feat(flows): canvas / mind-map view, PR 3 of 3 — polish

 /**
  * Linear-list flow editor.
  *
- * The whole flow (header, trigger config, node list, validation panel)
+ * Renders the trigger panel, entry-node picker, and the per-node card
- * is owned by this single component. State lives client-side as a
+ * list. Header and validation panel are NOT owned here — they live
- * single `BuilderState` object; `Save` PUTs the whole structure to
+ * once in FlowEditorShell so they show in both views (lifted in PR 3
- * `/api/flows/[id]`; `Activate` hits `/api/flows/[id]/activate`.
+ * so canvas users can also save + see validator issues).
  *
- * Why one big file: keeps the diff between fields + the form code
+ * State lives in the shared `useFlowEditor()` context — toggling
- * obvious, matches the existing `automation-builder.tsx` shape, and
+ * Canvas ⇄ List never loses edits, and a drag on the canvas updates
- * sidesteps over-componentization for a UI that will be replaced by a
+ * the same nodes the list view reads.
- * react-flow canvas in v2 anyway. The node-config sub-forms live in
+ *
- * the same file as small components rather than separate modules.
+ * What's still local: the `expanded` set (which cards are open) and
+ * the scroll refs used when the validator's flashKey changes — those
+ * are list-only and have no canvas analogue.
