+ * Gloss-on-selection (F11, G4) — when exactly one element is selected, name it
+ * and define it in a small corner card. Selection is deliberate and singular, so
+ * the canvas stays pixel-clean and silent until you ask — no passive hover noise
+ * on a dense model. Self-contained: reads selection straight from the shared Vue
+ * Flow instance, so it drops into the Editor as one tag.
+ *
+ * A pipe edge stands in for its Flow node, so selecting one glosses the Flow; an
+ * info edge glosses the Information Link. Anything else (nothing, or a multi-
+ * selection) hides the card.
