EthanHealy01 bda9cebc5c Portal ProcessorFlow: proportional particle emission + Storybook playground (#7105)
## Summary
Follow-up polish to the home **PDF Processor** flow visualiser (base
landed in #7014). Tunes the particle animation to react to real volume
and adds a Storybook playground to tune it live.

## Changes
### Particle emission — `useFlowParticles.ts`, `flowTypes.ts`
- Emission rate now scales ~linearly with a source's 24h volume (**2×
volume ≈ 2× dots**) instead of the flat `rate / 86400 × SPEED`, capped
at **one dot / 250ms** (`MAX_EMIT_PER_SEC`) for busy sources (~≥
800/24h).
- Bounded the spread so the busiest source emits at most **5×** the
quietest (`EMIT_SPREAD_CAP`) — a dominant source can't starve the
others.
- Wider departure jitter (`[0.4×–1.7×]` the mean, still floored at the
per-source min-gap) and ~**2× faster travel** so the flow reads
livelier.
- Replaced the single `SPEED` constant with `EMIT_DIVISOR` /
`MAX_EMIT_PER_SEC` / `EMIT_SPREAD_CAP`. Weighted round-robin outcome
split is unchanged (e.g. 3 failed / 30 delivered → ~1 red dot in 11).

### Storybook Playground — `ProcessorFlow.stories.tsx`,
`ProcessorFlow.tsx`
- New **Playground** story with live controls: per-input rate sliders,
the delivered/failed split (drives the red-dot ratio), and a
Classification-active toggle.
- Added an optional `dataOverride` prop (prod-inert testing seam) so the
story renders a supplied flow model instead of fetching — changes apply
instantly.

### Housekeeping
- Condensed authored comments across the feature to ≤ 2 lines.

## Testing
- `task frontend:check` green — lint, typecheck, 1353 tests.
- Verified emission numerically (proportionality, 250ms ceiling, 5×
spread cap) and confirmed live animation in a focused Storybook tab.

Frontend

All frontend commands are run from the repository root using Task:

  • task frontend:dev — start Vite dev server (localhost:5173)
  • task frontend:build — production build
  • task frontend:test — run tests
  • task frontend:test:watch — run tests in watch mode
  • task frontend:lint — run ESLint + cycle detection
  • task frontend:typecheck — run TypeScript type checking
  • task frontend:check — run typecheck + lint + test
  • task frontend:install — install npm dependencies

For desktop app development, see the Tauri section below.

Layout

frontend/ is a workspace containing one or more apps. Today it holds the PDF editor under frontend/editor/; new apps (the developer portal, etc.) will sit alongside it as siblings. Shared tooling — package.json, node_modules, .storybook/, ESLint, Prettier — lives at frontend/ so every app installs once and lints with the same config.

Environment Variables

The editor's environment variables live in committed .env files at frontend/editor/:

  • .env — used by all builds (core, proprietary, and as the base for desktop/SaaS)
  • .env.desktop — additional vars loaded in desktop (Tauri) mode
  • .env.saas — additional vars loaded in SaaS mode

These files contain non-secret defaults and are checked into Git, so most dev work needs no further setup.

To override values locally (API keys, machine-specific settings), create an uncommitted sibling editor/.env.local / editor/.env.desktop.local / editor/.env.saas.local. Vite automatically layers these on top of the committed files.

Docker Setup

For Docker deployments and configuration, see the Docker README.

Tauri

All desktop tasks are available via Task. From the root of the repo:

Dev

task desktop:dev

This ensures the JLink runtime and backend JAR exist (skipping if already built), then starts Tauri in dev mode.

Build

task desktop:build

This does a full clean rebuild of the backend JAR and JLink runtime, then builds the Tauri app for production.

Platform-specific dev builds are also available:

task desktop:build:dev           # No bundling
task desktop:build:dev:mac       # macOS .app bundle
task desktop:build:dev:windows   # Windows NSIS installer
task desktop:build:dev:linux     # Linux AppImage

You can also run JLink steps individually:

task desktop:jlink          # Build JAR + create JLink runtime
task desktop:jlink:jar      # Build backend JAR only
task desktop:jlink:runtime  # Create JLink custom JRE only
task desktop:jlink:clean    # Remove JLink artifacts

Clean

task desktop:clean

Removes all desktop build artifacts including JLink runtime, bundled JARs, Cargo build, and dist/build directories.
