Follows the portal: the noun is "instance" everywhere the app says it —
UI strings, CLI output, error details, docs and comments. The wire keys
(`instance_id`, `instance_token`) and the hub route this calls move with it.
An existing cloud.json is adopted rather than refused: without the key
alias the dataclass fails to parse, which the caller swallows and reads as
"never enrolled" instead of "reconnect".
`instance_key` on a node type becomes `target_key`. It means the outside
thing a node points at, which is a different sense of the word, and keeping
both would put two meanings of "instance" in one codebase.

A wheel whose top-level module is `app` collides with anything else in a
user's venv, so the package that is about to be published takes the name
it is published under. Only the Python package moves; the repo, the
Docker WORKDIR and the compose project keep theirs.

Every one of these could be written as a function node, and until now had
to be. But nine node types account for most of what an actual Node-RED
installation contains — inject alone is placed 58 times, change 62 — and
a rule you fill in reads better on a canvas, and survives editing better,
than the same five lines repeated eighty times.
Inject, switch, change, filter-unchanged, join, trigger, command, file
and ntfy. They configure themselves through the editor's generated form,
so none of them needed frontend work beyond an icon.
The stateful ones (filter-unchanged, trigger) keep what they remember in
the engine's own state under a reserved prefix, never as a message. That
is the line: code you write is a pure function of its inputs, node types
the engine ships may remember things.
Verified against a live instance — a hook feeding change into
filter-unchanged into switch scales a raw reading, swallows a change
inside the deadband, and routes the rest to the right branch.
