+# Nodarium — LLM Reference
+
+## What It Is
+
+Nodarium is a **node-based visual programming editor**. Users wire together nodes on a 2D canvas; each node is a WebAssembly module that receives typed inputs and produces typed outputs. A live Three.js viewer renders the resulting 3D geometry/paths/instances.

+**Event flow:**
+
+1. User edits graph → GraphManager mutates state
+2. GraphManager emits `save` → ProjectManager persists to IndexDB
+3. GraphManager emits `result` → Runtime executes graph → Viewer updates

+
+## Key Types
+
+```typescript
+// packages/types/src/types.ts
+
+type NodeId = `${string}/${string}/${string}`; // e.g. "max/plantarium/stem"
+
+type NodeInstance = {
+  id: number;
+  type: NodeId;
+  position: [number, number];
+  props?: Record<string, number | number[]>; // current parameter values
+  meta?: { title?: string; lastModified?: string };
+  state: NodeRuntimeState; // runtime-only, NOT serialized
+};
+
+type NodeRuntimeState = {
+  type?: NodeDefinition; // resolved definition
+  parents?: NodeInstance[];
+  children?: NodeInstance[];
+  x?: number;
+  y?: number; // interpolated position
+  mesh?: Mesh; // Three.js mesh reference
+  ref?: HTMLElement;
+};
+
+type NodeDefinition = {
+  id: NodeId;
+  inputs?: Record<string, NodeInput>;
+  outputs?: string[]; // output type names
+  meta?: { title?: string; description?: string };
+  execute(input: Int32Array): Int32Array; // WASM function
+};
+
+// Edge: [fromNode, outputIndex, toNode, inputSocketName]
+type Edge = [NodeInstance, number, NodeInstance, string];
+
+type Graph = {
+  nodes: NodeInstance[];
+  edges: [number, number, number, string][]; // serialized (IDs, not refs)
+  settings: Record<string, unknown>;
+  groups: GroupDefinition[];
+};
+
+type GroupDefinition = {
+  id: number;
+  nodes: NodeInstance[];
+  edges: Edge[];
+  inputs?: Record<string, NodeInput>;
+  outputs?: string[];
+};
+```
+
+### NodeInput socket types
+
+`float` | `integer` | `boolean` | `select` | `seed` | `vec3` | `geometry` | `path` | `shape` | `color` | `*` (wildcard)
+
+Each input can have: `value` (default), `label`, `hidden`, `external`, `setting` (link to graph setting), `accepts` (extra compatible types).
+
+---
+
+## Patterns & Conventions
+
+### Svelte 5 reactivity
+
+The codebase uses Svelte 5 runes throughout — `$state`, `$derived`, `$effect`. Collections use `SvelteMap<K,V>` and `SvelteSet<T>` (from `svelte/reactivity`) instead of plain Map/Set so that mutations trigger reactive updates.
+
+### Context API
+
+`GraphManager` and `GraphState` are provided via Svelte context (`setContext` / `getContext`) inside `GraphInterface`. All child components (Node, Edge, etc.) consume them via context rather than props.
+
+### Edge representation
+
+In memory, edges are `[NodeInstance, outputIndex, NodeInstance, inputSocketName]` — direct object references for fast traversal. On serialization (`Graph.edges`), they become `[nodeId, outputIndex, nodeId, inputSocketName]` (plain IDs).
+
+### Socket compatibility
+
+```typescript
+areSocketsCompatible(outputType: string, inputType: string | string[]): boolean
+// '*' wildcard matches any type; 'geometry' accepts ['geometry', 'instances']
+```
+
+### WASM execution interface
+
+Every node exposes a single function: `execute(input: Int32Array): Int32Array`.
+Data encoding (Plantarium):
+
+- `[0, stemDepth, ...x,y,z,thickness]` — path
+- `[1, vertexCount, faceCount, ...faces, ...vertices, ...normals]` — geometry
+- `[2, vertexCount, faceCount, instanceCount, stemDepth, ...]` — instances
+
+### Event emitter
+
+`GraphManager extends EventEmitter<{ save, result, settings }>`. Subscribe with `manager.on('result', cb)`. Used to decouple the editor UI from runtime execution and persistence.
+
+### History
+
+Every mutation goes through `HistoryManager`. Call `this.history.save(this.serialize())` before mutations; undo/redo replays jsondiffpatch deltas.
+
+### Internal node IDs
+
+Built-in nodes use the `__internal/` namespace: `__internal/group/instance`, `__internal/node/debug`. Virtual boundary nodes use `__virtual/`: `__virtual/group/input`, `__virtual/group/output`.
+
+---
+
+## In-Progress: Node Groups (`feat/group-node-own`)
+
+Group selected nodes with **Ctrl+G**. A `GroupDefinition` is stored in `Graph.groups[]`; a group instance node (`__internal/group/instance`) referencing it by `props.groupId` replaces the selected nodes.
