flowfig 0.5.0

Long swimlane processes now fit in one figure, and decision boxes keep their text inside the diamond.

npx flowfig init   # get the new agent instructions

New

• Swimlanes wrap. When the steps of a lanes: true figure do not fit the page width, flowfig wraps the time columns into blocks, one under the other. Each block shows only the lanes that have a step in it. An edge between two blocks becomes two short labeled stubs, for example "→ Inspect" and "from Ship item". A process of 7 or more steps now stays readable in one figure.
• lane-end-block check. check warns when an edge in a wrapped figure ends at a lane that no nearby block shows.
• stub-crosses-edge check. check warns when a stub line crosses another edge. --strict makes it an error.

Improvements

• A decision box (shape: 'decision') wraps its sub line inside the diamond outline and grows taller when it needs more room. check now tests the text against the diamond shape.
• --width now also sets where the lanes wrap, in the CLI and in the MCP render tool.
• Agents keep a long process in one figure. For a process document, agents now also show every deadline, every message to a person, every choice and every wait for a reply.

Requirements

• Node 18 or later.
• React 18 or later, only for the <Flow /> player.

Upgrade

No breaking change. A lanes figure that fits the width renders as before. Run npx flowfig init again in your repo to get the new agent instructions.
