What It Is

Nodes are the main domain objects shown on the board.

Main Areas

  • components.md: card UI for each node type
  • registry.md: labels and node-kind metadata
  • creation.md: default node creation and previews

Why It Matters

Nodes are the core building blocks of the product. If node structure is clear, the rest of the system becomes easier to understand.

User Flow

  1. A user creates or converts a node
  2. The node gets default structure based on its type
  3. The canvas shows the right card
  4. Inspector and compute use the same node data

Risks And Gaps

  • Some node-specific docs will need more depth as new node types arrive
  • The renderers and type folders are still thin and may grow later
