Integrate real-time feedback for user interactions (e.g., node highlighting).

Subtask: Integrate real-time feedback for user interactions (e.g., node highlighting)

Task Overview:
Enable real-time visual feedback for user interactions within the React Flow editor, such as highlighting nodes when selected, hovered over, or connected. This feedback will enhance the user experience by making interactions intuitive and responsive.

SMART Criteria

Specific 🎯:
Implement real-time node highlighting and other feedback mechanisms that respond to user interactions, such as selecting, hovering, or connecting nodes. Ensure visual cues (e.g., color changes, outlines) are applied dynamically during these interactions.

Measurable 📏:
Success will be measured by:

Nodes providing clear visual feedback (e.g., color change, outline) when hovered over, selected, or connected.
Smooth, responsive updates to the node appearance without delays.
Positive feedback from at least 90% of test users regarding the clarity and responsiveness of real-time visual feedback.

Achievable 🚀:
This task is achievable by leveraging React Flow's built-in interaction hooks to detect node events (hover, select, connect) and applying dynamic styles using CSS or JavaScript.

Relevant 🎯:
Real-time feedback is critical to making the editor intuitive and interactive, helping users understand their actions, such as selecting or connecting nodes, with clear visual cues.

Time-bound ⏳:
This task should be completed within 3 days, allowing time for testing and ensuring a smooth, responsive user experience.

Subtasks 📝

[x] Add hover effects to nodes that highlight them when the user hovers over them.
[x] Implement visual feedback (e.g., outline or color change) when a node is selected.
[x] Ensure nodes change appearance when connected to other nodes, providing immediate visual feedback.
[ ] Test the real-time feedback on desktop and tablet devices to ensure responsiveness across platforms.

Acceptance Criteria ✅

[x] Nodes provide clear visual feedback (highlighting, color change) when hovered over, selected, or connected.
[x] Node feedback is smooth and responsive with no delays or glitches.
[ ] Positive feedback from at least 90% of test users regarding the clarity and responsiveness of real-time feedback.

Additional Notes 🗒

Ensure compatibility with tablet gestures, including touch-based interactions that trigger real-time feedback.
