History / node cluster output

Explode pins a Kind, cluster sockets carry an Order, and a seam is green Theo's v0.3.52 list, twenty-one pages. Explode gains the Kind pulldown and its ten values, an Outputs section split between Auto and pinned, and a section on why you would pin it: a cluster is edited with its inputs empty, so on Auto there are no sockets to wire. Separate XY is deprecated in favor of Explode with Kind set to Point, and documents are converted as they load. The six per-kind banners read Deprecated rather than retired. Cluster Input and Cluster Output carry Order. Cluster Output also gains In, which was missing from the page entirely, and its Outputs now say the node has none on the canvas. clusters.md replaces "drag one up or down to reorder" with the order being a number, not a position, and adds the paragraph on an untouched socket reading its real value rather than zero. Weld Seams gains Across Groups, a boolean on by default, and its alt text no longer calls the seam dashed. Flatten loses the claim that a tiled pattern needs a Flatten in front of Weld Seams, which Across Groups made untrue; the page now says what Flatten is for in general and does not mention Weld Seams at all. Sort gains key 5 Name and a paragraph for each of the six keys, written against sortKey and compareNames rather than from prose. Data Box describes nesting and names, which of the two kinds of name survives a flatten, and what the summary counts. Wallpaper Groups gains the fourth numbered step, which hands the cluster its cell vectors and had never been one, plus the cell-vector figure, the straight edge on a finite block, and cm and cmm counting in twos. Organizing gains a Buses section between Relays and Tidy Layout, covering both commands and why they are a pair, and Tidy Layout gains a paragraph on routing the lanes deliberately. Credits gains an "Ideas, not code" section with two debts that are not libraries. C.a.R., or Zirkel und Lineal, by René Grothmann at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, maintained since 1996: the live-construction model this program starts from, credited for the conventions and the direction. Orbi, by the Grasshopper Collective at Nuremberg Tech, for the named bus that a run of Relays carries. Upright becomes Deskew on three pages, matching the app's own label. Four diagrams rebuilt. The weld seam is solid seam green, not dashed accent blue, and the two cluster cards show the sockets the nodes actually have. Also removes .fuse_hidden0000002c00000001, a bridge artifact committed by mistake in 89f4ea9 on 2026-08-25.

Docs: Explode rewrite, clipboard commands, two new nodes, Data flyout nav Command pages - New: Copy, Paste, Paste in Place, Duplicate in Place, Copy Style - New: Line: Tangent to Two Circles - Corrected: Duplicate now says independent copies rather than shared points; Tangent explains that every answer is ghosted and the nearest one is kept; Detach no longer contradicts itself - Prose pass items 11 to 18: Move, Arc, Group, Snap to Guides, Snap to Intersections, Point on Object, Detach, Elliptical Arc - Select Parents and Select Children added to selection.md, with rows on menu-select.md Node pages - New: Select Alternating, Weld Seams - Explode rewritten: a section and its own card for every kind it takes apart, plus a note on the six retired per-type nodes - Compare and Select by Condition documented, with cards and diagrams - nodes-data.md rebuilt as five flyout sections matching the interface, each with its icon and a line on why those nodes group together Two corrections against the shipped code - Select by Condition: an item is a top-level member, not a single shape, so a member holding several shapes goes to one side whole (#628). The page had described the behavior it replaced. - Export as DXF: a color with an alpha channel keeps its color and loses only the transparency, which DXF cannot carry. The page had claimed the transparency survives. The palette-merge paragraph gained the two limits the exporter applies: only layers Locus named itself are merged, and the annotation layers never fold in with the drawing colors. Both checked against src-tauri/src/export.rs. Navigation - _Sidebar.md Data block regrouped into the five flyouts - Six retired Explode entries dropped, four pages moved to Construct - All 26 previous and next chains rebuilt from the sidebar as the single source of truth Assets - 17 icons, 7 effect diagrams, 15 node cards

Docs: American spellings, Explode retirement, new nodes, prose pass American spellings throughout. 346 replacements across the public text: centre, colour, grey where it was not the noun, millimetre, behaviour, organise and the rest. Gray keeps its E, which is how Blossom spells it. No UI label in the app was ever British, so the wiki and the app agree. Explode is now one node. node-explode.md is new and answers for every shape, taking a group apart a layer at a time. The six per-type pages stay reachable and each carries a retirement notice pointing at it; documents built with them still open and still work. Two new node pages, Compare and Select by Condition, both with an icon pending note for Vera. Export grouping documented in preferences, export-svg and export-dxf: Group by Layers and Group by Outline Color, alongside hairline black. Math gains Absolute Value. Tangent rewritten to the new behaviour: options shown, nearest one chosen, click again for the other. Select Parents and Select Children written into selection.md from Theo's spec, with two rows in menu-select.md and dead icon references. Not shipped yet. Both ADD to the selection rather than replacing it. Node prose pass. Every node page now carries at least a short explanation, on the principle that a reader landed there because the interface did not explain itself. Command pages are getting the same treatment, 14 of 34 so far. First-pattern figures rebuilt. The Slider and Math wires crossed on the way into Rotate, which made the Home page banner read as though Angle and Repeat were swapped. They were not; the layout was wrong. Also dropped a degree sign from the Angle socket label, which the app does not have.

Bottom nav on every page, Apollonius, and the Combine menu completed Navigation - Every page's own Previous/Next line is now repeated at the bottom, directly above the Related heading. Done by tools/add_bottom_nav.py, which finds that heading BY NAME rather than by position, so the nav never lands in the middle of a real section. circles-arcs - New Apollonius section with its own figure, apollonius-cases.png, built by a new generator build_apollonius.mjs. Three worked cases: two lines and a circle, three circles, two points and a line. One solution solid, the rest light and dotted. Placed immediately before the Arc tool heading. - circle-methods.png reverted: Apollonius gets a separate diagram, not a fourth panel on the existing one. selection - Select Outer Edges removed. It is a node-side command and does not belong on the modeling-view page. Added a Related link to the node page instead. transform-tools - Rewritten so the page only ever speaks of transforming POINTS. Locus does not transform objects, it transforms the free root points an object is built from, and everything standing on them re-solves and follows. - New callout before the Transform menu heading: if root points are shared with objects you do not want to move, run Edit > Detach first. - Reference and handle clicks snap in all the same ways a point does. align-distribute - The same Detach callout added at the bottom, below the refusal paragraph. regions-booleans - Paint Region added to the list of ways to build a region. menu-combine - The Combine menu has eight commands and this page listed six. Paint Region and Split (Bake) added, in menu order. - Two new pages: combine-paint.md and combine-split.md. Split's page says plainly that it is a one-shot bake, not a live boolean. - The Previous/Next chain shifted, so combine-fill, combine-autoregion, combine-difference and menu-transform changed their nav lines, and _Sidebar gained both entries. - Both icons rendered by the normal exporter from Vera's glyphs, tinted region like the rest of the row.

Beta 2 docs: Bounding Box, Auto Mirror, Auto Array, and what 0.3.0 changed New pages for the Bounding Box node and the Auto Mirror / Auto Array library clusters, with cards. The symmetry clusters no longer have a Guides output and their Upright input is now Deskew: pages, cards (all seven languages) and the generators updated. Existing pages catch up with the rest of the release: weld seams in line work, Stroke W as a field or list, per-shape SVG line weights, new-file framing and pencil, guide nudging, snap lines finding crossings, multi-select Divide, image References, Inspect keys and ghost colours, and a language change that keeps the drawing.

Keyboard characters only: sweep all 245 English pages Every character that cannot be typed on a US keyboard is replaced. Em dash becomes a colon where it introduces a list bullet's description, matching how the Italian pages already read, and a spaced hyphen everywhere else. The Previous/Next angle quotes and the breadcrumb arrows become < and >, the menu path triangle becomes >, arrows spell out as -> and <->, the ellipsis becomes three periods, and the en dash and minus sign become a hyphen. Two characters do two jobs and are split by context. The middle dot is a pipe where it separates links and " x " where it is multiplication, as in Min + k x Step and Radius x cos(Angle). The degree sign becomes " degrees" after a digit and is dropped after a letter, where it was a stale reference to the Rotate node's Angle socket, which no longer carries one. Also: superscript two becomes 2, the square root sign becomes sqrt, the division sign becomes /, less-than-or-equal becomes <=, and the decorative emoji in Home, the footer, the sidebar, community and licensing are removed. Kept: the command, shift and option key glyphs in the shortcut lines, and the Greek letters used as math notation. Verified: no file changed its line count, and no markdown table row changed its cell count.
