The worker script is handed to the interpreter by path, so app/flow was
sys.path[0] for every node: `import queue` got the engine's. It now drops
its own directory before anything else imports, and runs with the
deployment's credentials scrubbed out of its environment.
Also: reload builds off the event loop, the pool wakes what is blocked on
it when it stops, a refused metrics flush is kept for the next one rather
than dropped, and the cascade events are paired through failures.
User code no longer execs in the engine. A pool of persistent worker
subprocesses speaks one JSON object per line; the controller installs a
proxy as the node's function, so every execution path funnels through it
and the pipeline is untouched. A crash costs one subprocess, a per-node
timeout is a kill, and cancelling from the canvas is that same kill.
The workers run a venv of the user's own on the data volume, filled from
a pip manifest versioned beside the flows. Applying it retires the
workers and rebuilds, so a package lands without restarting the engine.
