In crates/aura-cli/src/main.rs, the match block (lines 379-395) currently reads:

    match args.iter().map(String::as_str).collect::<Vec<_>>().as_slice() {
        ["run"] => println!("{}", run_sample().to_json()),
        ["run", "--macd"] => println!("{}", run_macd().to_json()),
        ["graph"] => println!("{}", graph::render_blueprint(&sample_blueprint(), color)),
        ["graph", "--compiled"] => {
            println!("{}", render_compiled(sample_blueprint(), &sample_point(), color));
        }
        ["graph", "--macd"] => println!("{}", graph::render_blueprint(&macd_blueprint(), color)),
        ["graph", "--macd", "--compiled"] => {
            println!("{}", render_compiled(macd_blueprint(), &macd_point(), color));
        }
        ["--help"] | ["-h"] => println!("{USAGE}"),
        _ => {
            eprintln!("aura: {USAGE}");
            std::process::exit(2);
        }
    }

Replace it with (only run/run --macd/graph/help survive; graph emits the HTML viewer via print! since render_html ends with a newline):

    match args.iter().map(String::as_str).collect::<Vec<_>>().as_slice() {
        ["run"] => println!("{}", run_sample().to_json()),
        ["run", "--macd"] => println!("{}", run_macd().to_json()),
        ["graph"] => print!("{}", render::render_html(&sample_blueprint())),
        ["--help"] | ["-h"] => println!("{USAGE}"),
        _ => {
            eprintln!("aura: {USAGE}");
            std::process::exit(2);
        }
    }
  • Step 2: Delete the color plumbing and the render_compiled helper

In crates/aura-cli/src/main.rs, delete the color binding (lines 372-378):

    // Edge colouring only when stdout is an interactive terminal; a redirect to a
    // file or pipe stays plain (no escape codes). `run` output is JSON, never coloured.
    let color = if std::io::stdout().is_terminal() {
        graph::Color::Ansi
    } else {
        graph::Color::Plain
    };

And delete the render_compiled helper (lines 358-363):

/// Compile a blueprint under its point vector and render the flat post-inline
/// (C23) view — the shared body of the `--compiled` paths.
fn render_compiled(bp: Composite, point: &[Scalar], color: graph::Color) -> String {
    let flat = bp.compile_with_params(point).expect("valid blueprint");
    graph::render_flat_graph(&flat.nodes, &flat.sources, &flat.edges, color)
}

If is_terminal/IsTerminal was imported only for the color binding, its use becomes unused — remove it (clippy will name it in Step 7; the import is near the top of main.rs).

  • Step 3: Shrink the USAGE string (drop the retired graph flags)

In crates/aura-cli/src/main.rs:365, replace:

const USAGE: &str = "usage: aura run [--macd] | aura graph [--compiled | --macd [--compiled]]";

with:

const USAGE: &str = "usage: aura run [--macd] | aura graph";
  • Step 4: Drop mod graph; and delete the file

In crates/aura-cli/src/main.rs:9, remove the mod graph; line (leaving mod render;). Then (plain rm, not git rm — the deletion stays unstaged with the rest of the iter's work for the orchestrator to commit):

rm crates/aura-cli/src/graph.rs

Expected: graph.rs removed (this also retires the stale #43 comment at :324, which dies with the file).

  • Step 5: Delete the 12 ascii-dag-asserting tests + the orphaned swapped_point/sample_point helpers

In crates/aura-cli/src/main.rs's #[cfg(test)] mod tests, delete these test functions in full (each asserts retired ascii-dag output and references graph::render_blueprint / graph::render_flat_graph / graph::Color):

blueprint_view_main_graph_shows_composite_as_opaque_node   (~409-425)
blueprint_view_defines_each_composite_once                 (~427-435)
nested_composite_renders_without_panic                     (~437-473)
reused_composite_defined_once                              (~475-501)
compiled_view_dissolves_the_composite_boundary             (~503-512)
swapped_param_vector_changes_the_compiled_render           (~514-527)
blueprint_view_golden                                      (~529-566)
compiled_view_golden                                       (~568-593)
macd_blueprint_renders_a_nested_composite_definition       (~619-646)
fan_in_identifiers_are_source_derived_and_scoped_per_node_call (~648-670)
fan_in_identifiers_descend_into_bare_combinators           (~672-723)
ansi_colour_emits_escapes_only_when_requested              (~725-735)

Keep every test that does not reference graph::: run_macd_compiles_from_nested_composite_and_is_deterministic (~595-617), macd_param_space_surfaces_the_three_named_aliases (~743-759), run_sample_is_deterministic_and_non_trivial (~761+).

Then delete the now-orphaned test helper swapped_point (~405-407, used only by the deleted swapped_param_vector_changes_the_compiled_render).

Completeness check — no graph:: reference may survive in the file:

grep -n "graph::" crates/aura-cli/src/main.rs; echo "exit=$?"

Expected: exit=1 (no matches). Any surviving match is a test the deletion list missed — remove it.

  • Step 6: Remove the ascii-dag dependency

In crates/aura-cli/Cargo.toml, delete line 16:

ascii-dag = "0.9.1"
  • Step 7: Build + clippy; remove whatever dead-code/unused-import the gate names

sample_point() (main.rs ~199) loses its last caller when the compiled-view tests go (its only uses were the --compiled arm + the deleted tests). The dead_code lint under -D warnings will name it and any import (e.g. graph-only or IsTerminal-only uses, the fixture imports Role/Target/ Edge/OutField/BlueprintNode/ParamAlias/Sub/Ema/Sma/Exposure/ sma_cross used only by the deleted tests) that is now unused.

Run, then delete each item the lint names, and re-run until clean:

cargo build --workspace
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings

Expected (final): cargo build 0 errors; clippy 0 warnings. Remove sample_point and every unused use clippy reports; do not remove macd_blueprint, macd_point, run_macd (still used by the kept tests / run --macd arm) or sample_blueprint/build_sample (used by the graph arm + render test).

  • Step 8: Replace the integration test that pinned the old ascii-dag output

In crates/aura-cli/tests/cli_run.rs, the test graph_renders_source_derived_fan_in_identifiers (lines 164-185) asserts the retired ascii-dag notation ([cross := Sub(#Sf,#Ss)]) and now fails. Replace the entire test (its doc-comment + function) with the HTML-contract test:

/// Property: `aura graph` emits a single self-contained HTML page — the
/// interactive pin-graph viewer with the deterministic model inlined and the
/// vendored Graphviz-WASM + pan-zoom inlined (no remote fetch). Driven through
/// the built binary so it pins the observable CLI contract. The DOT/SVG are
/// Graphviz-version-dependent and not asserted (the prototype is the by-hand
/// visual reference); this pins the page envelope + the retirement of the old
/// ascii-dag notation.
#[test]
fn graph_emits_self_contained_html_viewer() {
    let out = Command::new(BIN).arg("graph").output().expect("spawn aura graph");
    assert_eq!(out.status.code(), Some(0), "`aura graph` exit: {:?}", out.status);
    let stdout = String::from_utf8(out.stdout).expect("utf-8 stdout");
    // a self-contained HTML document...
    assert!(
        stdout.trim_start().starts_with("<!doctype html>"),
        "not an HTML doc: {:?}",
        &stdout[..stdout.len().min(80)]
    );
    // ...with the deterministic model inlined as the viewer's data source...
    assert!(stdout.contains("window.AURA_MODEL = {\"root\":"), "model not inlined: {stdout:?}");
    // ...the Graphviz-WASM bootstrap present, and no remote asset fetch.
    assert!(stdout.contains("Viz.instance"), "viewer bootstrap missing");
    assert!(!stdout.contains("<script src"), "assets must be inlined, found remote <script src>");
    // the retired ascii-dag invented notation is gone.
    assert!(!stdout.contains("Sub(#Sf,#Ss)"), "retired ascii-dag notation must be gone: {stdout}");
}
  • Step 9: Full gate — build, test, lint, dep-tree, file-gone

Run:

cargo build --workspace
cargo test --workspace
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo tree -p aura-cli 2>/dev/null | grep -i ascii-dag; echo "ascii-dag-grep-exit=$?"
test ! -e crates/aura-cli/src/graph.rs && echo "graph.rs gone"

Expected: build 0 errors; cargo test --workspace all green (every test that ran passed, and the new graph_emits_self_contained_html_viewer + render_html_is_self_contained_and_embeds_the_model are among them — confirm both names appear in the test output, not "0 ran"); clippy 0 warnings; ascii-dag-grep-exit=1 (ascii-dag absent from the dep tree); graph.rs gone.


Task 4: Tidy the two stale ascii-dag prose references in aura-core

The cycle retires ascii-dag; these two comments in crates/aura-core/src/node.rs are its last prose footprint and carry now-false justifications (the second already false since cycle 0017 dropped cluster boxes). The label() single-line rule stays true (an HTML-table cell label is still one line) but is re-justified generically; the param-generic rule is re-justified on C23, not on an ascii-dag limitation. Methods and assertions are unchanged — prose only.

Files:

  • Modify: crates/aura-core/src/node.rs:154 and :198-199

  • Step 1: Re-justify the Node::label() single-line constraint (~line 150-157)

Replace:

    /// A one-line, **non-load-bearing** render label (C23): a debug symbol for
    /// tracing / graph rendering (#13), never read by the run loop and never
    /// part of wiring (which is by index). Overrides SHOULD carry the node's
    /// identifying params so identical node types disambiguate (`SMA(2)` vs
    /// `SMA(4)`). MUST be single-line (no `\n`): ascii-dag breaks box drawing on
    /// a multiline label. The default is a placeholder; every shipped node
    /// overrides it. Returns an owned `String` and takes `&self`, so `Node`
    /// stays object-safe and `Box<dyn Node>::label()` dispatches.

with:

    /// A one-line, **non-load-bearing** render label (C23): a debug symbol for
    /// tracing / graph rendering (#13), never read by the run loop and never
    /// part of wiring (which is by index). Overrides SHOULD carry the node's
    /// identifying params so identical node types disambiguate (`SMA(2)` vs
    /// `SMA(4)`). MUST be single-line (no `\n`): the graph render draws each
    /// label in one cell. The default is a placeholder; every shipped node
    /// overrides it. Returns an owned `String` and takes `&self`, so `Node`
    /// stays object-safe and `Box<dyn Node>::label()` dispatches.
  • Step 2: Re-justify the param-generic builder-label test comment (~line 196-199)

Replace:

    fn primitive_builder_label_is_the_bare_type() {
        // param-generic: the label is just the node type, no knob suffix (the
        // ascii-dag blueprint view cannot render wide cluster-sibling labels).

with:

    fn primitive_builder_label_is_the_bare_type() {
        // param-generic: the label is just the node type, no knob suffix — the
        // blueprint view is param-generic (C23), values appear only post-compile.
  • Step 3: Verify no ascii-dag prose remains in the workspace source

Run:

grep -rni "ascii-dag\|ascii_dag" crates/ ; echo "exit=$?"

Expected: exit=1 (no matches) — the dep, the adapter, and the prose are all gone. (Cargo.lock may still list it transitively until regenerated; the build in Task 3 Step 9 already regenerated it — if it appears there only, that is the lockfile and not a source reference.)

  • Step 4: Build + test aura-core to confirm the prose edits compile

Run:

cargo test -p aura-core

Expected: PASS (prose-only change; all aura-core tests green).


Task 5: Ledger realization note (cycle 0026)

Add one consolidated realization note for cycle 0026 (both iterations: the model serializer + the WASM-Graphviz viewer) to the C9 section of the design ledger, right after the cycle-0024 render-lineage note.

Files:

  • Modify: docs/design/INDEX.md:694 (insert after the cycle-0024 realization note, before ### C20)

  • Step 1: Insert the realization note

In docs/design/INDEX.md, after the paragraph ending at line 694 (…the C8 0024 realization).) and before the blank line preceding ### C20 — Strategy ↔ harness (line 696), insert:


**Realization (cycle 0026 — graph render redesign: model + WASM-Graphviz viewer,
#51).** `aura graph` no longer renders ASCII. The render path is now two pieces:
a read-only **model serializer** (`aura_engine::model_to_json`, iteration 1) that
walks the root composite + every distinct composite type into a deterministic,
hand-rolled JSON model (C14, golden-tested like `RunReport::to_json`; the
swapped-param mis-wire property moved here from the old compiled-view test), and a
**self-contained HTML viewer** (`aura-cli::render::render_html`, iteration 2) that
inlines that model, the ported prototype viewer JS, and a vendored Graphviz-WASM
blob into one page emitted to stdout. Layout/SVG happen in the browser via
WebAssembly — aura ships no layout engine and stays a serializer (C9: graph-as-data,
no `eval`/build on the path). The viewer is a render asset (C10 — no node/strategy
logic, no DSL); it labels every input pin from the model's now-real names (C23
debug symbols, named in cycle 0027) and colours wires by the four scalar base
types (C4). This **retires `ascii-dag`** and its adapter (`graph.rs`), the
`--compiled`/`--macd` flag plumbing, and the invented `#Sf`/`:=`/`histogram →`
notation — superseding the cycle-0017 flat-ascii model and its renderer-defect
workaround. The DOT/SVG are Graphviz-version-dependent and not golden-tested; the
deterministic JSON model is the asserted contract.
  • Step 2: Confirm the note placed cleanly

Run:

grep -n "Realization (cycle 0026" docs/design/INDEX.md
grep -n "### C20 — Strategy" docs/design/INDEX.md

Expected: the 0026 note line number is immediately above (a few lines before) the ### C20 line — the insertion sits at the end of the C9 section, not inside C20.


Iteration done-state

After Task 5, the working tree carries: the new assets + render.rs, the retired graph.rs + dep + flags + tests, the prose tidy, and the ledger note — all unstaged. The full gate (Task 3 Step 9) is green: cargo build --workspace 0 errors, cargo test --workspace all green (model golden unchanged; the two new HTML tests present), cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings clean, ascii-dag absent from the dep tree. The orchestrator inspects the diff and commits (suggested subject: feat(aura-cli): render the graph as a self-contained WASM-Graphviz viewer; retire ascii-dag, body closes #51).
