+## Description
+
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
+Build the 3D interactive network visualization at graph.jeffemmett.com and implement the edge metadata editor modal. This extends the 2D minimap created in task-041.
+
+Key Features:
+1. **3D Force Graph** at graph.jeffemmett.com
+   - Three.js / react-force-graph-3d visualization
+   - Full-screen, interactive (spin, zoom, pan)
+   - Click nodes to view user profiles
+   - Click edges to edit metadata
+   - Same trust level coloring (grey/yellow/green)
+   - Real-time presence sync with canvas rooms
+
+2. **Edge Metadata Editor Modal**
+   - Opens on edge click in 2D minimap or 3D view
+   - Edit: label, notes, color, strength (1-10)
+   - Private to each party on the edge
+   - Bidirectional - each user has their own metadata view
+
+3. **Expand Button Integration**
+   - 2D minimap expand button opens 3D view
+   - URL sharing for specific graph views
+   - Optional: embed 3D graph back in canvas as iframe

+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
+- [ ] #1 3D force graph at graph.jeffemmett.com renders user network
+- [ ] #2 Graph is interactive: spin, zoom, pan, click nodes/edges
+- [ ] #3 Edge metadata editor modal allows editing label, notes, color, strength
+- [ ] #4 Edge metadata persists to D1 and is private per-user
+- [ ] #5 Expand button in 2D minimap opens 3D view
+- [ ] #6 Real-time updates when connections change
+- [ ] #7 Trust level colors match 2D minimap (grey/yellow/green)
