The first cut drew the code's order as a nested document — a column of boxes,
forks as rows of arm columns. Wrong picture: hard to read, and it threw away
the thing that made the tree legible. The ask was the canvas back, with the
timing fixed: the 200 comes after the token is signed, so it should branch out
of it.
So the order reading is now the SAME canvas, the same boxes, the same pills,
hover and panel — only the graph changes. `ui/src/lib/program-model.ts` walks
the server's block tree carrying a set of tails (the steps a next step would
follow) and emits one edge per "and then": proshop's login draws the anchor,
`User.findOne`, then the fork — `jwt.sign` under one arm with the `200` a row
below it, the `401` under the other. A row down is one more thing that has
already happened; an arm that answers, returns or throws has nothing leaving
it; a helper, a loop, `later` and `together` ride on the line into what they
hold. Rows are settled by relaxation, because a step reached twice can make
the graph cyclic.
A line means "and then" here and "leads to" in the tree, so the key says which.
The fork conditions are drawn at rest rather than only for a selected box —
`placeLabels` takes an `atRest` flag — because on this picture they are the
content, and two ways to one step merge as one condition (`WHEN userExists OR
NOT user`), not as two rendered labels stuck together.
`StepsRail.svelte` and `RailBlock.svelte` are gone; `StepBox.svelte` stays as
the box both readings draw.

Spec §3.13.1 describes the rail as built: what it is made of (records the same
pass makes as the links), what makes the fold possible (a guard naming the
decision it belongs to), the items, and the words. `CLAUDE.md` names
`api/program.ts` and what the guard reader now returns. `CHANGELOG.md` gets the
user-facing feature and the three fixes under it.
Both plans now say what happened: the 2026-08-29 plan carries a BUILT header
with where the build differs from it (a guard's `branch`, reading a function
once per rail, blocks as one kind carrying facts, loops needing a reading of
their own), the answers to its open questions, and a §8 recording the six
endpoints read against their source — plus the two gaps left open on purpose,
a mongoose `product.save()` the effects table does not know and the nested
`const handleX = async () => …` that is still not a node.
