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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

This file captures tasks which derive from roadmap tasks (unfinished, deferred), bugs encountered during usage and feature requests/improvements which are not fitting directly in the roadmap. Always sort by priority and put tasks blocked by other tasks/features at the dedicated section. When working on a task, check for other, similar tasks that could be resolved on the way. Use following pattern to classify tasks: TYPE/SCOPE Where TYPE could be BUG, FEAT, PERF, CHORE and SCOPE could be UX, UI, FLOW, NODE, API, INFRA, DOCS appended by MOBILE if only for mobile use case. Don't write temporary reasons for deferring a task in the task description (only strategical reasons should be noted). Deferring because out of scope is fine, but don't mention deferring than.
Open
- BUG/UI: enlarge the icon in the sidebar slightly
- BUG/UI: clicking outside the panel does not discard the flow edit panel
- BUG/UI: the graph showed in the node edit panel should also be shown for a specific edge inside the pop-up panel when clicking the edge
- FEAT/FLOW: single-stepping a paused flow. Pause and resume are in; a step button needs the scheduler to keep its per-run progress between calls, which the one-shot executor does not — without that it re-runs the first ready node instead of advancing. Needs a persistent per-flow work queue that a step pops from and resume drains.
- FEAT/UI: interrupting a node that is already running. Pause holds nodes that have not been submitted yet; one already executing runs to completion.
- BUG/UI: the enlarged panel (for code editing) should still maintain its floating style
- BUG/UI:
SidePanel's mobile branch does not setdata-testidon theSheetContent, so[data-testid=node-panel]does not exist on a phone. Mobile specs cannot address the panel. - CHORE/API: node source saves carry no version precondition, so two clients editing the same node's code are last-writer-wins. The flow document is what the optimistic lock protects; code files would need their own, and an exact-match one produces false conflicts against a single client's own interleaved flow and source saves.
- FEAT/UI: publishing and discarding are only reachable while no side panel is open, since the floating chrome hides for the panel. Editing a node's code and publishing it is therefore close-panel-then-publish.
- FEAT/UI: there is no screen for managing the secrets store itself. A node parameter marked
x-secretoffers the stored secrets, but they can only be created through the API. - FEAT/FLOW: input discretization drops the trailing edge — if a producer goes quiet inside the window, the consumer never sees the last value. Delivering it at the end of the window needs a timer per (node, port).
- CHORE/FLOW: shared node sources bypass the draft/publish split. Editing one writes the library copy and reloads immediately, since the code is not any single flow's to hold back. Deliberate, but it means a shared node is the one thing publish does not gate.
- FEAT/UI: flow-level edits (title, inputs) go through
FlowPanel.onChangeand stay outside the undo stack. - CHORE/UI:
make test-backendcannot reach Postgres while the integrated stack is up —compose.local.ymldoesdb: ports: !reset []. Run it against the container's address, or move the suite inside the compose network. - BUG/FLOW: deleting a flow leaves its state in Redis — the value, timestamp, version and
history keys under
pipeline:{flow}.*all survive. Clear the namespace on delete. - CHORE/UI: the Playwright specs run against the development stack and leave their users and
flows behind, which is why the flowbar filled with
test_flow_*. Give them their own data or clean up after themselves, aspytestnow does. - CHORE/UI: the standalone Vite origin (
make dev-frontendon :5173) is still not inBACKEND_CORS_ORIGINS.scripts/setup.shregenerates the list on everymake initandcompose.local.ymlre-declares it as a container variable that wins, so the origin has to be added in both places to work. - CHORE/INFRA:
test-backend.ymlruns pytest on the runner host, so it keeps the fixed container name and port 5432 thatcompose.ci.ymlresets everywhere else. Two concurrent runs of that one job collide. - PERF/UI: (deferred for now) the Monaco chunk is 2.6 MB. It only loads when a node panel opens, but the editor could be trimmed further or swapped for CodeMirror if that becomes a problem.
- CHORE/FLOW:
app/flow/nodes.pyis excluded from strict mypy ([[tool.mypy.overrides]]inpyproject.toml). The node classes still carry prototype typing,croniterships no stubs andinfluxdb_clientdoes not re-export its names. Shrink it as each integration is revisited. - PERF/FLOW: every save rebuilds the whole pipeline. Fine at the current flow count; rebuild only the touched flow when it starts to show.
- FEAT/UI: reintroduce
--chart-*tokens as one designed sequential scale when the first chart lands. The node sparkline draws one series in--primaryand needs none. - PERF/UI: the app's entry chunk is 680 kB (210 kB gzipped) and exceeds the warning threshold. React Flow and Monaco are already lazy; a manualChunks split measured no better, so this needs route-level work on the shell rather than chunking config.
Blocked
- FEAT/UI: a "Bug" icon on the node error bubble opening the logs panel at that node's
traceback. The panel now has the traceback; wiring the bubble to open and filter it needs
the panel's open state lifted into
FlowEditor. - FEAT/INFRA: MQTT broker and InfluxDB compose services for local development. The node types exist; a local broker would make them testable without external hardware.
- CHORE/INFRA:
bun installinside the frontend Docker build intermittently fails with "Fail extracting tarball" for several packages at once, and succeeds on a plain rebuild. It looks like concurrent extraction under memory pressure. Pin down or retry in the Dockerfile if it starts costing CI time.
