Move the imgui-node-editor subset the build actually compiles from
third_party/imgui-node-editor to src/ui/NodeEditor (version-controlled,
MIT LICENSE included). FindImguiNodeEditor.cmake points at the new
location; CMakeLists excludes src/ui/NodeEditor from UI_SOURCES so it
isn't compiled twice.
Material editor presets: a Presets menu (disabled with no open material)
builds a UsdPreviewSurface + UsdUVTexture graph fed by an st primvar
reader, or a MaterialX standard_surface + image graph fed by a texcoord
node. Each is one idempotent, undoable command that re-normalizes layout.
Create Material becomes an icon button. New nodes route through
FindFreeCanvasSpot so a creation never lands on top of an existing node
(overlapping nodes fight over the editor hit test and become undraggable).
Shader-ball preview: pick a previewable output (terminal or 3/4-component
color-like) instead of always the first output, so scalar-only nodes keep
the whole-material preview rather than failing Storm codegen. Per-shape
camera frame-fit margins and auto-clip framing.
Fixes: DeletePrimCommand::Undo recreates missing destination ancestors
before SdfCopySpec (parent material may have been deleted after the
command ran). ConfigWindowsMoveFromTitleBarOnly stops a content-area drag
in the node canvas from moving the whole Material Editor window.
Temporary (marked for removal once the node-editor drag regression is
diagnosed): main.cpp mirrors LOG_INFO to %APPDATA%\UsdLayerManager\
debug.log; a g_AxNodeEditorDebugLog hook in the vendored editor plus a
[NodeGraph] event-trace block in RenderNodeGraphCanvas dump click/drag/
selection/position-save state.

Browser column lists all scene materials plus a searchable create-node
list; Show Graph (or double-click) loads a material into the node-graph
work area. The graph shows the entire network including MaterialX
(.mtlx) node graphs, resolving connections through NodeGraph boundaries
via UsdShadeUtils::GetValueProducingAttributes, with layered auto-layout
for nodes lacking authored uiPosition. Canvas navigates viewport-style
(Alt+MMB pan / Alt+RMB zoom) and TAB opens a Nuke-style search popup.
Selecting a node shows a typed property editor (live-apply, one undo
command per edit) and previews that node's output on the shader ball.
The preview renders through its own Hydra engine into a scratch stage
that composes the material via a reference to the source root layer (so
referenced .mtlx materials work), re-renders until progressive delegates
(Arnold/Cycles/Embree) converge, and lights with HDR dome presets
(External/Room/Interior/Sunset; CC0 Poly Haven EXRs fetched at CMake
configure). texture:format is authored latlong explicitly - left
automatic, hdArnold falls back to Arnold's angular fisheye default -
and hdCycles gets a -90 X pole rotation to match Storm's +Y-pole
sampling.
Mutations go through new ICommand subclasses (create shader node,
connect/disconnect attrs). imgui-node-editor is vendored (gitignored)
with a local one-line patch: c_ScrollButtonIndex 1->2 for MMB pan.
