stroblme	f88dcf81c0	Let a connector write, and publish strings bare ... Two things stopped the engine commanding this house. ConnectorNode hardwired its node function to a no-op, so an input message reaching a connector was discarded and Art-Net's packet builder was unreachable; write() now carries the input ports, which is additive so the contract version holds. And the MQTT publisher JSON-encoded every payload, so "ON" went on the wire quoted and the devices on a shared broker, which speak bare values, ignored it. seed_house_control.py is the rig: a flow that drives the washing machine plug, a dimmer and a colour fixture over MQTT, carries the same two as DMX on an Art-Net node with transmit still off, and a dashboard to drive it by hand.	2026-08-20 21:57:27 +02:00
Melvin StroblandClaude Fable 5	3724b68f23	Add the connector contract, reusable nodes and per-port intervals ... Connectors are the device-facing node class third parties write, so the surface they build against is versioned and documented: ConnectorNode carries a declared contract version, a polling loop that publishes only what changed and reports health around it, and parameters whose credential fields are marked x-secret so the editor offers the secrets store instead of a text box. They are found through the fluksio.node_types entry point group, with the package's own metadata as the manifest. docs/connectors/ has the contract and the authoring guide; connector-skeleton/ is a working one to copy. The controller no longer knows what any node type is: start, stop and report_health are protocol methods on Node, and the built-ins were migrated to them first, so the hooks a connector implements are the ones the engine has been driving all along. Marking a node reusable moves its source to _lib/ and points the node at it by name. Other flows instantiate it with their own ports and settings, one fix reaches all of them, and a shared source still in use cannot be deleted. Ports gained an interval: an output publishes, and an input wakes its node, at most every n seconds. State keeps the latest value, so only the delivery is skipped, and pressing Run is never throttled. Also fixes autosave sending no version on its first save of a session, which made every flow saved more than once conflict with itself.
