TerraNova v0.1.4

What's New

Evaluator Overhaul & Schema-Driven Nodes — Major evaluator rewrite with ingestion of 210+ node definitions from terranova-bundle.json. Cross-category connection validation via a 14×14 compatibility matrix, bridge node dual-color headers, drag-target glow/dim suggestions, port tooltips, and fidelity scoring badge.

Compound Inputs & Backward Wire Dragging — Dynamic handle expansion for multi-input nodes (Sum, Product, Min, Max, etc.), backward wire dragging from input ports to QuickAdd dialog, and smart label hiding for generic port names (#10).

Adaptive Voxel Preview — Auto-fit Y bounds that detect the terrain surface band, "Fit to Content" button, and graph-aware default bounds based on static node type analysis.

Configuration Dialog — Settings > Configuration panel with CPU, GPU, and RAM budget sliders, hardware auto-detection via sysinfo crate + WebGL probing, and per-subsystem advanced overrides (#12).

Knife Tool — Cut one or many wires by holding Ctrl+Shift (Cmd+Shift on macOS) and dragging through them, matching Blender/Unreal-style node editor UX (#17).

SVG Export — Export node graphs as clean, zoomable SVG files via File menu or Ctrl+Shift+G, with scope selection, grid toggle, and presentation/debug modes.

Accordion Sidebar — Optional accordion layout as an alternative to the tab bar (Settings > Sidebar), with collapsible drag-to-reorder sections and badge counts.

Bug Fixes

• Compound Inputs Evaluator — Fixed density preview producing incorrect terrain values after the compound inputs refactor. The evaluator was hardcoded to read only 2 inputs for Sum, Product, WeightedSum, SmoothMin, SmoothMax, MinFunction, MaxFunction, and AverageFunction — any inputs beyond the first two were silently ignored. All eight compound types now dynamically iterate over all connected inputs
• CubeMath Type Mismatch — Fixed the evaluator's Cube case targeting the wrong node type; the math cube operation is CubeMath in the schema (Cube is a shape SDF)
• Sum Export Path — Fixed Hytale JSON export producing malformed output for Sum nodes using the new compound handles Inputs[] format
• Evaluator Type Coverage — Added VectorWarp and Shell to the approximated types set for correct fidelity reporting
• Windows Preview Worker Compatibility — Fixed density/volume preview showing flat terrain on Windows and production builds. Configured Vite to emit ES module workers, added blob: and worker-src CSP directives, and added worker error handling with automatic main-thread fallback
• Auto-Updater Relaunch — Overhauled platform-specific relaunch logic with macOS bundle re-signing, Linux execute permission fix, and update loop prevention
• SVG 1.1 Compliance — Replaced rgba(), feDropShadow, 8-digit hex colors, and duplicate XML attributes for strict parser compatibility (macOS Preview, Inkscape)
• Undo History Noise — Node move operations removed from undo history; slider drags now produce exactly one entry on blur

Other Changes

• Default world height updated from 256 to 320 to match Hytale's actual limit
• Voxel resolution slider extended to 256 with free typing beyond
• SliderField supports overflow input values beyond the slider range
