Optimize topology canvas per the 2026-10-12 plan.

Save path: one atomic POST /views/{id}/commit (edges, ports, styles, node
add/remove, positions) replaces the multi-request save. Edge styles and
manual-edge port edits now go through dirty/undo/save instead of writing
immediately; non-manual edge ports are read-only.

Data safety: UI saves no longer clear MCP node locks or freeze the device
name into the placement label (label_override + omit-means-keep semantics,
also applied to the MCP positions tool). Adding NEs/neighbors with unsaved
edits now saves first instead of silently dropping them. Positions no longer
bypass membership caps, except persisting synthesized child-region icons.

Fixes found in acceptance: nodes added in the same commit kept (40,40)
under autoflush=False; edits on edges deleted in the same save 404'd the
whole save; box-selection drags and arrow-key moves were not marked dirty;
large canvases far from the origin opened blank and locate did nothing
because fitView waits for measurement that onlyRenderVisibleElements never
does (now fitBounds from known geometry).

Also: batch N+1 lookups in graph/positions, deterministic truncation,
outside-peer scan excludes internal edges, split TopologyPage into hooks,
fix flaky UME/LLDP port test, add scripts/topology_clear_frozen_labels.py.
