NAVAL-SEM v1.1.4

Fully offline PLS-SEM / CB-SEM desktop application — no internet required after install.

What's new in v1.1.4:

Fixed

• HOC model canvas auto-layout stacked every construct into a single overlapping column. _topoLayout() computed each latent variable's column position by walking only structural (~) edges. A higher-order construct spec such as g =~ visual + textual + speed uses a measurement (=~) edge, not a structural one, so every LV's rank stayed at 0 and visual/textual/speed/g were all placed in the same column, on top of each other. LV-to-LV measurement edges (HOC relationships) are now folded into the rank computation, reversed in direction so first-order constructs rank before the higher-order construct they feed into. Affects static/index.html.
• Indicator-clustering step could misfile a first-order construct as an "indicator" of its own higher-order construct. The same layout pass re-clusters observed indicators (x1, x2, ...) around their construct using measurement edges, but didn't distinguish an LV-to-LV edge (e.g. g =~ visual) from a genuine indicator edge (e.g. visual =~ x1) — so visual itself could get pulled into a small indicator slot next to g. LV-to-LV edges are now excluded from this step. Affects static/index.html.
• Report/diagram exports always rendered with a hardcoded dark background (#13151a), regardless of the active theme. Both the PNG export and the PDF path-diagram rasterization in downloadReport() ignored whatever theme (including a custom-uploaded light theme) was active in the UI. Both now read the live --bg CSS variable at export time, falling back to the previous dark value only if it isn't set. Affects static/index.html.

Removed

• Dead force-simulation code. _d3sim (a d3.forceSimulation with link/charge/collide forces and a tick handler) was declared, configured, and immediately stopped, but never given nodes/links or restarted anywhere — so it never ran. Removed; the actual auto-layout is the rank/column algorithm above. Affects static/index.html.
