fix: wire PatternEditor to mode-aware graph mutations

Replace the old disconnected-node addAgentNodeToGraph with the
mode-aware addAgentToGraph so new agents are automatically wired
into the graph topology. Replace the graph-nuking removeAgent
path with removeAgentFromGraph for surgical node removal. Split
emitChange into graph-preserving and mode-change paths so editing
agent properties no longer discards custom positions and edges.
