A device reports its board, screen, camera and ports from its own
credential (16 KB, schema 1, replacing the last report), and the flows
are validated against it again. The node panel turns a reported port's
config schema into a form, a reported screen is a canvas preset and a
touch screen's first report turns Touch friendly on. An offline device
node is degraded: amber on the canvas, a warning on Home, never a fault.
- NodeDef `device`/`device_policy` become `worker`/`worker_policy`, the
issue `ignored_device` becomes `ignored_worker`, and the SDK's `@node`
takes `worker=` and `worker_policy=`
- FlowStore._migrate renames the keys in published and draft documents
once, bumping their version; a queued run's `needs` reads the old key
- placement passes the label as `label`, client regenerated
- docs: worker placement wording, MCP issuer without DOMAIN, device rows in
the CLI data directory and the API table, device links in compose comments
- flow/nodes/device.py: `device` node with params `device` and `config`;
provides the device's `in` ports, requires its `out` ports without
waking anything, never run (Node.passive), down "Offline" from presence
- DeviceDef.io and DevicePort go; GET /devices/{id} computes `io` and
`bindings` from the device nodes of published flows, in a fixed order,
cached by FlowStore.revision; the credential's scope comes from them
- issues `unknown_device` and `device_port` (wired twice; against a report
the wrong direction or dtype, or unlisted as advisory), rechecked when a
device is created or deleted; ValidationIssue.advisory is a field
- a device publishing on a bound port is credited to its node by the
server; the panel endpoint kind is gone from `_endpoints` and the canvas
- a rebuild that moves a device's bindings sends `dashboard_changed` with
an empty name, which the firmware refetches on
- startup moves each device's `io` rows into device nodes in the flows
declaring their messages, draft and published, one commit; rows no
flow declares are logged and left out
- frontend: Device node settings (device, Publishes, Follows, a port
picker from a report), palette shortcuts per reported port, DeviceDetail
lists bindings with "Use in flow" in place of the I/O editor
- docs: devices, flow editor, node types, issues, API
- flow/devices.py: DeviceDef in FLOWS_DIR/_devices/<id>.json, committed under
the flow store's write lock, 409 on a stale version; nonces in DEVICES_FILE
outside git; in-memory presence announced as device_status
- api/routes/devices.py: CRUD, pairing with an optional {name, board,
firmware}, a pending list adopted without a code from the LAN only, unpair;
/panels/pair, /panels/pair/{code} and GET /panels/{id} kept as aliases,
PUT /panels/ gone
- _device_may replaces _panel_may, JWT claims unchanged
- panels.json moves into devices once at startup, then .migrated
- MCP list_devices, get_device; search category device
- Devices tab (list, detail with presence, pairing, ordered dashboards,
touch, I/O), PanelsDialog removed, serialised optimistic saves
The backend image now builds the SPA and serves it on the API's own origin
(fluksio/spa.py), so an instance is a single container with no proxy, DNS,
port 80 or .env: `docker compose up -d` with the new compose.yml runs it on
localhost:8080. It starts on fluksio serve (persisted secret key, first
admin printed once) and brings its own Redis when REDIS_HOST is unset.
Slimmer: python:3.13-slim, no dev group, uv once, fastapi without the cloud
CLI. Optional features are per-feature extras (mqtt, influx, email, sentry,
ml, server for all) picked with the EXTRAS build argument; numpy moved to
`ml`. ffmpeg left the image for imageio-ffmpeg via the Modules screen.
The operator stack runs the same image with app. and api. routed to it; the
nginx frontend service, the LAN nginx proxy and DOMAIN in the backend are
gone, and the MCP issuer is FRONTEND_HOST.
ai/client.py streams the completion and puts the chunks back together
(Assembler), covering OpenAI's piecewise tool-call arguments, Ollama's whole
calls, OpenRouter's comment lines, unnumbered calls and in-stream errors.
The turn emits a delta event per piece and a message per round as before,
and the chat grows the last answer as deltas arrive.
react-markdown, lazy-loaded with the first answer (37 kB gzip chunk, main
bundle unchanged). No raw HTML, images dropped, links open in a new tab.
The system prompt asks for lists, inline code and fenced code blocks.
faster-whisper and piper as plain Function nodes, the mic -> STT -> logic ->
TTS -> speaker wiring, the Modules manifest they need (uv pip compile, av<19)
and measured sizes, memory and CPU times. Modules docs now say uv pip sync
installs no dependencies.
The hello carries the fluksio-worker version. An agent refused for an older
protocol stays listed as Needs upgrade until it attaches again. Docs gain an
Upgrading workers section.
The connector now serves /mcp, its OAuth documents and /hooks/ besides
/api/v1/, refuses any dot segment (httpx resolves them, which carried
/api/v1/../../mcp onto the MCP mount), addresses calls to the hub's host,
and bridges served sockets by calling the app with a websocket scope.
A hook without a secret answers the tunnel with the 404 (or 1008) of a
wrong secret. Requests through the hub get the hub's issuer, resource and
consent page in the OAuth metadata and the 401, and the MCP host check
admits the hub while enrolled.
Every datetime the API emits for versions (flow summaries' updated_at,
runs' created/started/finished with flow_version) is already ISO 8601
with Z or +00:00. A test holds it and the API docs say so.
DELETE /runs?flow= removes every Run row of the flow but left its flow_run
rows, so a deleted flow kept appearing in the history. history=true now
drops those too, and the flow delete dialogs (editor and bulk) send it when
"Also delete its runs" is ticked.
Its entries are the cards present, and a local child's allocation is
named through them, so under =2,3 card 0 is device 2. Remote workers
keep mapping against their own mask.
POST /observability/flush handles what the collector has queued and writes
it, so the soak harness no longer sleeps FLUSH_INTERVAL_S before clearing
its own rows.
A shared source goes live in every flow using it the moment it is saved, so
the write is recorded in the audit trail like a publish. Private source saves
stay drafts and are not audited.
DELETE /flows/library/{name} still answers 409 while nodes use the source.
With detach=true each of them keeps a copy of the code, in the published
flow and the draft, the source is deleted and the running users rebuild.
The generated batch script exported nothing and passed `--token`, which
any user on a shared compute node reads from `ps`. It now exports
FLUKSIO_WORKER_TOKEN after `prerun`, which the worker already reads.
`ConnectorNode.store` keeps short strings per connector package in the
engine's database (`connector_state`, migration f8c3e5a91d27), so the nodes of
one package share them and `fluksio serve` needs nothing new: get, set and
delete, at most 64 kB a value and 256 keys a package. A superuser lists the
keys (never the values) and clears them through `/connectors/{node_type}/state`,
or under Stored state in a connector node's panel. Documented in the connector
contract.
The enrolment exemption covered any *.local host, which mDNS answers with
whoever claims it; it is now localhost, 127.0.0.0/8 and ::1. /docs, /redoc
and openapi.json stay closed in production and otherwise answer only a
loopback caller unless API_DOCS_ENABLED is set, which the dev compose does,
so `fluksio serve --host 0.0.0.0` no longer hands the schema to the network.
fluksio-worker now refuses ws:// and http:// engine and artifact URLs unless
they are loopback or --insecure is given; the engine still accepts both.
An artifact reference must be sha256: plus 64 hex digits before it is joined
into a path, and node code gets the host environment through the engine's
credential denylist instead of all of it.
Writing node source, installing modules and any flow save that adds,
retypes or repoints a code node (Function, Command), edits a Command
node's settings or changes a node's resources.env now answer 403 for
everyone but a superuser. MCP tools and the assistant reach the same
routes, so they inherit the gate. Node types report runs_code.
The editor shows code read-only with a note, disables a Command node's
settings, leaves code nodes and reusable nodes out of the palette and
paste, and the Modules page offers no install.
A worker over FLOW_WORKER_MAX_RSS_MB (--worker-max-rss) when its node
returns is retired instead of kept warm, in the shared pool and in every
declared one; 0, the default, keeps them all. The engine now accounts its
own memory (FLOW_RAM / --ram, else the box or the cgroup limit less 1 GB),
so a node's `ram` declaration holds locally. A declared environment the
shared pool already has is that pool rather than a duplicate set of warm
workers.
A provider set under Settings (OpenAI-compatible; key encrypted in
flow-data/ai.json) turns on an Assistant panel in the sidebar. Each turn runs
the FastMCP tools in-process as the person chatting, streams the rounds over
SSE and keeps one transcript per user. The panel floats on any screen and
shares the editor's lane: a settings panel keeps the top half, the chat the
bottom. The MCP client is now built once, for the endpoint and the chat.
A history recorded before the move (MLflow experiments) had nowhere to
go, since runs were only made by running a flow. Each entry is stored as
it ended: parameters completed and checked like a submit, cause
"import", empty commit and code digest, metrics and artifacts written
as given, nothing queued or announced. Run.external_id (new migration)
makes a second import a no-op and is an export column so a row joins
back. The request is all or nothing and capped at 200 entries;
Client.import_runs pages a longer history.
`fluksio run` walked the working directory and imported every module in
it, which ran a research repository's analysis scripts before the run was
submitted. A flow's origin now records the file and module name that
declared it, and run/sweep import just that, under the same name so the
generated node bodies do not change. A flow with no record still walks,
now skipping what .gitignore covers.
Every code-defined flow reports `flow` changed once on its next sync,
since the origin gained two fields.
A serve that lost the port race had already signed in, so client.json
named a port another engine held and every client talked to that one.
The socket is now bound first and handed to uvicorn.
A run record is a record of what ran, so deleting a flow no longer sweeps its
history: `_forget_runs` is gone from the flow-delete path, and `DELETE /runs/{id}`
is the only thing that removes a run one at a time. The in-flight guard stays —
that is about work, not history.
`DELETE /runs?flow=` is the counterpart to the list's flow filter and what a
reseed needs, sharing the four statements with the single-run delete and
refusing the same way while a run of that flow is still going.
A run whose flow is gone reads as one: `useFlowInputs` reports the 404 rather
than an empty declaration set, so the run page says "flow deleted", explains it,
and disables Retry, which the route would refuse anyway.
The icon variant lost its last caller when the responsive variant stopped
carrying a second cropped image. runOverviewQueryOptions now takes the
refetch interval, defaulting to the 30s the Runs screen and the dashboard
panel want; Home passes 10s so a short run does not linger on the tile.
agents.md spells the API host as api.${DOMAIN}, which is what the rest of
the docs use.
Each was a loose end recorded under `### SDK` in the notepad.
`serve` takes its own pidfile down on SIGTERM. uvicorn restores the handler it
found and re-raises the signal it stopped on, so the default handler ended the
process without unwinding and the `finally` never ran — which is what a stop
sends, and what left `serve.pid` behind.
`serve.log` is cut back past 5 MB by the engine rather than by the screen that
started it, so an adopted engine is bounded too. Gated on its own stdout being
an appended regular file, which is what makes the cut safe: the kernel then
puts the next write at the new end.
Cards are counted from `/dev/nvidia[0-9]*`, so `FLOW_GPUS`/`--gpus` of 0 means
"work it out" the way `FLOW_CPUS` always has. The engine counts, not the
accountant — a remote worker builds one of those from its own inventory, and
detecting there would hand it the engine host's cards. The worker counts last:
what a batch job says it was granted still wins.
`GET /runs/metrics/names` is the distinct over a selection that `--list` and
the terminal's metric picker were approximating by reading the newest run that
had measured anything, which missed a name only an older run ever wrote.
`MetricSink` announces each batch it has written (`run_metric`, carrying the
names). Not a per-point event: one covers up to 500 points or two seconds of
them, and the rows stay the record. The terminal comparison fills in as the
first readings land instead of staying blank until reopened, and the browser
refetches the run and any comparison rather than the list behind them.
`retry --group` pages the list route by `before` instead of stopping at 500.
The terminal dashboard takes the terminal's colours (`ansi-dark`), and the web
UI can re-pair from Settings without disconnecting first.
