A node runs when something it reads was published, not merely when something
upstream of it ran — worth saying now that it is true, since it is what a
reader relies on when a rate-limited port goes quiet. Plus `FLOW_MAX_CASCADES`
in the engine's configuration table.

And stop its drain loop asking for the whole of `stats()` every twenty
milliseconds — four round trips a poll, competing with the engine for the
connection it is measuring.

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.

The limit was applied in `apply_outputs`, which the executor reaches after the
item is off the queue — so a subscriber told to publish every 15s still cost a
queue entry, a `cascade_started`, a run record and a walk of everything
reachable from it per inbound message. Seven relay nodes behind one inverter
ran 192 times a minute to publish six.
Two halves, matching the two shapes it takes:
`trigger()` now keeps a value whose every port is inside its window and
journals nothing at all. The window split came out of `_throttled` as a
read-only `_window_split`, so the question is asked the same way in both
places and the exact split is still made once, at claim time.
A cascade carries the names it actually published, and the wave runs only the
nodes something in that set feeds. A node whose triggering inputs were all
held back is completed without running, which frees its own consumers to be
judged the same way — the case where a node re-published 619 messages a minute
off inputs that changed six times. Redeliveries and emissions carry no such
set and still walk everything, since one has a half-finished wave to finish
and the other is the value already being in state.
Skipping a node can make one ready that the scheduling pass has already walked
past, so `submit_ready` runs to a fixpoint. That also closes the same latent
hole on the replay path, where a done-marker skip could strand a join with no
future outstanding to come back for it.
Measured with the new `scripts/bench_engine.py`, 500 messages through the
house's shape: a limited source went from 500 cascades / 3500 node runs /
5009 events to 1 / 7 / 19, publishing the same 8 values; an unlimited source
into limited relays took the node reading them from 500 runs to 1.

`RedisWorkQueue.stats` read XPENDING, which counts entries delivered to a
consumer and not yet acknowledged — work in progress. Entries sitting in the
stream undelivered were counted nowhere, so an engine hours behind reported
itself idle: on the house, `pending: 4` while the group's lag was 1554.
The group's own `lag` is the missing number. `backlog` now carries it on both
queues (`len(_items)` in memory), leads the health tile, and a sustained one
publishes `engine_degraded` from the timer thread — named with the flow most
of the waiting work belongs to, sampled from the undelivered tail, since that
is the actionable half. It is a summary problem rather than a /utils/health
503: a backlog should not restart the container.
Also drops the keyspace `scan_iter` `stats()` did per poll to count parked
items — it walked every state and idempotency key twice per ten seconds — for
a set the park/unpark path maintains.

Clearing a node's last error on the engine published nothing, so a second
browser kept the marker until its next snapshot. One event carries the
qualified node; the receiving client drops the marker without refetching.

`POST /runs/flows/{name}` hardcoded `cause: "api"`, so every row in the

closed to the values the column knows — the dashboard sends nothing and stays

`ADVISORY_ISSUES` moves next to `ValidationIssue` in pipeline.py, and the
model derives an `advisory` flag from its own code, so the distinction the
engine already made ships to the client instead of being re-guessed there.
The dock keeps its summary in `--destructive` only when a real fault is
among the issues and paints an advisory row `--muted-foreground`; the
canvas leaves advisories off a node's dot and border entirely, since node
status has three colours and no warning tier.
biome checks the generated `openapi.json`, which nothing formats since the
SDK script dropped its format pass — ignore it like the other generated
files.

Saving panels replaces the whole list, so the spec's setup deleted every
panel it had not created — and with it the credential of the screen on
it. It now appends to the stored list and puts the original back in
teardown, which also removes its own panel.

A dashboard whose canvas matches the screen came out at 95% of it: the
panel and view routes inset the canvas by a further 16px, on top of the
margin the grid already keeps from its own edges. Two margins, one of
them costing the scale. The padding now applies only to the stacked
phone layout, which has no canvas to shrink.
A slider's tick labels are the third row of a control that has three,
and the first thing a short tile runs out of; `ticks: false` drops them
and keeps the reading and the track. The house's two sliders set it.
The 1024x600 preset is named for what it is rather than for a diagonal
it may not have — the same resolution is sold as a seven-inch panel and
as a ten-inch one.

A cache hit still replays no emissions — those values were the story of an
execution that is not happening — but the run they were recorded in is now
written on the row (`run_node.cached_from`), and the metrics endpoints read the
series back from there. So a reused run answers `run.metrics("train.loss")`
with the same points the run that trained did, rather than looking like a run
that produced no numbers at all. Pointed at rather than copied: a sweep of 500
reusing one frozen node would otherwise duplicate its curve 500 times.
That needed the cross-flow restore fixed first. The cache key has no flow in
it while the stored outputs are named for the flow that produced them, so
`quick.prepare` getting a hit from `train` wrote `train.dataset` into `quick`'s
state and the next node was called without its argument. One rule now covers
both halves: `requalify` reads a name owned by one flow as the same name in
another, applied to the restored outputs, to the node id behind the pointer,
and to the series names on the way out. Reuse across flows is kept.
Also: `@run:<id>.<output>` and a bare `sha256:` digest resolve on every input,
not only artifacts. Chaining a run's json config into the next one from a shell
meant pasting the whole object inline, and the CLI could not even send the
spelling — `_coerce` died in `json.loads` before the engine saw it. Both
spellings are reserved on every input now, `str` included, and `_from_run`
returns whatever the run's result holds rather than only a reference.

Four things from a testing pass.
`fluksio serve` printed its own lines through the root logger, which has no
handler and falls back to `INFO:fluksio.cloud.connector:...` — beside uvicorn's
aligned output it reads like something went wrong. The engine's loggers and
alembic's now use uvicorn's own handler. Named rather than configuring the
root: httpx logs every portal call at INFO and none of that is printed today.
`fluksio enroll` writes its config from another process, so an engine already
serving never learned it had been paired. It now looks for one every few
seconds and dials when it appears. `load()` rather than `exists()`, or a file
that does not parse would be restarted forever.
`fluksio status` says where the installation stands with its portal — never
paired, linked, or paired and unreachable, which is the one worth acting on.
`--seed` and `--timeout` had no help text at all. Both say what they are for
now, and the docs say what a seed is actually for: recorded on the run, part of
its input digest, and passed to an input named `seed` when the flow declares
one, so the number a run is labelled with is the one the code drew from.

`runs --local` already exists for the reason status needs it: the flows and the
history are in this directory, and looking at them should not need a server.
Watching still does — an in-process engine is the command itself, so nothing
could change under it — and says so rather than sitting on a still frame.
Found setting up a sandbox that drives the SDK entirely through --local.

Two halves of the same gap: the CLI could start work but not show you any.
`fluksio status` draws the home screen's top half in a terminal — health and
what is wrong with it, every flow with its state and node count, and the
recent runs and failures under them. `--watch` keeps it there. Rich does the
drawing; it was already installed under fastapi's own CLI, and is named now
because a command depends on it.
`fluksio run` with no parameters at a terminal asks for them, one line per
declared input with its declared value in brackets — so Enter through the lot
is what running the defaults looks like, and an artifact input takes the
`@run:` spelling the engine now resolves. A scripted run is untouched: passing
any parameter, or piping the command, skips the questions, as does --defaults.

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.

compose.dev.yml mounts the source over the image's own copy so `--reload`
means something in a detached local stack, and mounts the Playwright report
out to the host. Under act_runner the daemon is a sibling of the job rather
than its host: it resolves those paths against its own filesystem, finds
nothing, and mounts empty directories. So the backend reported "Path does not
exist fluksio/main.py" for a file the image plainly ships, and every shard
uploaded nothing — "No files were found with the provided path:
frontend/blob-report".
compose.ci.yml now puts backend's volumes back to what compose.yml declares
and drops Playwright's entirely; the shard copies its report out of the
container before the teardown instead.

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.

Four things had drifted. It told you to run `fluksio login` two lines above
saying `serve` signs you in — one of the two had to go, and it is the login.
It ran `fluksio sync` before `fluksio run`, which `run` now does itself. The
pipeline snippet passed `prepare` and `evaluate` to `Flow` without importing
them, so copying it got a NameError on the one example that matters. And the
site link was relative, which resolves to nothing on the page this file exists
to be — pypi.org.
Added one sentence, on installing into the environment you already work in,
because it is the reason a reader's own imports keep working and there is
nowhere else on this page they would learn it.

**The portal link puts itself back up.** It already retried a connection that
raised, but a session that ended *cleanly* — a portal restarting, a proxy
closing an idle socket — returned normally and went straight back round the
loop with no wait at all, so an engine could spin against a portal that was
merely saying goodbye politely. Every ending now reconnects on a delay, and
the delay turns on whether the attempt got as far as attaching: one that stood
up and dropped is a network event and retries at once, one that never stood up
waits longer each time. Jittered, so a portal coming back is not met by every
installation it serves in the same instant. Ping timeouts are named rather
than defaulted, since they are what bounds how long a suspended laptop's dead
socket looks alive, and the keepalive task is awaited so the reason a link
went reaches the log instead of the garbage collector.
**`fluksio enroll <code>`** is the whole command now; hub.fluksio.com is the
default and `--portal` names another. The one command run before anything
works should not need two flags.
**`fluksio run` syncs first.** The reason a run exists is usually the edit
before it, so remembering to sync was remembering to do something the computer
could do — including the worker refresh, which is what makes an edit to your
own package take effect at all. `--no-sync` opts out for a tight loop.
That last one needed discovery fixed: it only ever looked at top-level `*.py`,
so a repository whose code is in a package — the ordinary shape — found
nothing from its own root. It now descends into the packages it holds.

Two things a local install should not have asked for.
`fluksio serve` now signs you in. Logging in to your own machine was a
formality — the password was printed by the same process that would have
checked it, and the database it authenticates against sits in the directory
the token goes into — so `serve` mints the token itself and says where it put
it. `fluksio login` is left for an engine somewhere else.
And an installation is `.fluksio` beside the code, found the way `.git` is,
rather than one `~/.fluksio` for the machine. A repository with its own venv
was already getting its own engine; it now gets its own flows, run history and
token too, instead of three repositories sharing one database and fighting
over one port. `--global` asks for the shared one, `--data-dir` still names
any directory, and when both exist the banner says which you are looking at
and how to reach the other.
The directory ignores itself from within — a `.gitignore` of `*`, the way uv
writes one into `.venv` — because it holds a credential and a database, and
neither belongs in anybody's history. The token is written mode 600. A login
an older version wrote to ~/.config/fluksio is still read, so nothing that
worked stops working.

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.
