Implements comprehensive group minimize/maximize functionality and migrates
to React Flow v12 (@xyflow/react) with improved edge routing.
## Group Minimize/Maximize Features:
- Minimized groups render as compact 220×80px solid rectangles
- Original dimensions preserved in metadata and restored on maximize
- Child actors hidden (not filtered) to prevent React Flow state issues
- Solid color backgrounds (transparency removed for minimized state)
- Internal edges filtered out when group is minimized
- Dimension sync before minimize ensures correct size on maximize
## Floating Edges:
- Dynamic edge routing for connections to/from minimized groups
- Edges connect to closest point on minimized group border
- Regular actors maintain fixed handle connections
- Smooth transitions when toggling group state
## React Flow v12 Migration:
- Updated package from 'reactflow' to '@xyflow/react'
- Changed imports to named imports (ReactFlow is now named)
- Updated CSS imports to '@xyflow/react/dist/style.css'
- Fixed NodeProps/EdgeProps to use full Node/Edge types
- Added Record<string, unknown> to data interfaces for v12 compatibility
- Replaced useStore(state => state.connectionNodeId) with useConnection()
- Updated nodeInternals to nodeLookup (renamed in v12)
- Fixed event handler types for v12 API changes
## Edge Label Improvements:
- Added explicit z-index (1000) to edge labels via EdgeLabelRenderer
- Labels now properly render above edge paths
## Type Safety & Code Quality:
- Removed all 'any' type assertions in useDocumentHistory
- Fixed missing React Hook dependencies
- Fixed unused variable warnings
- All ESLint checks passing (0 errors, 0 warnings)
- TypeScript compilation clean
## Bug Fixes:
- Group drag positions now properly persisted to store
- Minimized group styling (removed dotted border, padding)
- Node visibility using 'hidden' property instead of array filtering
- Dimension sync prevents actors from disappearing on maximize

Implemented image export functionality using html-to-image that actually
slaps. No more bloated screenshots with miles of blank space - this baby
wraps your graph tighter than shrink wrap on a fresh deck.
Features:
- PNG export with proper 300 DPI quality (4x pixelRatio)
- SVG vector export for infinite scaling
- Smart bounds calculation that hugs your nodes
- Configurable padding (default: 10px of breathing room)
- Accessible via File menu
Technical highlights:
- Direct transform calculation instead of getViewportForBounds bloat
- Proper pixelRatio handling (not that 16x scaling nonsense)
- Based on React Flow's official pattern but actually optimized
- Uses html-to-image@1.11.11 (newer versions are broken)
Export quality goes hard. Print-ready PNGs. Crisp. Clean. Chef's kiss.

Fixed selection state inconsistency when adding nodes or edges. Previously,
both the new item and previously selected items would remain selected due to
a race condition between Zustand store updates and ReactFlow state syncing.
Changes:
- Added pendingSelectionRef to track items that should be selected after
Zustand sync completes
- Modified useEffect sync logic to preserve selection state normally, but
apply pending selection when new items are added
- Unified node creation logic between context menu and left panel to ensure
consistent behavior
- When adding nodes/edges, all other items are now properly deselected
The fix ensures selection state lives only in ReactFlow (not Zustand) and
is properly coordinated during store updates.
