-## 1. What this node is
+A `monster` models the physical "monsternamekast" (composite-sampling cabinet) on a wastewater treatment plant. It runs an AQUON-scheduled, flow-proportional sampling program: aggregates measured + manual flow, blends in a rain-scaled prediction, integrates volume, and emits a `pulse` event whenever the integrated volume crosses `m³ per pulse`. Used downstream of `reactor` / `settler` for compliance + process diagnostics — but note that the node only **integrates flow** in the current implementation; multi-constituent reporting (NH4, NO3, COD, TSS, …) is a downstream consumer concern, not produced by this node.
-**monster** is an S88 Unit that runs an AQUON-scheduled flow-proportional sampling program. It aggregates measured + manual flow, blends a rain-scaled prediction, and emits a `pulse` whenever the integrated volume crosses `m³ per pulse`. Drives the physical "monsternamekast" (composite sampling cabinet) on a wastewater treatment plant.

+| What it represents | One composite-sampling cabinet running AQUON-scheduled, flow-proportional sampling |
+| S88 level | Unit |
+| Use it when | You need scheduled composite samples with flow-proportional pulses for a benchtop analyser / lab pickup |
+| Don't use it for | Generic flow totalising (use `measurement`), ad-hoc grab samples (fire `cmd.start` once instead), or analyser results — monster emits pulses, not analyte values |
+| Children it accepts | `measurement` with `asset.type='flow'` (or unset) |
+| Parents it talks to | Any node that issues `cmd.start` / `set.schedule` / `set.rain` / `data.flow` (typically a Process Cell coordinator) |

-## 3. Capability matrix
+---
-| Capability | Status | Notes |
-|---|---|---|
-| Flow-proportional sampling pulse | ✅ | Triggered when integrated `temp_pulse` ≥ 1. |
-| Time-bounded sampling run | ✅ | Run length governed by `constraints.samplingtime` (hours). |
-| AQUON schedule auto-start | ✅ | `set.schedule` parses AQUON rows; `nextDate` arms the next run. |
-| Rain-scaled flow prediction | ✅ | `set.rain` aggregates Open-Meteo hourly precipitation into `sumRain` / `avgRain`. |
-| Measured + manual flow blend | ✅ | `flowTracker.getEffectiveFlow()` picks measured if recent, else manual. |
-| Minimum sample-interval cooldown | ✅ | Skips pulses inside `minSampleIntervalSec` window. |
-| Bucket / weight tracking | ✅ | `bucketVol`, `bucketWeight` track the composite container. |
-| Sub-sample volume override | ❌ | `subSampleVolume` fixed at 50 mL per schema. |
-| Stateful FSM | ❌ | Monster is run/idle only — no formal state machine. |

-| Module | Owns | Read first if you're changing… |

+What to click after deploy (the inject buttons map to the topics in [Reference — Contracts](Reference-Contracts#topic-contract)):
-## 5. Topic contract
+1. `set.rain` — push an Open-Meteo precipitation snapshot so `sumRain` / `avgRain` populate (otherwise the rain-scaled prediction stays at `nominalFlowMin`).
+2. `set.schedule` — push an AQUON row array so `nextDate` arms.
+3. `data.flow = {value: 240, unit: 'm3/h'}` — supply a manual flow value (or wire a `measurement` child for the measured path).
+4. `cmd.start = true` — releases the start gate. On the next 1000 ms tick the sampling program checks `validateFlowBounds`; if `nominalFlowMin < flowMax`, `_beginRun` fires, `running` flips to `true`, and the bucket integrator starts.
+5. Watch Port 0: `pulse` blips to `true` for one tick whenever `temp_pulse` crosses 1; `bucketVol` rises in 50 mL steps (the hard-coded `subSampleVolume`); `sumPuls` increments.
+6. After `constraints.samplingtime` hours `_endRun` fires and `running` flips to `false`.

+---
-| Canonical topic | Aliases | Payload | Unit | Effect |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| `cmd.start` | `i_start` | `any` | — | Trigger / release the sampler start gate. |
-| `set.schedule` | `monsternametijden` | `any` | — | Replace the sampling-times schedule. |
-| `set.rain` | `rain_data` | `any` | — | Push current rain-event data into the sampler logic. |
-| `data.flow` | `input_q` | `object` | — | Push the upstream flow measurement (payload: {value, unit}). |
-| `set.mode` | `setMode` | `any` | — | Switch the monster between auto / manual modes. |
-| `set.model-prediction` | `model_prediction` | `any` | — | Push the upstream rain-prediction snapshot used by the sampler. |
-| `child.register` | `registerChild` | `string` | — | Register a child node (typically a measurement) with this monster. |
+## The seven things you'll send
-
+| Topic | Aliases | Payload | What it does |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| `cmd.start` | `i_start` | truthy / falsy | Sets `source.i_start`. On the next tick a sampling run begins if `validateFlowBounds` passes. |
+| `set.schedule` | `monsternametijden` | array of AQUON rows (`SAMPLE_NAME`, `DESCRIPTION`, `SAMPLED_DATE`, `START_DATE`, `END_DATE`) | Stores the schedule and recomputes `nextDate` + `daysPerYear` for the configured `aquonSampleName`. |
+| `set.rain` | `rain_data` | per-location rain forecast (Open-Meteo shape) | Aggregates hourly precipitation into `sumRain` / `avgRain`; feeds the rain-scaled flow prediction. Ignored while `running=true`. |
+| `data.flow` | `input_q` | `{ value: number, unit: string }` | Converts to m³/h and pushes into `flow.manual.atequipment`. Blends with measured-child flow in `getEffectiveFlow()`. |
+| `set.mode` | `setMode` | string | Reserved — handler delegates to `source.setMode()` which is currently undefined. No-op today. |
+| `set.model-prediction` | `model_prediction` | numeric | Reserved — handler delegates to `source.setModelPrediction()` which is currently undefined. No-op today. |
+| `child.register` | `registerChild` | string (child node id) | Register a `measurement` child. Port 2 wiring does this automatically. |
-## 6. Child registration
+There is no `query.*` topic on monster (unlike `rotatingMachine`'s `query.curves` / `query.cog`). All state is on Port 0.
-Mirrors the `ChildRouter` declaration in `specificClass.js → configure()`. Monster only accepts `measurement` children whose `asset.type` is `flow` (or unset).

+| Field | Meaning |
+|:---|:---|

+| `m3PerPuls` | Volume per pulse, set at `_beginRun` from `predFlow / targetPuls`. |
+| `m3Total` | Total integrated flow this run (m³). |
+| `q` | Effective flow (m³/h) — `flowTracker.getEffectiveFlow()` blends measured + manual. |
+| `predFlow` / `predM3PerSec` | Predicted total volume over the run window (m³) and its average rate. |
+| `timeLeft` / `timePassed` | Run-window seconds remaining / elapsed. |
+| `targetVolumeM3` / `targetProgressPct` / `targetDeltaL` | Target composite volume (m³), % of target accumulated, signed L delta against target. |
+| `predictedRateM3h` | Rain-scaled flow prediction (m³/h) — between `nominalFlowMin` and `flowMax`. |
+| `sumRain` / `avgRain` | Probability-weighted hourly precipitation, summed / averaged across locations. |
+| `nextDate` / `daysPerYear` | Next scheduled run epoch ms; count of remaining runs this calendar year. |
+| `missedSamples` / `sampleCooldownMs` | Cooldown-blocked pulse count; ms remaining on the active cooldown. |
+| `invalidFlowBounds` | True when `nominalFlowMin >= flowMax` — gates `_beginRun`. |

-## 12. Debug recipes
-
-| Symptom | First thing to check | Where to look |
-|---|---|---|
-| `pulse` never fires | Is `running` true? Check `validateFlowBounds` log — invalid bounds short-circuits the run. | `parameters/parameters.js` |
-| Pulses arrive too fast / skipped | Cooldown guard active. Inspect `missedSamples` + `minSampleIntervalSec`. | `sampling/samplingProgram.js → _maybeEmitPulse` |
-| `q` always zero | Measured-flow child not registered, manual flow not pushed. Watch Port 2 + `data.flow` history. | `flow/flowTracker.js` |
-| Measurement child ignored at register | Child's `config.asset.type` is set to something other than `"flow"` (e.g. `"flow-electromagnetic"`). Monster only accepts `asset.type = "flow"` or unset. Set `asset.type: "flow"` on the measurement node. | `specificClass.js → _wireMeasurementChild` |
-| `nextDate` not arming | `set.schedule` payload didn't include matching `aquonSampleName` row. | `schedule/schedule.js → regNextDate` |
-| `sumRain` zero with rain input | `rainAggregator.update` ran while `running=true` (skipped). | `specificClass.js → updateRainData` |
-| Bucket overfilled before `stop_time` | `m3PerPuls` rounded down; check `predFlow` vs effective `q`. | `sampling/samplingProgram.js → _beginRun` |
-| `flowmeter=false` has no effect | `constraints.flowmeter` is in the schema but not wired in `buildDomainConfig`. The sampling program always runs in proportional mode. | `src/nodeClass.js → buildDomainConfig` |
-
-> Never ship `enableLog: 'debug'` in a demo — fills the container log within seconds and obscures real errors. Use only for live debugging.
-
-## 13. When you would NOT use this node
-
-- Use monster for **AQUON-scheduled composite sampling** on a wastewater plant. For a single grab sample on demand, fire `cmd.start` once and tear it down — monster is overkill for ad-hoc work.
-- Don't use monster as a generic flow totaliser. Use a `measurement` child with the right type/variant for raw flow integration.
-- Skip monster if you don't need pulse-proportional dosing — the time-mode (`flowmeter=false`) is currently informational only.
-
-## 14. Known limitations / current issues
-
-| # | Issue | Tracked in |
-|---|---|---|
-| 1 | Edge test `sampling-guards.edge.test.js` cooldown-guard case is a pre-existing failure — the cooldown skip increments `missedSamples` but the assertion expects a different timing. | `test/edge/sampling-guards.edge.test.js` |
-| 2 | `set.mode` and `set.model-prediction` are reserved — handlers delegate to optional methods that don't exist yet. | `commands/handlers.js` |
-| 3 | Time-only mode (`flowmeter=false`) is not exercised — the sampling program assumes a flow source. `constraints.flowmeter` is also not forwarded in `buildDomainConfig`. | `sampling/samplingProgram.js`, `src/nodeClass.js` |
-| 4 | Sub-sample volume hard-coded at 50 mL (schema enforces `min=max=50`). | `generalFunctions/src/configs/monster.json` |
-| 5 | S88 colour cleanup pending: node editor colour is `#4f8582` (teal) in `monster.html`. Correct Unit-level colour is `#50a8d9`. Section 2 diagram already uses the correct colour. The editor node tile must be updated separately. | `monster.html` → `color:` field |

+### Tier responsibilities
+
+| Tier | File | What it owns | Touches `RED.*` |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---:|
+| entry | `monster.js` | Type registration; `/monster/menu.js` + `/monster/configData.js` HTTP endpoints | Yes |
+| nodeClass | `src/nodeClass.js` | `tickInterval = 1000` (sampling integrator needs wall-clock delta), `statusInterval = 1000`, `buildDomainConfig` slice, `extraSetup` propagates `aquonSampleName` | Yes |
+| specificClass | `src/specificClass.js` | Wire concern modules in `configure()`; expose the public surface legacy tests call (`monster.bucketVol`, `monster.q`, `monster.sampling_program()`, …); delegate everything else | No |
+
+`specificClass` is orchestration. Real work lives in the concern modules: pure math in `parameters/`, schedule walking in `schedule/`, aggregation in `rain/`, the sampling integrator in `sampling/`.
+
+---
+
+## Sampling program — the time-driven core
+
+monster has **no formal FSM**. The `running` boolean toggles when `_beginRun` / `_endRun` fire. The closest analogue to a state diagram is the per-tick decision tree:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TB
+ tick[tick() — every 1000 ms]
+ tick --> q[q = flowTracker.getEffectiveFlow()]
+ q --> fc[flowCalc()
m3PerTick = q/3600 * dt]
+ fc --> sp[samplingProgram()]
+ sp --> trig{i_start OR
now ≥ nextDate?
AND NOT running}
+ trig -- yes --> vb{validateFlowBounds?}
+ vb -- no --> done[return — running stays false]
+ vb -- yes --> begin[_beginRun
m3PerPuls = predFlow / targetPuls
stop_time = now + samplingtime·h]
+ trig -- no --> active{stop_time > now?}
+ begin --> active
+ active -- yes --> integ[temp_pulse += m3PerTick / m3PerPuls
m3Total += m3PerTick]
+ integ --> pulse[_maybeEmitPulse]
+ pulse --> emit{temp_pulse ≥ 1
AND sumPuls < absMaxPuls?}
+ emit -- no --> notify[notifyOutputChanged]
+ emit -- yes --> cd{cooldown
blocked?}
+ cd -- yes --> miss[missedSamples++
warn one-shot]
+ miss --> notify
+ cd -- no --> fire[temp_pulse -= 1
pulse = true
sumPuls++
bucketVol += 50 mL]
+ fire --> notify
+ active -- no, running --> endR[_endRun — running = false]
+ endR --> notify
+```
+
+Key invariants:
+
+- One pulse per integrated `m³ per pulse`. The cooldown guard suppresses pulses inside `minSampleIntervalSec` and increments `missedSamples` (without rolling the integrator back — `temp_pulse` is clamped to `1` so subsequent ticks land on the same threshold once the cooldown clears).
+- `_beginRun` rounds `m3PerPuls = round(predFlow / targetPuls)`. With low `predFlow` this can round to 0; the integrator then divides by zero and `temp_pulse` becomes `Infinity`. Tracked — see [Limitations](Reference-Limitations#mperpuls-can-round-to-zero).
+- `subSampleVolume` is hard-coded at 50 mL via `volume_pulse = 0.05`. The schema enforces `min=max=50` so the field is informational only.
+- `set.rain` updates are **skipped while `running=true`** — the rain band is only re-evaluated between runs.
+
+---
+
+## Rain-scaled flow prediction
+
+`parameters.getPredictedFlowRate` linearly scales between `nominalFlowMin` and `flowMax`:
+
+```
+scale = clamp(avgRain / maxRainRef, 0, 1)
+predicted = nominalFlowMin + (flowMax - nominalFlowMin) * scale
+```
+
+with `avgRain` zeroed after `RAIN_STALE_MS = 2 hours` since the last `set.rain` update.
+
+`rainAggregator.update` folds the Open-Meteo per-location payload by timestamp, multiplying each hour's `precipitation` by its `precipitation_probability/100` and summing across locations. `avgRain` is the per-location mean of the probability-weighted sum.
+
+`getModelPrediction` (called inside `_beginRun`) computes the run's expected volume:
+
+```
+predFlow = max(0, predictedRate · samplingtime)
+ // falls back to getEffectiveFlow when predictedRate is 0
+```
+
+So `predFlow` is total m³ over the run window, and `m3PerPuls = round(predFlow / targetPuls)`.
+
+---
+
+## Flow blending
+
+`flowTracker` owns three writers:
+
+| Source | Where it writes |
+|:---|:---|
+| `data.flow` (operator / parent) | `flow.manual.atequipment` |
+| Child `flow.measured.upstream` | `flow.measured.upstream` |
+| Child `flow.measured.atequipment` | `flow.measured.atequipment` |
+| Child `flow.measured.downstream` | `flow.measured.downstream` |
+
+`getEffectiveFlow()` blends:
+
+```
+measured = mean(flow.measured.upstream/atequipment/downstream where present)
+manual = flow.manual.atequipment
+
+effective = (measured + manual) / 2 if both present
+ = measured if only measured present
+ = manual if only manual present
+ = 0 otherwise
+```
+
+There is no source-priority / preference policy — both sources contribute equally when both are present. Contrast with `rotatingMachine`'s `pressureSelector` which prefers real over virtual children.
+
+---
+
+## Lifecycle — what one event does
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+ autonumber
+ participant child as measurement child
+ participant ops as operator / AQUON
+ participant monster as monster
+ participant ft as flowTracker
+ participant ra as rainAggregator
+ participant sp as samplingProgram
+ participant out as Port 0 / 1
+
+ child->>monster: flow.measured.
+ monster->>ft: handleMeasuredFlow(eventData)
+ ops->>monster: set.schedule / cmd.start / data.flow / set.rain
+ Note over monster: every 1000 ms tick
+ monster->>ft: getEffectiveFlow() → q
+ monster->>sp: flowCalc → m3PerTick
+ monster->>sp: samplingProgram
+ alt i_start OR now ≥ nextDate
+ sp->>sp: validateFlowBounds → _beginRun

+ alt running AND stop_time > now
+ sp->>sp: integrate temp_pulse
+ sp->>sp: _maybeEmitPulse (cooldown-guarded)
+ else stop_time elapsed
+ sp->>sp: _endRun
+ end
+ monster->>out: notifyOutputChanged (Port 0/1 delta)
+```
+
+### Tick interval
+
+`static tickInterval = 1000` (ms). Set on `nodeClass`. Required by the integrator — `flowCalc` derives `m3PerTick` from the wall-clock delta since the last tick, so the loop must run at a stable cadence.
+
+### Status interval
+
+`static statusInterval = 1000` (ms). The status badge re-renders at the same cadence as the tick.
+
+---
+
+## Output ports
+
+| Port | Carries | Sample shape |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| 0 (process) | Delta-compressed state snapshot — `pulse`, `running`, `bucketVol`, `sumPuls`, `m3PerPuls`, `q`, `predFlow`, `timeLeft`, target deltas, rain summary, `nextDate` | `{topic, payload: {running, pulse, bucketVol, ...}}` |
+| 1 (telemetry) | InfluxDB line-protocol payload (same fields as Port 0) | `monster,id=cabinet_1 running=true,pulse=false,bucketVol=1.25,m3PerPuls=4,...` |
+| 2 (register / control) | `child.register` upward at init | `{topic: 'child.register', payload: {ref, softwareType, config, positionVsParent, distance}}` |
+
+monster does **not** include a `` segment on flattened measurement keys (it has no per-child key disambiguation — the latest value per position wins).
+
+See [EVOLV — Telemetry](https://gitea.wbd-rd.nl/RnD/EVOLV/wiki/Telemetry) for the full InfluxDB layout.

+
+## Event sources
+
+| Source | Where it fires | What it triggers |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| Child measurement emitter | `child.measurements.emitter` on `flow.measured.` | `flowTracker.handleMeasuredFlow` |
+| Inbound `msg.topic` | Node-RED input wire | `commandRegistry` dispatch → handler |
+| `setInterval(tickInterval = 1000)` | `BaseNodeAdapter` | `tick()` → `flowCalc` → `samplingProgram` → `notifyOutputChanged` |
+| `setInterval(statusInterval = 1000)` | `BaseNodeAdapter` | Status badge re-render |
+
+There is no per-state emitter (no `stateChange` / `positionChange`) — monster is purely tick-driven.

+# Reference — Contracts
+
+
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Full topic contract, configuration schema, and child-registration filters for `monster`. Source of truth: `src/commands/index.js`, `src/specificClass.js` `configure()`, and the schema at `generalFunctions/src/configs/monster.json`.
+>

+

+
+---
+
+## Topic contract
+
+The registry lives in `src/commands/index.js`. Each descriptor maps a canonical `msg.topic` to its handler; aliases emit a one-time deprecation warning the first time they fire.
+
+
+
+| Canonical topic | Aliases | Payload | Unit | Effect |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| `cmd.start` | `i_start` | `any` (coerced to `Boolean`) | — | Sets `source.i_start`. On the next tick a sampling run begins if `validateFlowBounds` passes. |
+| `set.schedule` | `monsternametijden` | array of AQUON rows (`SAMPLE_NAME`, `DESCRIPTION`, `SAMPLED_DATE`, `START_DATE`, `END_DATE`) | — | Stores the schedule and recomputes `nextDate` + `daysPerYear` for the configured `aquonSampleName`. |
+| `set.rain` | `rain_data` | per-location rain forecast (Open-Meteo shape) | — | Aggregates hourly precipitation into `sumRain` / `avgRain`. **Skipped while `running=true`.** |
+| `data.flow` | `input_q` | `{ value: number, unit: string }` | volumeFlowRate (any unit `convert()` accepts) | Converts to m³/h, pushes into `flow.manual.atequipment`. Blends with measured-child flow in `getEffectiveFlow()`. |
+| `set.mode` | `setMode` | any | — | **Reserved.** Handler delegates to `source.setMode()` which is currently undefined; no-op today. |
+| `set.model-prediction` | `model_prediction` | any | — | **Reserved.** Handler delegates to `source.setModelPrediction()` which is currently undefined; no-op today. |
+| `child.register` | `registerChild` | string (child node id) | — | Register a `measurement` child with this monster. Port 2 wiring does this automatically in normal flows. |
+
+
+
+### Mode / source / action allow-lists
+
+monster has **no allow-list enforcement**. There is no `flowController.handle` equivalent and no `mode.allowedActions` / `mode.allowedSources` config slice. The `set.mode` handler is a placeholder. Compare `rotatingMachine`, which gates every topic through the mode matrix — on monster, every topic dispatches unconditionally.
+
+---
+
+## Data model — `getOutput()` shape
+
+Composed each tick by `src/io/output.js` `buildOutput()`. Delta-compressed: consumers see only the keys that changed.
+
+### Flat measurement keys
+
+For every `(type, variant, position)` stored in MeasurementContainer, `getFlattenedOutput()` emits the three-segment key (note: monster does **not** add a `` segment, unlike `rotatingMachine`):
+
+| Key | Type | Unit | Notes |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| `flow.manual.atequipment` | number | m³/h | Last `data.flow` value (after conversion). |
+| `flow.measured.upstream` | number | m³/h | Last measured-child reading at this position. |
+| `flow.measured.atequipment` | number | m³/h | Same. |
+| `flow.measured.downstream` | number | m³/h | Same. |
+

+
+## Configuration schema — editor form to config keys
+
+Source of truth: `generalFunctions/src/configs/monster.json` plus `nodeClass.buildDomainConfig`.
+
+### General (`config.general`)
+
+| Form field | Config key | Default | Notes |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| Name | `general.name` | `"Monster Configuration"` | Free-text. |
+| (auto-assigned) | `general.id` | `null` | Node-RED node id. |
+| Default unit | `general.unit` | `unitless` | Not used by the sampling program. |
+| Enable logging | `general.logging.enabled` | `true` | Master switch. |
+| Log level | `general.logging.logLevel` | `info` | `debug` / `info` / `warn` / `error`. |
+
+### Functionality (`config.functionality`)
+
+| Form field | Config key | Default | Notes |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| (hidden) | `functionality.softwareType` | `monster` | Constant. |
+| (hidden) | `functionality.role` | `samplingCabinet` | Constant. |
+| AQUON sample name | `functionality.aquonSampleName` | _unset_ | Forwarded to `source.aquonSampleName` in `extraSetup`. Falls back to `'112100'` in `_initState`. |
+
+### Asset (`config.asset`)
+
+| Form field | Config key | Default | Notes |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| Asset UUID | `asset.uuid` | `null` | Globally-unique identifier. |
+| Geolocation | `asset.geoLocation` | `{x:0, y:0, z:0}` | |
+| Supplier | `asset.supplier` | `"Unknown"` | Schema only — not used by the sampling program. |
+| Type | `asset.type` | `"sensor"` (enum) | Schema only. |
+| SubType | `asset.subType` | `"pressure"` | Schema only; misleading default for a sampling cabinet (flag). |
+| Model | `asset.model` | `"Unknown"` | Schema only. |
+| Empty bucket weight (kg) | `asset.emptyWeightBucket` | `3` | Used in `bucketWeight = bucketVol + emptyWeightBucket` and in `maxVolume = maxWeight - emptyWeightBucket`. |
+
+### Constraints (`config.constraints`)
+
+| Form field | Config key | Default | Range | Notes |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| Sampling time (hr) | `constraints.samplingtime` | `0` | ≥ 0 | Run length. Used as `samplingtime · 3600 · 1000` ms for `stop_time`. |
+| Sampling period (hr) | `constraints.samplingperiod` | `24` | ≥ 1 | Documented as the fixed composite-collection period; not enforced by `samplingProgram` — the AQUON schedule arms the run. |
+| Min volume (L) | `constraints.minVolume` | `5` | ≥ 5 | Used in `targetVolume = minVolume · √(maxVolume / minVolume)`. |
+| Max weight (kg) | `constraints.maxWeight` | `23` | ≤ 23 | Bucket-overload bound; `maxVolume = maxWeight - emptyWeightBucket`. |
+| Sub-sample volume (mL) | `constraints.subSampleVolume` | `50` | fixed | Schema enforces `min=max=50`. Hard-coded as `volume_pulse = 0.05` in domain. |
+| Storage temperature (°C) | `constraints.storageTemperature.min/max` | `{1, 5}` | per-leg | Schema only — informational. |
+| Flowmeter present | `constraints.flowmeter` | `true` | bool | ⚠️ In schema but **not** wired in `buildDomainConfig`. Effectively always `true`. |
+| Closed system | `constraints.closedSystem` | `false` | bool | Schema only. |
+| Intake speed (m/s) | `constraints.intakeSpeed` | `0.3` | ≥ 0 | Schema only — informational. |
+| Intake diameter (mm) | `constraints.intakeDiameter` | `12` | ≥ 0 | Schema only — informational. |
+| Nominal flow min (m³/h) | `constraints.nominalFlowMin` | `0` | ≥ 0 | Lower bound of rain-driven flow prediction. |
+| Flow max (m³/h) | `constraints.flowMax` | `0` | ≥ 0 | Upper bound of rain-driven flow prediction. |
+| Max rain reference | `constraints.maxRainRef` | `10` | > 0 | Rain index that maps to `flowMax`. |
+| Min sample interval (s) | `constraints.minSampleIntervalSec` | `60` | ≥ 0 | Cooldown guard. |
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> **Default `flowMax = 0` blocks every run.** `validateFlowBounds` requires `0 ≤ nominalFlowMin < flowMax`. Out of the box the bounds are invalid and `_beginRun` never fires. Set `flowMax` to a realistic upper bound before deploying.
+
+### Unit policy
+
+monster has **no `requireUnitForTypes` policy** declared in `specificClass`. Conversions happen at the boundary:
+
+| Quantity | Canonical (internal) | Carried as | Notes |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| Flow (`data.flow`) | m³/h | m³/h | `handlers.dataFlow` converts inbound via `convert(value).from(unit).to('m3/h')`. |
+| Flow (measured-child) | as supplied | as supplied | `flowTracker.handleMeasuredFlow` defaults to `'m3/h'` when `unit` is missing; **does not convert**. Wire children that emit in m³/h. |
+| Volume (`bucketVol`) | L | L | Output also exposes m³ derivations (`targetVolumeM3`, `targetDeltaM3`). |
+| Weight | kg | kg | |
+| Time | s (timers) / ms (timestamps) | mixed | `timePassed` / `timeLeft` in s, `nextDate` in epoch ms. |
+
+---
+
+## Child registration
+
+Source: `src/specificClass.js` `_wireMeasurementChild`. The registrar subscribes to all three `flow.measured.` events on the child's measurement emitter as long as the child's `config.asset.type` is `'flow'` or unset.
+
+| Software type | Filter | Wired to | Side-effect |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| `measurement` | `asset.type='flow'` (or missing) | `flowTracker.handleMeasuredFlow` (handles all three positions) | Latches latest measured flow per position; `getEffectiveFlow` blends across positions and with `manualFlow`. |
+| `measurement` | `asset.type` anything else | _ignored_ | The branch returns early; no listener is attached. |
+
+monster has **no position-based filtering**. Unlike `rotatingMachine` (which routes upstream pressure separately from downstream), all three flow positions are wired to the same handler and the latest value per position wins.
+
+There are **no auto-registered virtual children** (no `dashboard-sim-*` equivalent). Inject simulated flow via `data.flow` instead.

+
+## Loading a flow
+
+### Via the editor
+
+1. Open the Node-RED editor at `http://localhost:1880`.
+2. Menu → Import → drag the JSON file.
+3. Click Deploy.
+
+### Via the Admin API
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+ --data @"nodes/monster/examples/basic.flow.json" \
+ http://localhost:1880/flows
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example 01 — Basic (`basic.flow.json`)
+
+Single-cabinet flow with the minimum inputs to drive one sampling run. Pending live validation.
+
+### Suggested click order after deploy
+
+1. **Seed the rain forecast.** Click the `set.rain` inject. `sumRain` / `avgRain` populate; `predictedRateM3h` jumps from `nominalFlowMin` to a band-scaled value. (Skip this step and the prediction collapses to `nominalFlowMin`, which is `0` out of the box — the run will still start, but `predFlow` will be 0 and `m3PerPuls` will round to 0; see [Limitations](Reference-Limitations#mperpuls-can-round-to-zero).)
+2. **Seed the schedule.** Click the `set.schedule` inject with an AQUON row array containing at least one `START_DATE` in the future for `aquonSampleName=112100` (the default).
+3. **Push a manual flow.** Click `data.flow = {value: 240, unit: 'm3/h'}`.
+4. **Start.** Click `cmd.start = true`. On the next tick `validateFlowBounds` runs — if `nominalFlowMin < flowMax`, `_beginRun` fires and `running` flips to `true`.
+5. **Watch Port 0.** `pulse` blips to `true` for one tick on each integrated-volume threshold cross. `bucketVol` rises in 50 mL steps. `sumPuls` increments.
+6. **Stop.** Either wait `samplingtime` hours for `_endRun`, or redeploy.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **Screenshot needed.** Editor capture of `basic.flow.json` after step 4. Save as `wiki/_partial-screenshots/monster/basic-running.png`.
+
+### Try the cooldown guard
+
+After the first pulse:
+
+1. Push a higher manual flow (`data.flow = {value: 1200, unit: 'm3/h'}`) so the integrator races past `m3PerPuls` again within `minSampleIntervalSec` (default 60 s).
+2. Watch the log: `Sampling too fast. Cooldown active for Ns.`
+3. `missedSamples` increments, `pulse` stays `false`, `sampleCooldownMs` ticks down to 0, then the next pulse fires.
+
+---
+
+## Example 02 — Integrated end-to-end (`02-integrated-e2e.json`)
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **Screenshot needed.** Editor capture of `02-integrated-e2e.json`. Save as `wiki/_partial-screenshots/monster/02-integrated.png`. Replace this callout with the image link.
+
+One monster + one or more `measurement` flow children. Demonstrates:
+
+- Auto-registration via Port 2 at deploy (each child's `child.register` reaches the monster).
+- Measured + manual flow blend — `getEffectiveFlow` averages both when present.
+- Schedule-armed sampling run — `nextDate` triggers `_beginRun` without an `i_start` click.
+
+Detailed click order: pending review.
+
+---
+
+## Dashboard / API example flows
+
+The `examples/README.md` references `monster-dashboard.flow.json` (FlowFuse charts for `pulse`, `bucket`, `predFlow`) and `monster-api-dashboard.flow.json` (Open-Meteo + AQUON SFTP + Grafana publish template with placeholder credentials). Neither file is present at `cd185dc`. See the inventory note at the top of this page.
+
+When restored, the API flow MUST be hardened before production:
+
+- Replace every `__SET_*__` placeholder with an env-backed secret.
+- Pin the Open-Meteo endpoint and Aquon SFTP host to environment variables.
+- Route the dashboard publish through `dashboardAPI`, not a hardcoded Grafana URL.

+
+## Debug recipes
+
+| Symptom | First thing to check | Where to look |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| `pulse` never fires | Is `running=true`? If not, check `validateFlowBounds` — the `Invalid flow bounds. nominalFlowMin=…, flowMax=…` warn means the default `flowMax=0` is in play. Set `nominalFlowMin < flowMax` in the editor. | `parameters/parameters.js → validateFlowBounds` |
+| `pulse` never fires (bounds OK) | Is `m3PerPuls` zero? `_beginRun` rounds `predFlow / targetPuls` to nearest integer m³. Low `predFlow` rounds to 0; integrator divides by 0 → `temp_pulse = Infinity`, the `sumPuls < absMaxPuls` guard then runs out. | `sampling/samplingProgram.js → _beginRun` |
+| Pulses arrive too fast / skipped | Cooldown guard active. Inspect `missedSamples` + `sampleCooldownMs`. Look for `Sampling too fast. Cooldown active for Ns.` in the log. | `sampling/samplingProgram.js → _maybeEmitPulse` |
+| `q` always zero | Measured-flow child not registered, manual flow not pushed. Watch Port 2 + `data.flow` history. | `flow/flowTracker.js` |
+| Measurement child ignored at register | Child's `config.asset.type` is set to something other than `"flow"` (e.g. `"flow-electromagnetic"`). monster only accepts `asset.type = "flow"` or unset. Set `asset.type: "flow"` on the measurement node. | `specificClass.js → _wireMeasurementChild` |
+| Measured-flow values look 60× high or wrong unit | `flowTracker.handleMeasuredFlow` does **not** convert: it stores the value as-supplied (defaulting unit to `'m3/h'`). Wire children that already emit m³/h or fix at the source. | `flow/flowTracker.js → handleMeasuredFlow` |
+| `nextDate` not arming | `set.schedule` payload didn't include any rows matching `aquonSampleName` with a future `START_DATE`. | `schedule/schedule.js → regNextDate` |
+| `sumRain` stays zero with rain input | `set.rain` is ignored while `running=true` — only consumed between runs. Wait for `_endRun` or push the rain payload before `cmd.start`. | `specificClass.js → updateRainData` |
+| `data.flow` payloads dropped silently | The handler requires `{value: , unit: }`. Bare numbers or missing `unit` log `data.flow payload must include numeric value and unit.` | `commands/handlers.js → dataFlow` |
+| `predictedRateM3h` stays at `nominalFlowMin` | `set.rain` not sent, `lastRainUpdate` is 0, or > 2 hours have passed (`RAIN_STALE_MS`). Re-push the rain payload. | `parameters/parameters.js → getRainIndex` |
+| `flowmeter=false` has no effect | `constraints.flowmeter` is in the schema but **not** wired in `buildDomainConfig`. The sampling program always runs in proportional mode. | `src/nodeClass.js → buildDomainConfig` |
+| `set.mode` / `set.model-prediction` no-op | Handlers delegate to `source.setMode()` / `source.setModelPrediction()` which don't exist. These topics are reserved for future use. | `commands/handlers.js` |
+| Status badge stuck at `Config error: …` | `nominalFlowMin >= flowMax`. Fix the bounds and redeploy. | `io/statusBadge.js` |
+
+> Never ship `enableLog: 'debug'` in a demo — fills the container log within seconds and obscures real errors.

+

+
+## When you would not use this node
+
+| Scenario | Use instead |
+|:---|:---|
+| Ad-hoc single grab sample | Fire `cmd.start` once and tear it down — monster is overkill for one-off work. A `measurement` child with a one-shot inject is lighter. |
+| Generic flow totaliser | `measurement` with the right type/variant, or a dedicated integrator function on the upstream parent. |
+| Multi-constituent analyser (NH4, NO3, COD, TSS, …) | monster only emits **pulse + bucket-volume** events — it does **not** model analyte concentrations. The Home page framing ("multi-parameter biological process monitor") describes the **downstream** consumer of the composite sample, not the monster node's outputs. Pending review whether the framing should change or whether analyte fields should be added to Port 0. |
+| Time-mode sampling (no flow source) | Not exercised. `constraints.flowmeter = false` exists in the schema but is **not** forwarded in `buildDomainConfig`; the sampling program always runs in flow-proportional mode. |
+
+---
+
+## Known limitations
+
+### `m3PerPuls` can round to zero
+
+`_beginRun` computes `m3PerPuls = Math.round(predFlow / targetPuls)`. With low `predFlow` (e.g. an unconfigured `flowMax`, a stale rain forecast, or a very short `samplingtime`) this rounds to 0. The integrator then divides by 0; `temp_pulse` becomes `Infinity`; the first iteration of `_maybeEmitPulse` ramps `sumPuls` up to `absMaxPuls` in one tick and stops. **Symptom: instant bucket fill, then idle.** Workaround: ensure `predFlow ≥ targetPuls` (typical `targetPuls` is 200), e.g. `flowMax ≥ 200 m³` or longer `samplingtime`. Tracked.
+
+### Default `flowMax = 0` blocks every run
+
+The schema defaults `nominalFlowMin = 0` and `flowMax = 0`. `validateFlowBounds` requires `min >= 0 && max > 0 && min < max`, so the default config is invalid and the run never starts. The status badge surfaces this as `Config error: nominalFlowMin (0) >= flowMax (0)`. Fix the bounds before deploying. Tracked.
+
+### `set.rain` is dropped while `running=true`
+
+`updateRainData` short-circuits when `running` is true — the rain forecast is only consumed between runs. During a long `samplingtime` (e.g. 24 h) the rain forecast goes stale silently. `getRainIndex` does enforce a 2-hour `RAIN_STALE_MS` cap on `avgRain`, but only **outside** a run; during a run the cached `predFlow` is whatever `_beginRun` froze. Open question.
+
+### `set.mode` and `set.model-prediction` are reserved
+
+Both handlers delegate to optional methods (`source.setMode()`, `source.setModelPrediction()`) that don't exist on `Monster`. Sending these topics is a no-op. They survive the registry only as forward-compatibility placeholders. Scheduled to either be implemented or removed in a later phase.
+
+### `constraints.flowmeter` is not wired
+
+The schema field exists with a `true` default, but `nodeClass.buildDomainConfig` does **not** forward it. The sampling program assumes a flow source unconditionally. Setting `flowmeter=false` in the editor has no runtime effect. Tracked.
+
+### `subSampleVolume` is hard-coded at 50 mL
+
+`volume_pulse = 0.05` in `_initSamplingDefaults` is a constant. The schema enforces `min=max=50` so the field is informational only. Bucket-and-target math (`minPuls`, `maxPuls`, `absMaxPuls`, `targetPuls`) all assume 50 mL. Changing this requires a coordinated change across `parameters.js`, the schema, and any consumer that decodes pulse counts back to volume. Tracked.
+
+### Measured-flow handler does not convert units
+
+`flowTracker.handleMeasuredFlow` reads `eventData.unit` but only uses it to label the stored measurement — the **value is not converted**. If a measurement child emits in `l/s`, monster stores the raw number and labels it `l/s`, but `getEffectiveFlow` is consumed as if it were m³/h. Wire children that already emit in m³/h, or set `default unit` on the child to `m3/h`. Tracked.
+
+### Edge test `sampling-guards.edge.test.js` cooldown-guard case fails
+
+A pre-existing failure documented in `CONTRACT.md` Section 14. The cooldown skip increments `missedSamples` but the assertion expects different timing. Tracked.
+
+### S88 colour cleanup pending
+
+The editor node colour in `monster.html` is `#4f8582` (teal). The correct Unit-level S88 colour is `#50a8d9`. The Mermaid diagrams in this wiki already use the correct colour. The editor node tile must be updated separately. Tracked in `.claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md` Section 16.
+
+### No formal FSM
+
+Unlike `rotatingMachine` (idle → starting → warmingup → operational → …) monster only has the `running` boolean. There is no protected-state guarantee, no abort token, no sequence registry. Cooldown and bounds are the only safety guards. If a future requirement needs e.g. a `pausing` / `paused` state, the sampling program needs to be lifted onto the platform's `state` module. Open question.
+
+### No multi-parent registration audit
+
+`childRegistrationUtils.registerChild` runs unconditionally. Whether monster can be safely wired under multiple parents (e.g. one reactor and one settler), and whether teardown ordering is correct, has not been audited. Open question.
+
+### Multi-constituent reporting absent
+
+The node's framing in the project memory ("multi-parameter biological process monitor — surrogate for a benchtop analyser") suggests monster reports NH4 / NO3 / COD / TSS / etc. **The current implementation does not.** monster emits volumetric pulse + bucket state only. Lab analyte values are produced by a separate downstream consumer that ingests the physical composite sample collected on the monster's pulses. Either:
+
+- the framing should be tightened to "composite sampler / sampling-cabinet controller", or
+- analyte fields (with timestamps and per-pulse correlations) should be added to Port 0.
+
+Pending decision-gate review.
+
+---
+
+## Open questions (tracked)
+
+| Question | Where it lives |
+|:---|:---|
+| Should `set.rain` updates apply mid-run (best-effort `predFlow` re-compute) or stay run-frozen? | Internal — not yet ticketed |
+| Implement or remove `set.mode` + `set.model-prediction` placeholders | Internal |
+| Wire `constraints.flowmeter` and exercise the time-mode path | Internal |
+| Add unit conversion to `flowTracker.handleMeasuredFlow` | Internal |
+| Round-to-zero `m3PerPuls` — clamp to ≥ 1 or refuse to start? | Internal |
+| Multi-parent registration safety audit | Internal |
+| Add formal FSM (`idle` / `armed` / `running` / `cooldown`)? | Open |
+| Add analyte / multi-constituent reporting to Port 0, or rephrase the node's framing | Decision-gate — pending |
+| Restore or remove the dangling `monster-dashboard.flow.json` + `monster-api-dashboard.flow.json` references | Internal |

+
+## Migration notes
+
+### From legacy topic aliases
+
+The pre-canonical topics (`i_start`, `monsternametijden`, `rain_data`, `input_q`, `setMode`, `model_prediction`) are accepted as aliases and emit a one-time deprecation warning. They are scheduled for removal in Phase 7. Update flows to use the canonical names from [Reference — Contracts](Reference-Contracts#topic-contract):
+
+| Legacy | Canonical |
+|:---|:---|
+| `i_start` | `cmd.start` |
+| `monsternametijden` | `set.schedule` |
+| `rain_data` | `set.rain` |
+| `input_q` | `data.flow` |
+| `setMode` | `set.mode` |
+| `model_prediction` | `set.model-prediction` |
+| `registerChild` | `child.register` |
+
+### Pre-2026-05-11 invalid-bounds silent skip
+
+Before 2026-05-11 `nominalFlowMin` / `flowMax` were not declared in `monster.json`'s `constraints` section. `configUtils` stripped them as unknown keys; bounds collapsed to undefined → NaN → invalid, silently blocking every run. Fixed in the schema; ensure your `monster.json` is at the current commit.
