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 dashboard could only ever receive as a set of tiles. This adds the dashboard
itself as a receiver: `settings` maps a name to a value plus an optional
binding. Unbound, the setting is simply its value — a wall panel that is always
dark costs no flow. Bound, a flow drives it live and the value is the fallback.
Two settings are wired: `theme` (system/light/dark) and `locked` (read-only).
There is no schedule field on purpose — a node publishing to the bound message
on a cron is what a schedule is here, which is the point of a channel.
- `messages_for()` now walks a dashboard's bound settings as well as its
widgets' bindings. Without this a paired screen is refused its own theme
message, on the one surface the setting exists for; it bounds the socket too.
- `locked` is gated in `usePublish`, so every control inherits it, and each
control also draws itself disabled — a dead button reads as broken otherwise.
The panel surface says Read-only in the corner.
- The theme is a class on the dashboard's own surface, never the root: inside
the app shell it must not flip the chrome. `.light` gains the tokens `.dark`
already had (mirrored in the index repo) so both directions work on a subtree.
- Settings bindings are type-checked from the document alone, the rule widget
bindings follow, and mirrored on the server.
- A bound setting is drawn on the flow canvas as a dashboard-level endpoint.
- The demo's house flow now publishes `home.panel_theme`, which the demo
dashboard's theme binds to: the panel goes dark after sunset, at no tile cost.

A custom hue ring — a conic gradient, not a canvas — with saturation and
brightness sliders beside or under it depending on the tile's shape, sized
for a wall panel and reachable from a keyboard. It publishes [h, s, v] by
default, which is what the reference installation's DMX encoders read, and
`format` switches that to [r, g, b] or "#rrggbb".
`usePublish` moves to its own module so a widget in a file of its own can
reach it without importing `widgets.tsx` back.
- Home puts the dashboards beside the flows: two equal-height columns,
capped and scrollable, most recently worked on first. Each tile is a
schematic footprint built from the stored widget placements.
- Flows and dashboards can be picked by long press or ctrl-click; the
create button becomes a trash and one dialog covers the batch.
- The offline banner is drawn on the body so it centres on the viewport,
and the live socket now releases the offline latch a stray 503 set.
- A boot spinner before React's first commit, a router pending screen for
code-split pages, and skeletons where an empty list used to flash.

Three things a paired wall panel needed.
The scope check now walks the panel's widgets instead of allowing the
`/messages/` prefix wholesale: a screen may publish what its own controls and
querying charts point at, read the history of what its tiles draw, and nothing
else — the catalogue of every message in the installation included. The same
walk that already bounds its socket, so both surfaces agree.
Pending pairing codes moved out of the per-process dictionary into Redis, keyed
per code with the code's own TTL and indexed in a zset so the fifty-code cap
means the same thing to every worker. Without a Redis there is one process by
definition, and the dictionary stays.
And a per-panel nonce in the token, bumped by `POST /panels/{id}/unpair`: that
refuses the screen hanging there without touching the panel, its dashboards or
their arrangement. A save cannot write the nonce back, so a stale client cannot
undo a revocation. Only for a credential this installation signed — one the
portal minted carries no nonce and is revoked at the hub.

"What it can import is what the Modules screen installed" was true and
read as a wall: every example is a self-contained file, and a function
that imports half a repository looks unsupported. It is not — the
manifest is handed to `uv pip sync` verbatim, so `-e /home/you/repo`
installs the project you already have and a node becomes a three-line
wrapper over it. The code stays in your own repository, under your own
version control, importing its own siblings.
Two caveats that are easy to lose an afternoon to, so both are written
down: an editable install reaches the venv without a reinstall but not
into a worker that already imported it — the engine's workers are
long-lived, and Apply is what retires them, while an attached worker
starts a process per call and is always fresh. And the path is resolved
on whichever machine runs the node, while the manifest is committed to
the flow repository, so a laptop path means nothing in a container.
Verified rather than assumed: `uv pip sync` takes `-e`, the shim body
loads through the real `load_function`, an edit is live in a fresh
process and stale in a reused one.

The guide asked for a hostname and served the interface on
`app.${DOMAIN}` with the API on `api.${DOMAIN}` — which is not what
someone with a box in a cupboard sets up, and could not be made to work
by typing an address into a browser. `compose.lan.yml` already solves it
for the dev stack; the same file layers onto the production one, so the
guide now opens with that and keeps the hostname as the other option.
The reference gained the setting behind it. `VITE_API_URL` is a build
argument of the frontend image rather than something the stack reads,
which is worth saying once: empty means the interface addresses the API
relative to whatever origin served it, so one image answers on an
address, a hostname and an ssh tunnel alike, and no CORS list has to be
kept in step.
Verified against the production compose layered with `compose.lan.yml`:
the page, `/api` on the same port, a cross-origin-free login, the flow
websocket upgrading through nginx, and `/docs` still refused there.

A zensical site under docs/, served by a new `docs` compose service behind
Traefik, built with --strict in CI. Same pattern the sibling n3xd workspace
uses.
Getting started splits the way the landing page does — one path is
`pip install fluksio` and a training script, the other is a Docker stack and
an afternoon in the browser — because the two audiences will not spend the same
amount of time. Everything after that is shared: the concepts, the web
interface (app and portal), the CLI and the API, and a reference for node types,
payload types and configuration.
The three flow guides move here from the docs submodule rather than being
copied, so there is one version of them.
Styling mirrors DESIGN-GUIDELINES.md: the app's token palette remapped onto
Material's variables in both schemes, Inter, the 16px panel radius, and the one
terracotta accent spent on the facility lane of the audience split.
