docs: instance picker on Flow Debugger + Debug View

Note the shared InstancePicker combobox (2026-09-08 design) replacing
the flat instance <select> on both pages, in Component-CentralUI.md's
Flow Debugger and Debug View sections and the CLAUDE.md Flow Debugger
bullet.

### Debug View (Deployment Role)
- Select a deployed instance and open a live debug view.
- Select a deployed instance and open a live debug view — the instance picked through the same shared **`InstancePicker`** combobox as the Flow Debugger, with an `ItemLabel` suffix of `(State)` on each row.
- Real-time streaming of all attribute values (with quality and timestamp) and alarm states for that instance.
- The `DebugStreamService` creates a `DebugStreamBridgeActor` on the central side. The bridge actor opens a **gRPC server-streaming subscription** to the site's `SiteStreamGrpcServer` for the selected instance, then requests an initial `DebugViewSnapshot` over the central→site gRPC command channel (`SiteCommandService`).
- Ongoing events (`AttributeValueChanged`, `AlarmStateChanged`) flow via the gRPC data stream directly to the bridge actor — they do not travel on the command channel.

- **Two modes.** *Live* is a real run — the method script executes on the active central node with tracing on, or a real attribute write goes through the routed-write path and the site's triggered run is polled back — audited like any other call. *Replay* executes nothing: it rebuilds the flow from an existing execution's `ScriptTrace` audit rows plus its `ApiOutbound` / `DbOutbound` / `Notification` rows (`?executionId=` drill-in from the Audit Log drawer's and the Execution Chain page's **Open in Flow Debugger** actions).
- **External lane (v1.1, plan `docs/plans/2026-09-06-flow-debugger-outbound-calls.md`).** Every `ExternalSystem.Call/CachedCall`, `Database.*` and `Notify.Send` a traced run makes is a node on the fourth lane — kinds `ApiCall` / `DbCall` / `Notify` (eyebrows `API CALL` / `DATABASE` / `NOTIFY`), title = the system.method / connection / list, a status pill (`Ok` / `Pending` / `Parked` / `Failed`) plus `sync` | `cached` | `notify`. **One node per operation:** a cached call's or notification's later lifecycle rows (Forwarded → Attempted → Delivered / Parked, written minutes later by the S&amp;F forwarder or the Notification Outbox) fold into the node (`FlowStep.Lifecycle`, a Lifecycle tab in the detail panel with *Delivered by*) instead of drawing four boxes. A sync call sits in the execution chain; a cached call or notification hangs off it on a dashed **async** connector, and a trigger cascade's spawn edge carries a **bolt badge on the connector's riser** — the edge itself keeps an ordinary arrowhead (the bolt was the arrowhead until 2026-09-08, and on the upward Tags→Site hop it read as a broken arrow). The spawn edge starts at the parent's **last write of the attribute the child's `triggerAttribute` names** (`FlowGraphBuilder`); only when the child names no attribute, or the parent never wrote it, does the timestamp rule (last non-async parent step at or before the child) decide — a burst of writes landing in one millisecond used to draw the cascade from the last of them rather than the one that fired it. A Live run returns only the rows the run itself emitted, so a graph left with `Pending` nodes **refreshes itself** through the Replay command every 5 s for up to 2 min (page constants), and a *Refresh outcomes* button re-reads on demand in either mode; the state chip stays *Completed* — pending outbound work is not a failed run. A refresh **merges** the re-read rows into the run's known rows by `EventId` (fresh copy wins) and rebuilds the graph from the union, so it only ever adds nodes: the site's outbound rows reach central's audit store by telemetry seconds after the run returned them inline, and a Replay read taken in between would otherwise erase an already-drawn node (observed on the rig 2026-09-06 with a resolved cached DB write). The union is exact because the inline rows are the very `AuditEvent` objects the site writer persists. **v1.2 (follow-ups plan `docs/plans/2026-09-06-flow-debugger-followups.md`, register row 111 closed):** a folded node carries its `CorrelationId` (`FlowStep.CorrelationId` — the `TrackedOperationId` / `NotificationId`), so the detail panel deep-links to **`/site-calls/report?correlationId=<id>`** / **`/notifications/report?correlationId=<id>`** (*Open in Site Calls* / *Open in Notification report*; both pages accept that query, pre-filter to the one row through an additive per-id query filter — `SiteCallQueryRequest.TrackedOperationIdFilter` / `NotificationOutboxQueryRequest.NotificationIdFilter` — show a removable *Operation* / *Notification* pill and auto-open the row's detail modal; note `NotificationId` is minted as a Guid in **`N` form** — no dashes — so the Notify link passes `N` and the report page normalises any Guid-shaped value to `N`, while `TrackedOperationId` is a `varchar(36)` `D` string and the Site Calls filter binds a `varchar` parameter for the PK seek), and a **`Parked` node offers Retry / Discard in place**: the same site-scope re-check, confirm dialog (Discard = danger) and central→site / Notification Outbox relay the report pages use (`IFlowDebugService.RetryOutboundAsync` / `DiscardOutboundAsync` → `CommunicationService`), then the page re-polls Replay (5 s / 2 min) until the node leaves `Parked`. **Prediction is async-safe:** `FlowDebugService.PredictMethodAsync` resolves route targets by a resolve-and-rewalk loop — its original blocking resolver deadlocked the whole Blazor circuit on the renderer sync context the moment a method routing to a site script was chosen (found 2026-09-06; pinned by a single-thread-pump unit test and the Playwright `FlowDebuggerTests`, which log in through the fixture and run a Live run of an ephemeral method in a real browser).
- **Authorization (arch-review F3).** The page is `RequireFlowDebugger` — `AuthorizationPolicies.FlowDebuggerAccessRoles` = Deployer, Administrator, Viewer — so an auditor can open it and Replay a past execution without the ability to run anything, and `FlowDebugReplayCommand` accepts the same set. **Everything that executes stays Deployer-only:** the three run commands (`FlowDebugRunMethodCommand` / `FlowDebugRunScriptCommand` / `FlowDebugRunValueChangeCommand`), the Live entry-point controls, the parked-node Retry/Discard actions and the `?methodId=` / `?instanceId=` / `?script=` drill-ins; for a non-Deployer the page pins itself to Replay mode.
- **Two entry points** (script entry redesigned 2026-09-08, `docs/plans/2026-09-08-flow-debugger-script-entry-design.md`). An inbound API method (inputs form generated from the method's `ParameterDefinitions`, values coerced by declared type) or a **site script** (Site → Instance → Script pickers, site-scope filtered): a script whose trigger is ValueChange or Conditional shows one *New value for `<attribute>`* field, with the attribute derived from the script's own trigger configuration rather than picked; every other script kind (Call, Interval, Expression, or no trigger) shows a `ParameterValueForm` generated from the script's `ParameterDefinitions`, or a "this script takes no parameters" note when there are none. A method-entry Live run is additionally site-scoped **at route time** on the server (`RouteHelper.WithSiteScope` → `SITE_SCOPE_DENIED`, arch-review F2), so an operator cannot reach a site outside their scope by choosing a method that routes there.

Both entry points pick the target instance through the shared **`InstancePicker`** combobox (2026-09-08, `docs/plans/2026-09-08-instance-picker-design.md`): a text field whose dropdown is the site's area tree (`InstanceTreeBuilder` — all areas collapsed on open, un-areaed instances at the root, orphaned rows surface at the root), typed text filters by instance name and expands to the matches, Enter picks the first visible match, Escape restores the selection.
- **Predicted graph first.** Choosing an entry point renders the statically predicted shape (`FlowShapePredictor`, Script Analysis REQ-SA-7) before anything runs — nodes whose target depends on inputs render dashed; after a run, predicted nodes the run never produced render greyed.
- **Execution path.** `IFlowDebugService` dispatches `FlowDebugRunMethodCommand` / `FlowDebugRunScriptCommand` / `FlowDebugRunValueChangeCommand` / `FlowDebugReplayCommand` to the **per-node `ManagementActor`** through `ManagementActorHolder` (the same seam the HTTP `/management` endpoint uses), so the server enforces the Deployer gate and the active-node refusal. A standby node answers the three run commands with `STANDBY_NODE`, which the page renders as an inline alert with the server message verbatim; Replay is served from any node. The same four commands back the CLI's `flow-debug run-method | run-script | run-value-change | replay`. **The client wait is derived from the server's own bound, not a fixed duration (arch-review F4):** `FlowDebugService.RunAskTimeoutFor(timeoutSeconds)` = the method's `TimeoutSeconds` + the server's `FlowDebugRunner.RunGrace` (10 s) + 15 s client slack, floored at 30 s, and `ValueChangeAskTimeoutFor(waitSeconds)` = the trigger-wait window + 15 s (Replay stays a flat 30 s); the CLI mirrors it with `run-method --timeout-seconds` (default 120, set it to the method's timeout + 25 for long methods) and a `run-value-change` wait of `--wait-seconds + 25`. A long-running method used to be cut off client-side before the server's own grace expired. **The script entry point (2026-09-08) reuses the same two timeout functions by kind:** a call-kind script run waits `RunAskTimeoutFor(script.ExecutionTimeoutSeconds ?? 30)`, a write-kind script run waits `ValueChangeAskTimeoutFor(45)`; the page's `?instanceId=` + `?script=` drill-in replaces the former `?attribute=` query parameter.
- State machine `Idle → Predicted → Running → Completed | Failed | TimedOut`; the status strip shows run number, start, total duration, step/boundary/write counts and the root `ExecutionId` (linking to the Execution Chain page). A run whose route call came back with no child execution and no Site-lane steps shows a *site not traced* note (older site build, or an untraced call). Last entry point and per-method inputs persist in `localStorage`.
