Expected Behavior
From discussions on #157
I wonder if there is any metadata we could slide into the LightpathState dataclass to use in this space in an efficient way instead of the ad hoc "grab a few signals and make widgets".
Possible Solution
Just as an idea for a follow-up for what to do with the space, what if we extend like:
@DataClass
class LightpathState:
inserted: bool
removed: bool
transmission: float
output_branch: str
state_summary: str = ""
And then devices can provide text to lightpath to include in a label. Just a small idea, there are probably better ways to do this.
Context
#157
The commands widget was removed, and along with it the visibility of hinted signals. it might be nice to see these return, if performance issues can be solved. Implementing this should come with careful consideration of which components are being "woken up" and the ensuing performance impacts
