Click any marker to swap to that snapshot. Hover to see a tooltip with the snapshot name, time, and change description. The **Snapshot** button on the right takes a quick manual snapshot. The bar is centered at 80% width to clear both the sidebar icon strip and bottom-right controls, and tucks behind the sidebar panel when it's open.
The sidebar list also shows the change type in the meta line below each snapshot (e.g., "5 nodes · Parameters changed").
### 9. Auto-save Before Swap
When you swap to an older snapshot (via the sidebar or timeline), the extension automatically captures a "Current" snapshot of your work-in-progress first. This green-marked snapshot appears on the timeline so you can click it to get back. The marker disappears once you edit the graph (since auto-capture creates a proper snapshot at that point).

**Swap with auto-save:**
1. User clicks **Swap** (sidebar or timeline marker)
2. `captureSnapshot("Current")` saves the current graph state **before** the swap — hash dedup prevents duplicates if nothing changed
2. If the current graph is unsaved work (not already a swapped snapshot), `captureSnapshot("Current")` saves it **before** the swap — browsing between existing snapshots skips this step
3. The target snapshot is loaded into the graph
4. The **timeline** updates: the swapped-to snapshot gets a white ring (active), the auto-saved snapshot gets a green dot (current)
5. Clicking the green dot swaps back; editing the graph clears both markers (the next auto-capture supersedes them)
