Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Migrate core-v2 to Svelte 5 runes and event syntax

Refactor components in `svelte/core-v2/` to use Svelte 5 APIs, replacing legacy `export let` and `$:` reactive statements with `$props`, `$bindable`, and `$derived`. Update event listeners from `on:click` to `onclick` as per Svelte 5 conventions.

- Migrate `App.svelte`, `Arrow.svelte`, `Column.svelte`, `Entity.svelte`, `EntityGroup.svelte`,
`Footer.svelte`, `Popover.svelte`, and `ViewControl.svelte` to use `$props()`.
- Use `$bindable()` for two-way bound props like `selected_entity` and `view_mode`.
- Replace the reactive `populateDetails` logic in `Popover.svelte` with a `$derived.by` rune for
cleaner state management.
- Update event handlers (e.g., `on:click` -> `onclick`, `on:change` -> `onchange`) across all
modified components.

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Refator core-v2: shared universal state with Svelte 5
 runes
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

refactored the core-v2 application to use Svelte 5's runes for shared universal state. This eliminates prop-drilling for selected_entity and view_mode across multiple layers of components (App → Column → EntityGroup → Entity).

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] Refactor core-v2: streamline window event listeners in
 ViewControl

Replaced the manual window event listener attachment and cleanup for `popstate` in `ViewControl.svelte`'s `onMount` with Svelte's idiomatic `<svelte:window>` element.

This simplifies the component lifecycle logic and ensures automatic cleanup when the component is unmounted.

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] Refactor core-v2: optimize entity lookup in Popover
 component

Refactored the logic for retrieving entity details in Popover.svelte to improve performance and code clarity.

- Replaced the nested loops within a complex $derived.by block with a flat `entityLookup` dictionary
created once on load.
- Simplified the `details` derivation to a direct lookup using `appState.selected_entity`.
- Added a default empty state for `details` when no entity is selected.

**Performance Validation**

Ran a benchmark comparing the old $O(N)$ nested loop lookup versus the new $O(1)$ flat map lookup over 1,000,000 iterations with a mix of hits and misses:

Old $O(N)$ approach: ~65.29ms total (~65.29 ns/op)
New $O(1)$ approach: ~6.79ms total (~6.79 ns/op)
Setup time (one-time): 0.0168ms (16.8 microseconds)

Result: The new approach is ~9.6x faster in lookup performance. While the absolute difference is small for a single user interaction (nanoseconds), this refactor ensures the O(1) lookup scale-invariance and results in much cleaner, more maintainable code.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Refactor core-v2: reactively manage entity popover state

Refactored the entity popover logic in the core-v2 Svelte app to use a reactive $effect for controlling visibility based on appState.

Changes:

- Removed manual 'openPopover' helper functions from Entity.svelte and EntityGroup.svelte in favor of updating appState directly on click.
- Updated Popover.svelte to use a $effect that monitors appState.selected_entity to show or hide the popover element.
- Added an 'ontoggle' handler to the popover element to synchronize appState when the popover is closed via the 'Esc' key or backdrop click.
- Improved close button logic to consistently reset appState.
