-// hive-jobq-graph.js — <hive-jobq-graph>, a shadow-DOM custom element that
-// renders any hive_jobq graph generically from the wire shape served by
-// GET /api/jobq/graph (or any endpoint serving the same
-// `Vec<hive_jobq_wire::GraphNode>` shape — see hive-jobq-wire's README).
-// Renders each root + its subtree as an indented tree: state glyph,
-// `payload.label` verbatim, and `payload.data` (if present) as a generic
-// key/value list — this element never branches on what a label or a data
-// key means, matching the "opaque payload" contract the wire type
-// documents. A consumer wanting domain-specific rendering (an agent chip,
-// a build-log link, ...) does its own thing on top; this is the generic
-// floor every jobq gets for free.
-//
-// `Node`-kind dep edges get a plain "waits on: <label>" text line — see
-// `buildTree`'s `_waitsOn` resolution. `cancellable` attribute adds a
-// per-node cancel button dispatching `hive-jobq-graph-cancel` instead of
-// POSTing anything itself — see `CANCELLABLE_STATES` + the click-delegate
-// in `connectedCallback` below for both. A per-state checkbox row above
-// the tree re-fetches `endpoint` with `?states=<checked>` on toggle — see
-// `_buildFilterBar`/`_fetchUrl` below and docs/web-ui/dashboard.md's
-// R3BU1LD QU3U3 section for the full filter rationale.
-//
-// Usage: <hive-jobq-graph endpoint="/api/jobq/graph"></hive-jobq-graph> —
-// self-fetches on connect. `.refresh()` re-fetches + re-renders;
-// `.render(nodes)` renders host-pushed data directly, no fetch. Every
-// render dispatches a bubbling/composed `hive-jobq-graph-update` event
-// (`detail: { nodes }`) so a host needing the raw list (a count badge, a
-// live-log panel) listens instead of running its own parallel fetch.
-//
-// Shadow DOM + own styles: theme custom properties (--fg, --red, ...)
-// pierce the shadow boundary by inheritance; only plain class rules local.
