+### Reading graph cards
+
+The canvas presents nodes as compact semantic cards rather than anonymous circles:
+
+- **Focus** identifies the node being explained.
+- **Structure** identifies packages, modules, classes, methods, definitions, and other containment
+  paths that establish where the focus exists.
+- **Behavior** identifies base classes, derived classes, and implementation relationships.
+- **Dependency** identifies imported modules and required services or helpers.
+- **Execution** identifies callers, dispatchers, launchers, activators, and focus-owned execution
+  branches.
+- **Data** identifies values or resources read and written.
+- **Evidence** identifies tests, verification, governing rules, and documentation.
+- **Context** identifies descriptive relationships that do not imply execution or ownership.
+- **Related** is the deterministic fallback for adapter-specific relationships that do not fit a
+  built-in category.
+
+The colored rail, category badge, edge style, and relationship label provide separate visual cues.
+Color is not the only signal. Cards also display the node kind, such as `Test class` or
+`Test method`.
+
+Canvas cards use the readable leaf name. For example,
+`tests.test_settings.SettingsTests.test_default_settings_load` appears as
+`test_default_settings_load`, while `tests.test_settings` appears as `test_settings`. Long leaf
+names wrap at identifier boundaries instead of being truncated. The complete qualified title and
+stable node ID remain available in the pointer tooltip, compact descriptor, and full inspector, so
+the shorter canvas label never changes identity or loses information.
