pi ab5ff8ec56 feat: bundle dot-watch helper for live graphviz .dot -> PNG re-render in Studio
pi-studio renders Mermaid natively but has no DOT renderer. Its markdown
preview displays local PNG/JPG/GIF/WEBP images, so dot-watch closes the
loop for Graphviz: edit .dot -> auto-render <name>.png -> Studio
refresh-from-disk shows the update. Uses mtime polling (no inotify dep).

- rootfs/usr/local/bin/dot-watch: the helper (executable)
- Dockerfile.base: COPY + chmod, following the studio-expose pattern
- README.md: 'Graphviz diagrams in Studio' subsection
- CHANGELOG.md: Unreleased entry

graphviz was already in the base image; no new package.

# dot-watch — auto-rerender a graphviz .dot file to PNG on every save.
#
# WHY THIS EXISTS
# pi-studio renders mermaid natively but has no graphviz/DOT renderer.
# Its markdown preview DOES render local image links (.png/.jpg/.gif/.webp),
# and the editor offers "refresh from disk". This helper closes the loop:
# edit a .dot file -> dot-watch regenerates <name>.png -> hit refresh in
# Studio to see the update. Uses mtime polling (no inotify dependency,
# which isn't in the trixie-slim base).
#
# USAGE
# dot-watch <file.dot> [layout] [dpi]
# layout: dot|neato|fdp|circo|twopi (default: dot)
# dpi: output resolution (default: 150)
# env: DOT_WATCH_INTERVAL=<seconds> poll interval (default: 1)
#
# EXAMPLES
# dot-watch /workspace/graph.dot
# dot-watch graph.dot neato 200
