Diagram nodes too narrow — edge connectors barely visible #68

Problem

The uniform node dimensions (200×40px) make processor boxes too narrow/short. The edges connecting them are hard to see because nodes are packed tightly with little space for the connectors between them.

Expected

  • Increase node height (e.g. 200×48 or 200×52) to give more vertical breathing room
  • Ensure enough gap between nodes so edge paths and arrowheads are clearly visible
  • May also need to increase ELK layout spacing parameters (node-node gap) on the backend if the layout engine is placing nodes too close together

Implemented in 7b9dc32. Increased FIXED_H from 40→52px, giving nodes more vertical space so edge connectors are clearly visible between them.
