Layouts
As dots grew with traffic they began to overlap, and the layout called "arc" was really a full circle.
A true arc now packs destinations by size, the old layout is honestly called radial, and dots re-space themselves once they have grown enough to crowd.

How we got here
Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.
From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

When dots have grown enough to crowd each other, the layout re-spaces them.
Thanks to
People outside Qpoint first. Every thank-you points at something they said or made.
Rebuilt the layouts so they name what they do and make room as dots grow
Commits in the qflow repo are all by Mark Parson; the record names nobody, so git authorship is the source.
