  • Document cords either way, the on/off switch, and what out is really for Cords can be pulled from an input as well as an output, and dropping onto a taken input replaces the cord rather than refusing it. A transform's title carries an on/off switch that passes its input through while keeping every cord and setting. Out is no longer described as undeletable: a flow without one can still be a provider handing signals out through give. Node previews keep the wall's uniform-bank layout, so an edit cannot leave the two sides uploading different shapes.

  • Say that light goes past white, and that copies get dealt The node manual regenerates itself, so `vary` and the two new modes arrived in Nodes.md on their own. Visuals.md needed the prose: a neon filament is driven above what the screen can show and `spread/bloom` is what puts that excess back as halo, which is the difference between a lit line and a pale one. `shade` gains `filament` — one colour from unlit to blown — because ramping across the palette paints hue onto geometry and a curve whose colour changes along its length reads as a thermal image. And `vary` is here, with why a copy number wired straight into brightness gives a ramp round the ring rather than sixteen separate lights. Twenty-four flows now: `depth` and `comet` join the five.

  • Name the five flows made of glowing line The library table said seventeen and lists twenty-two now. The last five are one family rather than five unlike each other, which is worth saying in the guide along with why: they are the only place the drawing nodes are written down as something you can take apart, and what they are not is a folder of video files — the loop is the beat, the colour is your colourway, and there is no resolution they were mastered at.

  • Add the drawing nodes to the manual, and the oscillator merge to the guide The node reference is generated, so `figure`, `array`, `glow`, `shade` and `form` arrived in it on their own. The guide is not: it calls out the nodes worth a paragraph, and five new ones with nothing said about them would send a reader to a reference page to work out what a distance is for. So: how a shape becomes a lit line, why `array`'s second outlet is the point of it, and what `form` costs — it brings its own light rather than being bloomed, and turning `chrome` up trades the glow for a reflection of a room built out of the colourway.

  • Every node, every mode, every inlet — generated from the rig Visuals has a table of what you can drop on a canvas, written by hand and read before you start. This is the other half: the thirty nodes in full, with each one's modes, what every inlet is for, and the value it starts on until you say otherwise. It is generated — `npm run dev:node-manual` in the repo — from the same descriptions the app prints on the node, so the manual and the app cannot come to disagree about what a mode does. The list it joins had said eleven `lens` modes since the twelfth was added.
