Colby McHenry ad91c8fdd8 feat(ui): classify code from the engine's own tree-sitter parse, retiring Shiki (CG-57)
The viewer ran a second highlighter over source the engine had already parsed
with a real grammar: Shiki, plus 56 pruned TextMate grammars shipped in
dist/textmate/. The classification now comes off that tree instead, so a file is
read by exactly the grammar that decided what its symbols are.

The swap is complete rather than flagged: @shikijs/core, @shikijs/engine-javascript
and @shikijs/langs are off the dependency list, scripts/prune-grammars.mjs and
`npm run build:textmate` are deleted, and check-ui-build.mjs asserts the
tree-sitter grammars in dist/extraction/wasm instead of dist/textmate.

The wire contract is unchanged — `[classId, text]` pairs with the class names
alongside — so the viewer's decoder and code blocks did not have to be rewritten.
Two classes are added to the six: `type` (a named type reference, painted at
plain ink) and `def` (the name a definition declares, weight 600), the latter
taken from the extractors' own definition tables so it cannot drift from what
indexing calls a definition.

Three differences are not cosmetic:

* Interpolations (`${…}`, `#{…}`, `$"{…}"`, f-strings) are classified as code,
  not as string. The call-site overlay refuses to claim a token classed string,
  so calls written inside interpolated strings now link.
* Built-in type words are emitted whole and classed `type` in every language.
  The grammars disagree about whether `string` is a type_identifier or an
  anonymous token inside a predefined_type, and TextMate scoped them
  inconsistently too.
* 3 000 lines of TypeScript cost 24-41 ms instead of ~700 ms.

Given up deliberately: Liquid, Razor, YAML, Twig, XML and .properties render
plain. .svelte/.vue/.astro are classified through their <script> blocks, the same
delegation the SFC extractors do. Pulling html/css/vue out of tree-sitter-wasms
would cover them, but those ABI-13 builds are the known cause of shared-WASM-heap
corruption for every other language in the same process.

Measured parity, per-language before/after screenshots and the reproduction
recipe: docs/design/cg57-highlighting-parity.md.

Colby McHenry 2ad836d935 feat(ui): highlight source server-side with a near-monochrome Shiki theme (CG-43)
The viewer's code block stops lexing with a hand-rolled dialect table and
reads real TextMate grammars instead, run once in `/api/source`.

Three things make that safe to depend on:

* Highlighting never fails a request. A missing grammar, an oversized
  slice, an ESM import that did not resolve — every one of them answers
  `engine: 'plain'` with a reason and the source still goes out.
* Identifiers survive whatever token boundaries a grammar chose. Every
  code token is split into identifier runs before it goes on the wire, so
  the graph's call-site overlay claims a token the highlighter produced
  rather than re-cutting the line. `assignRefs` now matches on a token's
  text rather than on the class a grammar gave it, so a language that
  scopes type names as `storage.type` still links.
* The theme classifies rather than colours: its foregrounds are sentinels
  the server maps back to class names, and the viewer paints them from
  CSS custom properties — one token stream serves light and dark with no
  refetch, and the ramp lives only in app.css.

Comments move from --ink-3 to a new --code-comment. --ink-3 measures
3.46:1 on paper and 3.00:1 on the hot-line tint, both under AA for 12.5px
text; --code-comment is the smallest step along the same ramp that clears
4.5:1 on every background a code line can have, and stays quieter than
the strings and numbers above it.

Shipping: @shikijs/core and @shikijs/engine-javascript are runtime
dependencies (no wasm, no native module); @shikijs/langs stays a
devDependency and `npm run build:textmate` writes only the closure the
engine's 40-odd languages reach — 56 grammars, 2.6 MB, against 11 MB for
all 722. check-ui-build.mjs asserts the tree after every build and inside
every release archive.

Colby McHenryandClaude Opus 5 5cecaabfc2 feat(ui): the Symbol view — callers, gutter-ported source, line-anchored callee rail (CG-44)
The core screen of `codegraph ui`: who calls a symbol on the left, its
verbatim body in the middle with a port on every line that has an outgoing
edge, and what it calls on the right — each callee row placed beside the line
that makes the call, with a hairline connector between them.

The callee rail is the part that is not a list. A row wants to sit at the
centre of its first call-site line and is pushed down only when that would
collide with the row above, so the rail keeps source order; the connector
still runs to the real line, so the displacement is visible rather than
silent. Positions come from measuring the laid-out DOM, so they are
recomputed on resize, on font load and whenever a fold opens.

Honesty is carried in the drawing, not in a footnote: a filled port means the
resolver matched something on that line and a hollow one means it only
guessed; uncertain connectors are dashed and their targets fold away behind
their count; synthesized edges are dashed differently and tagged with the
mechanism that made them; references that leave the index are text with a
soft underline rather than links to nowhere, and they are counted. Long
bodies keep their head plus a window round every call site — windowed on
graph edges only, since a function calling `console.log` two hundred times
would otherwise window round every line and buy nothing. Containers over 80
lines show a members outline with per-member fan-in/fan-out instead of 700
lines of braces.

Two small additions to the read-only API this needed:

* `/api/node` gives every outline member its own fanIn/fanOut (two batched
  queries for the whole outline). A class's own fan-out is nearly always
  zero because its methods do the calling, so without these the outline
  cannot say which member carries weight.
* `/api/stats` gains `blastScale` — the denominator the blast bar is drawn
  against, so one symbol's radius reads as wide or narrow *for this repo*.
  It is measured across the index's 24 most-depended-on symbols (found with
  a new `getTopDependedOn`, distinct dependents rather than edges), memoised
  against the index stamp, and reported as sampled; a symbol wider than the
  sample becomes the scale instead of overflowing the track.

Verified against a real index in a real browser: parity with the prototype on
`CodeGraph.sync` (259 lines, 27 callee rows, no overlaps), `GraphTraverser`
(20-member outline), a 773-line function (26 windows, 78 connectors), light
and dark, hover linking in both directions, keyboard-only navigation, and
reflow on resize and on fold toggles.
