Very interesting writeup - the level of disclosure is interesting and appreciated.

The visualization is quite slop though. I was trying to follow along with the "Live Action Stream" but rendering issues mangle the text for a few of the list items (and does not scroll). Text on the node diagram is extremely tiny. I appreciate it even in it's current form, but a little attention to detail would have gone a long way here.

The visualization is absolute useless slop. A Text-Form timeline would have been way more useful. I couldn't hear having to scroll by hand for something that's just textual information.

Agreed! Also, from a UX perspective, I think it’s a weird choice to center the real-time nature of it. I think to a user the most important thing is just understanding the step by step process. Would have been nice to click through steps rather than making it all real-time.
