The graph was only locked by five edit-mode guards in GraphCanvas. The running game reads the graph by reference each frame, so a new node, edge, changed value, disconnect or undo takes effect from the next frame. Stop discards these edits like everything else changed in play. A new On start node does not fire for a behavior that has already started. During play every data output shows the value it last produced, in the highlight colour and refreshed ten times a second. Values are kept per graph, because node ids are only unique within one; with several instances the most recent value wins. The Variables node reads the live variable bag, so only its own outputs are kept, as a snapshot. Each time an exec edge fires, a bead runs along it in 0.3 s, at most one every 0.15 s per edge, following the same curve the edge is drawn with. Beads run on game time and freeze while paused; the game logic is unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
todo-notes
A drop box for ideas that come up while work is already in progress, so they are not lost and not squeezed into the running task. One file per topic, free form, any language.
Anything in here is fair game to pick up at any time. When a note is done, move the file to done/
rather than deleting it – the note says what was wanted, the commit says what was built.
