v0.1.29

Fixed

• Tail actually delivers to connect_node targets. Tail::emit_message bypassed Node::fill, so the TO=target stamp that connect_node relies on never happened. Every TSL topology wiring Tail downstream via connect_node (REPL tail, Log-as-sink, fan-outs) was silently emitting bytes to nowhere. Now routes through parent::fill() like Consumer does. Production-affecting for anyone using a Tail node.
• Topology editor saves now include schema defaults. Operator drags Partition from the palette, types only base_dir → save would strip the empty trailing positional slots and emit make_node Partition flames:partition /tmp/flames.log instead of the operator's intended ... /tmp/flames.log <partition> <config:segment_size> <config:num_segments> <config:max_lifespan>. Topology_Loader then fell through to the PHP class's hard-coded literal defaults, silently ignoring the operator's substrate-config values. serializeTsl now takes an optional schemas map and fills empty positional slots from each spec entry's default before the trailing-empty trim. Same treatment for verb args.
• Inspector int/float fields accept TSL substitution tokens. coerceValue was falling back to prevRaw whenever parseInt/parseFloat returned NaN — silently swallowed every keystroke of <partition> / <config:foo>. Now only converts when the raw matches a pure-numeric regex; otherwise passes through as a string and lets the TSL loader coerce at load time. Also catches the lossy parseInt('123abc') → 123 case.
• send_node / send REPL verb appends \n. Line-oriented downstream nodes (Log, Tail) need each send_node payload terminated so consecutive sends don't run together on disk. Both the PHP Shell parser and the JS topology-console REPL apply this now; the two paths stay byte-identical on the wire. Mirrors Tachikoma Shell.pm.
• Two stale VIP-lint warnings silenced on intentional code paths. Supervisor::fire_and_forget_post() (raw curl is required because wp_remote_post clamps timeout to max($timeout, 1) second, defeating CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS=10) and SupervisorBase::remove_stale_directory() (substrate operates inside its own reserved base_dir tree).

Added

• Node::dump_node(): array is overridable for per-class redaction. Reflection-based default snapshot logic moved out of CommandInterpreter::cmd_dump_node and onto Node, so subclasses can scrub secrets or synthesize derived fields before the dump hits the REPL. The motivating use case is in the application plugin: RemoteSource overrides this to return [REDACTED] for auth_password / auth_token instead of leaking raw credentials via dump_node my_remote.
• TSL-substitution defaults on substrate schemas. Consumer's source_partition, Topic's num_partitions/segment_size/num_segments/max_lifespan, and Partition's partition/segment_size/num_segments/max_lifespan ship with <partition> / <config:*> defaults. The editor pre-fills the same tokens the production TSL uses; required-flags are preserved alongside.
• bytes_read / bytes_written / lgst_msg actually populated for Tail, Log, Topic. The dump_metadata columns existed and were emitted, but the underlying counters on Node were never incremented for these primitives — Inspector sparklines for them were dead lines. Tail's poll() now bumps bytes_read; Log's fill() bumps bytes_written and tracks largest_msg_sent (its fill bypasses parent::fill); Topic does the same per-Message via Message::value_size.
• Two-way URL sync for topology + partition in the topology console. Selecting from the dropdowns rewrites ?topology=<name>&partition=<n> via history.replaceState; opening the page with those params initialises the selectors. Refresh / copy-link preserves the operator's current view. replaceState not pushState — these are filter toggles, not navigation events.

Changed

• Rate sparkline clamps dt to the nominal tick interval (1s). When two gui:auto responses arrived bunched up (e.g. 100ms apart after a worker stall), dCount / 0.1 produced 10× spikes on the auto-scaling sparkline. Worst case post-clamp is under-reporting on a genuinely fast tick; the prior nonsense peaks were worse for the auto-scale envelope.

Tests

• Coverage push: every class in includes/ is now ≥80% statement coverage (lowest is WorkerCliCommand at 80.0%; total moved from 80.2% → 90.5% across 39 classes). New test files: ConfigUtilsTest, LayoutsControllerTest, TopologiesControllerTest, TopologyStreamControllerTest. Existing files extended: Bootstrap, CliWorkerCommand, Consumer, Core, Shell, SseStreamTrait, Tee, integration/ClassesController.
• --enforce-time-limit is the documented PHPUnit default. Class-level #[Medium] raises the 1s budget to 10s for tests that legitimately sleep through production code.
• New jest coverage for coerceValue, serializeTsl (default expansion), and shellInterpret (send_node LF).
