# TASK-000J Changelog ## Overview This changelog tracks the implementation of the Canvas Organization System, including Smart Frames, Canvas Navigation, Vertical Snap + Push, and Connection Labels. ### Implementation Phases 1. **Phase 1**: Smart Frames 2. **Phase 2**: Canvas Navigation 3. **Phase 3**: Vertical Snap + Push 4. **Phase 4**: Connection Labels --- ## [Date TBD] - Task Created ### Summary Task documentation created for Canvas Organization System. ### Files Created - `dev-docs/tasks/phase-3/TASK-000J-canvas-organization/README.md` - Full task specification - `dev-docs/tasks/phase-3/TASK-000J-canvas-organization/CHECKLIST.md` - Implementation checklist - `dev-docs/tasks/phase-3/TASK-000J-canvas-organization/CHANGELOG.md` - This file - `dev-docs/tasks/phase-3/TASK-000J-canvas-organization/NOTES.md` - Working notes ### Context This task was created to address canvas organization challenges in complex node graphs. The primary issues being solved: 1. Vertical node expansion breaking carefully arranged layouts 2. No persistent groupings for related nodes 3. Difficulty navigating large canvases 4. Undocumented connection data flow The design prioritizes backward compatibility with existing projects and opt-in complexity. --- ## Template for Future Entries ```markdown ## [YYYY-MM-DD] - Session N.X: [Phase/Feature Name] ### Summary [Brief description of what was accomplished] ### Files Created - `path/to/file.tsx` - [Purpose] ### Files Modified - `path/to/file.ts` - [What changed and why] ### Technical Notes - [Key decisions made] - [Patterns discovered] - [Gotchas encountered] ### Testing Notes - [What was tested] - [Any edge cases discovered] ### Next Steps - [What needs to be done next] ``` --- ## Progress Summary | Phase | Feature | Status | Date Started | Date Completed | |-------|---------|--------|--------------|----------------| | 1.1 | Data Model Extension | Not Started | - | - | | 1.2 | Basic Containment - Drag In | Not Started | - | - | | 1.3 | Basic Containment - Drag Out | Not Started | - | - | | 1.4 | Group Movement | Not Started | - | - | | 1.5 | Auto-Resize | Not Started | - | - | | 1.6 | Collapse UI | Not Started | - | - | | 1.7 | Collapsed Rendering | Not Started | - | - | | 1.8 | Polish & Edge Cases | Not Started | - | - | | 2.1 | Minimap Component Structure | Not Started | - | - | | 2.2 | Coordinate Transformation | Not Started | - | - | | 2.3 | Viewport and Click Navigation | Not Started | - | - | | 2.4 | Toggle and Integration | Not Started | - | - | | 2.5 | Jump Menu | Not Started | - | - | | 3.1 | Attachment Data Model | Not Started | - | - | | 3.2 | Edge Proximity Detection | Not Started | - | - | | 3.3 | Visual Feedback | Not Started | - | - | | 3.4 | Attachment Creation | Not Started | - | - | | 3.5 | Push Calculation | Not Started | - | - | | 3.6 | Detachment | Not Started | - | - | | 3.7 | Alignment Guides | Not Started | - | - | | 4.1 | Bezier Utilities | Not Started | - | - | | 4.2 | Data Model Extension | Not Started | - | - | | 4.3 | Hover State and Add Icon | Not Started | - | - | | 4.4 | Inline Label Input | Not Started | - | - | | 4.5 | Label Rendering | Not Started | - | - | | 4.6 | Label Interaction | Not Started | - | - | --- ## Blockers Log _Track any blockers encountered during implementation_ | Date | Blocker | Resolution | Time Lost | |------|---------|------------|-----------| | - | - | - | - | --- ## Performance Notes _Track any performance observations_ | Scenario | Observation | Action Taken | |----------|-------------|--------------| | Many nodes in Smart Frame | - | - | | Minimap with 10+ frames | - | - | | Long attachment chains | - | - | | Many connection labels | - | - | --- ## Design Decisions Log _Record important design decisions and their rationale_ | Date | Decision | Rationale | Alternatives Considered | |------|----------|-----------|-------------------------| | - | Smart Frames extend Comments | Backward compatibility;
