A collapsible Data panel under the Live Preview and Chart Builder charts shows the rows the chart actually uses, switching between Input (parsed source) and Resolved (post-transform) views read from the live Vega view. Collapsed by default; the open-state and a draggable height divider persist.
Rows come through a new RenderHandle.inspectData() accessor, so no component touches the view: core/result-data picks the most-upstream source and most-downstream result from the compiled dataflow, read lazily. The divider reuses the window-splitter pattern (horizontal variant).
Consolidations: a shared DataTable primitive replaces the inspector's and the builder's duplicate read-only tables; useResizeDrag merges the col/row drag-gesture twins.
Docs: spec 04/06 and arch 05/10 updated; the now-shipped exploration memo removed.
- Per-channel transforms: aggregate (sum/mean/median/min/max), quantitative
bin, and temporal timeUnit granularity; bin and aggregate are mutually
exclusive. A field-less "Count of records" measure (Voyager's count(*)).
- Chart-level sort (rank a categorical axis by its measure) and stacking
(zero / 100% normalize), each shown only when it applies.
- Field type is a fixed N|O|Q|T segmented control with the column's invalid
types disabled; SegmentedControl gains APG-correct disabled options.
- A crowded-category-axis warning (a raw measure drawing one mark per row over
a large dataset) and a disabled-Create hint (says why it's disabled).
- Drop the Create success toast — the new snippet is immediately visible.
- Docs: spec §06, research-doc §8 backlog (incl. the cardinality/extent
profiling TODO), architecture 01 (stable-selector rule) and 05 (builder-local
preview), and a profiling breadcrumb.
Defines the visual contract before the design-application work, so M2+ build on settled tokens.
- docs/architecture/09-visual-design.md: principles + deliberate divergences (square chrome, free color/theming), token system (IBM Plex type, 8px spacing, role-based color, motion), component conventions, and a source-repo map for extending the research
- docs/architecture/visual-specimen.html: standalone kitchen-sink specimen with a live theme x accent switcher; doubles as the tokens.css sandbox
- IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN: new M1.5 'Visual design foundation' milestone, plus ground-rule/cross-cutting/reference wiring
- index links: 00-overview, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md (architecture playbook now 00-09)
Applying the design to the M1 surfaces is deferred to a separate session.
