/**
 * The hand-rolled single-canvas graph renderer (decided 2026-09-13 after
 * the research pass — docs/research/graph-rendering.md, Option B).
 *
 * Replaces sigma.js. Why: sigma gave us WebGL node/edge rendering,
 * picking, and a camera, but our cluster regions had to live on foreign
 * canvases injected next to its private DOM stack, drawn from a separate
 * event loop — so hulls lagged behind nodes during pan, raced sigma's
 * canvas sizing on renderer rebuilds, and every camera event re-rasterized
 * the full hull canvas (GPU spikes + audible coil whine). At our scale
 * (338 → low thousands of nodes) one Canvas 2D is comfortably inside
 * 60fps territory, and a single loop makes the desync class of bugs
 * structurally impossible.
 *
 * Architecture (the canonical pattern — browser.engineering, MDN
 * "Optimizing canvas", web.dev canvas performance):
 *   - The renderer is a DUMB DRAW FUNCTION over plain data: nodes with
 *     world-space positions, edges, clusters, colors, settings. Layout
 *     (forceAtlas2) and filtering happen OUTSIDE, in the React component;
 *     this module never computes a position.
 *   - ONE canvas, ONE requestAnimationFrame loop with a dirty flag. Input
 *     and DOM events only mutate state and mark dirty; the loop draws at
 *     most once per frame with every layer under the same camera —
 *     hull fills → hull strokes → edges → nodes → region labels → node
 *     labels → hover. Nothing can ever lag anything else.
 *   - Camera: d3-zoom supplies the verified pan / zoom-to-cursor / pinch
 *     math (screen = world·k + [x,y]). The camera lives in the renderer
 *     instance, so data refetches and settings changes never move it.
 *   - Picking: nearest-node distance check (µs at our scale), with a
 *     PICKING_PAD so the whole hover halo is hit-testable.
 *
 * Zoom-gated labels (the Obsidian text-fade feel): sigma's camera "ratio"
 * convention is kept for the settings' persisted semantics — ratio 1 =
 * fit zoom, SMALLER = zoomed in (ratio = kFit / k). Node labels are
 * fully visible at ratio ≤ labelZoom and fade out across a span
 * proportional to the gate (LABELS_FADE_RATIO)
 * of ratio; cluster labels fade in over the exact same span (sums to 1)
 * so the two never coexist. All labels gate together — no per-node
 * popping.
 *
 * The hover glow is unchanged in look: a soft halo in the node's own
 * color at a constant radius, opacity cross-faded over ~180ms, with the
 * name brightening on the SAME factor. Only opacity animates; the only
 * per-frame work when idle is a dirty-flag check (no rAF is scheduled at
 * all until something changes).
 *
 * Unit tests cover the pure helpers (tests/graph-canvas.test.ts); the
 * class itself is DOM-bound and exercised live. Module scope stays
 * DOM-free so the file imports cleanly under Node.
