Depth was hardcoded (3 ancestors, 2 descendants). Add a controls row to set
each direction independently — a slider plus a number stepper, with an "All"
toggle per direction — applied around whoever is currently focused.
- ancestor/descendant depth held in state; effective value is a large cap
when "All" is on (the chart only renders people that exist, so the cap is
free).
- changes apply to the live chart via setAncestryDepth/setProgenyDepth +
updateTree without a full rebuild.
- fan mode (ancestors only) takes the ancestor depth via its `generations`
prop, capped at 8 to avoid the radial layout's 2^n blow-up; its descendants
control is disabled with a note.

Once you recenter the tree on someone, there was no quick way back to the
tree's home/default person. Add a header link (shown only when a home person
is set and you're not already on them) that recenters the chart on
home_person_id via the existing goTo() — works in landscape, portrait, and
fan modes. Labels with the home person's name for clarity.

The Tree view, People (Family) view, and person detail page each tracked
the "current person" independently, so moving between them reset you to the
home person. The detail page's "← Back to tree" link also pointed at the
People view (not the Tree) and carried no person, so it always landed on the
default person.
Make the focused person a URL-encoded concept that travels across views:
- Tree and People views read ?focus=<id> on load and mirror the focused
person back into the URL via router.replace (no history spam), so leaving
and returning keeps you centered where you were. Bookmarks/shared links
also resolve to the right person.
- "Open person" links carry ?from=tree | ?from=people.
- The detail page's back link is now origin-aware: "← Back to Tree" →
/tree?focus=<id> or "← Back to People" → /?focus=<id>, returning you in
place instead of to the home person.
- Add a "View in tree →" link on the detail page — the previously missing
direct jump from a person to the tree re-rooted on them.
- person→person relationship links (and create-relative redirect) pass
`from` through so click-chains keep their anchor.
Also gitignore *.tsbuildinfo (Next build artifact).

Root cause of the blank Jung tree: a child double-linked to the same parent
(and, generally, any cycle) made family-chart recurse forever.
Backend (the real fix):
- create_relationship now rejects an equivalent existing edge → 409.
parent_child is directional (parent→child); partnership/sibling match the
pair in either order. So you can't link the same two people the same way
twice. (GEDCOM import already deduped; manual creates didn't.)
Frontend (defense in depth so data can never blank the view):
- Tree view sanitizes the graph before rendering: dedupes parents/spouses,
drops self-links, and greedily breaks ancestor cycles (a person can't be
their own ancestor); children are derived from the kept edges. The render is
wrapped in try/catch and shows a note instead of a blank canvas, telling you
which conflicting links were skipped.
- Person page surfaces the 409 ("They're already linked that way.").
59 backend tests pass (incl. dup-rejection + reverse-parent-child allowed).

- Theme is now class-based (.dark on <html>) with a System/Light/Dark toggle in
the sidebar, persisted to localStorage and applied pre-paint by an inline
script (no flash). Replaces the prefers-color-scheme-only behavior, so a phone
on a light OS theme can still choose dark and vice versa.
- New brand-derived --line token (Ink at 55%): a dark line on the light paper,
light on dark. The family-chart tree connectors had the library's default
white stroke and were invisible in light mode — now they use --line, as do
the pedigree brackets and the fan-chart sectors.
- Light/dark tokens use the exact brand palette (Ink/Muted flip; Bronze/Paper
constant).
Frontend only — no migration.

- Sidebar bottom-left now shows the signed-in user; clicking opens a menu with
Settings and Sign out. New /settings page: account info + change password
(POST /auth/change-password, re-verifies current password). Export/restore/
delete are stubbed there for the next pass.
- Per-tree default/home person: tree.home_person_id (migration) + TreeUpdate/
Read; the tree and family views open focused on it; the person page gets a
"Set as default" control and "Default person" badge. Cleared if that person
is deleted. Complements the account-level "this is me" link.
- Tree visualization now fills the content area (AppShell drops the max-width
column on the /tree route); other pages stay centered.
- Audit records are coerced JSON-safe (UUIDs/enums), so PATCHing UUID fields
like home_person_id audits cleanly.
50 backend tests pass; migration up/down verified; frontend builds.

Names (the genealogy standard: maiden name primary, married/alias as typed
alternates):
- Name model already supported multiple typed names; expose full CRUD —
NameCreate/Read/Update schemas, name_service (one-primary invariant,
promote-on-delete), nested /persons/{id}/names routes.
- Person page gains a Names card: add/edit/delete + "make primary", with a
curated name_type dropdown (birth/maiden, married, alias, nickname, …).
Self-person ("who am I"):
- users.self_person_id FK (use_alter for the users<->persons<->trees cycle)
+ migration; PATCH /users/me/self-person; "This is me" / "This is you"
on the person page. Soft-deleting the linked person clears it.
Deletion integrity (fixes the broken tree view):
- delete_person now soft-deletes the relationships touching the person, so no
dangling edges remain; family-chart also filters links to missing people.
- Optional cascade=true recursively deletes descendants (GEDCOM cleanup);
the person page asks "only this person" vs "with all descendants".
- DELETE returns {deleted: n}.
Family view surfaces "Not connected to anyone" so dangling people aren't lost.

- Tree page: add a "Find a person" search box that jumps the chart to a
match and rebuilds the hourglass (parents/grandparents/partner/children)
around them. Clicking any card recenters via family-chart's default
behavior (setAncestryDepth 3 / setProgenyDepth 2), syncing focus through
setAfterUpdate for the "Open profile" link.
- Person detail: replace the relationship "add" <select> with a
type-to-filter PersonCombobox so long people lists are searchable.
- Person detail: gender is now a Male/Female dropdown, not free text.

Tree page gets Landscape/Portrait/Fan toggles: landscape & portrait via family-chart's orientation; a hand-rolled radial Fan chart of ancestors (rings per generation, click to recenter). Clicking a card recenters and updates an 'Open <name> →' link to that person's profile. The People directory search now hits the server-side pg_trgm fuzzy endpoint (debounced) so it spans the whole tree, not just the loaded page.

Researched how FamilySearch/Geni/MyHeritage lay out trees (switchable pedigree/portrait/fan, an interactive canvas with pan/zoom + click-to-recenter, gender colors, birth-death years) and built a real Tree page on the MIT d3 library family-chart instead of a flat list. Ancestors + descendants around a focus person, click any card to recenter, drag to pan, scroll to zoom — scales to large imported trees. Tree is now the first per-tree sidebar item and the default when opening a tree; People keeps the searchable directory + add/edit.
