Edges

Status: active Last updated: 2026-04-15

What It Is

Edges define relationships between nodes and how those relationships are shown.

Why It Exists

The graph needs both meaning and direction. Edges carry that meaning in the domain model and in the canvas.

Main Areas

  • relations.md: domain meaning of edge types
  • routing.md: route helpers and line layout behavior
  • : edge creation defaults

User Value

Edges are not just lines. They tell the app how nodes relate to each other and what compute should pay attention to.

Risks And Gaps

  • The edge feature is compact, but some validation rules are still light
  • Relation policies will likely grow when collaboration and remote sync become stronger
