v0 foundation shipped, and now the real polishing starts

Today felt good: the v0 foundation is in place and stable. We can open real AB1 and SCF traces, parse channels/base calls/peaks, and render them on canvas with zoom, pan, hover tooltip, and exports (PNG + FASTA). The fixture-backed parser tests, performance smoke test, and end-to-end interaction checks are all in the loop, so this baseline is not just "it works on my machine".

This entry is also the start of a running devlog that ships with the app on GitHub Pages. From here, the roadmap is straightforward and user-driven: make tablet/touch interactions feel native, remove friction in loading/error states with better accessibility, harden performance for large traces, and close with truly user-like E2E validation across desktop and touch.

Next up: tablet and touch support first. We want pinch-to-zoom, drag-to-pan, and tap inspection to feel just as solid as mouse + keyboard.
