Research direction

Start by reading the related Blockly issues (#295, #1536, and #1737) and reviewing the four referenced Blockly commits to understand the intended touch handling. Test the workspace on a mobile touch device with a pinch gesture; done means the workspace zooms as expected without breaking existing interactions.
