The engine was I/O-bound on its own state backend. `RedisState.lock()` is one
key — `pipeline:_lock` — for the whole process, taken five times a message at
two round trips each, and every cascade and every node read queued behind it.
Inside it, reading a node's inputs was three round trips per input (an EXISTS
for `in`, then EXISTS and GET for the value), writing was two updates that a
single transaction already gives, and the version counters went one INCR at a
time.
Replaced with the atomic command that was always available: `get_present` is
one MGET and tells a missing key from one holding null, so the lock it used to
be read under bought nothing; value and timestamp land in one `update`, which
is a MULTI/EXEC; `increment_multi` pipelines the counters. `values()` — what
every websocket snapshot calls — is two reads whatever the message count
instead of two per message.
Beside that: every webhook did its blocking XADD on the asyncio event loop
(MQTT already used `to_thread`); the per-execution `NodeOutcome` was built and
validated even with no run watching; `_minute` built a tz-aware datetime per
event on the loop thread to key a dict, and now keys on an int; `move_due`
promoted delayed items one round trip each, every second; `FLOW_MAX_CASCADES`
makes the in-flight ceiling a setting rather than a constant.
`orjson` replaces stdlib json where a message pays for it — state, the
journal, the engine side of the worker pipe. `fluksio-worker` stays
dependency-free, and the run-cache digest stays on stdlib so no stored key is
invalidated. A non-finite number now stores as `null` rather than the bare
`NaN` that was never JSON.
Measured with `scripts/bench_engine.py` against a real Redis, 200 messages:
a five-node chain went from 43.9 to 103.1 msg/s with p50 latency 2110ms →
782ms and p95 3913ms → 1439ms; one source into twenty consumers went from 5.4
to 33.7 msg/s. In memory, twenty consumers went from 187 to 448 msg/s.

Four things the python SDK turned up, each fixed where every client sees it.
A key no port declares is now an error rather than a silent drop, on the
return, the yield and the emit alike — the contract the docs already stated.
The SDK reads literal yields at sync time, so a typo fails before anything
runs, and an emission of one fails the call rather than being logged where
nobody looks.
NaN and infinity are refused at the port. JSON cannot spell either, so one
that travelled came back as a 500, a socket frame that stopped the canvas, or
a metric batch the database dropped whole.
An artifact input takes `@run:<id>.<output>` or a bare digest, resolved on the
engine — so the CLI, the run dialog and a python caller mean the same thing,
and a sweep can pass one at all.
Node timeouts are off by default. The clock measured silence, which a training
node is full of, and remote workers had already stopped enforcing it — their
heartbeat reset it. Now a heartbeat proves the agent rather than the node,
ninety seconds of nothing fails the call either way, and the engine touches
work it is still running so a long node is not redelivered at sixty seconds.

A code node in a batch run is now fingerprinted by its source, its raw
settings and the values it reads — an artifact input counting as its digest,
which is what the content addressing was always for. A run that finds the key
restores what the earlier one returned and skips the node, recorded as
`cached`. The run history is the cache: `run_node.outputs` beside the
`cache_key` the schema already had, no second store. On for code nodes, never
for the built-in and connector types that have side effects; off per node with
`@node(cache=False)` and per run with `--no-cache`.
Emissions are not replayed on a hit, so a cached training node returns its
result without redrawing its curve. Recorded in NOTEPAD.md with the two other
deliberate limits.
`fluksio run --local` boots the real app in the command's own process and
drives it through its ASGI interface behind the ordinary client, so a run no
longer needs a `serve` terminal beside it — same data directory, same history,
and the cache carries between the two. It always waits, because the engine it
starts lives exactly as long as the command.
Also: `fluksio sweep --param lr=0.1,0.01` for the product of the lists,
`run --follow` for a run's numbers as they arrive, Ctrl-C cancelling a waited
run rather than abandoning it, coloured statuses on a terminal, and `name`
made optional on the metrics endpoint so a follower can ask for every series.

The gates have never gone green on the new runners. Three separate reasons:
- backend/Dockerfile shipped Python 3.10 while the code imports typing.Self
and datetime.UTC, so the container exited on import and the suite could not
even load its conftest. The image moves to 3.13 and the packages declare
>=3.12, which is the floor the tests actually pass on; ruff's target follows
and rewrites timezone.utc and asyncio.TimeoutError accordingly. Relocking
drops the 3.10 branch, which bumps FastAPI and so regenerates the SDK.
- frontend/README.md had no trailing newline and two dashboard widgets used
arbitrary text-[…] sizes. Both are em-relative on purpose, so they move to
the inline style the neighbouring ramp already uses.
- Every commit left its own run queued: without a concurrency group a runner
that was offline for a while works through a backlog nobody reads. A stack
that fails to come up now prints its logs before the teardown removes it.

Four small things, each with a device behind it.
An MQTT filter now routes what it subscribed to. `+` and `#` reached the
broker and were then looked up in an exact-match dict, so every message a
wildcard subscription received was dropped in silence.
`json_key` lifts a value out of the object a device wraps it in — Victron
publishes `{"value": 47}` on every path, which was otherwise a Python node
per port.
The trigger node learned `passthrough` and `wait_port`, because how long to
wait can be a value rather than a constant: a rollershutter takes 26 seconds
up and 28 down. A wait of zero sends nothing afterwards and still cancels
what the last message scheduled, which is how a stop is commanded once
instead of forever.
The HTTP sender takes fixed `query` parameters, so an API key is a secret
reference rather than a message on the canvas, and `send_inputs` off for a
request whose inputs are only a trigger.
Also: `delay` accepts fractional seconds, and `TZ` reaches the container, so
a cron expression means local time. Left unset it is UTC, as before.

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.
