[Date TBD] - Task Created

Summary

Task documentation created for Node Graph Visual Improvements based on product planning discussion.

Files Created

• dev-docs/tasks/phase-3/TASK-010-node-graph-visual/README.md - Full task specification
• dev-docs/tasks/phase-3/TASK-010-node-graph-visual/CHECKLIST.md - Implementation checklist
• dev-docs/tasks/phase-3/TASK-010-node-graph-visual/CHANGELOG.md - This file
• dev-docs/tasks/phase-3/TASK-010-node-graph-visual/NOTES.md - Working notes

Context

Discussion identified three key areas for improvement:

1. Nodes look dated (sharp corners, flat colors)
2. No way to document individual nodes with comments
3. Dense nodes with many ports become hard to read

Decision made to implement as three sub-tasks that can be tackled incrementally.
