## Summary

Extract repeated patterns from 12 subgraph Playwright spec files into
shared test utilities, reducing duplication by ~142 lines.

## Changes

- **What**: New shared helpers for common subgraph test operations:
- `SubgraphHelper`: `getSlotCount()`, `getSlotLabel()`, `removeSlot()`,
`findSubgraphNodeId()`
  - `NodeReference`: `delete()`
- `subgraphTestUtils`: `serializeAndReload()`,
`convertDefaultKSamplerToSubgraph()`, `expectWidgetBelowHeader()`,
`collectConsoleWarnings()`, `packAllInteriorNodes()`
- Replaced ~72 inline `page.evaluate` blocks and multi-line sequences
with single helper calls across 12 spec files

## Review Focus

- Behavioral equivalence: every replacement is a mechanical extraction
with no test logic changes
- API surface of new helpers: naming, parameter types, placement in
existing utility classes
- Whether any remaining inline patterns in the spec files would benefit
from further extraction

+description: Checks code changes against Architecture Decision Records, with emphasis on ECS (ADR 0008) and command-pattern (ADR 0003) compliance
+severity-default: medium
+tools: [Read, Grep, glob]
+---
+
+Check that code changes are consistent with the project's Architecture Decision Records in `docs/adr/`.
+
+## Priority 1: ECS and Command-Pattern Compliance (ADR 0008 + ADR 0003)
+
+These are the primary architectural guardrails. Every entity/litegraph change must be checked against them.
+
+### Command Pattern (ADR 0003)
+
+All entity state mutations MUST be expressible as **serializable, idempotent, deterministic commands**. This is required for CRDT sync, undo/redo, cross-environment portability, and gateway backends.
+
+Flag:
+
+- **Direct spatial mutation** — `node.pos = ...`, `node.size = ...`, `group.pos = ...` outside of a store or command. All spatial data flows through `layoutStore` commands.
+- **Imperative fire-and-forget mutation** — Any new API that mutates entity state as a side effect rather than producing a serializable command object. Systems should produce command batches, not execute mutations directly.
+- **Void-returning mutation APIs** — New entity mutation functions that return `void` instead of a result type (`{ status: 'applied' | 'rejected' | 'no-op' }`). Commands need error/rejection semantics.
+- **Auto-incrementing IDs in new entity code** — New entity creation using auto-increment counters without acknowledging the CRDT collision problem. Concurrent environments need globally unique, stable identifiers.
+
+### ECS Architecture (ADR 0008)
+
+The graph domain model is migrating to ECS. New code must not make the migration harder.
+
+Flag:
+
+- **God-object growth** — New methods/properties added to `LGraphNode` (~4k lines), `LGraphCanvas` (~9k lines), `LGraph` (~3k lines), or `Subgraph`. Extract to systems, stores, or composables instead.
+- **Mixed data and behavior** — New component-like data structures that contain methods or back-references to parent entities. ECS components are plain data objects.
+- **New circular entity dependencies** — New circular imports between `LGraph` ↔ `Subgraph`, `LGraphNode` ↔ `LGraphCanvas`, or similar entity classes.
+- **Direct `graph._version++`** — Mutating the private version counter directly instead of through a public API. Extensions already depend on this side-channel; it must become a proper API.
+
+### Centralized Registries and ECS-Style Access
+
+All entity data access should move toward centralized query patterns, not instance property access.
+
+Flag:
+
+- **New instance method/property patterns** — Adding `node.someProperty` or `node.someMethod()` for data that should be a component in the World, queried via `world.getComponent(entityId, ComponentType)`.
+- **OOP inheritance for entity modeling** — Extending entity classes with new subclasses instead of composing behavior through components and systems.
+- **Scattered state** — New entity state stored in multiple locations (class properties, stores, local variables) instead of being consolidated in the World or in a single store.
+
+### Extension Ecosystem Impact
+
+Entity API changes affect 40+ custom node repos. Changes to these patterns require an extension migration path.
+
+Flag when changed without migration guidance:
+
+- `onConnectionsChange`, `onRemoved`, `onAdded`, `onConfigure` callbacks
+- `onConnectInput` / `onConnectOutput` validation hooks
+- `onWidgetChanged` handlers
+- `node.widgets.find(w => w.name === ...)` patterns
+- `node.serialize` overrides
+- `graph._version++` direct mutation
+- `getNodeById` usage patterns
+
+## Priority 2: General ADR Compliance
+
+For all other ADRs, iterate through each file in `docs/adr/` and extract the core lesson. Ensure changed code does not contradict accepted ADRs. Flag contradictions with proposed ADRs as directional guidance.
+
+### How to Apply
+
+1. Read `docs/adr/README.md` to get the full ADR index
+2. For each ADR, read the Decision and Consequences sections
+3. Check the diff against each ADR's constraints
+4. Only flag ACTUAL violations in changed code, not pre-existing patterns
+
+### Skip List
+
+These ADRs can be skipped for most reviews (they cover completed or narrow-scope decisions):
+
+- **ADR 0004** (Rejected — Fork PrimeVue) — only relevant if someone proposes forking PrimeVue again
+
+## How to Check
+
+1. Identify changed files in the entity/litegraph layer: `src/lib/litegraph/`, `src/ecs/`, `src/platform/`, entity-related stores
+2. For Priority 1 patterns, use targeted searches:
+
+   ```
+   # Direct position mutation
+   Grep: pattern="\.pos\s*=" path="src/lib/litegraph"
+   Grep: pattern="\.size\s*=" path="src/lib/litegraph"
+
+   # God object growth (new methods)
+   Grep: pattern="(class LGraphNode|class LGraphCanvas|class LGraph\b)" path="src/lib/litegraph"
+
+   # Version mutation
+   Grep: pattern="_version\+\+" path="src/lib/litegraph"
+
+   # Extension callback changes
+   Grep: pattern="on(ConnectionsChange|Removed|Added|Configure|ConnectInput|ConnectOutput|WidgetChanged)" path="src/lib/litegraph"
+   ```
+
+3. For Priority 2, read `docs/adr/` files and check for contradictions
+
+## Severity Guidelines
+
+| Issue                                                    | Severity |
+| -------------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
+| Imperative mutation API without command-pattern wrapper  | high     |
+| New god-object method on LGraphNode/LGraphCanvas/LGraph  | high     |
+| Breaking extension callback without migration path       | high     |
+| New circular entity dependency                           | high     |
+| Direct spatial mutation bypassing command pattern        | medium   |
+| Mixed data/behavior in component-like structures         | medium   |
+| New OOP inheritance pattern for entities                 | medium   |
+| Contradicts accepted ADR direction                       | medium   |
+| Contradicts proposed ADR direction without justification | low      |
+
+## Rules
+
+- Only flag ACTUAL violations in changed code, not pre-existing patterns
+- If a change explicitly acknowledges an ADR tradeoff in comments or PR description, lower severity
+- Proposed ADRs carry less weight than accepted ones — flag as directional guidance
+- Reference the specific ADR number in every finding

+# ADR Compliance Audit
+
+Audit the current changes (or a specified PR) for compliance with Architecture Decision Records.
+
+## Step 1: Gather the Diff
+
+- If a PR number is provided, run: `gh pr diff $PR_NUMBER`
+- Otherwise, run: `git diff origin/main...HEAD` (or `git diff --cached` for staged changes)
+
+## Step 2: Priority 1 — ECS and Command-Pattern Compliance
+
+Read these documents for context:

+```
+
+### Check A: Command Pattern (ADR 0003)
+
+Every entity state mutation must be a **serializable, idempotent, deterministic command** — replayable, undoable, transmittable over CRDT.

+3. **Void-returning mutation APIs** — Entity mutations returning `void` instead of `{ status: 'applied' | 'rejected' | 'no-op' }`
+4. **Auto-increment IDs** — New entity creation via counters without addressing CRDT collision. Concurrent environments need globally unique identifiers.
+5. **Missing transaction semantics** — Multi-entity operations without atomic grouping (e.g., node removal = 10+ deletes with no rollback on failure)
+
+### Check B: ECS Architecture (ADR 0008)

+3. **OOP instance patterns** — New `node.someProperty` or `node.someMethod()` for data that should be a World component
+4. **OOP inheritance** — New entity subclasses instead of component composition
+5. **Circular entity deps** — New `LGraph` ↔ `Subgraph`, `LGraphNode` ↔ `LGraphCanvas` circular imports
+6. **Direct `_version++`** — Mutating private version counter instead of through public API

+- `onConnectInput` / `onConnectOutput` validation hooks
+- `onWidgetChanged` handlers

+---
+
+# Adding Deprecation Warnings
+
+Adds backward-compatible deprecation warnings for renamed or removed
+properties using the `defineDeprecatedProperty` helper in
+`src/lib/litegraph/src/utils/feedback.ts`.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- A property or API has been renamed and custom nodes still use the old name
+- A property is being removed but needs a grace period
+- Backward compatibility must be preserved while nudging adoption
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Search the Custom Node Ecosystem
+
+Before implementing, assess impact by searching for usage of the
+deprecated property across ComfyUI custom nodes:
+
+```text
+Use the comfy_codesearch tool to search for the old property name.
+Search for both `widget.oldProp` and just `oldProp` to catch all patterns.
+```
+
+Document the usage patterns found (property access, truthiness checks,
+caching to local vars, style mutation, etc.) — these all must continue
+working.
+
+### 2. Apply the Deprecation
+
+Use `defineDeprecatedProperty` from `src/lib/litegraph/src/utils/feedback.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import { defineDeprecatedProperty } from '@/lib/litegraph/src/utils/feedback'
+
+/** @deprecated Use {@link obj.newProp} instead. */
+defineDeprecatedProperty(
+  obj,
+  'oldProp',
+  'newProp',
+  'obj.oldProp is deprecated. Use obj.newProp instead.'
+)
+```
+
+### 3. Checklist
+
+- [ ] Ecosystem search completed — all usage patterns are compatible
+- [ ] `defineDeprecatedProperty` call added after the new property is assigned
+- [ ] JSDoc `@deprecated` tag added above the call for IDE support
+- [ ] Warning message names both old and new property clearly
+- [ ] `pnpm typecheck` passes
+- [ ] `pnpm lint` passes
+
+### 4. PR Comment
+
+Add a PR comment summarizing the ecosystem search results: which repos
+use the deprecated property, what access patterns were found, and
+confirmation that all patterns are compatible with the ODP getter/setter.
+
+## How `defineDeprecatedProperty` Works
+
+- Creates an `Object.defineProperty` getter/setter on the target object
+- Getter returns `this[currentKey]`, setter assigns `this[currentKey]`
+- Both log via `warnDeprecated`, which deduplicates (once per unique
+  message per session via a `Set`)
+- `enumerable: false` keeps the alias out of `Object.keys()` / `for...in`
+  / `JSON.stringify`
+- `configurable: true` allows further redefinition if needed
+
+## Edge Cases
+
+- **Truthiness checks** (`if (widget.oldProp)`) — works, getter fires
+- **Caching to local var** (`const el = widget.oldProp`) — works, warns
+  once then the cached ref is used directly
+- **Style/property mutation** (`widget.oldProp.style.color = 'red'`) —
+  works, getter returns the real object
+- **Serialization** (`JSON.stringify`) — `enumerable: false` excludes it
+- **Heavy access in loops** — `warnDeprecated` deduplicates, only warns
+  once per session regardless of call count

+description: 'Detect DOM elements where CSS contain:layout+style would improve rendering performance. Runs a Playwright-based audit on a large workflow, scores candidates by subtree size and sizing constraints, measures performance impact, and generates a ranked report.'
+---
+
+# CSS Containment Audit
+
+Automatically finds DOM elements where adding `contain: layout style` would reduce browser recalculation overhead.
+
+## What It Does
+
+1. Loads a large workflow (245 nodes) in a real browser
+2. Walks the DOM tree and scores every element as a containment candidate
+3. For each high-scoring candidate, applies `contain: layout style` via JavaScript
+4. Measures rendering performance (style recalcs, layouts, task duration) before and after
+5. Takes before/after screenshots to detect visual breakage
+6. Generates a ranked report with actionable recommendations
+
+## When to Use
+
+- After adding new Vue components to the node rendering pipeline
+- When investigating rendering performance on large workflows
+- Before and after refactoring node DOM structure
+- As part of periodic performance audits
+
+## How to Run
+
+```bash
+# Start the dev server first
+pnpm dev &
+
+# Run the audit (uses the @audit tag, not included in normal CI runs)
+pnpm exec playwright test browser_tests/tests/containAudit.spec.ts --project=audit
+
+# View the HTML report
+pnpm exec playwright show-report
+```
+
+## How to Read Results
+
+The audit outputs a table to the console:
+
+```text
+CSS Containment Audit Results
+=======================================================
+Rank | Selector                        | Subtree | Score | DRecalcs | DLayouts | Visual
+  1  | [data-testid="node-inner-wrap"] |     18  |  72   |    -34%  |    -12%  |   OK
+  2  | .node-body                      |     12  |  48   |     -8%  |     -3%  |   OK
+  3  | .node-header                    |      4  |  16   |     +1%  |      0%  |   OK
+```
+
+- **Subtree**: Number of descendant elements (higher = more to skip)
+- **Score**: Composite heuristic score (subtree size x sizing constraint bonus)
+- **DRecalcs / DLayouts**: Change in style recalcs / layout counts vs baseline (negative = improvement)
+- **Visual**: OK if no pixel change, DIFF if screenshot differs (may include subpixel noise — verify manually)
+
+## Candidate Scoring
+
+An element is a good containment candidate when:
+
+1. **Large subtree** -- many descendants that the browser can skip recalculating
+2. **Externally constrained size** -- width/height determined by CSS variables, flex, or explicit values (not by content)
+3. **No existing containment** -- `contain` is not already applied
+4. **Not a leaf** -- has at least a few child elements
+
+Elements that should NOT get containment:
+
+- Elements whose children overflow visually beyond bounds (e.g., absolute-positioned overlays with negative inset)
+- Elements whose height is determined by content and affects sibling layout
+- Very small subtrees (overhead of containment context outweighs benefit)
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Cannot fully guarantee `contain` safety -- visual review of screenshots is required
+- Performance measurements have natural variance; run multiple times for confidence
+- Only tests idle and pan scenarios; widget interactions may differ
+- The audit modifies styles at runtime via JS, which doesn't account for Tailwind purging or build-time optimizations
+
+## Example PR
+
+[#9946 — fix: add CSS contain:layout contain:style to node inner wrapper](https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend/pull/9946)
+
+This PR added `contain-layout contain-style` to the node inner wrapper div in `LGraphNode.vue`. The audit tool would have flagged this element as a high-scoring candidate because:
+
+- **Large subtree** (18+ descendants: header, slots, widgets, content, badges)
+- **Externally constrained size** (`w-(--node-width)`, `flex-1` — dimensions set by CSS variables and flex parent)
+- **Natural isolation boundary** between frequently-changing content (widgets) and infrequently-changing overlays (selection outlines, borders)
+
+The actual change was a single line: adding `'contain-layout contain-style'` to the inner wrapper's class list at `src/renderer/extensions/vueNodes/components/LGraphNode.vue:79`.

+## Architecture Decision Records
+
+All architectural decisions are documented in `docs/adr/`. Code changes must be consistent with accepted ADRs. Proposed ADRs indicate design direction and should be treated as guidance. See `.agents/checks/adr-compliance.md` for automated validation rules.
+
+### Entity Architecture Constraints (ADR 0003 + ADR 0008)
+
+1. **Command pattern for all mutations**: Every entity state change must be a serializable, idempotent, deterministic command — replayable, undoable, and transmittable over CRDT. No imperative fire-and-forget mutation APIs. Systems produce command batches, not direct side effects.
+2. **Centralized registries and ECS-style access**: Entity data lives in the World (centralized registry), queried via `world.getComponent(entityId, ComponentType)`. Do not add new instance properties/methods to entity classes. Do not use OOP inheritance for entity modeling.
+3. **No god-object growth**: Do not add methods to `LGraphNode`, `LGraphCanvas`, `LGraph`, or `Subgraph`. Extract to systems, stores, or composables.
+4. **Plain data components**: ECS components are plain data objects — no methods, no back-references to parent entities. Behavior belongs in systems (pure functions).
+5. **Extension ecosystem impact**: Changes to entity callbacks (`onConnectionsChange`, `onRemoved`, `onAdded`, `onConnectInput/Output`, `onConfigure`, `onWidgetChanged`), `node.widgets` access, `node.serialize`, or `graph._version++` affect 40+ custom node repos and require migration guidance.

+# General Guidelines for working with Nx
+
+- For navigating/exploring the workspace, invoke the `nx-workspace` skill first - it has patterns for querying projects, targets, and dependencies
+- When running tasks (for example build, lint, test, e2e, etc.), always prefer running the task through `nx` (i.e. `nx run`, `nx run-many`, `nx affected`) instead of using the underlying tooling directly
+- Prefix nx commands with the workspace's package manager (e.g., `pnpm nx build`, `npm exec nx test`) - avoids using globally installed CLI
+- You have access to the Nx MCP server and its tools, use them to help the user
+- For Nx plugin best practices, check `node_modules/@nx/<plugin>/PLUGIN.md`. Not all plugins have this file - proceed without it if unavailable.
+- NEVER guess CLI flags - always check nx_docs or `--help` first when unsure
+
+## Scaffolding & Generators
+
+- For scaffolding tasks (creating apps, libs, project structure, setup), ALWAYS invoke the `nx-generate` skill FIRST before exploring or calling MCP tools
+
+## When to use nx_docs
+
+- USE for: advanced config options, unfamiliar flags, migration guides, plugin configuration, edge cases
+- DON'T USE for: basic generator syntax (`nx g @nx/react:app`), standard commands, things you already know
+- The `nx-generate` skill handles generator discovery internally - don't call nx_docs just to look up generator syntax
+
+<!-- nx configuration end-->

+## Polling Assertions
+
+Prefer `expect.poll()` over `expect(async () => { ... }).toPass()` when the block contains a single async call with a single assertion. `expect.poll()` is more readable and gives better error messages (shows actual vs expected on failure).
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Correct — single async call + single assertion
+await expect
+  .poll(() => comfyPage.nodeOps.getGraphNodesCount(), { timeout: 250 })
+  .toBe(0)
+
+// ❌ Avoid — nested expect inside toPass
+await expect(async () => {
+  expect(await comfyPage.nodeOps.getGraphNodesCount()).toBe(0)
+}).toPass({ timeout: 250 })
+```
+
+Reserve `toPass()` for blocks with multiple assertions or complex async logic that can't be expressed as a single polled value.
+

+# 8. Entity Component System
+
+Date: 2026-03-23
+
+## Status
+
+Proposed
+
+## Context
+
+The litegraph layer is built on deeply coupled OOP classes (`LGraphNode`, `LLink`, `Subgraph`, `BaseWidget`, `Reroute`, `LGraphGroup`, `SlotBase`). Each entity directly references its container and children — nodes hold widget arrays, widgets back-reference their node, links reference origin/target node IDs, subgraphs extend the graph class, and so on.
+
+This coupling makes it difficult to:
+
+- Add cross-cutting concerns (undo/redo, serialization, multiplayer CRDT sync, rendering optimization) without modifying every class
+- Test individual aspects of an entity in isolation
+- Evolve rendering, serialization, and execution logic independently
+- Implement the CRDT-based layout system proposed in [ADR 0003](0003-crdt-based-layout-system.md)
+
+An Entity Component System (ECS) separates **identity** (entities), **data** (components), and **behavior** (systems), enabling each concern to evolve independently.
+
+### Current pain points
+
+- **God objects**: `LGraphNode` (~2000+ lines) mixes position, rendering, connectivity, execution, serialization, and input handling
+- **Circular dependencies**: `LGraph` ↔ `Subgraph`, `LGraphNode` ↔ `LGraphCanvas`, requiring careful import ordering and barrel exports
+- **Tight rendering coupling**: Visual properties (color, position, bounding rect) are interleaved with domain logic (execution order, slot types)
+- **No unified entity model**: Each entity kind uses different ID types, ownership patterns, and lifecycle management
+
+## Decision
+
+Adopt an Entity Component System architecture for the graph domain model. This ADR defines the entity taxonomy, ID strategy, and component decomposition. Implementation will be incremental — existing classes remain untouched initially and will be migrated piecewise.
+
+### Entity Taxonomy
+
+Six entity kinds, each with a branded ID type:
+
+| Entity Kind | Current Class(es)                                 | Current ID                  | Branded ID        |
+| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- | ----------------- |
+| Node        | `LGraphNode`                                      | `NodeId = number \| string` | `NodeEntityId`    |
+| Link        | `LLink`                                           | `LinkId = number`           | `LinkEntityId`    |
+| Widget      | `BaseWidget` subclasses (25+)                     | name + parent node          | `WidgetEntityId`  |
+| Slot        | `SlotBase` / `INodeInputSlot` / `INodeOutputSlot` | index on parent node        | `SlotEntityId`    |
+| Reroute     | `Reroute`                                         | `RerouteId = number`        | `RerouteEntityId` |
+| Group       | `LGraphGroup`                                     | `number`                    | `GroupEntityId`   |
+
+Subgraphs are not a separate entity kind. A subgraph is a node with a `SubgraphStructure` component. See [Subgraph Boundaries and Widget Promotion](../architecture/subgraph-boundaries-and-promotion.md) for the full design rationale.
+
+### Branded ID Design
+
+Each entity kind gets a nominal/branded type wrapping its underlying primitive. The brand prevents accidental cross-kind usage at compile time while remaining structurally compatible with existing ID types:
+
+```ts
+type NodeEntityId = number & { readonly __brand: 'NodeEntityId' }
+type LinkEntityId = number & { readonly __brand: 'LinkEntityId' }
+type WidgetEntityId = number & { readonly __brand: 'WidgetEntityId' }
+type SlotEntityId = number & { readonly __brand: 'SlotEntityId' }
+type RerouteEntityId = number & { readonly __brand: 'RerouteEntityId' }
+type GroupEntityId = number & { readonly __brand: 'GroupEntityId' }
+
+// Scope identifier, not an entity ID
+type GraphId = string & { readonly __brand: 'GraphId' }
+```
+
+Widgets and Slots currently lack independent IDs. The ECS will assign synthetic IDs at entity creation time via an auto-incrementing counter (matching the pattern used by `lastNodeId`, `lastLinkId`, etc. in `LGraphState`).
+
+### Component Decomposition
+
+Components are plain data objects — no methods, no back-references to parent entities. Systems query components to implement behavior.
+
+#### Shared Components
+
+- **Position** — `{ pos: Point }` — used by Node, Reroute, Group
+- **Dimensions** — `{ size: Size, bounding: Rectangle }` — used by Node, Group
+- **Visual** — rendering properties specific to each entity kind (separate interfaces, shared naming convention)
+
+#### Node
+
+| Component         | Data (from `LGraphNode`)                            |
+| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
+| `Position`        | `pos`                                               |
+| `Dimensions`      | `size`, `_bounding`                                 |
+| `NodeVisual`      | `color`, `bgcolor`, `boxcolor`, `title`             |
+| `NodeType`        | `type`, `category`, `nodeData`, `description`       |
+| `Connectivity`    | slot entity refs (replaces `inputs[]`, `outputs[]`) |
+| `Execution`       | `order`, `mode`, `flags`                            |
+| `Properties`      | `properties`, `properties_info`                     |

+
+#### Link
+
+| Component       | Data (from `LLink`)                                            |

+
+#### Subgraph (Node Components)
+
+A node carrying a subgraph gains these additional components. Subgraphs are not a separate entity kind — see [Subgraph Boundaries](../architecture/subgraph-boundaries-and-promotion.md).
+
+| Component           | Data                                                                     |
+| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `SubgraphStructure` | `graphId`, typed interface (input/output names, types, slot entity refs) |
+| `SubgraphMeta`      | `name`, `description`                                                    |
+
+#### Widget
+
+| Component        | Data (from `BaseWidget`)                                    |
+| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `WidgetIdentity` | `name`, `type` (widget type string), parent node entity ref |
+| `WidgetValue`    | `value`, `options`, `serialize` flags                       |
+| `WidgetLayout`   | `computedHeight`, layout size constraints                   |
+
+#### Slot
+
+| Component        | Data (from `SlotBase` / `INodeInputSlot` / `INodeOutputSlot`)                       |
+| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `SlotIdentity`   | `name`, `type` (slot type), direction (`input` or `output`), parent node ref, index |
+| `SlotConnection` | `link` (input) or `links[]` (output), `widget` locator                              |
+| `SlotVisual`     | `pos`, `boundingRect`, `color_on`, `color_off`, `shape`                             |
+
+#### Reroute
+
+| Component       | Data (from `Reroute`)             |
+| --------------- | --------------------------------- |
+| `Position`      | `pos` (shared)                    |
+| `RerouteLinks`  | `parentId`, input/output link IDs |
+| `RerouteVisual` | `color`, badge config             |
+
+#### Group
+
+| Component       | Data (from `LGraphGroup`)           |
+| --------------- | ----------------------------------- |
+| `Position`      | `pos` (shared)                      |
+| `Dimensions`    | `size`, `bounding`                  |
+| `GroupMeta`     | `title`, `font`, `font_size`        |
+| `GroupVisual`   | `color`                             |
+| `GroupChildren` | child entity refs (nodes, reroutes) |
+
+### World
+
+A central registry (the "World") maps entity IDs to their component sets. One
+World exists per workflow instance, containing all entities across all nesting
+levels. Each entity carries a `graphScope` identifier linking it to its
+containing graph. The World also maintains a scope registry mapping each
+`graphId` to its parent (or null for the root graph).
+
+The "single source of truth" claim in this ADR is scoped to one workflow
+instance. In a future linked-subgraph model, shared definitions can be loaded
+into multiple workflow instances, but mutable runtime components
+(`WidgetValue`, execution state, selection, transient layout caches) remain
+instance-scoped unless explicitly declared shareable.
+
+### Subgraph recursion model
+
+The ECS model preserves recursive nesting without inheritance. A subgraph node
+stores `SubgraphStructure.childGraphId`, and the scope registry stores
+`childGraphId -> parentGraphId`. This forms a DAG that can represent arbitrary
+subgraph depth.
+
+Queries such as "all nodes at depth N" run by traversing the scope registry
+from the root, materializing graph IDs at depth `N`, and then filtering entity
+queries by `graphScope`.
+
+### Systems (future work)
+
+Systems are pure functions that query the World for entities with specific component combinations. Initial candidates:
+
+- **RenderSystem** — queries `Position` + `Dimensions` (where present) + `*Visual` components
+- **SerializationSystem** — queries all components to produce/consume workflow JSON
+- **ExecutionSystem** — queries `Execution` + `Connectivity` to determine run order
+- **LayoutSystem** — queries `Position` + `Dimensions` + structural components for auto-layout
+- **SelectionSystem** — queries `Position` for point entities and `Position` + `Dimensions` for box hit-testing
+
+System design is deferred to a future ADR.
+
+### Migration Strategy
+
+1. **Define types** — branded IDs, component interfaces, World type in a new `src/ecs/` directory
+2. **Bridge layer** — adapter functions that read ECS components from existing class instances (zero-copy where possible)
+3. **New features first** — any new cross-cutting feature (e.g., CRDT sync) builds on ECS components rather than class properties
+4. **Incremental extraction** — migrate one component at a time from classes to the World, using the bridge layer for backward compatibility
+5. **Deprecate class properties** — once all consumers read from the World, mark class properties as deprecated
+
+### Relationship to ADR 0003 (Command Pattern / CRDT)
+
+[ADR 0003](0003-crdt-based-layout-system.md) establishes that all mutations flow through serializable, idempotent commands. This ADR (0008) defines the entity data model and the World store. They are complementary architectural layers:
+
+- **Commands** (ADR 0003) describe mutation intent — serializable objects that can be logged, replayed, sent over a wire, or undone.
+- **Systems** (ADR 0008) are command handlers — they validate and execute mutations against the World.
+- **The World** (ADR 0008) is the store — it holds component data. It does not know about commands.
+
+The World's imperative API (`setComponent`, `deleteEntity`, etc.) is internal. External callers submit commands; the command executor wraps each in a World transaction. This is analogous to Redux: the store's internal mutation is imperative, but the public API is action-based.
+
+For the full design showing how each lifecycle scenario maps to a command, see [World API and Command Layer](../architecture/ecs-world-command-api.md).
+
+### Alternatives Considered
+
+- **Refactoring classes in place**: Lower initial cost, but doesn't solve the cross-cutting concern problem. Each new feature still requires modifying multiple god objects.
+- **Full rewrite**: Higher risk, blocks feature work during migration. The incremental approach avoids this.
+- **Using an existing ECS library** (e.g., bitecs, miniplex): Adds a dependency for a domain that is specific to this project. The graph domain's component shapes don't align well with the dense numeric arrays favored by game-oriented ECS libraries. A lightweight, purpose-built approach is preferred.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- Cross-cutting concerns (undo/redo, CRDT sync, serialization) can be implemented as systems without modifying entity classes
+- Components are independently testable — no need to construct an entire `LGraphNode` to test position logic
+- Branded IDs prevent a class of bugs where IDs are accidentally used across entity kinds
+- The World provides a single source of truth for runtime entity state inside a workflow instance, simplifying debugging and state inspection
+- Aligns with the CRDT layout system direction from ADR 0003
+
+### Negative
+
+- Additional indirection: reading a node's position requires a World lookup instead of `node.pos`
+- Learning curve for contributors unfamiliar with ECS patterns
+- Migration period where both OOP and ECS patterns coexist, increasing cognitive load
+- Widgets and Slots need synthetic IDs, adding ID management complexity
+
+### Render-Loop Performance Implications and Mitigations
+
+Replacing direct property reads (`node.pos`) with component lookups (`world.getComponent(nodeId, Position)`) does add per-read overhead in the hot render path. In modern JS engines, hot `Map.get()` paths are heavily optimized and are often within a low constant factor of object property reads, but this ADR treats render-loop cost as a first-class risk rather than assuming it is free.
+
+Planned mitigations for the ECS render path:
+
+1. Pre-collect render queries into frame-stable caches (`visibleNodeIds`, `visibleLinkIds`, and resolved component references) and rebuild only on topology/layout dirty signals, not on every draw call.
+2. Keep archetype-style buckets for common render signatures (for example: `Node = Position+Dimensions+NodeVisual`, `Reroute = Position+RerouteVisual`) so systems iterate arrays instead of probing unrelated entities.
+3. Allow a hot-path storage upgrade behind the World API (for example, SoA-style typed arrays for `Position` and `Dimensions`) if profiling shows `Map.get()` dominates frame time.
+4. Gate migration of each render concern with profiling parity checks against the legacy path (same workflow, same viewport, same frame budget).
+5. Treat parity as a release gate: ECS render path must stay within agreed frame-time budgets (for example, no statistically significant regression in p95 frame time on representative 200-node and 500-node workflows).
+
+The design goal is to preserve ECS modularity while keeping render throughput within existing frame-time budgets.
+
+## Notes
+
+- The 25+ widget types (`BooleanWidget`, `NumberWidget`, `ComboWidget`, etc.) will share the same ECS component schema. Widget-type-specific behavior lives in systems, not in component data.
+- Subgraphs are not a separate entity kind. A `GraphId` scope identifier (branded `string`) tracks which graph an entity belongs to. The scope DAG must be acyclic — see [Subgraph Boundaries](../architecture/subgraph-boundaries-and-promotion.md).
+- The existing `LGraphState.lastNodeId` / `lastLinkId` / `lastRerouteId` counters extend naturally to `lastWidgetId` and `lastSlotId`.
+- The internal ECS model and the serialization format are deliberately separate concerns. The `SerializationSystem` translates between the flat World and the nested serialization format. Backward-compatible loading of all prior workflow formats is a hard, indefinite constraint.

+# Appendix: A Critical Analysis of the Architecture Documents
+
+_In which we examine the shadow material of a codebase in individuation, verify its self-reported symptoms, and note where the ego's aspirations outpace the psyche's readiness for transformation._
+
+---
+
+## I. On the Accuracy of Self-Diagnosis
+
+Verification snapshot: code references were checked against commit
+`e51982ee1`.
+
+The architecture documents present themselves as a clinical intake — a patient arriving with a detailed account of its own suffering. One is naturally suspicious of such thoroughness; the neurotic who describes his symptoms too precisely is often defending against a deeper, unnamed wound. And yet, upon examination, we find the self-report to be remarkably honest.
+
+The god-objects are as large as claimed. `LGraphCanvas` contains 9,094 lines — the ego of the system, attempting to mediate between the inner world of data and the outer world of the user, and collapsing under the weight of that mediation. `LGraphNode` at 4,285 lines and `LGraph` at 3,114 confirm that these are not exaggerations born of self-pity but accurate measurements of genuine hypertrophy.
+
+Some thirty specific line references were verified against the living code. The `renderingColor` getter sits precisely at line 328. The `drawNode()` method begins exactly at line 5554, and within it, at lines 5562 and 5564, the render pass mutates state — `_setConcreteSlots()` and `arrange()` — just as the documents confess. The scattered `_version++` increments appear at every claimed location across all three files. The module-scope store invocations in `LLink.ts:24` and `Reroute.ts:23` are exactly where indicated.
+
+The stores — all six of them — exist at their stated paths with their described APIs. The `WidgetValueStore` does indeed hold plain `WidgetState` objects. The `PromotionStore` does maintain its ref-counted maps. The `LayoutStore` does wrap Y.js CRDTs.
+
+This level of factual accuracy — 28 out of 30 sampled citation checks
+(93.3%) — is, one might say, the work of a consciousness that has genuinely
+confronted its shadow material rather than merely projecting it.
+
+## II. On the Errors: Small Falsifications of Memory
+
+No self-report is without its distortions. The unconscious edits memory, not out of malice, but because the psyche organizes experience around meaning rather than fact.
+
+Five such distortions were identified:
+
+**The Misnamed Method.** The documents claim `toJSON()` exists at `LGraphNode.ts:1033`. In truth, line 1033 holds `toString()`. This is a telling substitution — the psyche conflates the act of converting oneself to a string representation (how one _appears_) with the act of serializing oneself for transmission (how one _persists_). These are different operations, but the patient experiences them as the same anxiety.
+
+**The Renamed Function.** `execute()` is cited at line 1418. The actual method is `doExecute()` at line 1411. The prefix "do" carries weight — it is the difference between the intention and the act, between the persona and the behavior. The documents elide this distinction, preferring the cleaner, more archetypal name.
+
+**The Understated Magnitude.** The documents claim `LGraphNode` has ~539 method/property definitions. A systematic count yields approximately 848. The psyche has minimized the extent of the fragmentation — a common defense. One does not wish to know the full measure of one's own complexity.
+
+**The Compressed History.** `LGraph.configure()` is described as ~180 lines. It spans approximately 247. The method has grown since it was last measured, as living things do, but the documents preserve an earlier, smaller self-image. Time has passed; the patient has not updated its intake form.
+
+**The Phantom Method.** The proto-ECS analysis references `resolveDeepest()` on the `PromotedWidgetViewManager`. This method does not exist. The class uses `reconcile()` and `getOrCreate()` — less evocative names for what is, symbolically, the same operation: reaching through layers of abstraction to find the authentic, concrete thing beneath. The documents have invented a name that better captures the _meaning_ of the operation than the names the code actually uses. This is poetry, not documentation.
+
+These errors are minor in isolation. Collectively, they suggest a pattern familiar to the analyst: the documents describe the system not quite as it _is_, but as it _understands itself to be_. The gap between these is small — but it is precisely in such gaps that the interesting material lives.
+
+## III. On the Dream of the World: The ECS Target as Individuation Fantasy
+
+The target architecture documents read as a vision of wholeness. Where the current system is fragmented — god-objects carrying too many responsibilities, circular dependencies binding parent to child in mutual entanglement, scattered side effects erupting unpredictably — the ECS future promises integration. A single World. Pure systems. Branded identities. Unidirectional flow.
+
+This is the individuation dream: the fragmented psyche imagines itself unified, each complex (component) named and contained, each archetypal function (system) operating in its proper domain, the Self (World) holding all of it in coherent relation.
+
+It is a beautiful vision. It is also, in several respects, a fantasy that has not yet been tested against reality.
+
+### The Line-Count Comparisons
+
+The lifecycle scenarios compare current implementations against projected ECS equivalents:
+
+| Operation     | Current    | Projected ECS |
+| ------------- | ---------- | ------------- |
+| Node removal  | ~107 lines | ~30 lines     |
+| Pack subgraph | ~200 lines | ~50 lines     |
+| Copy/paste    | ~300 lines | ~60 lines     |
+
+These ratios — roughly 4:1 — are the ratios of a daydream. They may prove accurate. But they are estimates for code that does not yet exist, and the unconscious is generous with its projections of future ease. Real implementations accumulate weight as they encounter the particularities that theory elides: validation callbacks, error recovery, extension hooks, the sheer cussedness of edge cases that only reveal themselves in production.
+
+The documents would benefit from acknowledging this uncertainty explicitly. "We expect" is more honest than "it will be."
+
+### The Vanishing Callbacks
+
+The current system maintains an elaborate network of lifecycle callbacks: `onConnectInput()`, `onConnectOutput()`, `onConnectionsChange()`, `onRemoved()`, `onAdded()`. These are the system's relationships — its contracts with the extensions that depend upon it.
+
+The ECS scenarios show these callbacks disappearing. "No callbacks — systems query World after deserialization." This is presented as simplification, and structurally it is. But psychologically, it is the most dangerous moment in any transformation: the point at which the individuating self believes it can shed its relationships without consequence.
+
+Extensions rely on these callbacks. They are the public API through which the outer world interacts with the system's inner life. The documents do not discuss how this API would be preserved, adapted, or replaced. This is not a minor omission — it is the repression of the system's most anxiety-producing constraint.
+
+### The Atomicity Wish
+
+The ECS scenarios describe operations as "atomic" — pack subgraph, unpack subgraph, node removal, all happening as unified state transitions with no intermediate inconsistency.
+
+This is the wish for a moment of transformation without vulnerability. In reality, unless the World implements transactional semantics, a failure mid-operation would leave the same inconsistent state the current system risks. The existing `beforeChange()`/`afterChange()` pattern, for all its scattered invocations, at least provides undo snapshots. The documents do not discuss what replaces this guarantee.
+
+The desire for atomicity is healthy. The assumption that it comes free with the architecture is not.
+
+### The CRDT Question
+
+The `LayoutStore` is correctly identified as "the most architecturally advanced extraction." It wraps Y.js CRDTs — a technology chosen for collaborative editing, as noted in ADR 0003.
+
+But the documents do not address the tension between Y.js and a pure ECS World. Would the World contain Y.js documents? Would it replace them? Would the Position component be a CRDT, a plain object, or a proxy that reads from one? This is not an implementation detail — it is a fundamental architectural question about whether the system's two most sophisticated subsystems (collaboration and ECS) can coexist or must be reconciled.
+
+The silence on this point is the silence of a psyche that has not yet confronted a genuine dilemma.
+
+## IV. On the Keying Strategies: Identity and Its Discontents
+
+The proto-ECS analysis catalogs five different keying strategies across five stores and presents this multiplicity as pathological. There is truth in this — the absence of a unified identity system does create real confusion and real bugs.
+
+But one must be careful not to mistake diversity for disorder. Some of these composite keys — `"${nodeId}:${widgetName}"`, for instance — reflect a genuine structural reality: a widget is identified by its relationship to a node and its name within that node. A branded `WidgetEntityId` would replace this composite key with a synthetic integer, gaining cross-kind safety but losing the self-documenting quality of the composite.
+
+The documents present branded IDs as an unqualified improvement. They are an improvement in _type safety_. Whether they are an improvement in _comprehensibility_ depends on whether the system provides good lookup APIs. The analysis would benefit from acknowledging this tradeoff rather than presenting it as a pure gain.
+
+## V. On the Subgraph: The Child Who Contains the Parent
+
+The documents describe the `Subgraph extends LGraph` relationship as a circular dependency. This is technically accurate and architecturally concerning. But it is also, symbolically, the most interesting structure in the entire system.
+
+A Subgraph is a Graph that lives inside a Node that lives inside a Graph. It is the child that contains the parent's structure — the recursive self-reference that gives the system its power and its pathology simultaneously. The barrel export comment at `litegraph.ts:15` is a symptom, yes, but it is also an honest acknowledgment of a genuine structural paradox.
+
+The ECS target resolves this by flattening: "Entities are just IDs. No inheritance hierarchy." This is a valid architectural choice. But it is worth noting that the current circular structure _accurately models the domain_. A subgraph _is_ a graph. The inheritance relationship is not arbitrary — it reflects a real isomorphism.
+
+The ECS approach replaces structural modeling with data modeling. This eliminates the circular dependency but requires the system to reconstruct the "a subgraph is a graph" relationship through component composition rather than inheritance. The documents assume this is straightforward. It may not be — the recursive case (subgraphs containing subgraphs) will test whether flat entity composition can express what hierarchical inheritance expresses naturally.
+
+## VI. On the Migration Bridge: The Transitional Object
+
+The migration bridge described in the target architecture is perhaps the most psychologically astute element of the entire proposal. It acknowledges that transformation cannot happen all at once — that the old structures must coexist with the new until the new have proven themselves capable of bearing the load.
+
+The three-phase sequence (bridge reads from class and writes to World; new features build on World directly; bridge removed) is the sequence of every successful therapeutic process: first, the new understanding runs alongside the old patterns; then, new behavior begins to emerge from the new understanding; finally, the old patterns are released because they are no longer needed, not because they have been forcibly suppressed.
+
+This is sound. The documents would benefit from being equally realistic about the _duration_ of the bridge phase. In a system with this many extensions, this much surface area, and this much organic complexity, the bridge may persist for a very long time. This is not failure — it is the natural pace of genuine transformation.
+
+## VII. Summary of Findings
+
+### Factual Corrections Required
+
+| Document              | Error                              | Correction                         |
+| --------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
+| `entity-problems.md`  | `toJSON() (line 1033)`             | `toString() (line 1033)`           |
+| `entity-problems.md`  | `execute() (line 1418)`            | `doExecute() (line 1411)`          |
+| `entity-problems.md`  | `~539 method/property definitions` | ~848; methodology should be stated |
+| `entity-problems.md`  | `configure()` ~180 lines           | ~247 lines                         |
+| `proto-ecs-stores.md` | `resolveDeepest()` in diagram      | `reconcile()` / `getOrCreate()`    |
+
+### Analytical Gaps
+
+1. **Extension API continuity** is the largest unaddressed risk in the migration.
+2. **Atomicity guarantees** are claimed but not mechanically specified.
+3. **Y.js / ECS coexistence** is an open architectural question the documents do not engage.
+4. **ECS line-count projections** are aspirational and should be marked as estimates.
+5. **Composite key tradeoffs** deserve more nuance than "branded IDs fix everything."
+
+### What the Documents Do Well
+
+The problem diagnosis is grounded, specific, and verified. The proto-ECS analysis correctly identifies organic convergence toward ECS patterns. The lifecycle scenarios effectively communicate the structural simplification that ECS enables. The change-tracker document is accurate and immediately useful.
+
+These are the documents of a system that has looked at itself honestly — which is, as any analyst will tell you, the necessary precondition for change.

+# ECS Lifecycle Scenarios
+
+This document walks through the major entity lifecycle operations — showing the current imperative implementation and how each transforms under the ECS architecture from [ADR 0008](../adr/0008-entity-component-system.md).
+
+Each scenario follows the same structure: **Current Flow** (what happens today), **ECS Flow** (what it looks like with the World), and a **Key Differences** table.
+
+## 1. Node Removal
+
+### Current Flow
+
+`LGraph.remove(node)` — 107 lines, touches 6+ entity types and 4+ external systems:
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram

+    participant G as LGraph
+    participant N as LGraphNode
+    participant L as LLink

+    participant LS as LayoutStore
+
+    Caller->>G: remove(node)
+    G->>G: beforeChange() [undo checkpoint]
+
+    loop each input slot

+        N->>LS: layoutMutations.removeLink()
+        N->>G: _version++
+    end
+
+    loop each output slot
+        G->>N: disconnectOutput(i)
+        Note over N,R: same cascade as above
+    end
+
+    G->>G: scan floatingLinks for node refs

+    G->>N: node.onRemoved?.()
+    G->>N: node.graph = null

+
+    loop each canvas
+        G->>C: deselect(node)

+    end
+
+    G->>G: splice from _nodes[], delete from _nodes_by_id
+    G->>G: onNodeRemoved?.(node)
+    G->>C: setDirtyCanvas(true, true)
+    G->>G: afterChange() [undo checkpoint]
+    G->>G: updateExecutionOrder()
+```
+
+Problems: the graph method manually disconnects every slot, cleans up reroutes, scans floating links, checks subgraph references, notifies canvases, and recomputes execution order — all in one method that knows about every entity type.

+## 2. Serialization
+
+### Current Flow
+
+`LGraph.serialize()` → `asSerialisable()` — walks every collection manually:

+        SG-->>G: ExportedSubgraph
+    end
+
+    G-->>Caller: ISerialisedGraph
+```
+
+Problems: serialization logic lives in 6 different `serialize()` methods across 6 classes. Widget values are collected inline during node serialization. The graph walks its own collections — no separation of "what to serialize" from "how to serialize."
+
+### ECS Flow
+
+```mermaid

+| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| Serialization logic    | Spread across 6 classes (`serialize()` on each) | Single SerializationSystem                     |
+| Widget values          | Collected inline during `node.serialize()`      | WidgetValue component queried directly         |
+| Subgraph recursion     | `asSerialisable()` recursively calls itself     | Flat query — SubgraphStructure has entity refs |
+| Adding a new component | Modify the entity's `serialize()` method        | Add component to query in SerializationSystem  |
+| Testing                | Need full object graph to test serialization    | Mock World with test components                |
+
+## 3. Deserialization
+
+### Current Flow
+
+`LGraph.configure(data)` — ~180 lines, two-phase node creation:
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant Caller
+    participant G as LGraph
+    participant N as LGraphNode

+    rect rgb(60, 40, 40)
+        Note over G,N: Phase 1: Create nodes (unlinked)
+        loop each serialized node
+            G->>N: LiteGraph.createNode(type)
+            G->>G: graph.add(node) [assigns ID]
+        end
+    end
+
+    rect rgb(40, 60, 40)
+        Note over G,N: Phase 2: Configure nodes (links now resolvable)
+        loop each node
+            G->>N: node.configure(nodeData)
+            N->>N: create slots, restore properties
+            N->>N: resolve links from graph._links
+            N->>N: restore widget values
+            N->>WVS: widget.setNodeId() → register in store
+            N->>N: fire onConnectionsChange per linked slot
+        end
+    end
+
+    G->>G: add floating links

+
+    loop each serialized group
+        G->>G: create + configure group
+    end
+
+    G->>G: updateExecutionOrder()
+```
+
+Problems: two-phase creation is necessary because nodes need to reference each other's links during configure. Widget value restoration happens deep inside `node.configure()`. Store population is a side effect of configuration. Subgraph creation requires topological sorting to handle nested subgraphs.

+| Widget restoration | Hidden inside `node.configure()` line ~900                                 | Explicit: WidgetValue component written directly             |
+| Store population   | Side effect of `widget.setNodeId()`                                        | World IS the store — writing component IS population         |
+| Callback cascade   | `onConnectionsChange`, `onInputAdded`, `onConfigure` fire during configure | No callbacks — systems query World after deserialization     |
+| Subgraph ordering  | Topological sort required                                                  | Flat write — SubgraphStructure just holds entity IDs         |
+| Error handling     | Failed node → placeholder with `has_errors=true`                           | Failed entity → skip; components that loaded are still valid |

+
+Problems: 200+ lines in one method. Manual boundary link analysis. Clone-serialize-configure dance. Disconnect-remove-recreate-reconnect sequence with many intermediate states where the graph is inconsistent.

+## 5. Unpack Subgraph
+
+### Current Flow

+```
+
+Problems: ID remapping is complex and error-prone. Magic IDs (SUBGRAPH_INPUT_ID = -10, SUBGRAPH_OUTPUT_ID = -20) require special-case handling. Boundary link resolution requires looking up the SubgraphNode's slots to find external connections.

+| Aspect            | Current                                             | ECS                                                             |
+| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| ID remapping      | `nodeIdMap[oldId] = newId` for every node and link  | No remapping — entities keep their IDs, only graphScope changes |
+| Magic IDs         | SUBGRAPH_INPUT_ID = -10, SUBGRAPH_OUTPUT_ID = -20   | No magic IDs — boundary modeled as slot entities                |
+| Clone vs move     | Clone nodes, assign new IDs, configure from scratch | Move entity references between scopes                           |
+| Link reconnection | Remap origin_id/target_id, create new LLink objects | Update LinkEndpoints component in place                         |
+| Complexity        | ~200 lines with deduplication and reroute remapping | ~40 lines, no remapping needed                                  |
+
+## 6. Connect Slots
+
+### Current Flow
+
+`LGraphNode.connectSlots()` — creates link, updates both endpoints, handles reroutes:
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant Caller
+    participant N1 as SourceNode
+    participant N2 as TargetNode
+    participant G as LGraph
+    participant L as LLink
+    participant R as Reroute
+    participant LS as LayoutStore
+
+    Caller->>N1: connectSlots(output, targetNode, input)
+
+    N1->>N1: validate slot types
+    N1->>N2: onConnectInput?() → can reject
+    N1->>N1: onConnectOutput?() → can reject
+
+    opt input already connected
+        N1->>N2: disconnectInput(inputIndex)
+    end
+
+    N1->>L: new LLink(++lastLinkId, type, ...)
+    N1->>G: _links.set(link.id, link)
+    N1->>LS: layoutMutations.createLink()
+
+    N1->>N1: output.links.push(link.id)
+    N1->>N2: input.link = link.id
+
+    loop each reroute in path
+        N1->>R: reroute.linkIds.add(link.id)
+    end
+
+    N1->>G: _version++
+    N1->>N1: onConnectionsChange?(OUTPUT, ...)
+    N1->>N2: onConnectionsChange?(INPUT, ...)
+    N1->>G: setDirtyCanvas()
+    N1->>G: afterChange()
+```
+
+Problems: the source node orchestrates everything — it reaches into the graph's link map, the target node's slot, the layout store, the reroute chain, and the version counter. 19 steps in one method.

+| Aspect           | Current                                                      | ECS                                                           |
+| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Orchestrator     | Source node (reaches into graph, target, reroutes)           | ConnectivitySystem (queries World)                            |
+| Side effects     | `_version++`, `setDirtyCanvas()`, `afterChange()`, callbacks | `markChanged()` — one call                                    |
+| Reroute handling | Manual: iterate chain, add linkId to each                    | RerouteLinks component updated by system                      |
+| Slot mutation    | Direct: `output.links.push()`, `input.link = id`             | Component update: `setComponent(slotId, SlotConnection, ...)` |
+| Validation       | `onConnectInput`/`onConnectOutput` callbacks on nodes        | Validation system or guard function                           |
+
+## 7. Copy / Paste
+
+### Current Flow
+
+Copy: serialize selected items → clipboard. Paste: deserialize with new IDs.
+
+```mermaid

+
+    rect rgb(40, 40, 60)
+        Note over User,CB: Copy
+        User->>C: Ctrl+C
+        C->>C: _serializeItems(selectedItems)
+        loop each selected node
+            C->>N: node.clone().serialize()
+            C->>C: collect input links
+        end
+        C->>C: collect groups, reroutes
+        C->>C: recursively collect subgraph definitions
+        C->>CB: localStorage.setItem(JSON.stringify(data))
+    end
+
+    rect rgb(40, 60, 40)
+        Note over User,CB: Paste
+        User->>C: Ctrl+V
+        C->>CB: localStorage.getItem()
+        C->>C: _deserializeItems(parsed)
+
+        C->>C: remap subgraph IDs (new UUIDs)
+        C->>C: deduplicateSubgraphNodeIds()
+        C->>G: beforeChange()
+
+        loop each subgraph
+            C->>G: createSubgraph(data)
+        end
+        loop each node (id=-1 forces new ID)
+            C->>G: graph.add(node)
+            C->>N: node.configure(info)
+        end
+        loop each reroute
+            C->>G: setReroute(data)
+            C->>C: remap parentIds
+        end
+        loop each link
+            C->>N: outNode.connect(slot, inNode, slot)
+        end
+
+        C->>C: offset positions to cursor
+        C->>C: selectItems(created)
+        C->>G: afterChange()
+    end
+```
+
+Problems: clone-serialize-parse-remap-deserialize dance. Every entity type has
+its own ID remapping logic. Subgraph IDs, node IDs, reroute IDs, and link
+parent IDs all remapped independently. ~300 lines across multiple methods.

+| Copy format          | Clone → serialize → JSON (format depends on class)                 | Component snapshot (uniform format for all entities)               |
+| ID remapping         | Separate logic per entity type (nodes, reroutes, subgraphs, links) | Single remap table applied to all entity ID refs in all components |
+| Paste reconstruction | `createNode()` → `add()` → `configure()` → `connect()` per node    | `createEntity()` → `setComponent()` per entity (flat)              |
+| Subgraph handling    | Recursive clone + UUID remap + deduplication                       | Snapshot includes SubgraphStructure component with entity refs     |
+| Code complexity      | ~300 lines across 4 methods                                        | ~60 lines in one system                                            |

+## Summary: Cross-Cutting Benefits
+
+| Benefit                       | Scenarios Where It Applies                                                 |
+| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Atomic operations**         | Node Removal, Pack/Unpack — no intermediate inconsistent state             |
+| **No scattered `_version++`** | All scenarios — VersionSystem handles change tracking                      |
+| **No callback cascades**      | Deserialization, Connect — systems query World instead of firing callbacks |
+| **Uniform ID handling**       | Copy/Paste, Unpack — one remap table instead of per-type logic             |
+| **Entity deletion = cleanup** | Node Removal — `deleteEntity()` removes all components                     |
+| **No two-phase creation**     | Deserialization — components reference IDs, not instances                  |
+| **Move instead of clone**     | Pack/Unpack — entities keep their IDs, just change scope                   |
+| **Testable in isolation**     | All scenarios — mock World, test one system                                |
+| **Undo/redo for free**        | All scenarios — snapshot components before mutation, restore on undo       |
