feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.
Bumps:
nodes/generalFunctions 43f6906 -> 29b78a3
Fix: childRegistrationUtils now aliases the production
softwareType values (rotatingmachine, machinegroupcontrol) to the
dispatch keys parent nodes check for (machine, machinegroup). Without
this, MGC <-> rotatingMachine and pumpingStation <-> MGC wiring
silently never matched in production even though tests passed.
Demo confirms: MGC reports '3 machine(s) connected'.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: pumps reach
operational ~5s after deploy, MGC distributes random demand across them,
basin tracks net flow direction, all dashboard widgets update each second.

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section
New rule set: .claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md
- Tab boundaries by concern
- Link-channel naming convention (cmd:/evt:/setup: prefixes)
- Spacing constants
- Trend-split chart pattern
- Inject node payload typing pitfall (per-prop v/vt)
- Dashboard widget rules (every ui-* needs x/y!)
- Do/don't checklist
- Link-out/link-in JSON cheat sheet
- 5-step layout verification before declaring a flow done
CLAUDE.md updated to point at the new rule set.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: 168 nodes across
4 tabs, all wired via 22 link-out / 19 link-in pairs, no nodes at
(0, 0), pumps reach operational ~5 s after deploy, MGC distributes

Layout philosophy
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Every node gets a home tab based on its CONCERN , not the data it touches :
Tab 1 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes ( pumps , MGC , PS , measurements )
+ small per - node output formatters . NO UI , NO
demo drivers , NO setup logic . This is the
deployable plant model in isolation .
Tab 2 Dashboard UI only ui - * widgets . NO routing logic beyond
topic - tagging for the chart legends .
Tab 3 Demo Drivers auto random demand generator + station - wide
command fan - outs . Only here so the demo " lives "
without an operator . Removable in production .
Tab 4 Setup & Init one - shot deploy - time injects ( mode , scaling ,
auto - startup ) . Easy to disable for production .

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section
New rule set: .claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md
- Tab boundaries by concern
- Link-channel naming convention (cmd:/evt:/setup: prefixes)
- Spacing constants
- Trend-split chart pattern
- Inject node payload typing pitfall (per-prop v/vt)
- Dashboard widget rules (every ui-* needs x/y!)
- Do/don't checklist
- Link-out/link-in JSON cheat sheet
- 5-step layout verification before declaring a flow done
CLAUDE.md updated to point at the new rule set.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: 168 nodes across
4 tabs, all wired via 22 link-out / 19 link-in pairs, no nodes at
(0, 0), pumps reach operational ~5 s after deploy, MGC distributes
random demand, trends populate per pump.

feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section

- Tab boundaries by concern
- Link-channel naming convention (cmd:/evt:/setup: prefixes)
- Spacing constants
- Trend-split chart pattern
- Inject node payload typing pitfall (per-prop v/vt)
- Dashboard widget rules (every ui-* needs x/y!)

First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard

- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)

defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/

feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section
New rule set: .claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md
- Tab boundaries by concern
- Link-channel naming convention (cmd:/evt:/setup: prefixes)
- Spacing constants
- Trend-split chart pattern
- Inject node payload typing pitfall (per-prop v/vt)
- Dashboard widget rules (every ui-* needs x/y!)
- Do/don't checklist
- Link-out/link-in JSON cheat sheet
- 5-step layout verification before declaring a flow done
CLAUDE.md updated to point at the new rule set.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: 168 nodes across
4 tabs, all wired via 22 link-out / 19 link-in pairs, no nodes at
(0, 0), pumps reach operational ~5 s after deploy, MGC distributes

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section

- Tab boundaries by concern
- Link-channel naming convention (cmd:/evt:/setup: prefixes)
- Spacing constants
- Trend-split chart pattern
- Inject node payload typing pitfall (per-prop v/vt)
- Dashboard widget rules (every ui-* needs x/y!)
- Do/don't checklist

- 5-step layout verification before declaring a flow done

function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section

feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.

softwareType values (rotatingmachine, machinegroupcontrol) to the

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.

function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,

New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section

- Spacing constants

feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.
Bumps:
nodes/generalFunctions 43f6906 -> 29b78a3
Fix: childRegistrationUtils now aliases the production
softwareType values (rotatingmachine, machinegroupcontrol) to the
dispatch keys parent nodes check for (machine, machinegroup). Without
this, MGC <-> rotatingMachine and pumpingStation <-> MGC wiring
silently never matched in production even though tests passed.
Demo confirms: MGC reports '3 machine(s) connected'.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: pumps reach
operational ~5s after deploy, MGC distributes random demand across them,
basin tracks net flow direction, all dashboard widgets update each second.

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section

- Tab boundaries by concern
- Link-channel naming convention (cmd:/evt:/setup: prefixes)
- Spacing constants
- Trend-split chart pattern
- Inject node payload typing pitfall (per-prop v/vt)
- Dashboard widget rules (every ui-* needs x/y!)

Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section

feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.
Bumps:
nodes/generalFunctions 43f6906 -> 29b78a3
Fix: childRegistrationUtils now aliases the production
softwareType values (rotatingmachine, machinegroupcontrol) to the
dispatch keys parent nodes check for (machine, machinegroup). Without
this, MGC <-> rotatingMachine and pumpingStation <-> MGC wiring
silently never matched in production even though tests passed.
Demo confirms: MGC reports '3 machine(s) connected'.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: pumps reach
operational ~5s after deploy, MGC distributes random demand across them,
basin tracks net flow direction, all dashboard widgets update each second.

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]

2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor

but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.

feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.

softwareType values (rotatingmachine, machinegroupcontrol) to the

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor

feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section

First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard

- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section
New rule set: .claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md
- Tab boundaries by concern
- Link-channel naming convention (cmd:/evt:/setup: prefixes)
- Spacing constants
- Trend-split chart pattern
- Inject node payload typing pitfall (per-prop v/vt)
- Dashboard widget rules (every ui-* needs x/y!)
- Do/don't checklist
- Link-out/link-in JSON cheat sheet
- 5-step layout verification before declaring a flow done
CLAUDE.md updated to point at the new rule set.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: 168 nodes across
4 tabs, all wired via 22 link-out / 19 link-in pairs, no nodes at
(0, 0), pumps reach operational ~5 s after deploy, MGC distributes
random demand, trends populate per pump.

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section
New rule set: .claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md
- Tab boundaries by concern
- Link-channel naming convention (cmd:/evt:/setup: prefixes)
- Spacing constants
- Trend-split chart pattern
- Inject node payload typing pitfall (per-prop v/vt)
- Dashboard widget rules (every ui-* needs x/y!)
- Do/don't checklist
- Link-out/link-in JSON cheat sheet
- 5-step layout verification before declaring a flow done
CLAUDE.md updated to point at the new rule set.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: 168 nodes across
4 tabs, all wired via 22 link-out / 19 link-in pairs, no nodes at
(0, 0), pumps reach operational ~5 s after deploy, MGC distributes
random demand, trends populate per pump.

- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks

feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.
Bumps:
nodes/generalFunctions 43f6906 -> 29b78a3
Fix: childRegistrationUtils now aliases the production
softwareType values (rotatingmachine, machinegroupcontrol) to the
dispatch keys parent nodes check for (machine, machinegroup). Without
this, MGC <-> rotatingMachine and pumpingStation <-> MGC wiring
silently never matched in production even though tests passed.
Demo confirms: MGC reports '3 machine(s) connected'.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: pumps reach
operational ~5s after deploy, MGC distributes random demand across them,
basin tracks net flow direction, all dashboard widgets update each second.

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section

feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.
Bumps:
nodes/generalFunctions 43f6906 -> 29b78a3
Fix: childRegistrationUtils now aliases the production
softwareType values (rotatingmachine, machinegroupcontrol) to the
dispatch keys parent nodes check for (machine, machinegroup). Without
this, MGC <-> rotatingMachine and pumpingStation <-> MGC wiring
silently never matched in production even though tests passed.
Demo confirms: MGC reports '3 machine(s) connected'.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: pumps reach
operational ~5s after deploy, MGC distributes random demand across them,
basin tracks net flow direction, all dashboard widgets update each second.

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section

feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.
Bumps:
nodes/generalFunctions 43f6906 -> 29b78a3
Fix: childRegistrationUtils now aliases the production
softwareType values (rotatingmachine, machinegroupcontrol) to the
dispatch keys parent nodes check for (machine, machinegroup). Without
this, MGC <-> rotatingMachine and pumpingStation <-> MGC wiring
silently never matched in production even though tests passed.
Demo confirms: MGC reports '3 machine(s) connected'.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: pumps reach
operational ~5s after deploy, MGC distributes random demand across them,
basin tracks net flow direction, all dashboard widgets update each second.

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section
New rule set: .claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md
- Tab boundaries by concern
- Link-channel naming convention (cmd:/evt:/setup: prefixes)
- Spacing constants
- Trend-split chart pattern
- Inject node payload typing pitfall (per-prop v/vt)
- Dashboard widget rules (every ui-* needs x/y!)
- Do/don't checklist
- Link-out/link-in JSON cheat sheet
- 5-step layout verification before declaring a flow done
CLAUDE.md updated to point at the new rule set.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: 168 nodes across
4 tabs, all wired via 22 link-out / 19 link-in pairs, no nodes at
(0, 0), pumps reach operational ~5 s after deploy, MGC distributes
random demand, trends populate per pump.

feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.
Bumps:
nodes/generalFunctions 43f6906 -> 29b78a3
Fix: childRegistrationUtils now aliases the production
softwareType values (rotatingmachine, machinegroupcontrol) to the
dispatch keys parent nodes check for (machine, machinegroup). Without
this, MGC <-> rotatingMachine and pumpingStation <-> MGC wiring
silently never matched in production even though tests passed.
Demo confirms: MGC reports '3 machine(s) connected'.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: pumps reach
operational ~5s after deploy, MGC distributes random demand across them,
basin tracks net flow direction, all dashboard widgets update each second.

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]

New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple

First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section

- Link-channel naming convention (cmd:/evt:/setup: prefixes)
- Spacing constants

- Inject node payload typing pitfall (per-prop v/vt)
- Dashboard widget rules (every ui-* needs x/y!)
- Do/don't checklist

- 5-step layout verification before declaring a flow done
CLAUDE.md updated to point at the new rule set.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: 168 nodes across

- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)

but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section

feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.
Bumps:
nodes/generalFunctions 43f6906 -> 29b78a3
Fix: childRegistrationUtils now aliases the production
softwareType values (rotatingmachine, machinegroupcontrol) to the
dispatch keys parent nodes check for (machine, machinegroup). Without
this, MGC <-> rotatingMachine and pumpingStation <-> MGC wiring
silently never matched in production even though tests passed.
Demo confirms: MGC reports '3 machine(s) connected'.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: pumps reach
operational ~5s after deploy, MGC distributes random demand across them,
basin tracks net flow direction, all dashboard widgets update each second.

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section
New rule set: .claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md
- Tab boundaries by concern
- Link-channel naming convention (cmd:/evt:/setup: prefixes)
- Spacing constants
- Trend-split chart pattern
- Inject node payload typing pitfall (per-prop v/vt)
- Dashboard widget rules (every ui-* needs x/y!)
- Do/don't checklist
- Link-out/link-in JSON cheat sheet
- 5-step layout verification before declaring a flow done
CLAUDE.md updated to point at the new rule set.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: 168 nodes across
4 tabs, all wired via 22 link-out / 19 link-in pairs, no nodes at
(0, 0), pumps reach operational ~5 s after deploy, MGC distributes
random demand, trends populate per pump.

feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.
Bumps:
nodes/generalFunctions 43f6906 -> 29b78a3
Fix: childRegistrationUtils now aliases the production
softwareType values (rotatingmachine, machinegroupcontrol) to the
dispatch keys parent nodes check for (machine, machinegroup). Without
this, MGC <-> rotatingMachine and pumpingStation <-> MGC wiring
silently never matched in production even though tests passed.
Demo confirms: MGC reports '3 machine(s) connected'.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: pumps reach
operational ~5s after deploy, MGC distributes random demand across them,
basin tracks net flow direction, all dashboard widgets update each second.

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section
New rule set: .claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md
- Tab boundaries by concern
- Link-channel naming convention (cmd:/evt:/setup: prefixes)
- Spacing constants
- Trend-split chart pattern
- Inject node payload typing pitfall (per-prop v/vt)
- Dashboard widget rules (every ui-* needs x/y!)

New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.

feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.

Fix: childRegistrationUtils now aliases the production
softwareType values (rotatingmachine, machinegroupcontrol) to the
dispatch keys parent nodes check for (machine, machinegroup). Without
this, MGC <-> rotatingMachine and pumpingStation <-> MGC wiring
silently never matched in production even though tests passed.
Demo confirms: MGC reports '3 machine(s) connected'.

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section

refactor(examples): split pumpingstation demo across 4 concern-based tabs + add layout rule set
The demo was a single 96-node tab with everything wired directly. Now
4 tabs wired only through named link-out / link-in pairs, and a
permanent rule set for future Claude sessions to follow.
Tabs (by concern, not by data flow):
🏭 Process Plant only EVOLV nodes (3 pumps + MGC + PS + 6 measurements)
+ per-node output formatters
📊 Dashboard UI only ui-* widgets, button/setpoint wrappers, trend
splitters
🎛️ Demo Drivers random demand generator + state holder. Removable
in production
⚙️ Setup & Init one-shot deploy-time injects (mode, scaling,
auto-startup, random-on)
Cross-tab wiring uses a fixed named-channel contract (cmd:demand,
cmd:mode, cmd:setpoint-A, evt:pump-A, etc.) — multiple emitters can
target a single link-in for fan-in, e.g. both the slider and the random
generator feed cmd:demand.
Bug fixes folded in:
1. Trend chart was empty / scrambled. Root cause: the trend-feeder
function had ONE output that wired to BOTH flow and power charts,
so each chart received both flow and power msgs and the legend
garbled. Now: 2 outputs (flow → flow chart, power → power chart),
one msg per output.
2. Every ui-text and ui-chart fell on the (0, 0) corner of the editor
canvas. Root cause: the helper functions accepted x/y parameters
but never assigned them on the returned node dict — Node-RED
defaulted every widget to (0, 0) and they piled on top of each
other. The dashboard render was unaffected (it lays out by group/
order), but the editor was unreadable. Fixed both helpers and added
a verification step ("no node should be at (0, 0)") to the rule set.
Spacing convention (now codified):
- 6 lanes per tab at x = [120, 380, 640, 900, 1160, 1420]
- 80 px standard row pitch, 30-40 px for tight ui-text stacks
- 200 px gap between sections, with a comment header per section
New rule set: .claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md
- Tab boundaries by concern
- Link-channel naming convention (cmd:/evt:/setup: prefixes)
- Spacing constants
- Trend-split chart pattern
- Inject node payload typing pitfall (per-prop v/vt)
- Dashboard widget rules (every ui-* needs x/y!)
- Do/don't checklist
- Link-out/link-in JSON cheat sheet
- 5-step layout verification before declaring a flow done
CLAUDE.md updated to point at the new rule set.
Verified end-to-end on Dockerized Node-RED 2026-04-13: 168 nodes across
4 tabs, all wired via 22 link-out / 19 link-in pairs, no nodes at
(0, 0), pumps reach operational ~5 s after deploy, MGC distributes
random demand, trends populate per pump.

feat(examples): pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard end-to-end demo + bump generalFunctions
New top-level examples/ folder for end-to-end demos that show how multiple
EVOLV nodes work together (complementing the per-node example flows under
nodes/<name>/examples/). Future end-to-end demos will live as siblings.
First demo: pumpingstation-3pumps-dashboard
- 1 pumpingStation (basin model, manual mode for the demo so it observes
rather than auto-shutting pumps; safety guards disabled — see README)
- 1 machineGroupControl (optimalcontrol mode, absolute scaling)
- 3 rotatingMachine pumps (hidrostal-H05K-S03R curve)
- 6 measurement nodes (per pump: upstream + downstream pressure mbar,
simulator mode for continuous activity)
- Process demand input via dashboard slider (0-300 m3/h) AND auto random
generator (3s tick, [40, 240] m3/h) — both feed PS q_in + MGC Qd
- Auto/Manual mode toggle (broadcasts setMode to all 3 pumps)
- Station-wide Start / Stop / Emergency-Stop buttons
- Per-pump setpoint slider, individual buttons, full status text
- Two trend charts (flow per pump, power per pump)
- FlowFuse dashboard at /dashboard/pumping-station-demo
build_flow.py is the source of truth — it generates flow.json
deterministically and is the right place to extend the demo.
Bumps:
nodes/generalFunctions 43f6906 -> 29b78a3
Fix: childRegistrationUtils now aliases the production
softwareType values (rotatingmachine, machinegroupcontrol) to the
dispatch keys parent nodes check for (machine, machinegroup). Without
this, MGC <-> rotatingMachine and pumpingStation <-> MGC wiring
silently never matched in production even though tests passed.
Demo confirms: MGC reports '3 machine(s) connected'.
