Summary

Phase 2 of #2670. A loop/parallel/try_catch container card now expands in place: the chevron grows the card to embed its region(s) as a read-only mini-canvas, and the canvas layout pushes the layers below down by the card's true height — real spatial nesting (the Power-Automate/BPMN-subprocess model), replacing the Phase-1 floating popover (#2675, merged but never released — the changeset is rewritten in place, so only the final behavior ever ships).

Chosen over keeping the popover per the product direction (long-term platform correctness + best UX): inline nesting is the durable canvas model and the substrate the upcoming nested selection/inspector increment needs; a transient popover can't host persistent selection state.

What changed (3 commits, each independently green)

  1. computeLayoutWithGeometry (flow-canvas-layout.ts) — the layered layout's fixed l × (NODE_H + V_GAP) pitch becomes cumulative: each layer starts below the tallest auto-laid card of the previous occupied layer (empty layer indices keep the historical pitch). Returns { positions, heights, size }; computeLayout is now a thin constant-height wrapper — byte-identical output, locked by invariance tests over five graph shapes (linear / diamond / back-edge / cycle island / manual-ui). bottomAnchor(p, height = NODE_H) lets an expanded card's outgoing edge leave from its true bottom; default keeps all existing call sites + symbolic anchor tests untouched.
  2. flow-region-metrics.ts (new, pure) — the deterministic box model shared by the height predictor and the region renderer (no ResizeObserver, no measure-then-reflow): predictRegionsHeight / predictExpandedNodeHeight mirror the renderer with the same float expressions. flow-region-view.tsx's height stack becomes explicit px sourced from this module (rem/font-metric drift eliminated; visual no-op at the 16px root).
  3. Inline expansionNodeCard gains controlled expanded/onToggleExpand/height (the same number the layout used to position everything below, so DOM and layout cannot disagree) and renders the region tray below its NODE_H header band; FlowCanvas owns expandedIds (session-only view state, never written to the draft), memoized regionsByNode, nodeHeights, edge-layer true-bottom anchors (back-edges stay header-anchored so toggling never swings arcs), and height-aware reveal centering.

Collapsed by default → flows with no expanded container render exactly as before. Legacy flat loops (no config.body) and ordinary nodes are untouched.

Verification

  • Unit/render: 35/35 across flow-canvas-layout.test.ts (constant-height invariance ×5 graphs, cumulative offsets, tall-bottom sizing, manual-node exclusion), flow-region-metrics.test.ts (formula pinned, never-upscale), FlowCanvas.test.tsx (inline expand/collapse containment, parallel labels, legacy loop, and a push-down assertion: the layer below moves by exactly predictExpandedNodeHeight − NODE_H and the card renders at exactly the predicted height).
  • turbo type-check 29/29 · ESLint 0 errors.
  • Browser matrix (Playwright, offline preview gallery) — 21/21 PASS: collapsed baseline (66px cards, siblings share row) → expand all three container types (loop body / named+indexed parallel branches / Try+Catch trays) → push-down with no overlap, sibling row intact, chained containers → fit-to-view with tall cards → collapse round-trip restores pitch → dragging an expanded container → insert-on-edge still works. Measured expanded card height 274.8px == predictor output exactly.

Notes / accepted limitations

  • A node pinned via manual drag (node.ui) sitting at/below an expanded container can overlap it (manual positions are absolute; pinned nodes are deliberately excluded from row heights to avoid phantom gaps). Documented in JSDoc + changeset; drag it clear or collapse.
  • The popover's max-h-[60vh] scroll valve is gone — a pathological many-branch container makes a very tall card; the canvas pans/zooms and size grows correctly.
  • At minimum zoom the region content is double-scaled (fit-to-width × canvas zoom ≈ 29%) — acceptable for a read-only preview; noted for the Phase-3 inspector work.

Next increments on #2670 (not in this PR): nested selection + structured region inspector, nested editing, recursive expansion, side-by-side parallel branches, client-side region validation. This PR does not close #2670.

…Geometry)

#2670 Phase 2 groundwork. Cards are about to become variable-height (an
expanded loop/parallel/try_catch container grows to embed its regions), so the
layered layout's fixed `l * (NODE_H + V_GAP)` pitch becomes CUMULATIVE: each
layer starts below the tallest auto-laid card of the previous occupied layer
(empty layer indices keep the historical pitch so degenerate cyclic graphs are
unchanged too).

- New `computeLayoutWithGeometry(nodes, edges, heightOf?)` returning
  { positions, heights, size }; `computeLayout` is now a thin constant-height
  wrapper — its output is IDENTICAL to before, locked by invariance tests over
  five graph shapes (linear / diamond / back-edge / cycle island / manual ui).
- Manual-`ui` nodes are excluded from a row's height (they don't render in
  their computed slot) — a pinned node at/below an expanded container can
  overlap it; accepted + documented.
- `bottomAnchor(p, height = NODE_H)` so an expanded container's outgoing edge
  can leave from its true bottom; default keeps every existing call site and
  the symbolic anchor tests untouched.

…renderer

#2670 Phase 2. An expanded container's height must be known BEFORE render (the
layout pushes lower layers down with no measure-then-reflow pass), so predictor
and renderer must agree to the pixel:

- New pure `flow-region-metrics.ts` — the shared box-model constants
  (block border/padding, pinned 16px label row, region gap, tray chrome,
  EXPANDED_REGION_MAX_W) plus `predictRegionsHeight` / `predictExpandedNodeHeight`,
  mirroring the renderer with the same float expressions (no rounding skew).
  Imports only from flow-canvas-layout — dependency stays one-directional.
- `flow-region-view.tsx` — every height-stack dimension becomes an explicit px
  style sourced from the metrics module (rem-based `gap-2`/`p-1.5` and the
  font-metric label line-height would drift): visual no-op at the 16px root
  font, but now exactly predictable.
- Unit tests pin the formula (empty → NODE_H; single unlabeled body ≈187.4px;
  per-branch label row + gap; never-upscale; wide-region downscale).

…(replaces Phase-1 popover)

#2670 Phase 2. A loop/parallel/try_catch container card now expands IN PLACE:
the chevron grows the card to embed its region(s) as a read-only mini-canvas
(FlowRegionView at EXPANDED_REGION_MAX_W), and the geometry-aware layout pushes
the layers below down by the card's true height. Collapsed by default;
expansion is session-only FlowCanvas state (never written to the draft).

- NodeCard: controlled `expanded`/`onToggleExpand` + `height` (the SAME number
  the layout used to position everything below — DOM and layout cannot
  disagree); header band pinned at NODE_H; `data-node-id` hook; the Phase-1
  popover block is removed (chevron now toggles inline; Popover imports stay —
  NodePalette uses them).
- FlowCanvas: `expandedIds` view state, memoized `regionsByNode` (also fixes
  per-render extractRegions identity churn), `nodeHeights` via
  predictExpandedNodeHeight, layout switched to computeLayoutWithGeometry;
  expanded source cards' outgoing edges leave from their true bottom
  (back-edges stay header-anchored so toggling never swings arcs); reveal
  centering uses real heights.
- Tests: inline expand/collapse containment (not portaled), parallel branch
  labels, legacy flat loop unchanged, and a push-down assertion — the layer
  below moves by exactly predictExpandedNodeHeight − NODE_H and the card
  renders at exactly the predicted height.
- Changeset rewritten for the shipped behavior (Phase-1 popover was never
  released); documents the manual-position overlap limitation.
