Conversation
- Add an optional plain-text `explanation` (1-1200 chars, blank lines split paragraphs) to components, nodes, participants and states.
📝 SummaryAdds optional 1–1200 character authored explanations for nodes in all five diagram types. The Semantic Passport adds localized Explain views with focus and keyboard handling plus Reviewed base WalkthroughThe change adds optional, bounded node explanations to all supported diagram schemas. Renderers collect explanations and serialize them in JSON outside the SVG. Semantic Passports add an Explain view with localized text, focus management, keyboard dismissal, sizing, and public API methods. Source examples and generated gallery artifacts are regenerated. Unit and browser tests cover validation, rendering, localization, and interaction. Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Explanation content is not reliably readable with assistive technology, invalid authored text can pass validation, and the passport may remain offset after closing. These issues should be fixed before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ❌ 2❌ Failed checks (1 warning, 1 inconclusive)
Full details: Contribution ScopeExplanation The implementation is one focused feature slice, and the PR explains the user problem, intended behavior, compatibility, tests, and visual evidence. However, it adds a new schema contract and broad shared viewer behavior across all five diagram types. CONTRIBUTING.md requires a linked issue or recorded maintainer scope decision for this change. The PR's Resolution Add a link to the issue or record a maintainer scope decision covering the feature's value, compatibility, and non-goals.

Enforce the explanation paragraph limit in all five modes.
The authoring contract requires one to three short paragraphs separated by blank lines. The shared AJV validators currently check only the explanation type and 1–1200 character range, so four-paragraph explanations can pass validate. Apply the paragraph-count rule through the shared validation contract for architecture, workflow, sequence, dataflow, and lifecycle, then regenerate the validators with stable diagnostics.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Reject whitespace-only explanations in all five schemas.
architecture.schema.json, workflow.schema.json, sequence.schema.json, dataflow.schema.json, and lifecycle.schema.json each define explanation with only minLength: 1. collectExplanations trims the value and drops it when empty, so schema-valid whitespace-only explanations are silently lost. The shared validator only dispatches to each mode’s generated validator; it does not add this rule. Add "pattern": "\\S" to each explanation definition, then regenerate the committed validators.

Expose explanation content as a readable region.
openExplanation() focuses #focus-explanation and assigns it the return-action aria-label. Because this element has role="button", its title and body descendants are presentational and assistive technologies may omit the authored prose. In viewer/template.source.html and viewer/focus.js, use role="region" with aria-labelledby="focus-explanation-title", remove the action label from the region, and add a separate Back button. Move the existing close and keyboard handling to that button. Then run npm run generate:viewer, npm run render:examples, and npm run build:gallery from archify/ to update the affected example HTML and all 11 gallery artifacts.

Request lens placement when closing the explanation.
closeExplanation() clears minHeight, but placeRelationshipLens() uses chip.offsetHeight to calculate top. A long explanation can therefore leave the smaller passport at its expanded position until another placement event occurs. When wasOpen is true, call requestLensPlacement() after clearing the height. Add a focus interaction test for this close-and-reposition path.

Problem and value
The Semantic Passport for each node shows facts about a node but has nowhere for the author to say what it actually does. (a short text explanation for maybe non technical people and let the diagram explain itself). This adds an optional explanation text field to nodes in all five diagram types. When a reader clicks a node that has one, an Explain button appears next to Copy link. Clicking it flips the passport to show the explanation; clicking again flips back. The text is stored outside the SVG so exports are unaffected. Diagrams that don't use the field work exactly as before.
