Description
AuthorNode, AuthorAINode, LicenseNode, EmbargoNode are now palette-backed paradata image nodes with label prefixes A. / AI. / LI. / EB. The importer detects them via (1) explicit _s3d_node_type: description marker or (2) y:ImageNode + label prefix (longest-first, so AI. is not shadowed by A.). Hash-based detection was dropped because palette PNGs can change between yEd saves. The dashed yEd connector (which originally mapped to has_data_provenance) is now reclassified at import based on the target class: AuthorNode/AuthorAINode → has_author, LicenseNode → has_license, EmbargoNode → has_embargo. This avoids requiring dedicated palette connectors. The DP-32 resolver exposes AUTHOR_RULE / LICENSE_RULE / EMBARGO_RULE that look up values at node → swimlane → graph level. Multi-author resolution is supported (all has_author targets joined with ’ ; ’, duplicates deduped). Author display prefers the description field (human-readable data in the 1.5 dev9 palette convention where name holds a short code like A.01) and falls back to name+surname, then to the code. The full exporter writes the 4 node types through paradata_image_generator + palette_resources (palette template is the single source of truth for icons). The GraphMLPatcher round-trips them via a smoke test. Remaining gaps (deferred to v1.6): co_author edge type, Visual Manager integration, Heriverse exporter per-node author metadata (shared with DP-32 Heriverse migration).

Notes
Core import / resolver / exporter loop shipped in 1.5 for the four paradata image nodes. Dashed connector reclassification removes the need for dedicated has_author / has_license / has_embargo yEd styles. co_author edge, Visual Manager integration, and Heriverse per-node author consumption deferred to v1.6.
