Feature/change: keep a node that died in the simulation until manually removed #754

@EskoDijk

Description

@EskoDijk

If a node crashes/dies, currently it will be auto-deleted from the simulation. This has some unwanted side effects:

  • user confusion (where did it go / why did it go away)
  • little visual feedback on the crash
  • risk of overwriting node's logs, when starting a new node with same number
  • with automated scripting: risk of getting different node ID's during different runs if sometimes nodes crash. + risk of losing valuable crash output.

This item is to consider a different approach:

  • keep the crashed node in the simulation, in a separate/different state ('dead' ?)
  • in the GUI, show it as grey with the X symbol ('failed') on it.
  • user can manually remove the node e.g. after inspecting logs.
