}get_designAnswer
Read the design currently on the canvas: nodes (with typeId, label, overrides, groupId), edges (source/target + ports), groups (zones/regions).

}apply_designAction
Replace the canvas with a new design (undoable). Nodes: {id, typeId, label?, group?, overrides?, x?, y?} — positions auto-layout when omitted. Edges: {source, target, sourcePort?, targetPort?} — ports default to the first out/in port. Groups: {id, kind: zone|region|vpc, label?}; nodes join via their "group" field. Validate typeIds with list_components first.

}get_analysisAnswer
Static + live analysis of the current design: single points of failure, composite availability, monthly cost, CAP trade-off warnings, and capacity headroom (headroom needs live sim traffic).
