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

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 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.

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.

The rate the media dtypes could carry was one frame every second or two: each
was a file on the data volume, an event on the socket, and a request back for
the bytes. This closes both halves of that, and they are one feature.
`save_artifact(..., volatile=True)` writes to a `VolatileStore` — the same
content-addressed store, in `/dev/shm`, bounded by size with the oldest falling
out (`ARTIFACT_VOLATILE_BYTES`, 48 MB under the container's raised `shm_size`).
Nothing sweeps it: a frame nobody kept is not worth walking the store to find.
`ArtifactStore.path` falls through to it, which is what lets a volatile frame be
an ordinary reference everywhere else — the dtype check, a panel's digest scope,
`load_artifact` in a node, and the widget's own fetch all work on one unchanged.
`adopt` copies one into the store when a run records it, so "returned media is
kept, emitted media is not" stays true.
The bytes then go down the flows websocket as a length-prefixed binary frame,
sent just ahead of the `message_value` naming them, so a tile has the frame when
it hears the value moved. Nothing is pushed unasked: a client names the messages
it is drawing (`{"type":"media","names":[…]}`), a panel's list is intersected
with the scope it already had, and only the newest frame per name in a batch is
sent — a client that fell behind is not handed frames it would draw over. The
tunnel relays text only, so a screen reached through a portal falls back to
fetching, which is why the rate table now has two rows.
Around the edges: the remote worker's fetch cache is bounded at last
(`FLUKSIO_ARTIFACT_CACHE_BYTES`), since content addressing means nothing in it
ever expires and a media stream fills it with chunks nothing asks for twice; a
port carrying an image draws the frame in the node panel rather than only
saying `image/png · frame.png · 1.79kB`; and an edge chip says that much instead
of a line of hash. The media screenshot stops waiting for `networkidle` — a
camera is a socket that never goes quiet, which is the point of it.

serve: refuse a second engine for one data directory whatever port it was
asked for, using the pidfile and a token this directory signed. The check
runs before the database is touched and before the credential is written,
which is what left every later CLI call pointing at a dead port.
The terminal dashboard is three tabs (Overview, Runs, Logs) with the toolbar
following the focused pane, the engine's output goes to serve.log rather than
down a pipe, and closing the screen stops both reader threads so the prompt
comes back. It adopts a running engine on every start, so stop/start and
restart work on one it did not start, and a stop waits for the process to be
gone before the next start. Enrolment reports itself in the modal.
enroll: a new claim code replaces the pairing instead of being refused. The
code is redeemed before anything is written, mappings to a portal being left
are cleared, and a running engine redials when the stored enrolment changes.
runs: an engine re-queues the runs left `queued` by the one before it, and
`fluksio retry <id>` / `retry --group <sweep>` submits an interrupted run
again with the same inputs and group, recorded through Run.parent_id.

The site read as a design journal: rationale paragraphs, hedges
("deliberately", "on purpose", "genuinely"), meta-commentary about the docs
themselves, and one em-dash every ten lines carrying an aside.
Roughly twenty rationale blocks are gone or reduced to what a reader needs
in order to use the thing. Em-dashes go from 507 to 135, and what is left is
structural rather than prose: list and definition separators, table cells,
and four inside code blocks that quote what the CLI actually prints.
Also: api.example.com becomes api.fluksio.com (the emails stay, since
bootstrap.py really defaults to admin@example.com and RFC 2606 reserves it);
the mqtt table gains the two settings it had drifted behind on and inject's
wording matches the engine; llms.txt lists the two connector pages that were
in the nav but not in it; and the two device/device_policy notes now agree.

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.

`space` ticks runs on the serve dashboard's table and `enter` compares them:
one metric in braille, five distinct hues, and the table of what actually
differs under it. Both halves are routes that already existed — the browser's
own comparison endpoint for the curves, the runs export for the table, whose
input columns are filtered to the ones that vary.
The palette is hue rather than the web's lightness ramp on purpose: five steps
of one brand hue collapse to a single colour on a 16-colour tty.
The screen also subscribes to the engine's event bus over the same websocket a
browser uses, so a run that starts and finishes inside a tick is seen rather
than only recorded. `a` lists what a run left behind and fetches it.

`GET /api/v1/search/` hands the client one flat index of everything worth
jumping to — flows and the nodes inside them, dashboards and the widgets on
them, panels, secrets, modules, workers and alert channels — and cmdk matches
it in the browser, so results narrow while typing without a round trip per
keystroke. A node hit is the one thing no list endpoint could answer: it opens
its flow with that node in focus.
The panel is reached from **Search** above Documentation in the sidebar, or
⌘K anywhere. The flow canvas palette moves to ⌘P, being the narrower of the two.
The panels dialog gains an address (`/dashboards?panels`) so a panel hit has
somewhere to land, and the sidebar logo gets `shrink-0`: the rail's width
animates while the logo is already back, and a flex item short of room is
squeezed rather than clipped.

Three things the one-folder-per-study layout ran into.
**Discovery walks down.** A plain directory is now walked all the way, so
`fluksio sync dev` finds `dev/s1_baseline/study.py` and naming each study is
no longer the price of the layout. Hidden directories, `__pycache__`,
`node_modules` and virtualenvs are left alone, and a package is taken whole.
Two files that would import under one module name are refused, naming both:
Python keeps one module per name, so the second would silently *be* the first
— and a node's generated body imports by that name, so a worker would run the
wrong study's code. The message says the fix, which is an `__init__.py` per
study directory. A module that raises while importing is now a sentence
naming the file rather than an importlib traceback.
**`run` and `sweep` sync downwards too**, so the flow is found from the
repository root without the sync-then-`--no-sync` two-step. A study that will
not import is a warning rather than a stopped run, since a walk meets every
study and a half-finished one two directories away is not this run's problem.
The upload was already a no-op for a flow nothing changed in, so what the walk
costs is import time — `--sync PATH` narrows it, and skipping unchanged
subtrees would need a cache keyed on file state that is deliberately not here.
**`serve` moves off a busy default port** — 8001, 8002, up to twenty — says
which it took, and writes that one into `client.json`. A port given with
`--port` still fails when it is taken, because naming one is asking for it.

Comparing the per-node digest against an engine that does not record one is
comparing against nothing, and reporting every node as changed on every sync
for ever — which is what a client newer than its engine did, since `NodeDef`
drops fields it has never heard of. A node is named now only when both sides
carry a digest, so a no-op sync is `unchanged` again and the signal one syncs
for is back.
That silence had also been the only sign of the mismatch, so sync now names
it: one line saying the engine stored no record of what a node's code reaches,
with both versions in it and what to run. Bumped to 0.1.6 — the digest changed
the stored document's shape, and a version that does not move makes two
different engines indistinguishable, which is the thing it was made
load-bearing for a day ago.
`— draft` was printed whenever there was simply nothing to publish, which
reads as work left unfinished. It is said only when a draft is genuinely
there, and `— published` when one was.

`sync` follows each node function's imports through the project's own modules
— stopping at the standard library, at anything installed, and at Fluksio
itself, whose checkout would otherwise be most of every digest — and records
the file list with what it hashed to. The engine hashes those files again when
the run is claimed, so the fingerprint is live rather than a snapshot, and
falls back to what sync recorded when it cannot see them: a remote worker's
runs used to share one empty digest, and therefore one key.
Three things follow. Editing a helper a node calls into re-runs that node, as
before. Editing something the node never reaches no longer re-runs anything —
a notebook two directories away was invalidating every arm. And
`Run.code_digest` is now the hash of its nodes' digests, so it is neither
looser nor tighter than "the code behind these numbers", which is what makes
it worth joining an exported table on.
`sync` says so too: it compares the per-node digest against the stored one, so
a helper edit prints `train: updated (flow, fit)` instead of `unchanged`. The
digest is read when the document is built rather than when the flow is
declared, so a second `sync()` in one process sees an edit between them.
Also: `fluksio runs` shows only the inputs that differ from what the flow
declares, fitted to the terminal, so a flow taking a few kB of json no longer
wraps every line.
Every existing cache entry misses once — the fingerprint changed shape.

Three things the first export pass got wrong for a real study.
**Dotted paths.** A node returns a record, not a scalar — the numbers arrive
inside `final_metrics` — so `--metrics final_metrics.train_loss` yielded an
empty column and `--metrics final_metrics` yielded the whole record in one
cell. Both sides of the wide table now take dotted paths, and the defaults
reach the same depth: every number a result carries is a column named by its
path, and inputs are compared leaf by leaf, so two configurations differing in
one field give that field as the axis rather than two blobs that are merely
not equal. Lists stay whole — a curve belongs in the long table.
**`--list`.** Metric names are flow-qualified, so `--name train_loss` matched
nothing and said only that. `fluksio export metrics --list` prints the names
the selection carries, and an empty export made with `--name` points at it.
**A version to compare.** The CLI ships ahead of the engine and a stale one
answered a flat 404 with nothing anywhere in the API to tell how old it was.
The engine reports `version` on `/observability/summary`, `fluksio status`
prints it, and a 404 from export now names both versions — or says "older"
when the field itself predates the engine. Bumped to 0.1.5, which is what
makes the number worth reading.
Also formats `flow/metrics.py`, which had been committed unformatted and was
the last `ruff format --check` failure.

`fluksio export metrics` is the long table — a row per run, metric and step —
and `fluksio export runs` the wide one, a row per run with the inputs that
*vary* across the selection as columns beside its final numbers, status,
duration and the commit and digest of the code it ran. Both carry the run id
on every row, which is the join back to the run page and what makes an
exported file auditable. `Client.export_metrics`/`export_runs` answer the same
rows to a notebook.
The engine streams csv or jsonl from two routes declared above `/{run_id}`;
parquet is a client-side conversion behind the new `fluksio[parquet]` extra,
so nobody pays for pyarrow who does not want dtypes kept. The long export
reads each run through `_series`, so a cached node's curve comes with it, and
`--stride` thins each series rather than the concatenation of all of them.
Two things they needed on the way: `GET /runs` takes `?since=` and `?before=`,
so a long history pages by the last row's own timestamp instead of an offset
that shifts under it; and a read that reaches no engine now says so in half a
second rather than seven, because `runs`, `flavors`, `export` and an unwatched
`status` pass `retries=0`. Everything that submits keeps them.

Concurrent runs sat at 4 whatever FLOW_MAX_CASCADES said: that setting bounds
cascades, and the run drivers read a hardcoded MAX_PARALLEL nobody could reach.
FLOW_MAX_RUNS is the knob they read now, --max-runs/--max-cascades/--max-workers
are the same three as flags on serve, and the engine says which numbers it
started with — which is the only way to tell that a settings file was read.
Events keep the run they happened in. The payload always carried it and the
persist path dropped it, so reading one run's failures meant filtering the
engine-wide list; a batch run's id reaches those events now too, since a run
has no journaled item to name itself by.
Also: a provisioner's 0 means "no deadline" rather than "cancel on the next
reconcile", and a command that reaches no engine says how to start one.

Slurm is not a machine that attaches and stays; it is a queue somebody else
owns. So nothing here submits a node to it. It submits a job whose payload is an
ordinary worker dialling back in, and everything downstream — the protocol, the
artifacts, cancellation, the books — already worked and did not have to learn
what Slurm is.
The alternative, which Covalent takes, is to stage a serialized call and a
runner onto the login node, poll squeue and copy the result back: a second way
of running a node beside the one that exists. The cost of not doing that is one
assumption, that a compute node can open a connection outward. Where that is
false, _payload is the single method a staged variant would replace.
Clusters are configured in provisioners.json beside the alerts, since this is
infrastructure an operator writes rather than anything a flow says. The script
is generated with the system ssh and no new dependency, and prerun owns the
environment — deliberately no pip install, because what is on a cluster is
somebody's decision.
One outstanding request per profile, cancelled if it never attaches and on the
way out. Nothing autoscales.
The run gate needed the same hook: a run held before it starts never reaches the
placer's own wait, so it would have queued forever on a machine nothing had
asked for.

A worker reported its labels and nothing about the machine behind them, so the
engine could route a node to a GPU box but not tell whether that box had a GPU
free. Inventory — cores, GPUs, memory — now arrives with the hello frame, and
the run frame carries back what the engine allocated for that call.
Which is protocol 2 on both ends. GPUs are never probed: asking a vendor tool
would make the one dependency two, so a GPU is what the batch job says it was
given or what --gpus says. A worker that reports nothing still attaches and is
scheduled by its label alone.
Two things a job scheduler needs: --max-idle stops a worker started for one job
rather than letting it hold its allocation to the walltime, and a refusal is now
fatal instead of a reconnect loop that reads as a hang in a job's log.

A port may now declare `image`, `audio` or `video`. Each is the artifact
reference the engine already had, narrowed by the `media_type` on it, so a
speech recogniser declares what it eats rather than taking any bytes at all and
finding out. Bytes still never travel as a message and nothing on the wire
stops being JSON: a camera publishes one reference per frame, a microphone one
per chunk, and a reference may carry a `meta` dict nothing here interprets.
Streaming media is therefore an ordinary streaming port — with one change to
what that means. An emission used to journal an item with no payload, so
downstream read whatever was current when the item was claimed; a consumer
slower than its producer saw only the newest chunk and the ones between were
lost. That is right for a training curve and wrong for a second of speech, so
an emission now journals a `kind="emission"` item carrying its values, and the
executor hands them to the nodes reading that message instead of writing them
to state again. The value in state stays the latest, which is what everything
else reads, and the wave is filtered by what actually changed rather than
walking everything reachable. No queue serialization change — the existing
`outputs` field carries it.
Continuous media makes the store's missing GC a real problem, so this closes
it: `sweep_artifacts` runs hourly, keeps every digest a `run_artifact` row
records or a live message holds, spares anything written in the last hour, and
stands aside entirely while a run is in flight, since a node may store a
checkpoint long before it returns the reference to it. That also collects the
orphans a deleted flow has always left behind. `ARTIFACT_GC_INTERVAL_S=0` turns
it off.
Around the edges: `GET /artifacts/{digest}` serves the media type the caller
passes and answers ranged requests, so a browser plays a clip rather than
downloading it; `PUT` spools to disk instead of holding the whole body in
memory, as does `save_artifact` given a path; a Media widget draws whatever its
message points at, and a wall panel may fetch the bytes its own tiles are
showing and nothing else; and a connector gets `save_artifact`, for a device
whose readings are bytes.
What this cannot do is live video: a frame every second or two is a glance, and
the honest answer above that is the camera's own stream, which the widget takes
as a URL and the browser plays from source.

A driver script died of one slow answer: httpx.ReadTimeout out of
RunHandle.refresh() with a 30 s read timeout and no retry anywhere, which
cost a sweep 78 of its 84 runs.
- Split the timeout (5 s connect, 120 s read): a wrong URL fails at once,
and a busy engine gets longer than the slowest thing it does on purpose
(a 60 s compile, a 15 s rebuild wait).
- Retry idempotent calls three times on a transport error or 502/503/504.
503 is the engine's own "ask again" — it is what RebuildBusy answers.
- Submit carries a key the engine stores with the run, so a retry after a
timeout returns that run instead of starting a second. A sweep keys every
entry, so a half-created one recreates only what is missing.
- wait() and --follow tolerate five failed polls in a row; a 404 still stops
at once, because that is an answer rather than a gap.
- CLI says "engine not answering" and names the run still on the engine,
instead of printing a traceback.
- runs: clamp the params column to 80 characters; events() takes the
flow/since/until the endpoint already had; RunHandle.failures answers
"what killed this run" from the run's own node rows.

`POST /runs/flows/{name}` hardcoded `cause: "api"`, so every row in the
history claimed the same origin. The body now carries an optional `cause`,
closed to the values the column knows — the dashboard sends nothing and stays
"api", `fluksio run` says "cli", and the SDK client says "sdk".

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.

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.
