# Session Summary - November 23, 2025
## Completed Work
### 1. Query Builder Layout Fix ✅
**Issue**: Generated SPARQL section overlapping Visual Query Builder
**Root Cause**: Generic CSS class names not matching BEM-style definitions
**Solution**: Updated all 20+ class names to proper BEM convention
**Files Modified**:
- `frontend/src/components/query/QueryBuilder.tsx` - Updated class names
- `frontend/src/components/query/QueryBuilder.css` - Added min-height, z-index
- `QUERY_BUILDER_LAYOUT_FIX.md` - Complete documentation
**Result**: Layout now displays correctly with proper spacing and no overlap

## Technical Highlights
### D3.js Force Simulation
```typescript
d3.forceSimulation(nodes)
.force('link', d3.forceLink(links)
.distance(250) // Space between nodes
.strength(0.5)) // Link stiffness
.force('charge', d3.forceManyBody()
.strength(-1000)) // Node repulsion
.force('center', d3.forceCenter(width/2, height/2))
.force('collision', d3.forceCollide()
.radius(150)) // Prevent overlap
```
### Parser Auto-Detection
```typescript
export function parseUMLDiagram(source: string): UMLDiagram | null {
if (source.includes('classDiagram')) return parseMermaidClassDiagram(source);
if (source.includes('erDiagram')) return parseMermaidERDiagram(source);
if (source.includes('@startuml')) return parsePlantUML(source);
if (source.includes('digraph')) return parseGraphVizDOT(source);
return null;
}
```
### Custom Arrow Markers
```typescript
// Inheritance: Triangle (white fill)
defs.append('marker')
.attr('id', 'arrow-inheritance')
.append('path')
.attr('d', 'M0,0 L0,6 L9,3 z')
.attr('fill', 'white')
.attr('stroke', '#172a59');
// Composition: Filled diamond
defs.append('marker')
.attr('id', 'arrow-composition')
.append('path')
.attr('d', 'M0,3 L6,0 L12,3 L6,6 z')
.attr('fill', '#172a59');
```
