Some checks failed
CI / lint-and-test (push) Has been cancelled
chore: clean up superproject structure
Move content to correct locations:
- AGENTS.md → .agents/AGENTS.md (with orchestrator reference update)
- third_party/docs/ (8 reference docs) → wiki/concepts/
- manuals/ (12 Node-RED docs) → wiki/manuals/

Delete 23 unreferenced one-off scripts from scripts/ (keeping 5 active).
Delete stale Dockerfile.e2e, docker-compose.e2e.yml, test/e2e/.
Remove empty third_party/ directory.

Root is now: README, CLAUDE.md, LICENSE, package.json, Makefile,
Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, docker/, scripts/ (5), nodes/, wiki/,
plus dotfiles (.agents, .claude, .gitea).

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

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.
