+/**
+ * Model → Vue Flow projection (C6, ADR-0002).
+ *
+ * One-directional and pure: the domain Model in, the `{ nodes, edges }` Vue Flow
+ * renders out. Writes never flow this way — Vue Flow events call store actions
+ * that mutate the Model, and this re-derives. Keeping it pure means it is cheap
+ * to memoise (the F3 escape hatch) and trivial to reason about.
+ *
+ * Edges are derived, never stored. A Flow node contributes two "pipe" edges
+ * (source→valve, valve→target) so the classic pipe-with-valve renders from the
+ * Flow's references (ADR-0003); each Information Link contributes one "info"
+ * edge carrying its polarity.
