[feat] Enhanced LOD system with component-driven approach

- Add continuous lodScore (0-1) to useLOD composable for smooth transitions - Add minimal performance optimizations to existing LOD CSS (disable text-shadow, GPU acceleration) - Create comprehensive LOD implementation guide for widget developers - Fix TransformPane tests to match current event listener implementation Key improvements: - Components can now make their own LOD decisions using lodScore - Enhanced existing LOD CSS with performance optimizations only - Extensive documentation with examples for developers and designers - Backwards compatible - existing discrete levels still work The enhanced system maintains the zoom-based approach while providing more granular control for individual components.

+# Level of Detail (LOD) Implementation Guide for Widgets
+
+## What is Level of Detail (LOD)?
+
+Level of Detail is a technique used to optimize performance by showing different amounts of detail based on how zoomed in the user is. Think of it like Google Maps - when you're zoomed out looking at the whole country, you only see major cities and highways. When you zoom in close, you see street names, building details, and restaurants.
+
+For ComfyUI nodes, this means:
+- **Zoomed out** (viewing many nodes): Show only essential controls, hide labels and descriptions
+- **Zoomed in** (focusing on specific nodes): Show all details, labels, help text, and visual polish
+
+## Why LOD Matters
+
+Without LOD optimization:
+- 1000+ nodes with full detail = browser lag and poor performance
+- Text that's too small to read still gets rendered (wasted work)
+- Visual effects that are invisible at distance still consume GPU
+
+With LOD optimization:
+- Smooth performance even with large node graphs
+- Battery life improvement on laptops
+- Better user experience across different zoom levels
+
+## How to Implement LOD in Your Widget
+
+### Step 1: Get the LOD Context
+
+Every widget component gets a `zoomLevel` prop. Use this to determine how much detail to show:
+
+```vue
+<script setup lang="ts">
+import { computed, toRef } from 'vue'
+import { useLOD } from '@/composables/graph/useLOD'
+
+const props = defineProps<{
+  widget: any
+  zoomLevel: number
+  // ... other props
+}>()
+
+// Get LOD information
+const { lodScore, lodLevel } = useLOD(toRef(() => props.zoomLevel))
+</script>
+```
+
+### Step 2: Choose What to Show at Different Zoom Levels
+
+#### Understanding the LOD Score
+- `lodScore` is a number from 0 to 1
+- 0 = completely zoomed out (show minimal detail)
+- 1 = fully zoomed in (show everything)
+- 0.5 = medium zoom (show some details)
+
+#### Understanding LOD Levels
+- `'minimal'` = zoom level 0.4 or below (very zoomed out)
+- `'reduced'` = zoom level 0.4 to 0.8 (medium zoom)
+- `'full'` = zoom level 0.8 or above (zoomed in close)
+
+### Step 3: Implement Your Widget's LOD Strategy
+
+Here's a complete example of a slider widget with LOD:
+
+```vue
+<template>
+  <div class="number-widget">
+    <!-- The main control always shows -->
+    <input 
+      v-model="value"
+      type="range"
+      :min="widget.min"
+      :max="widget.max"
+      class="widget-slider"
+    />
+    
+    <!-- Show label only when zoomed in enough to read it -->
+    <label 
+      v-if="showLabel"
+      class="widget-label"
+    >
+      {{ widget.name }}
+    </label>
+    
+    <!-- Show precise value only when fully zoomed in -->
+    <span 
+      v-if="showValue"
+      class="widget-value"
+    >
+      {{ formattedValue }}
+    </span>
+    
+    <!-- Show description only at full detail -->
+    <div 
+      v-if="showDescription && widget.description"
+      class="widget-description"
+    >
+      {{ widget.description }}
+    </div>
+  </div>
+</template>
+
+<script setup lang="ts">
+import { computed, toRef } from 'vue'
+import { useLOD } from '@/composables/graph/useLOD'
+
+const props = defineProps<{
+  widget: any
+  zoomLevel: number
+}>()
+
+const { lodScore, lodLevel } = useLOD(toRef(() => props.zoomLevel))
+
+// Define when to show each element
+const showLabel = computed(() => {
+  // Show label when user can actually read it
+  return lodScore.value > 0.4  // Roughly 12px+ text size
+})
+
+const showValue = computed(() => {
+  // Show precise value only when zoomed in close
+  return lodScore.value > 0.7  // User is focused on this specific widget
+})
+
+const showDescription = computed(() => {
+  // Description only at full detail
+  return lodLevel.value === 'full'  // Maximum zoom level
+})
+
+// You can also use LOD for styling
+const widgetClasses = computed(() => {
+  const classes = ['number-widget']
+  
+  if (lodLevel.value === 'minimal') {
+    classes.push('widget--minimal')
+  }
+  
+  return classes
+})
+</script>
+
+<style scoped>
+/* Apply different styles based on LOD */
+.widget--minimal {
+  /* Simplified appearance when zoomed out */
+  .widget-slider {
+    height: 4px;  /* Thinner slider */
+    opacity: 0.9;
+  }
+}
+
+/* Normal styling */
+.widget-slider {
+  height: 8px;
+  transition: height 0.2s ease;
+}
+
+.widget-label {
+  font-size: 0.8rem;
+  color: var(--text-secondary);
+}
+
+.widget-value {
+  font-family: monospace;
+  font-size: 0.7rem;
+  color: var(--text-accent);
+}
+
+.widget-description {
+  font-size: 0.6rem;
+  color: var(--text-muted);
+  margin-top: 4px;
+}
+</style>
+```
+
+## Common LOD Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Essential vs. Nice-to-Have
+```typescript
+// Always show the main functionality
+const showMainControl = computed(() => true)
+
+// Show labels when readable
+const showLabels = computed(() => lodScore.value > 0.4)
+
+// Show extra info when focused
+const showExtras = computed(() => lodLevel.value === 'full')
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Smooth Opacity Transitions
+```typescript
+// Gradually fade elements based on zoom
+const labelOpacity = computed(() => {
+  // Fade in from zoom 0.3 to 0.6
+  return Math.max(0, Math.min(1, (lodScore.value - 0.3) / 0.3))
+})
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Progressive Detail
+```typescript
+const detailLevel = computed(() => {
+  if (lodScore.value < 0.3) return 'none'
+  if (lodScore.value < 0.6) return 'basic'
+  if (lodScore.value < 0.8) return 'standard'
+  return 'full'
+})
+```
+
+## LOD Guidelines by Widget Type
+
+### Text Input Widgets
+- **Always show**: The input field itself
+- **Medium zoom**: Show label
+- **High zoom**: Show placeholder text, validation messages
+- **Full zoom**: Show character count, format hints
+
+### Button Widgets  
+- **Always show**: The button
+- **Medium zoom**: Show button text
+- **High zoom**: Show button description
+- **Full zoom**: Show keyboard shortcuts, tooltips
+
+### Selection Widgets (Dropdown, Radio)
+- **Always show**: The current selection
+- **Medium zoom**: Show option labels
+- **High zoom**: Show all options when expanded
+- **Full zoom**: Show option descriptions, icons
+
+### Complex Widgets (Color Picker, File Browser)
+- **Always show**: Simplified representation (color swatch, filename)
+- **Medium zoom**: Show basic controls
+- **High zoom**: Show full interface
+- **Full zoom**: Show advanced options, previews
+
+## Design Collaboration Guidelines
+
+### For Designers
+When designing widgets, consider creating variants for different zoom levels:
+
+1. **Minimal Design** (far away view)
+   - Essential elements only
+   - Higher contrast for visibility
+   - Simplified shapes and fewer details
+
+2. **Standard Design** (normal view)
+   - Balanced detail and simplicity
+   - Clear labels and readable text
+   - Good for most use cases
+
+3. **Full Detail Design** (close-up view)
+   - All labels, descriptions, and help text
+   - Rich visual effects and polish
+   - Maximum information density
+
+### Design Handoff Checklist
+- [ ] Specify which elements are essential vs. nice-to-have
+- [ ] Define minimum readable sizes for text elements
+- [ ] Provide simplified versions for distant viewing
+- [ ] Consider color contrast at different opacity levels
+- [ ] Test designs at multiple zoom levels
+
+## Testing Your LOD Implementation
+
+### Manual Testing
+1. Create a workflow with your widget
+2. Zoom out until nodes are very small
+3. Verify essential functionality still works
+4. Zoom in gradually and check that details appear smoothly
+5. Test performance with 50+ nodes containing your widget
+
+### Performance Considerations
+- Avoid complex calculations in LOD computed properties
+- Use `v-if` instead of `v-show` for elements that won't render
+- Consider using `v-memo` for expensive widget content
+- Test on lower-end devices
+
+### Common Mistakes
+❌ **Don't**: Hide the main widget functionality at any zoom level
+❌ **Don't**: Use complex animations that trigger at every zoom change  
+❌ **Don't**: Make LOD thresholds too sensitive (causes flickering)
+❌ **Don't**: Forget to test with real content and edge cases
+
+✅ **Do**: Keep essential functionality always visible
+✅ **Do**: Use smooth transitions between LOD levels
+✅ **Do**: Test with varying content lengths and types
+✅ **Do**: Consider accessibility at all zoom levels
+
+## Getting Help
+
+- Check existing widgets in `src/components/graph/vueNodes/widgets/` for examples
+- Ask in the ComfyUI frontend Discord for LOD implementation questions
+- Test your changes with the LOD debug panel (top-right in GraphCanvas)
+- Profile performance impact using browser dev tools

+# Vue Node Widgets
+
+This directory contains Vue components for rendering node widgets in the ComfyUI frontend.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Creating a New Widget
+
+1. Create a new `.vue` file in this directory
+2. Follow the widget component patterns from existing widgets
+3. **Implement Level of Detail (LOD)** - see [LOD Implementation Guide](./LOD_IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md)
+4. Register your widget in the widget registry
+5. Add appropriate tests
+
+### Widget Component Structure
+
+```vue
+<template>
+  <!-- Your widget UI -->
+</template>
+
+<script setup lang="ts">
+import { computed, toRef } from 'vue'
+import { useLOD } from '@/composables/graph/useLOD'
+
+const props = defineProps<{
+  widget: any
+  zoomLevel: number
+  readonly?: boolean
+}>()
+
+// Implement LOD for performance
+const { lodScore, lodLevel } = useLOD(toRef(() => props.zoomLevel))
+
+// Your widget logic
+</script>
+
+<style scoped>
+/* Widget-specific styles */
+</style>
+```
+
+## Level of Detail (LOD) Implementation
+
+**All widgets must implement LOD for performance with large graphs.**
+
+See the comprehensive [LOD Implementation Guide](./LOD_IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md) for:
+- What LOD is and why it matters
+- Step-by-step implementation examples
+- Common patterns and best practices
+- Design collaboration guidelines
+- Testing recommendations
+
+## Widget Types
+
+### Input Widgets
+- Text inputs, number inputs, sliders
+- Should always show the input control
+- Show labels and validation at appropriate zoom levels
+
+### Selection Widgets  
+- Dropdowns, radio buttons, checkboxes
+- Show current selection always
+- Progressive disclosure of options based on zoom
+
+### Display Widgets
+- Read-only text, images, status indicators
+- Consider whether content is readable at current zoom
+- Hide decorative elements when zoomed out
+
+### Complex Widgets
+- File browsers, color pickers, rich editors
+- Provide simplified representations when zoomed out
+- Full functionality only when zoomed in close
+
+## Performance Guidelines
+
+1. **Use LOD** - Essential for good performance
+2. **Optimize renders** - Use `v-memo` for expensive content
+3. **Minimize DOM** - Use `v-if` instead of `v-show` for LOD elements
+4. **Test at scale** - Verify performance with 100+ nodes
+
+## Testing Your Widget
+
+1. **Unit tests** - Test widget logic and LOD behavior
+2. **Component tests** - Test Vue component rendering
+3. **Visual tests** - Verify appearance at different zoom levels
+4. **Performance tests** - Test with many instances
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Widget Value Synchronization
+```typescript
+// Keep widget value in sync with LiteGraph
+const value = computed({
+  get: () => props.widget.value,
+  set: (newValue) => {
+    props.widget.value = newValue
+    // Trigger LiteGraph update
+    props.widget.callback?.(newValue)
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### Conditional Rendering Based on Widget Options
+```typescript
+const showAdvancedOptions = computed(() => 
+  props.widget.options?.advanced && lodLevel.value === 'full'
+)
+```
+
+### Accessibility
+```vue
+<template>
+  <div 
+    :aria-label="widget.name"
+    :aria-describedby="showDescription ? 'desc-' + widget.id : undefined"
+  >
+    <!-- Widget content -->
+    <div 
+      v-if="showDescription"
+      :id="'desc-' + widget.id"
+      class="sr-only"
+    >
+      {{ widget.description }}
+    </div>
+  </div>
+</template>
+```
