Shortens a cold page's first frame and trims the wasm, gives diagrams a modern look, fixes traced plots, and rebuilds the documentation around pictures latkit draws itself. Releases through .changeset/first-frame.md.

Rendering

• One compile queue per GPU, most urgent first: what frames draw with at once, text as the browser's compile workers free up, then transitions, lit rows, probes, and queries a few at a time.
• A view's first frame draws its marks; labels, glyphs, and the overlay fade in once their pipelines land. complete still waits for everything.
• loadLatkit() asks for the adapter early and makes the page's first GPU while the runtime loads.
• Channels, label placement, and probes compile only what their marks read and are: joins, sampled fields, view state, and the primitive drawn.
• Wasm 12% smaller (11% gzipped).
• The globe's atmosphere is a thin rim and halo instead of a wide glow over the ground.

Diagrams

• New theme options: outline, corner, portSize, and bend (wire bends no longer follow edgeSpacing).
• shadow: true on blocks and groups lays a soft shadow on the sheet.
• Blocks and groups are bordered, groups lose the header band, and corners, status rings, and port rings zoom with the drawing. Blocks make room for top and bottom port labels.
• Text defaults to the system sans-serif instead of monospace.

Fixes

• A mark ordered by priority that traces a sampled field drew nothing; it now draws the whole trace.
• A plot's y-axis label could be pushed off the picture; a plot's axes start below its title.
• The duplicate-mark error asks for a name.

Documentation

• Sphinx, MyST, and Furo on Read the Docs, built from a locked environment (docs/uv.lock): one guide, the command line, a performance table, examples, and the API reference.
• A gallery of 13 pictures drawn by the latkit command line from TypeScript in docs/gallery, with no Python. The hero is a DC power flow of ACTIVSg70k on the globe, raised by recorded frequency.
• A new icon, a shorter README, CONTRIBUTING.md, and RELEASING.md.

Testing

• cargo test --workspace, with a new test that traces in priority order; clippy in every CI configuration; fmt
• pnpm typecheck, lint, format, and test
• The docs build with warnings as errors from the lock
• The network and diagram example pages checked in Chrome on the GPU
