ChuckandClaude Opus 5 90d6d91c27 feat(web): style-editor widget -- a row per element instead of 65 accordions
Rendered element by element, a realistic scoreboard's customization block
is 65 nested sections, and reaching one per-mode font size takes five
levels of expanding. The widget collapses that to one compact row per
element -- font, size, colour, X, Y -- with a tab per declared mode.

It emits ordinary inputs under the same dotted names the generic renderer
would produce, so the save/validate/merge pipeline is untouched: no hidden
JSON blob and no new server-side parsing. It is driven entirely by the
schema block it is handed, so fields added to the schema later appear
without editing the widget. If it fails to load or throws, the generic
nested rendering it replaces is left in place.

Fixing two things the save path got wrong for nullable fields, found by
posting what the widget actually emits:

- The indexed-array recombiner (text_color.0/.1/.2 -> one list) compared
  the declared type to the string 'array', so a per-mode colour, typed
  ["array", "null"], was never reassembled and failed validation on save.
  _parse_form_value_with_schema had the same comparison.
- A blank nullable field became [] rather than None, which then failed the
  minItems the colour array declares. Null is the inherit sentinel, so it
  has to survive.

And two things the widget itself got wrong, found by looking at it:

- An unset base control fell back to the select's first option, so an
  untouched scoreboard claimed every element used 10x20.bdf -- and the
  size box then locked itself to that bitmap font's fixed size. Base
  controls now show the schema default; mode controls stay blank, because
  blank there means inherit.
- Elements arrived alphabetised (Detail and Odds above Score). Flask's
  JSON provider sorts keys, so declaration order has to be stated
  explicitly; expand_style_elements now emits x-propertyOrder, which the
  generic renderer already honoured too.

Size is disabled and shown as fixed for a bitmap font, using the
scalable/native_size the font catalog now reports.
