znetsixe 5ae8788fd7 wiki: crisp overhaul — no decoration emoji, all 9 master pages refactored
Source-tree mirror of EVOLV.wiki.git refactor (27a42ee on wiki.git):

- 7 master pages rewritten with clean design (Home, Architecture,
  Topology-Patterns, Topic-Conventions, Telemetry, Getting-Started,
  Glossary). Tables and Mermaid for visuals, gitea alert callouts for
  warnings, shields badges for metadata only. No emoji as decoration.
- Archive.md becomes a removal-changelog pointing readers to git
  history and to the successor pages.
- _Sidebar.md updated to navigate the new flat-name layout.
- Concept / finding / manual pages: uniform mini-header (badges +
  "reference page" callout) added without rewriting domain content.
- Every internal link now uses the flat naming that resolves on the
  live gitea wiki (Concept-ASM-Models, Finding-BEP-..., etc.).

On wiki.git: 29 Archive-* pages hard-deleted (the git history
preserves them; Archive.md documents the removal).

Node-RED Messages and Editor/Runtime Structure (EVOLV Summary)

code-ref type

Note

Reference page. Maintained for context; not regenerated by code. See Home for current top-level navigation.

Sources:

Message Shape

  • Standard message object is usually msg.
  • msg.payload is the default value channel.
  • msg.topic is used for routing/intent labeling.

EVOLV Topic Routing

  • EVOLV runtime wrappers route commands by msg.topic in src/nodeClass.js.
  • Keep topic names stable unless a migration is defined (flow compatibility).

Editor/Runtime Parity

  • In .html, RED.nodes.registerType(... defaults ...) defines persisted config fields.
  • Runtime parser in src/nodeClass.js must read and normalize the same fields.
  • If a field is added/renamed in editor defaults, update runtime mapping and tests in the same change.

Multi-Output Node Rule

  • Runtime node.send([out1, out2, out3]) must align with declared outputs in .html.
  • If output meaning is process, dbase, parent, maintain stable index mapping across all message paths.
