Detailed Description

Wires lie flat on the board as one LineBatch3D: that is what buys a flowing animation along them, it stays a single draw call however many wires the board grows, and a line lying on the paper casts no shadow, so the shadow question is simply gone. Two lines per wire when something flows: the ink body and a chevron overlay riding a hair above it, marching at one of flowSteps speeds.

The board owns the geometry; the domain owns what a wire carries. lineOf is asked once per wire and says how to draw it - the circuit kit colours a hot wire in alarm ink and picks the chevron speed relative to the largest current on the board, so a junction visibly splits.
