PALETTE REDESIGN (2026-05-21)
Sidebar swatches switched from S88 level (all blue) to domain-hue per node.
Family hue = function (rotating=orange, valves=teal, biology=green/olive,
sampling=violet, sensor=amber, aeration=sky-blue, infrastructure=slate);
within a family, darker = higher S88 / "more controller-ish."
Editor-group rectangles in flow.json still follow S88 — only the
registerType colour changed.
Submodule bumps for palette: rotatingMachine, machineGroupControl,
pumpingStation, valve, valveGroupControl, reactor, settler, monster,
measurement, diffuser, dashboardAPI.
Docs touched:
- CLAUDE.md: palette swatch vs. editor-group bullets split out.
- .claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md: new §10.0 introduces the two
color systems, full 12-row palette table, and explicit warning not to
mix the two hexes.
- .claude/refactor/MODULE_SPLIT.md: per-node headers annotated with
both `group #XXX` and `palette #XXX`.
- .claude/refactor/WIKI_HOME_TEMPLATE.md + WIKI_TEMPLATE.md: clarify
Mermaid classDefs visualize hierarchy, not palette swatches.
- .claude/refactor/OPEN_QUESTIONS.md: dated decision entry with
rationale, file list, and follow-ups.
CORESYNC SUBMODULE (new)
nodes/coresync added pointing at https://gitea.wbd-rd.nl/RnD/coresync.
FROST/SensorThings handoff path — first version forwards FROST-ready HTTP
request messages on the dbase output; a downstream http-request node
performs the POST and feeds responses back on msg.topic = "frost.response".
Lazy stream resolver, latest-wins queue (keep first + latest, drop middle),
knot-emit on slope change, provenance preserved in Observation parameters.
- .gitmodules: add nodes/coresync entry.
- package.json: register coresync as a Node-RED node.
- generalFunctions bump: new frostFormatter + 4 node config schemas
expose the dbase format option.
- measurement bump: "frost" option added to dbaseOutputFormat dropdown
(plus the in-flight data.measurement unit-handling work).
- machineGroupControl bump: small editor compact-fields tweak alongside
the palette change.
- CORESYNC_FROST_INTERVIEW_HANDOFF.md added at root with interview state
(Q20 open: slope angle vs. relative delta comparison).
DASHBOARDAPI MODULE_NOT_FOUND FIX
package.json: dashboardapi entry path corrected to
nodes/dashboardAPI/dashboardAPI.js. Commit e04c4a1 renamed the files to
camelCase but missed package.json; on case-sensitive filesystems
(Linux/Docker, where the tarball lands) the require resolved to nothing
and the node showed MODULE_NOT_FOUND in the Node-RED palette.
MISC CLEANUP
- examples/README.md + examples/pumpingstation-complete-example/ removal
(build_flow.py, flow.json, README.md superseded by per-node examples).
- jest.config.js: in-progress tweak.

Superproject:
- CLAUDE.md: legacy-drift table loses the dashboardAPI row (migrated);
drift section notes the type-id-preservation strategy for the
remaining mgc / vgc renames.
- CONTRACTS.md: canonical-unit rule explicitly carves out reactor as
an approved ASM-textbook exception with the conversion boundary.
Submodules:
- nodes/valve @ 167b102: CONTRACT documents valve's lack of an FSM
maintenance state (schema mode enum accepts `maintenance` but no
enter/exit sequences exist). Limits made explicit instead of being
hidden as a wiki TODO.
- nodes/reactor @ 75d0413: CONTRACT now declares the approved ASM-unit
divergence (mg/L, m³/d, °C, 1/h) with the conversion boundary spelled
out. Closes the canonical-unit drift surfaced by the wiki audit.
- nodes/dashboardAPI @ ......: file rename (preserves type id).

- Delete .mcp.json + .claude/rules/repo-mem.md; drop .repo-mem from .gitignore
- Remove repo-mem / substrate_score / repo_search references from all .md
- Move 15 EVOLV skills from .agents/skills/ to .claude/skills/ so they are
auto-discovered by the Claude Code harness and invokable via the Skill tool
- Retire .agents/skills/evolv-orchestrator (duplicate of the subagent at
.claude/agents/evolv-orchestrator.md); orchestrator lives as a subagent only
- Drop OpenAI-format agent yaml metadata from each skill (not needed for CC)
- Update CLAUDE.md, CONTRACTS.md, AGENTS.md to point at the new locations and
disambiguate skills (.claude/skills/) vs subagents (.claude/agents/)
- Fix CLAUDE.md tick-loop wording (opt-in per-node, not a fixed 1000ms)
- Widen .claude/rules/ paths frontmatter so node-architecture and telemetry
rules trigger on more relevant files; add frontmatter to flow-layout rule
- Bump CONTRACTS.md review date to 2026-05-19; add step 7 to the contract-
change workflow (review example flows when topic usage changes)
- Bump nodes/generalFunctions pin (Home.md substrate_score reference removed)

Establish CONTRACTS.md at the EVOLV root as the canonical map of where every
contract, rule, and standard lives. Surface it from CLAUDE.md so every fresh
agent or colleague lands there first.
Reshape .claude/refactor/ to reflect that the platform refactor is done:
live standards stay at the top level; the plan artifacts (CONTINUE_HERE.md,
TASKS.md) move into Archive/ with WARNING banners.
Drop content that drifted out of date or duplicated the new standards stack:
- docs/DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md (pre-refactor walkthrough; superseded by
wiki/Architecture, wiki/Getting-Started, .claude/rules/node-architecture,
.claude/refactor/MODULE_SPLIT + per-node CONTRACT.md + src/commands/).
- .agents/decisions/ (15 DECISION files): load-bearing decisions belong in
commit messages and PR descriptions; live open items in OPEN_QUESTIONS.md.
- .agents/improvements/TOP10_*.md: moved to Archive/.
Bump generalFunctions to 49c77f2 — adds CONTRACT.md inside the library:
different shape from per-node CONTRACT.md files (library API, not msg.topic),
with stability tags and pointers to .claude/refactor/CONTRACTS.md §N.

MGC submodule lands the 2026-05-14 governance review fixes plus rolled-up
session work: _output-manifest.md per the new output-coverage rule,
computeEqualFlowDistribution extracted as a pure function (testable without
MGC), groupEfficiency degenerate-case fix, unit-self-describing set.demand,
eta = (Q*dP)/P formula correction, and dashboard fan-out hardening
(auto-init, NCog normalization, Q-H trim, null-trap closure). Suite 108/108.
Superproject adds:
- .claude/rules/output-coverage.md: every-output-every-state testing rule
prompted by the eta-null crash earlier in the session.
- CLAUDE.md: pointer to the new rule under Conventions.

- package.json: remove @tensorflow/tfjs and @tensorflow/tfjs-node.
Monster's TF code was already stripped; the deps were stale and kept
pulling a heavy native binary back into every install.
- .gitignore: ignore .repo-mem/ regenerable indexes and per-session
.claude/*.lock runtime files.
- CLAUDE.md: prepend READ-FIRST pointer to .claude/rules/repo-mem.md;
collapse the 'three outputs' bullet to a pointer at node-architecture.
- .claude/rules/telemetry.md: drop Port 0/1/2 duplication; reference
node-architecture.md.
- .claude/rules/testing.md: stop requiring a separate test/edge tier and
the basic/integration/edge example flow trio. Reflects what nodes
actually do.
- .claude/rules/repo-mem.md (new): when-to-call-which guide for the
per-repo memory MCP, anti-patterns, refresh model.
- .mcp.json (new): wire repo-mem stdio server.
- docs/DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md (new): step-by-step guide for adding a new
EVOLV node under the three-layer pattern.
- Bump nodes/pumpingStation to 6ab585b (docs + simulations refresh,
spill-flow path renames consistent with d8490aa).

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.
