Top Entry Left Neighbour

Gallery / Feature Showcase

A section with a `entry: top` port fed by its left neighbour in the same grid row. The connector rises in the inter-section gap to just above the target's top edge, runs across to the port's column, and drops straight in. The port rides the top edge even when the box grows upward to align with a taller row-mate, and the up-leg clears only the header badge rather than overshooting into the shared inter-row channel.
