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.

# EVOLV - Claude Code Project Guide
|
|
|
|
> **READ FIRST, BEFORE ANY OTHER WORK:**
|
|
> [`CONTRACTS.md`](./CONTRACTS.md) — front-door map: where every contract, rule, and standard lives, and how to find them.
|
|
|
|
## What This Is
|
|
Node-RED custom nodes package for wastewater treatment plant automation. Developed by Waterschap Brabantse Delta R&D team. Follows ISA-88 (S88) batch control standard.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
Each node follows a three-layer pattern:
|
|
1. **Node-RED wrapper** (`<nodeName>.js`) - registers the node type, sets up HTTP endpoints
|
|
2. **Node adapter** (`src/nodeClass.js`) - bridges Node-RED API with domain logic, handles config loading, tick loops, events
|
|
3. **Domain logic** (`src/specificClass.js`) - pure business logic, no Node-RED dependencies
|
|
|
|
## Folder & File Layout (READ BEFORE CREATING NEW FILES)
|
|
Every per-node file MUST use the folder name **exactly** (case-sensitive). No
|
|
abbreviations. Quick reference:
|
|
|
|
| Path | Required name |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Entry file | `nodes/<nodeName>/<nodeName>.js` |
|
|
| Editor HTML | `nodes/<nodeName>/<nodeName>.html` |
|
|
| Node adapter | `nodes/<nodeName>/src/nodeClass.js` |
|
|
| Domain logic | `nodes/<nodeName>/src/specificClass.js` |
|
|
| Editor JS modules | `nodes/<nodeName>/src/editor/*.js` (extract when inline editor JS exceeds ~50 lines) |
|
|
| Tests | `nodes/<nodeName>/test/{basic,integration,edge}/*.test.js` |
|
|
| Example flows | `nodes/<nodeName>/examples/*.flow.json` |
|
|
|
|
Full rule + serving recipe for `src/editor/`: `.claude/rules/node-architecture.md`.
|
|
|
|
**Legacy drift to rename when the file is next touched** (do not introduce new
|
|
mismatches in the meantime). When renaming, **keep the Node-RED type id
|
|
lowercase** (`registerType('mgc', …)` etc.) so deployed flows continue to load —
|
|
only the file paths change. `dashboardAPI` was migrated this way on 2026-05-19.
|
|
|
|
| Node | Currently | Should be |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `machineGroupControl` | `mgc.{js,html}` | `machineGroupControl.{js,html}` |
|
|
| `valveGroupControl` | `vgc.{js,html}` | `valveGroupControl.{js,html}` |
|
|
|
|
## Key Shared Library: `nodes/generalFunctions/`
|
|
- `logger` - structured logging (use this, NOT console.log)
|
|
- `MeasurementContainer` - chainable measurement storage (type/variant/position)
|
|
- `configManager` - loads JSON configs from `src/configs/`
|
|
- `MenuManager` - dynamic UI dropdowns
|
|
- `outputUtils` - formats messages for InfluxDB and process outputs
|
|
- `childRegistrationUtils` - parent-child node relationships
|
|
- `coolprop` - thermodynamic property calculations
|
|
|
|
## Conventions
|
|
- Nodes register under category `'EVOLV'` in Node-RED
|
|
- Two color systems (don't confuse):
|
|
- **Palette swatch** (Node-RED sidebar, set in `<node>.html`) = domain-hue per node — full table in `.claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md` §10.0. Changed 2026-05-21; see `.claude/refactor/OPEN_QUESTIONS.md`.
|
|
- **Editor-group rectangle** (flow.json `style.fill`) = S88 level (unchanged): Area=#0f52a5, ProcessCell=#0c99d9, Unit=#50a8d9, Equipment=#86bbdd, ControlModule=#a9daee
|
|
- Config JSON files in `generalFunctions/src/configs/` define defaults, types, enums per node
|
|
- Tick loop is **opt-in per node** — default cadence 1000 ms, but each node sets `static tickInterval` (or skips it). See `.claude/refactor/OPEN_QUESTIONS.md` (2026-05-10 entry) for the design decision
|
|
- Output ports + 3-tier architecture + file-naming + `src/editor/` layout: see `.claude/rules/node-architecture.md`
|
|
- **Multi-tab demo flows**: see `.claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md` for the tab/link-channel/spacing rule set used by `examples/`
|
|
- **Output coverage** (every output, every state, every layer): see `.claude/rules/output-coverage.md` — manifest + populated/degraded tests are mandatory for any change that touches Port 0/1/2 keys, function-node fan-outs, telemetry fields, or dashboard widget sources
|
|
|
|
## Agents and Skills (use them — don't reinvent)
|
|
- **Skills** at `.claude/skills/evolv-*/SKILL.md` (15 domain skills) — auto-discovered, invoke via the `Skill` tool. Load them when you need domain reasoning (rotating equipment, biology, telemetry, security, instrumentation, hydraulics, alarms, OT integration, regulatory, quality, commissioning, frontend, …).
|
|
- **Subagents** at `.claude/agents/*.md` (10 Claude Code subagents) — spawnable via `Agent(subagent_type: '<name>')`. Use for independent work: `evolv-orchestrator` (multi-domain decomposition + `team` workflows), `mechanical-process-engineer`, `biological-process-engineer`, `instrumentation-measurement`, `node-red-runtime`, `telemetry-database`, `quality-test-engineer`, `commissioning-compliance`, `ot-security-integration`, `general-functions-library`.
|
|
- **Routing table**: [`.agents/AGENTS.md`](./.agents/AGENTS.md) maps task patterns → which skill/subagent to invoke.
|
|
- **`team` keyword**: when the user says "team", spawn `evolv-orchestrator` (subagent) — it picks specialists, runs an alignment pass, returns one integrated answer.
|
|
|
|
## Tooling (Docker-first, local now, central later)
|
|
Custom EVOLV tooling lives in `tools/` and is intended to run inside the local Docker compose stack (`tools/docker-compose.yml`). **Always prefer these tools over ad-hoc grep/curl/manual checks** — they encode the rules in `.claude/rules/` and catch regressions the human review would miss:
|
|
- `tools/flow-lint/` — validates `examples/*.flow.json` against `.claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md`. Run before committing any flow change.
|
|
- `tools/output-manifest-verify/` — diffs declared Port 0/1/2 keys vs. runtime emissions. Run on any output-shape change.
|
|
- `tools/contract-verify/` — diffs `nodes/<n>/CONTRACT.md` vs. `src/commands/index.js`. Run after touching a command registry.
|
|
- `tools/wiki-gen/` — regenerates topic-contract + data-model sections of `nodes/<n>/wiki/`. Run after a CONTRACT change.
|
|
- `tools/physics-sanity/` — cross-node mass/hydraulic/energy balance assertions. Run as part of `node --test` for cross-node changes.
|
|
- **MCP services** (Node-RED admin, InfluxDB, headless browser) live under `tools/mcp/` as Docker services. **Migration note**: these will move to a central MCP server later; the local stack is interim. The Dockerfile + compose entry stays in this repo as the canonical definition.
|
|
- **Why use them**: every tool encodes a rule that we've previously discovered through a bug (η-null crash, ui-chart blank renders, output-key drift). Skipping them re-opens those bugs.
|
|
|
|
## Sources of truth (the canonical files)
|
|
- **Front-door map**: [`CONTRACTS.md`](./CONTRACTS.md) — read first; lists every standard and where it lives
|
|
- **Platform API shapes** (BaseDomain, BaseNodeAdapter, commands registry, UnitPolicy, …): `.claude/refactor/CONTRACTS.md`
|
|
- **Code conventions** (file/function size, comments, naming): `.claude/refactor/CONVENTIONS.md`
|
|
- **Per-node module layout**: `.claude/refactor/MODULE_SPLIT.md`
|
|
- **Per-node API contract**: `nodes/<n>/CONTRACT.md` + `nodes/<n>/src/commands/index.js` (source of truth for accepted `msg.topic` values)
|
|
- **Shared library API**: `nodes/generalFunctions/CONTRACT.md` (exported classes + utilities)
|
|
- **Live decisions log**: `.claude/refactor/OPEN_QUESTIONS.md` — append, don't invent
|
|
