The workflow this serves: make a venv, install what you work with, then `pip
install fluksio` into the same one. Building a second environment beside it
was exactly wrong — the packages the nodes need are already here, and the
Modules screen was asking for them a second time.
`NODE_VENV=auto` (the default) adopts that venv. It declines in the three
cases where adopting would be wrong: `managed` says otherwise, a managed venv
already exists and may hold packages somebody installed on purpose, or the
engine is not running from a venv at all. The images set `managed`, since the
venv in them holds the app and nothing of anybody else's.
An adopted venv is never written to. `uv pip sync` makes a venv hold exactly
the manifest, so pointed at somebody's own environment it uninstalls their
work and the engine with it — `sync()` refuses outright and `reconcile()`
returns before it can be called at startup, which is where that would have
happened first. The Modules screen lists what is installed and drops its
editor; `pip` is how that environment changes.
`fluksio serve` now names the interpreter node code runs on, which is the
thing a data scientist most needs to know at that moment. `fluksio-worker`
already defaulted `--python` to its own interpreter, so a GPU box works the
same way — that was only ever undocumented.

A data scientist keeps their code where it is and decorates it: `@node`
declares a function's ports beside the function, `Flow(name, nodes=[...])`
says which of them make a flow, and `use(fn, wire=..., **settings)` rebinds
one for a single flow. `fluksio sync` uploads the document plus a generated
import shim per node, so the store still holds a complete, runnable,
git-versioned definition while the code it imports stays theirs.
`fluksio login|run|runs` and `flow.submit().wait()` are the client half, over
the run endpoints that already existed. Runs record the user repository's
commit beside the store's, so "what code produced this number" is answerable
on the side that now holds the code.
- `fluksio/sdk/`: ports, decorators, the flow builder and its checks, the shim
generator, an HTTP client and sync. Standard library only at import, so
`from fluksio import node` in a training script pulls in no engine.
- `FlowDef.origin` marks a flow code-defined; `Run.origin_commit` carries the
repository's commit; `POST /modules/refresh` retires the workers without an
install, which every sync calls — a worker holds the imported package in
memory, so an edit to it is invisible until the process goes.
- The canvas shows a generated body read-only and names the repository to edit
instead; a body edited there stops the next sync rather than being discarded.
- The worker's reporter carries inert `Port`, `node`, `use` and `Flow`, since
the shim imports a module whose first line declares them.
- `examples/myresearch` is the worked example, `make sync-example` uploads it.

A wheel whose top-level module is `app` collides with anything else in a
user's venv, so the package that is about to be published takes the name
it is published under. Only the Python package moves; the repo, the
Docker WORKDIR and the compose project keep theirs.
