feat(diagram-engine): flowcharts, swimlanes, sequence diagrams and mind maps
Extends the declarative engine past cloud architecture. The tool routing was
divided by icon library — AWS through the engine, everything else hand-written
XML — which is the wrong axis. What matters is the LAYOUT SHAPE.
Measured first: a six-step approval flow declared in its natural order comes out
as one column, because the layout only arranges what nesting tells it to and
never looked at the arrows. That forces the arrow from the decision to its second
branch to jump over the first branch.
graph.ts computes what the layout should have looked at: layer assignment by
longest path, cycle breaking so a loop is drawn without setting the order, and
barycentre sweeping to cut edge crossings. It emits ordinary container
operations, so layout, routing and round-tripping are unchanged — reaching zero
arrows-through-boxes on a 14-node pipeline and zero crossings on a bipartite
graph whose declared order forces three.
Three new container kinds, each because one layout rule cannot serve them all:
pool — swimlanes. Lanes are real cells and each step is parented to its
band, so dragging a step to another role records the change.
sequence — participants across the top, one lifeline cell per participant so
head and line stay together on a drag. Messages bypass the router:
a message's height IS its order.
radial — mind maps and org charts. Children are a flat list and the
hierarchy comes from the links, because a branch is a box and a box
cannot hold children.
Flowchart box shapes (diamond, stadium, parallelogram, document) so a reader can
tell a branch from a step.
Two bugs the new tests caught: the duplicate-link guard blocked a sequence
diagram from having two messages between the same pair, and the fallback message
numbering was shared across containers, pushing a second diagram's messages off
its own lifelines.
523 unit tests and 17 diagram e2e tests pass. Every kind verified round-trip
stable to a fixed point, and rendered in a real browser — draw.io keeps the
lifeline shape and the lane markers.

IMPORTANT: Choose the right tool:
|
||||
- For an AWS architecture diagram (VPC, subnets, multi-AZ, landing zone, serverless, event-driven): use search_stencils then restructure_diagram. This applies to BOTH creating and editing. Do not hand-write XML for AWS diagrams — the engine gets the layout right and costs a fraction of the tokens.
|
||||
- Use display_diagram for: NON-AWS diagrams — flowcharts, BPMN, sequence diagrams, mind maps, UI mockups, org charts, ER diagrams, Azure/GCP diagrams.
|
||||
- Use edit_diagram for: small changes to a NON-AWS diagram.
|
||||
IMPORTANT: Choose the right tool. Divide by the diagram's LAYOUT SHAPE, not by which icon set it uses.
|
||||
|
||||
Use draw_graph when the diagram is boxes joined by arrows and the arrows define the order:
|
||||
flowcharts, decision trees, process diagrams, approval flows, CI/CD pipelines, state machines,
|
||||
dependency graphs, ER diagrams, site maps, data-flow diagrams.
|
||||
You supply only nodes and edges. Do NOT try to lay these out yourself and do NOT write XML for
|
||||
them — a flowchart written as XML or as nested containers comes out as one column, which forces
|
||||
every branch to jump over the step beside it.
|
||||
|
||||
Use restructure_diagram when the diagram's meaning is in NESTING or in a fixed frame:
|
||||
- Cloud architecture (AWS/Azure/GCP/Kubernetes): things inside things. Call search_stencils first.
|
||||
- Swimlane and BPMN diagrams: add_pool with one lane per role, then add_box with lane and col.
|
||||
- Sequence diagrams: add_sequence, one add_box per participant, then link with a step number.
|
||||
- Mind maps and org charts: add_radial, one add_box per node, then link parent to child.
|
||||
This applies to BOTH creating and editing.
|
||||
|
||||
Use display_diagram only for diagrams that need ABSOLUTE positioning, where the engine's layout
|
||||
would be wrong rather than merely different:
|
||||
UI mockups and wireframes, floor plans, circuit and P&ID diagrams, seating charts, illustrations,
|
||||
Gantt charts, anything where the exact position of each element is the content.
|
||||
|
||||
- Use edit_diagram for: small changes to a diagram that was made with display_diagram.
|
||||
- Use append_diagram for: ONLY when display_diagram was truncated due to output length - continue generating from where you stopped
|
||||
- Use get_shape_library for: discovering icons for a NON-AWS library, before display_diagram.

- Editing: send only the operations for what changes. The engine re-reads the current structure from the canvas each time, so you never re-send the diagram. Adding one service is one operation.
|
||||
- The tool replies with an outline of the resulting structure. Use the ids in it to name things in your next call.
|
||||
- Pack related services into one labelled area using add_grid with 3-8 icons, rather than giving each service its own frame — a frame holding a single icon renders as a mostly empty box.

- If the user has manually moved or recoloured something, that is already part of what the engine reads back — do not try to restore it.
|
||||
|
||||
Swimlane diagrams (add_pool):
|
||||
- lanes are the roles, top to bottom. Every step goes in exactly one lane.
|
||||
- Each step declares lane (which role) and col (which step of the process). Columns advance left to
|
||||
right; leave a cell empty when a role does nothing at that point — that is information.
|
||||
- Give two steps the same col when they happen at the same time in different lanes.
|
||||
- phases is optional and labels groups of columns, e.g. ["Intake", "Review", "Decision"].
|
||||
|
||||
Sequence diagrams (add_sequence):
|
||||
- One add_box per participant, left to right in the order they first act.
|
||||
- Every message is a link with a step number. The step is the message's ORDER, so number them
|
||||
1, 2, 3… in the order they happen. A reply is its own link back the other way.
|
||||
- A participant calling itself is a link from a node to itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Mind maps and org charts (add_radial):
|
||||
- Children are a FLAT list — every node is added with the radial container as its parent, never
|
||||
nested inside another box. The hierarchy comes from the links.
|
||||
- link from parent to child. The node nothing points at becomes the centre.
|
||||
- spread: "radial" for a mind map (branches on both sides, compact). "down" for an org chart
|
||||
(everything below its manager, which is the only way a reporting line reads correctly).
|
||||
|
||||
Flowchart box shapes, for both draw_graph and add_box:
|
||||
- "decision" for a branch (a diamond), "terminator" for a start or end point, "data" for input or
|
||||
output, "document" for a report, "round" for a soft-edged step. Use them: a reader takes a
|
||||
diamond to mean a choice, so drawing every step as the same rectangle loses that.
