```

## Architecture Overview

Node Banana is a node-based visual workflow editor for AI image generation. Users drag nodes onto a React Flow canvas, connect them via typed handles, and execute pipelines that call AI APIs.

### Core Stack
- **Next.js 16** (App Router) with TypeScript
- **@xyflow/react** (React Flow) for the node editor canvas
- **Konva.js / react-konva** for canvas annotation drawing
- **Zustand** for state management (single store pattern)

### Key Files

| Purpose | Location |
|---------|----------|
| Central workflow state & execution logic | `src/store/workflowStore.ts` |
| All TypeScript type definitions | `src/types/index.ts` |
| Main canvas component & connection validation | `src/components/WorkflowCanvas.tsx` |
| Base node component (shared by all nodes) | `src/components/nodes/BaseNode.tsx` |
| Image generation API route | `src/app/api/generate/route.ts` |
| LLM text generation API route | `src/app/api/llm/route.ts` |
| Cost calculations | `src/utils/costCalculator.ts` |
| Grid splitting utility | `src/utils/gridSplitter.ts` |

### State Management

All application state lives in `workflowStore.ts` using Zustand. Key patterns:
- `useWorkflowStore()` hook provides access to nodes, edges, and all actions
- `executeWorkflow(startFromNodeId?)` runs the pipeline via topological sort
- `getConnectedInputs(nodeId)` retrieves upstream data for a node
- `updateNodeData(nodeId, partialData)` updates node state
- Auto-save runs every 90 seconds when enabled

### Execution Flow

1. User clicks Run or presses `Cmd/Ctrl+Enter`
2. `executeWorkflow()` performs topological sort on node graph
3. Nodes execute in dependency order, calling APIs as needed
4. `getConnectedInputs()` provides upstream images/text to each node
5. Locked groups are skipped; pause edges halt execution

## AI Models

Image generation models (these exist and are recently released):
- `gemini-2.5-flash-image` → internal name: `nano-banana`
- `gemini-3-pro-image-preview` → internal name: `nano-banana-pro`

LLM models are defined once in `src/lib/llm/catalog.ts`: the current list per provider, legacy ids saved workflows may carry, their replacements, and the defaults. Add or retire a model there; every dropdown, `/api/llm` and the assistant read it.

## Node Types

| Type | Purpose | Inputs | Outputs |
|------|---------|--------|---------|
| `imageInput` | Load/upload images | reference | image |
| `annotation` | Draw on images (Konva) | image | image |
| `prompt` | Text prompt input | none | text |
| `nanoBanana` | AI image generation | image, text | image |
| `llmGenerate` | AI text generation | text, image | text |
| `splitGrid` | Split image into grid cells | image | reference |
| `generateAudio` | AI audio/TTS generation | text | audio |
| `audioInput` | Load/upload audio files | audio | audio |
| `glbViewer` | Load/display 3D GLB models | none | image |
| `output` | Display final result | image | none |

## Node Connection System

### Handle Types

| Handle Type | Data Format | Description |
|-------------|-------------|-------------|
| `image` | Base64 data URL | Visual content |
| `text` | String | Text content |
| `audio` | Base64 data URL | Audio content |

### Connection Rules

1. **Type Matching**: Handles only connect to matching types (`image`→`image`, `text`→`text`)
2. **Direction**: Connections flow from source (output) to target (input)
3. **Multiplicity**: Image inputs accept multiple connections; text inputs accept one

### Data Flow in `getConnectedInputs`

Returns `{ images: string[], text: string | null }`.

**Image data extracted from:**
- `imageInput` → `data.image`
- `annotation` → `data.outputImage`
- `nanoBanana` → `data.outputImage`

**Text data extracted from:**
- `prompt` → `data.prompt`
- `llmGenerate` → `data.outputText`

**Audio data extracted from:**
- `audioInput` → `data.audioFile`
- `generateAudio` → `data.outputAudio`

## Keyboard Shortcuts

- `Cmd/Ctrl + Enter` - Run workflow
- `Cmd/Ctrl + C/V` - Copy/paste nodes
- `Shift + P` - Add prompt node at center
- `Shift + I` - Add image input node
- `Shift + G` - Add generate (nanoBanana) node
- `Shift + V` - Add video (generateVideo) node
- `Shift + L` - Add LLM node
- `Shift + A` - Add annotation node
- `Shift + T` - Add audio (generateAudio) node
- Hold `H` and drag - Hook edges into one movable bundle
- `V` - Stack selected nodes vertically
- `G` - Arrange selected nodes in grid
- `?` - Show keyboard shortcuts

## Adding New Node Types

1. Define the data interface in `src/types/index.ts`
2. Add to `NodeType` union in `src/types/index.ts`
3. Create default data in `createDefaultNodeData()` in `workflowStore.ts`
4. Add dimensions to `defaultDimensions` in `workflowStore.ts`
5. Create the component in `src/components/nodes/`
6. Export from `src/components/nodes/index.ts`
7. Register in `nodeTypes` in `WorkflowCanvas.tsx`
8. Add minimap color in `WorkflowCanvas.tsx`
9. Update `getConnectedInputs()` if the node produces consumable output
10. Add execution logic in `executeWorkflow()` if the node requires processing
11. Update `ConnectionDropMenu.tsx` to include the node in source/target lists

### Handle Naming Convention

Use descriptive handle IDs matching the data type:
- `id="image"` for image data
- `id="text"` for text data

### Validation

- Connection validation: `isValidConnection()` in `WorkflowCanvas.tsx`
- Workflow validation: `validateWorkflow()` in `workflowStore.ts`

## Adding New Kie.ai Models (SOP)

Reference docs: https://docs.kie.ai/llms.txt lists all available model API pages.

### Step 1: Gather API Details
Visit the model's doc page on https://docs.kie.ai/ and collect:
- Model ID(s) (the `model` param sent to the API)
- Capabilities: text-to-image, image-to-image, text-to-video, image-to-video
- API endpoint (standard: `/api/v1/jobs/createTask`, or model-specific like Veo's `/api/v1/veo/generate`)
- All input parameters: name, type, enum values, defaults, required status
- Image/video input parameter name (e.g., `image_urls`, `imageUrls`, `input_urls`)
- Polling endpoint (standard: `/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo`, or model-specific)
- Response format and status field names
- Pricing (per-run cost if available)

### Step 2: Add Model Registry Entry
**File:** `src/app/api/models/route.ts` — Add to `KIE_MODELS` array.
Each model entry needs: `id`, `name`, `description`, `provider: "kie"`, `capabilities`, `pricing`, `pageUrl`.
Use separate entries for each capability variant (e.g., `model/text-to-video` and `model/image-to-video`).

### Step 3: Add Parameter Schema
**File:** `src/app/api/models/[modelId]/route.ts` — Add to `getKieSchema()`.
Define `parameters` (user-configurable settings) and `inputs` (connectable handles like prompt, images).

### Step 4: Add Default Parameters
**File:** `src/app/api/generate/providers/kie.ts` — Add case to `getKieModelDefaults()`.
Provide required defaults that must be present even if the user doesn't set them.

### Step 5: Add Image Input Key Mapping
**File:** `src/app/api/generate/providers/kie.ts` — Add to `getKieImageInputKey()`.
Map the model to its correct image parameter name if it differs from the default `image_urls`.

### Step 6: Handle Non-Standard API (if applicable)
If the model uses different endpoints than `/api/v1/jobs/createTask` and `/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo`:
- Add a detection function (e.g., `isVeoModel()`)
- Add a model-ID-to-API-model mapping function
- Add a custom polling function for the model's status endpoint
- Add a branch in the Kie request-building logic (see `src/app/api/generate/providers/kie.ts`) for the custom request format

## Adding Comfy Router Models

Comfy Router (`https://api.comfy.org/v2/models/{provider}/{model}`, header `X-API-Key`) fronts ~240 partner models behind one Comfy key and forwards each partner's native request and response. Provider id is `comfy`, shown as "ComfyUI". Its key on the Providers page is the one Comfy key: Comfy Cloud runs and partner nodes use it too (`comfyAccountKey()` in `src/lib/comfy/settings.ts`; a Cloud key an older build stored on the ComfyUI tab is moved there on start by `migrateLegacyComfyCloudKey`).

Discovery and settings are live; wire formats are data:

- **Which models exist:** `GET /v2/models` (paginated, needs the key), cached ten minutes. The browser offers every *bound* model the Router currently serves.
- **Settings:** each model's published schema — `GET /v2/models/{id}/openapi.json` with the key, or `https://docs.comfy.org/router-schemas/{id}.json` without — cached six hours. `schema.ts` turns the request schema into the node's parameters (types, enums, ranges, defaults, descriptions); nothing about a setting is typed by hand unless the schema is looser than the partner.
- **Wire formats:** `src/lib/providers/comfyRouter/families.json` — one *family* per partner request format: a request template (`body`), the media handles it fills and how each is encoded (`base64`, `dataUrl`, or `url` = uploaded to Comfy storage first), where its settings live in the schema (`params.at`/`exclude`), per-setting `paramOverrides` (enum, default, value), and where the output or the partner's error sits in the response (`result.media`/`errors`). The binding language is documented at the top of `template.ts`. Models the app cannot drive are listed under `excluded` with the reason.
- **New model of a known format:** add it to that family's `models` (id, name, description, capabilities, any per-model overrides). **New format:** add a family.
- **Checks:** `npm run comfy:router-sync` downloads every schema into `.scratch/comfy-router-schemas` and lists Router models that are neither bound nor excluded. Then `npx vitest run src/lib/providers/comfyRouter/__tests__/routerSchemas.test.ts` validates the smallest and fullest request of every bound model against its schema (Ajv) and checks each result path exists in the response schema. `src/app/api/generate/providers/__tests__/comfy.test.ts` pins bodies and result readings for the main formats.
- **Transport:** always the queue (`POST …/requests` → poll `…/requests/{id}/status` respecting `Retry-After` → `GET …/requests/{id}`), with an `Idempotency-Key` per submit — synchronous partners (OpenAI, Qwen) work through it too. The generate route returns the polling envelope with `pollProvider: "comfy"` and `/api/generate/poll` finishes the run. Binary answers (ElevenLabs) become audio; 3D models return as their URL.
- **Masks:** partners disagree. OpenAI edits where the mask is transparent; FLUX Fill and Bria edit where it is white; Ideogram 4.5 edits where it is black.

## API Routes

All routes in `src/app/api/`:

| Route | Timeout | Purpose |
|-------|---------|---------|
| `/api/generate` | 10 min | Image/video generation, dispatched by `selectedModel.provider`; async providers (Kie, Comfy) return a polling envelope |
| `/api/generate/poll` | 2 min | Finish an async run (Kie, Comfy Router) |
| `/api/models` | default | Model registry across providers (`?provider=`, `?search=`) |
| `/api/models/[modelId]` | default | Per-model parameters and inputs |
| `/api/env-status` | default | Which provider keys the server has from `.env` |
| `/api/llm` | 1 min | Text generation (Google/OpenAI) |
| `/api/workflow` | default | Save/load workflow files |
| `/api/save-generation` | default | Auto-save generated images |
| `/api/logs` | default | Session logging |

## localStorage Keys

- `node-banana-workflow-configs` - Project metadata (paths)
- `node-banana-provider-settings` - Provider API keys and enabled flags (the `comfy` entry falls back to `node-banana-comfy-settings`' cloud key)
- `node-banana-workflow-costs` - Cost tracking per workflow
- `node-banana-nanoBanana-defaults` - Sticky generation settings

## Git Workflow

- The primary development branch is `develop`, NOT `main` or `master`
- Always checkout `develop` before creating feature branches: `git checkout develop`
- Create feature branches from `develop` using: `feature/<short-description>` or `fix/<short-description>`
- All PRs MUST target `develop`: use `gh pr create --base develop`
- Never push directly to `main`, `master`, or `develop`

## Commits
- Commit after each logical task or unit of work is complete. When implementing a multi-task plan, commit after finishing each task — do NOT batch all tasks into a single commit at the end.
- Each commit should be atomic and self-contained: one task = one commit.
- The .planning directory is untracked, do not attempt to commit any changes to the files in this directory.
