Live previews for charts and research apps

We’ve updated how Village creates and previews charts and research apps. Lightweight views now use a shared set of chart and interface components, so the agent can build them without setting up a separate frontend project for each one.

Ask for a chart, comparison table, or small tool tied to your research. Village creates the app in your workspace, where you can open its preview and inspect the source files. The preview updates as the agent edits, so you can ask for changes while using the result.

For example, you could ask:

Turn these revenue forecasts into an interactive chart with a control for the growth assumption.

The agent builds the view around your data and question. You can then ask it to add another scenario, change the chart, or show the underlying table.

This update brings lightweight charts and existing workspace apps onto the same preview system. Each app runs in its own process, so a failure in one preview does not stop the others.
