Add the brand-ui FlowPlaceholderNode component (from @elabs-ai/components-flow) to this project. 1. Read https://elabs-ai.com/llms.txt first: it maps every package and the rules. If you can use MCP servers, connect https://elabs-ai.com/mcp and use its search, docs and tokens tools. If not, run the same lookups in the terminal: `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli search "<what you need>"` and `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli docs <Component>`. 2. Look FlowPlaceholderNode up before writing code: `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli docs FlowPlaceholderNode` prints its real props, variants, what it pairs with and what to avoid. 3. If @elabs-ai/components-flow is not installed yet: `pnpm add @elabs-ai/components-tokens @elabs-ai/components-ui @elabs-ai/components-flow` (or `npm install @elabs-ai/components-tokens @elabs-ai/components-ui @elabs-ai/components-flow`). If this is the first brand-ui package in the project, wire it once: import `@elabs-ai/components-tokens/styles.css` plus the `themes/light.css` and `themes/dark.css` stylesheets in the CSS entry, add one Tailwind `@source` line per installed @elabs-ai package (Tailwind does not scan node_modules, so without it everything renders unstyled), and wrap the app root in `ThemeProvider` from `@elabs-ai/components-tokens`. 4. Use it here: [the screen or file, and what it should show] 5. Rules: use only @elabs-ai/components-* components and the semantic tokens — no raw colours, no raw font sizes, no arbitrary Tailwind values. Look up each component's real props with the docs tool before you use it; never guess a prop. 6. Done means: the typecheck passes, `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli audit src --strict` reports nothing, and you have opened the app and looked at every screen you touched in the light and the dark theme.
Examples
Placeholder Tail
Click "Add node" to grow the chain — each click converts the placeholder into a real step and re-lays-out.
Add Node On Edge Drop
Drag from the node's bottom handle and release on empty canvas: a new `FlowNode` is created at the drop point and wired to the source. Uses `onConnectEnd` + `screenToFlowPosition` (needs a `ReactFlowProvider` ancestor so `useReactFlow` resolves outside `<CanvasShell>`'s children).
