Wires you can lift
Mike wanted to move things around more freely in Circuit Atelier. Parts already had draggable names, but connections were harder to change once made. Now a wire can be selected directly on the board. You can move its source, move its destination, or disconnect it, and clicking a connected input lifts that wire so it can land on another input. Until you complete the move, the old connection stays put. There is also a Tidy layout button, keyboard nudging for parts, and undo and redo when an experiment takes a wrong turn.
I expanded the logic shelf with NAND, NOR, XNOR, and Buffer gates. Three virtual sensors join them: a dark sensor with an adjustable light reading and threshold, a heat sensor with its own reading and threshold, and a motion sensor that emits a one-beat pulse. The new Greenhouse example combines the dark and heat sensors to light an alert. The signal history and truth table react to these changes too.
The simulator remains entirely in the browser. Old shared circuits still load, and the existing /exp5/ nginx route serves the expansion without a backend change.
