Subject: [PATCH] Fix wire tool: clicking a carrier as source did nothing
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The M6 GPU-card refactor set carriers' intrinsic tokRate to 0 and
updated sim.wire() to isCompute(), but the pointer handler still
gated sources on tokRate — so clicking the PC in wire mode was
silently ignored while the cyan outline claimed it was clickable.
Sources now accept carriers and switches, every wire-mode click
answers with a toast (picked / wrong side / not wireable), and the
tutorial spells out click-click, no dragging.
