+- What was implemented: Yjs CRDT integration for conflict-free node/edge synchronization across multiple collaborators
+- Files changed:
+  - `package.json` / `package-lock.json` - Added `yjs` dependency
+  - `src/lib/collaboration/crdt.ts` - New module: `CRDTManager` class wrapping Y.Doc with Y.Map for nodes (keyed by node ID) and Y.Map for edges (keyed by edge ID), broadcast via Supabase Realtime channel, debounced persistence (2s)
+  - `src/lib/collaboration/realtime.ts` - Added `onChannelSubscribed` callback to `RealtimeCallbacks` type, invoked after channel subscription to allow CRDT connection
+  - `src/app/editor/[projectId]/FlowchartEditor.tsx` - Added CRDTManager initialization from DB data, channel connection via `onChannelSubscribed`, bidirectional sync (local→CRDT via useEffect on nodes/edges, remote→local via callbacks), Supabase persistence on debounced timer
+- **Learnings for future iterations:**
+  - Yjs updates are serialized as `Uint8Array`. For Supabase Realtime broadcast (which uses JSON), convert to `Array.from(update)` for sending and `new Uint8Array(data)` for receiving.
+  - The CRDT uses an `isApplyingRemote` flag to prevent echo loops: when applying remote updates, observers skip re-notifying React state (since the state setter is what triggers the change). Similarly, `isRemoteUpdateRef` in FlowchartEditor prevents local→CRDT sync when the change originated from a remote update.
+  - Y.Map stores serialized JSON strings (not objects) as values to avoid Yjs's nested type complexity. This means each node/edge is independently merge-able at the entry level.
+  - The `onPersist` callback captures `characters` and `variables` from the effect closure — this means the persisted data always uses the character/variable state at the time the effect was created. For full correctness in a production system, these should be passed dynamically.
+  - The CRDT document is initialized once from `migratedData` (the lazy-computed initial state). The `initializeFromData` call uses an 'init' origin to distinguish initialization from local edits.
+  - The `onChannelSubscribed` callback pattern allows the CRDT to connect to the channel only after it's fully subscribed, avoiding race conditions with broadcast messages arriving before the listener is set up.
+  - Pre-existing lint errors in ConditionEditor.tsx, OptionConditionEditor.tsx, and ShareModal.tsx are from prior stories and unrelated to this change.
