Rename time-series charts and plots to "graphs" - #593
Merged
Conversation
Time-series visualizations are graphs; "chart" is reserved for the nautical sense and for chart.js's own API. Renames the widget, dialog, config-panel, service and util modules, their exported classes and interfaces, the non-persisted selectors, the CSS class names and the icon sprite id. Also removes the KIP "dataset" concept from code: the app-level dataset registry and its client-side recorder went away in the v12 config upgrade, so the interfaces named after the removed DatasetService now describe graph series. chart.js's own datasets keep their name. The widget-data-chart and widget-windtrends-chart selectors are the persisted widget type in stored dashboards, so they keep the old spelling until a config migration renames them (#592).
Follows the widget rename: the Realtime Data Plot is now the Data Graph
("Realtime" dropped because it seeds from the History API), and the help
docs, README and CLAUDE.md say graph throughout. Nautical uses stay:
chart plotter, nautical charts, and AIS COG plotting.
Picks up the renamed component class names, the Data Graph widget name and description, the datagraphWidget icon id and the Graph Label default. No persisted config key changes.

The dialog.service remark still said "history chart dialog" (the comment sweep skipped the line because it also names chart.js), and the display-options spec still labelled its suite ChartOptionsComponent. Also drops the minigraph spec's cast into the private chart.js instance: lineChartData is the same object the chart is built from, so asserting on it is equivalent without reaching through a private field.

A reader who never saw the diff cannot use "pre-rename spelling"; what they need is that the string is the saved widget type and that changing it costs a migration.
Both the README and the History-API help file claimed graphs fall back to live data without a provider. They do not: getValues returns null, the stream emits HISTORY_UNAVAILABLE and completes without ever starting the live tail, so the widgets show "History data unavailable" and the dialog reports no data. Live-only is the behavior of the other case in that bullet — a provider that is installed but has not recorded the path — so the two are now separated.

Motivation
Time-series visualizations were called three things at once — chart, plot and graph — in a marine app where "chart" already means a nautical chart and "plot" already means position plotting ("Plot target COG vector", "chartplotter"). Issue #591 settles it: they are graphs, in the UI, the docs and the code.
This supersedes #126 (which chose "plot") and redoes the wording PR #294 shipped under that choice.
Approach
User-facing wording.
Realtime Data PlotbecomesData Graph— "Realtime" is dropped rather than translated, because the widget seeds from the History API. Help docs, README and the config panel say graph throughout. Two strings that predate #294 and still said "chart" are fixed: the default widget title (Chart Label→Graph Label) and the history-unavailable hint. The three config toggles that already said "Graph" now match everything else. "Wind Trends" keeps its name — it describes what the graph illustrates.The KIP "dataset" concept is gone from code. The app-level dataset registry and its client-side recorder were removed by the v12 config upgrade, so
widget.service.tstelling users the widget "Requires the Skip Dataset to be configured" was not merely off-vocabulary, it was false. The interfaces named after the removedDatasetServicenow describe graph series, and the config panel's "Dataset" section header is now "Series". chart.js's owndatasetskeep their name.Code identifiers. Directories, files, component classes, interfaces, non-persisted selectors, CSS class names and the
datachartWidgetsprite id all move to graph. chart.js's API surface (Chart,ChartConfiguration,chart-registration.util, the test shims) and every nautical use (chart plotter, nautical charts, AIS COG plotting) are untouched — verified per occurrence.Nothing persisted changed. The
widget-data-chartandwidget-windtrends-chartselectors double as the stored widgettype, and the ten config keys (datachartPath,showMiniChart,verticalChart,datasetAverageArray, the fourshowDataset*ValueLineflags, …) stay as they are. Renaming them needs a config migration, which is #592, gated on a version bump that happens for another reason. A comment at each selector says why it does not match its class name.Fly-by fix
b0f0b316corrects a factual error in the README and the History-API help file, found while reviewing the wording: both claimed graphs fall back to live data when no history provider is installed. They do not —getValuesreturnsnull, andgetBackfillThenLiveemitsHISTORY_UNAVAILABLEand completes without ever starting the live tail, so the widgets show "History data unavailable" and the dialog reports no data. Live-only is the behavior of the other case that bullet had merged in: a provider that is installed but has not recorded the path.Verification
npm run cipasses: lint,snc, 2103 tests across 179 spec files, and the MCP schema gate.npm run build:prodsucceeds. The schema artifact is regenerated — it changes only for the renamed class names, widget name, description, icon id and default label; no persisted key moves.Checked in a real browser against the perf-harness mock Signal K server: the widget picker shows Data Graph with the new description and its icon, the Numeric description reads "background mini graph", Freeboard-SK still reads "chart plotter", and a placed widget renders and streams normally.
