Visual thinking use case makes sense!

The challenge is Mermaid is declarative — layout is computed, not specified. Some options I'm considering:

1. layout hints/constraints in the syntax,

2. export to SVG then use a proper editor like Excalidraw for repositioning. For now, influencing layout via subgraphs and edge ordering is the best workaround."

3. separate system for that, maybe to be included in the crate, would only work in Ferrite in the start
