+
+## 1. What this node is
+
+**machineGroupControl (MGC)** is an S88 Unit orchestrator that coordinates multiple `rotatingMachine` children sharing a common header. It receives a demand setpoint, evaluates valid pump combinations against the group's totals and curves, picks the best operating point (BEP-Gravitation or NCog), and dispatches per-machine flow setpoints + start/stop commands.

+```
+
+| softwareType | filter / subscribed events | Side-effect |
+|---|---|---|
+| `machine` | onRegister stores in `this.machines[id]`; subscribes to `pressure.measured.downstream`, `pressure.measured.differential`, `flow.predicted.downstream` | `handlePressureChange()` — equalise + recompute totals + recompute group efficiency. |
+| `measurement` | onRegister attaches listener for `.measured.` | Mirror value into MGC's own MeasurementContainer; pressure also triggers `handlePressureChange()`. |

+What lands on Port 0. Composed in `io/output.js → getOutput(this)` and delta-compressed by `outputUtils.formatMsg`.
+
+
+
+| Key | Type | Unit | Sample |

+| `mode` | string | — | `"optimalcontrol"` |
+| `relDistFromPeak` | number | — | `0` |
+| `scaling` | string | — | `"normalized"` |
+
+
+
+**Concrete sample** (excerpt — see live test output for the canonical shape):

+```
+
+| Form field | Config key | Default | Range | Where used |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Control mode | `mode.current` | `optimalControl` | enum (`prioritycontrol`, `prioritypercentagecontrol`, `optimalcontrol`) | dispatch switch in `_runDispatch` |
+| Scaling | `scaling.current` | `normalized` | enum (`absolute`, `normalized`) | demand mapping in `_runDispatch` |
+| Optimisation method | `optimization.method` | `BEP-Gravitation-Directional` | enum (`NCog`, `BEP-Gravitation`, `BEP-Gravitation-Directional`) | `_optimalControl` selector |
+| Output unit (flow) | `general.unit` | `m3/h` | unit string | unit policy `output.flow` |
+| Position vs parent | `functionality.positionVsParent` | `atEquipment` | enum | event suffix for parent subscription |
+
+## 10. State chart
+
+MGC is **event-driven and stateless** with respect to operating modes — there is no FSM. The closest thing to "state" is the dispatch gate. Diagram for that single state vector:
+
+```mermaid
+stateDiagram-v2
+ [*] --> idle_disp: configure()
+ idle_disp --> dispatching: handleInput(Qd)
+ dispatching --> idle_disp: dispatch complete
+ dispatching --> dispatching: handleInput(Qd) — deferred and re-fired on completion
+ dispatching --> turning_off: Qd <= 0
+ turning_off --> idle_disp: all machines acknowledged shutdown
+```
+
+While `dispatching`, additional `handleInput` calls overwrite `_delayedCall` (latest-wins); the gate drains the latest one on completion. `turnOffAllMachines()` clears `_delayedCall` to make turn-off the final intent.
+
+## 11. Examples
+
+| Tier | File | What it shows | Status |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Basic | `examples/basic.flow.json` | Single MGC + 2 pumps, manual setDemand | ⚠️ legacy shape, pre-refactor |
+| Integration | `examples/integration.flow.json` | MGC wired under pumpingStation | ⚠️ legacy shape, pre-refactor |
+| Edge | `examples/edge.flow.json` | Mid-flight demand override + abort | ⚠️ legacy shape, pre-refactor |
+
+Tier 1/2/3 visual-first example flows are still TODO (see `MEMORY.md` "TODO: Example Flows"). Screenshots will land under `wiki/_partial-screenshots/machineGroupControl/` when the new flows ship.
+
+## 12. Debug recipes
+
+| Symptom | First thing to check | Where to look |
+|---|---|---|
+| No combination selected | Demand outside `[dynamicTotals.flow.min, max]` — clamped on entry; `_optimalControl` returns early if combinations empty. | `validPumpCombinations` + warn log. |
+| Group flow stuck at zero | Machines never reach an `ACTIVE_STATE` — check per-pump startup logs. | `isMachineActive`. |
+| Priority-percentage mode warns and exits | Mode requires `scaling='normalized'`. Set both. | `_runDispatch` switch. |
+| Stale flow setpoints on chained calls | Dispatch gate may have collapsed multiple calls — confirm `_delayedCall` was honoured. | `handleInput` finally block. |
+| Header pressure not equalising | Pressure children must register with `asset.type='pressure'` and a matching position. | `operatingPoint.equalize`. |
+| Optimiser picks unexpected combo | Verify `optimization.method` and per-method scoring (NCog vs BEP-Grav). | `optimizer/`. |
+
+> Never ship `enableLog: 'debug'` in a demo — fills the container log within seconds and obscures real errors.
+
+## 13. When you would NOT use this node
+
+- Don't use MGC for a **single pump** — wire `rotatingMachine` directly. MGC's combinatorics + totals add no value below N=2.
+- Don't use MGC for **valves** — use `valveGroupControl`. MGC's optimiser assumes a flow-vs-pressure characteristic curve.
+- Don't use MGC when the pumps live behind **independent headers** — combinations assume a shared discharge / suction pressure.
+
+## 14. Known limitations / current issues
+
+| # | Issue | Tracked in |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | `optimalControl` requires every machine to expose a curve — null-curve members silently exclude themselves from combinations. | `combinatorics/pumpCombinations`. |
+| 2 | Mid-flight setpoint overrides on `accelerating` / `decelerating` rely on `abortActiveMovements` per dispatch — a sequence with no awaitable `abortMovement` will warn but proceed. | `abortActiveMovements`. |
+| 3 | Power-cap parameter exposed but not surfaced as a topic input — only programmatic via `handleInput(source, demand, powerCap)`. | `commands/index.js` — no canonical topic. |
+| 4 | Tier 1/2/3 visual-first example flows not yet written. | P9 follow-up. |
