 **Editing (Phase 2)**
 - Click an item to select it (blue outline); click empty floor to deselect (Escape/Done too). Dragging still moves. Selecting opens the item panel in the sidebar (replaces tiles / type menu).
-- Item panel (chairs have no rotation controls; every other type does): Rotate 90 button + free angle wheel (0-359, wraps); Lock/Unlock; Delete (also Delete/Backspace key, ignored while typing in an input); "Seats at this table" wheel for tables (per-item override, "Reset to default" link when overridden); Size wheels (0.3-6 m, 0.1 steps; screens show only Length).
+- Item panel (chairs have no rotation controls; every other type does): Rotate 90 button + a circular angle dial (`AngleDial`: drag the knob around the ring, Shift snaps to 15°, arrows/scroll nudge 1°); Lock/Unlock; Delete (also Delete/Backspace key, ignored while typing in an input); "Seats at this table" wheel for tables (per-item override, "Reset to default" link when overridden); Size wheels (0.3-6 m, 0.1 steps; screens show only Length).
 - Rotation turns around the item's center and collision/wall clamping use the rotated bounding box (`boundsOf`). A rotate/size change is pushed back inside the walls, then rejected if it would overlap (`tryUpdate`).
 - Locked items can't be dragged or rotated and show a padlock. (Size, seats and delete are still allowed on locked items.)
 - Delete frees inventory automatically (remaining is derived from `items`).
