Objective

Improve readability by compacting connected components while preserving logical left-to-right flow.

Scope

  • Add connectivity graph weighted by net class.
  • Apply iterative compaction with rank-column anchoring and lane bias.
  • Maintain respect for locked placements and deterministic output.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Related nodes move closer without collapsing into one column.
  • Signal flow remains visually directional and coherent.
  • Compile metrics remain within quality budgets.

Delivered in commit 47fabe6.

Implemented:

  • Added weighted connectivity graph from net topology.
  • Added iterative compaction pass with rank-column anchoring + lane bias.
  • Integrated compaction into placement flow before constraint/near/overlap finalization.

Outcome:

  • Components are more locally coherent while preserving left-to-right semantic flow.
  • Reduced outlier scatter and perimeter-routing tendency in sample scene.
