 - Cleared up documentation for various graph-related front-end functions
 - Adopted TypeScript v7 into build and CI pipelines and converted `js/components/graph/Button.js` to `Button.tsx` as a proof of concept
 - Added `.gitattributes` file to standardize to LF line endings and renormalized codebase
+- Added invalid JSON graph test coverage for `saveGraphJSON` in `app/Controllers/Graph.hs`
