Owner ruling (2026-09-30, live-testing loop — supersedes 02a58db's
exemption): implication nodes ARE depth-anchored after all. Their anchor
is the average of the HIGHEST premise row and the conclusion's row —
depth(imp) = (max(premise depths) + depth(conclusion)) / 2 — so the
junction always sits strictly above every premise and strictly below
the conclusion (a conclusion is >= highest premise + 1 in the logical
graph). Uniform across modes: a half-row in vertical, a ring midway in
radial (owner confirmed both).
Implementation:
- layout.ts: new ImpLink type; SimOptions/incrementalLayout gain
impLinks (the derived chain linkage). The rank map is now computed
once alongside the orphan mask: proposition ranks via Tarjan over the
logical edges, then each supplied link adds its midpoint entry. An
imp node WITH an anchor is structured (leaves the orphan mask —
gravity projections treat it like any ranked node); WITHOUT supplied
links, arg_ ids keep the legacy 02a58db exemption (honest fallback
for callers that predate the field). The depth force reuses the
precomputed map — one pass, shared.
- deriveView (core/graph.ts) emits impLinks (one per multi-premise
live chain — single-premise chains mint no imp node); GraphSnapshot
carries them; graph-view maps them into CanvasData; settleGraphLayout
and replay-layout forward them (replay activates a junction's link
exactly when its chain is delivered).
Tests (+3, 1 rewritten): the 02a58db exemption pin became the MIDPOINT
pin (premises row 0, conclusion row -500, junction pinned to -250);
mixed-depth pin (premises at 0 and 1, conclusion 2, junction at the 1.5
half-row — highest premise, not average-of-premises); legacy fallback
pin (no impLinks = never depth-anchored); deriveView impLinks emission
pin (multi-premise only). The horizontal-pole and ORPHAN RULE pins from
5554c3a survive unchanged — proposition orphans are untouched.
