The trigger-cascade (Spawn) edge used a lightning-bolt marker IN PLACE of the arrowhead. On the upward
Tags→Site hop the bolt sat on top of the riser and read as a broken arrow (rig screenshot 2026-09-08).
Every connector now ends in an ordinary arrowhead; the bolt is a badge (circle + bolt) centred on the
connector's vertical run (FlowGraphView.SpawnBadgePoint, kept in step with OrthogonalPath/AsyncPath).
Same screenshot, second defect: the cascade spawned by "RecipeDownloadFlag = false" was drawn from the
LAST write of the burst (RecipeProcessedFlag) because all four writes share a millisecond and the
spawner rule was time-only. FlowGraphBuilder now prefers the parent's last AttributeWrite of the attribute
the child's triggerAttribute names (at or before the child, else the last such write); the time/position
rules remain the fallback when the child names no attribute or the parent never wrote it.
Verified live on the rebuilt rig (DelmiaSim01 / DelmiaReceiverSimulator): both spawn edges show an
arrowhead + badge, the second one originates from the RecipeDownloadFlag write. bUnit + builder tests
updated/added; Playwright FlowDebuggerTests 4/4.

Code review of the merged arch-review remediation (Tasks 1-13) found four items.
1. FlowDebugRunner returned its OWN synthesized rows un-redacted. RunMethodAsync's
inbound row and RunValueChangeAsync's root row were handed to WriteCentralAsync
(whose writer redacts a private copy) and then put RAW into the returned Events —
so a Live run's caller saw the unfiltered row while Replay of the same execution
showed the redacted one, defeating F1's "Live shows what Replay reads back". Both
methods now resolve IAuditRedactor once per run and place the filtered copy into
the result (including the early-return path on a failed attribute write); the raw
row still reaches the writer, which redacts itself.
2. FlowGraphBuilder's spawner search degenerated to "the last step of the parent".
Since executions are ordered as contiguous blocks, position[p] < childPosition
holds for EVERY parent step, so a run shaped ScriptRun -> Write(A) -> Wait ->
Write(B) whose Write(A) fired the cascade drew the Spawn edge from Write(B). New
rule, in order: (a) the last non-async, non-Response parent step occurring at or
before the child's first step — parent and child of a trigger cascade share the
site clock, so this picks the write that actually fired it; (b) the position rule
as fallback, which is the mixed-clock case F5 was written for (a child clock
behind its parent's, where no parent step satisfies (a)); (c) parentChain[0].
The class remark's stale "Replay order is unchanged" claim is replaced with what
actually happens to a central Database.* call made after Route.To().Call.
3. FlowTraceCollector's byte budget counts UTF-16 chars of DetailsJson only, so
"well under the 4 MB gRPC default" overstated it. Documented honestly: ~1 MB of
UTF-8 for ASCII payloads, ~3 MB worst case for non-ASCII, both under 4 MB before
framing — and raise it only against a real serialized-size measurement.
4. CLI --timeout-seconds help + README row now say the management endpoint caps
flow-debug run-method at ManagementService:LongRunningCommandTimeout (default
5 min), so a larger client value still 504s at the server's ceiling.
Deferred-work register rows 112 (site-side inline trace truncation is invisible to
the operator — needs a proto field) and 113 (the F2 method-entry site scope gates
routed traffic only; ApiMethods have no site affinity to scope against) record what
this review deliberately did not fix.
Tests: FlowGraphBuilderTests gains the same-clock Write(A)/Wait/Write(B) cascade
(red before the rule change, and the clock-behind test still passes on rule (b));
FlowDebugRunnerTests extends the redactor test to the inbound row and adds two
value-change cases (settled poll, failed write). Commons 793, ManagementService 615,
CentralUI 1264, CLI 462 — all green.

Central rows carry central's clock, site rows the site's, so the global
OccurredAtUtc sort let a 1-2 s skew float a whole site execution ahead of the
inbound row / RouteCall that started it, and pushed the trigger-cascade spawner
search onto its parentChain[0] fallback.
FlowGraphBuilder.Build now orders executions by the input index of their
earliest-given row and orders steps by timestamp only INSIDE one execution
(one clock), breaking ties by kind rank then input index. A folded outbound
node keeps its earliest-by-time row's identity, which need not be the row given
first, so its index is the minimum over the rows folded into it. The spawner
search uses position in the ordered list rather than a raw timestamp compare.
FlowDebugRunner.RunMethodAsync keeps the collector's emission order instead of
re-sorting; the value-change path keeps its OrderBy (all rows share one site
clock). Replay input arrives timestamp-sorted from the repository, so its order
is unchanged.
The DelmiaShaped test fixture is still shuffled within each execution (the
inside-one-execution timestamp rule is unchanged) but now lists the executions
in emission order, since that is what fixes their relative order.

Every emit site hands FlowTraceCollector the same AuditEvent it hands the
writer, but redaction and payload capping lived inside the writers, which
return a NEW filtered record — so the inline copy that rides
ScriptCallResult.TraceEvents / RouteToCallResponse.TraceEvents was the RAW
event: no per-target SQL-parameter redaction, no header scrubbing, no 8 KB /
64 KB truncation. Live and Replay of the same execution could therefore show
different payloads, and the 500-event-only cap left the reply free to breach
the 4 MB gRPC receive limit — which would fail a real call, since the same
reply carries the script's return value.
The collector now applies the host IAuditRedactor itself (outside the lock;
the writers keep their own idempotent Apply) and enforces a byte budget
(DefaultMaxBytes = 1 MB over the redacted DetailsJson) alongside the event
cap, flagging Truncated when either trips. It moves to Commons
(Types/Debugging) so the central FlowDebugRunner can share it.
The redactor is a singleton, so ScriptRunLauncher resolves it from the ROOT
provider and keeps constructing the collector before the try — the traced
ScriptRun row is emitted from the catch blocks too, including the
shed-at-dequeue path that throws before the DI scope exists.

Review of Task 2 (2026-09-06 outbound-calls plan): (1) an outbound step that
precedes the first chain step of its execution — the default Replay shape when
a run's ScriptTrace rows are absent — was orphaned or given a solid spawner
edge; leading async steps now hang off the spawner on Async edges and the
first non-async step gets the normal link. (2) IsAsync keyed on the first row
being CachedSubmit; it now mirrors the projector's sync rule (first row not
ApiCall/DbWrite) so a group missing its submit row still branches. (3) Same-
tick rows tie-broke by GUID; new LifecycleRank (submit < attempt < resolve,
non-terminal < terminal) makes first/latest attribution order-independent.
(4) DbSubtitle used GetInt32 (FormatException on out-of-range/fractional) —
now TryGetInt32, never throws. Also: External-lane edges never count as
central↔site crossings; DurationMs clamped; FlowStep doc updated.

Fold rule: outbound rows sharing (kind, CorrelationId) become one FlowStep with
a Lifecycle list — first row's identity/time/input, latest row's outcome/
subtitle/output/error, DurationMs = sync row's own or submit→terminal wall time
(null while pending). Chain skips async steps (Notify, or first row
CachedSubmit) and links them with Async edges from the preceding chain step.
Spawner edges from a non-RouteCall are Spawn: true. The Response links from the
last non-async step of the inbound execution (the RouteCall), not the globally
last cascaded step (D9). FlowGraphView places a Response at max column + 1 so
the D9 origin does not pull it left (pulled forward from Task 7 to keep the
layout test green).

ResolveKind maps ApiOutbound/DbOutbound/Notification to ApiCall/DbCall/Notify;
ResolveLane puts the three on FlowLane.External; outbound outcomes map
Delivered→Ok, Failed→Failed, Parked/Discarded→Parked, else Pending; subtitles
'{status} · sync|cached', '{op} · n rows' from a DbWrite Extra, '{status}' for
Notify. New FlowStepProjector.IsOutbound helper.
