Ground-up rework of the unusably busy first cut. A new atlas_layout
service lays the evidence graph out in camera-independent unit space:
radii stay pinned to evidenced hop distance (the atlas's core question)
while angles relax toward each node's strength-weighted neighbour mean —
chains straighten into spokes, clusters gather into wedges — then each
ring enforces a minimum angular separation. Deterministic throughout, so
the mesh keeps its shape across rebuilds.
The screen becomes a camera over that layout, with the street map's
exact controls: arrows pan (Shift fine, clamped so the graph can't be
lost), PgUp/PgDn zoom 1–12x, Home refits, and every letter feeds a
find-as-you-type filter — matches labelled bright white over dimmed
context, Enter adopting the first match. Tab walks the selection
(recentring it when off-screen), Ctrl+R rebuilds, Esc peels find →
selection → screen. Hop rings draw as faint dotted guides, and the
label budget grows with the zoom's square, so 1x is a calm overview and
zooming in is what buys the detail. Panel and footer rows all fit 72
columns.
