DOPE-606 follow-up. Mirror PR: Autonomy-Logic/openplc-web#734

Now that execution order can actually be saved (#1084), four things about it needed fixing. DOPE-611 is folded in here rather than shipped separately: every execution-order edit runs through the code that rewires the block, so the two apart would deliver a feature that corrupts diagrams the moment it is used.

0. Editing a block no longer rewires it (DOPE-611)

Every edge was forced onto inputConnector / outputConnector — just the first pin on each side. A block with two or more inputs had all its input wires collapsed onto IN1, and the wires to IN2, IN3 … were lost. Two wires on one pin transpile as a parallel combination, so SUB(acc, 3) came out as SUB(IN1 := 3 OR acc) and failed to compile. With same-typed pins it would have changed the logic and still built.

A pin that still exists on the rebuilt node now keeps its wire. That covers the whole same-variant case — an execution-order edit rebuilds with an identical pin set, so nothing moves — and preserves the matching pins of a variant swap. A wire whose pin is genuinely gone is dropped and reported, rather than piled onto the first pin. In ladder the rung chain still follows the connectors, because there an edge into a block is power flow rather than a data read.

Before / after on the same edit (set execution order 1 on SUB):

before:  -> SUB  targetHandle=IN1   (acc)
         -> SUB  targetHandle=IN1   (3)     <-- was IN2, collapsed
after:   -> SUB  targetHandle=IN1   (acc)
         -> SUB  targetHandle=IN2   (3)     <-- preserved

1. Ladder no longer has an execution order

Rung position is the order in ladder — but the LD Block Properties dialog exposed the same field FBD does, and emitLdBody collects sinks globally across all rungs before bucketing. So numbering a block in rung 2 hoisted it above rung 1.

Confirmed on a P1AM-100 with a two-rung program (rung 1: ADD(seed,1) -> acc, rung 2: MUL(acc,10) -> acc):

Setup Generated Hardware
both blocks unnumbered ADD, MUL (rung order) acc = 10 ✅
rung 2's block numbered 1 MUL, ADD acc = 1 ❌ rung order violated

The field is gone from the LD dialog. The dialog also now writes executionOrder: 0 rather than preserving whatever the project carried, so editing a block clears a stale value instead of keeping it alive. The walker is untouched — this is a UI-level fix, so a project that already has numbers baked in still misorders until its blocks are edited. Worth knowing if we'd rather scope the bucketing per-rung for LD instead; that was the alternative and it's a bigger change.

2. 0 now reads as "None"

The transpiler treats anything > 0 as ordered and sorts the rest by layout position, so 0 is the absence of an order, not the lowest one. A bare "0" read as "runs first" and meant the opposite.

  • Displays None when unset; blanks on focus so you type over it rather than around it.
  • Digits only — a leading - is dropped rather than rejected on submit.
  • A typed 0, or an emptied field, falls back to None.
  • Arrows step by one and floor at None.
  • No upper clamp. The old ceiling reused maxInputs, an input-count constant; execution order is an ordering key, not a count. (This also closes the range-validation point CodeRabbit raised on fix(editor): three small defects from the community forum [DOPE-606] #1084, which I'd deferred for exactly this reason.)

3. A numbered block shows a badge

Small round badge on the bottom-right corner, only when the block carries an order — an ordinary diagram stays uncluttered, and a numbered one shows its sequence without opening a dialog per block.

Anchored to the block's own width/height rather than the wrapper's edges (the wrapper is a few px taller, so bottom-0 sat below the border), and inset by half the 6px corner radius: centring on the mathematical corner puts the badge past the curve, where the drawn border has already turned away, and it reads as hanging low. The translate is relative to the badge's own size, so it holds for two-digit numbers.

Testing

Verified end to end on a P1AM-100: setting execution order 1 on the SUB block through the dialog, saving, and compiling now yields SUB ADD MUL with both of SUB's input wires intact, and the board computes acc = 10 as predicted. Before this change the same edit produced SUB(IN1 := 3 OR acc) and would not build.

Verified visually in a browser at each step (npm run dev:local), including the badge geometry measured against the block's border box.

Browser coverage lives in the web mirror, e2e/dope-606-execution-order-ux.spec.ts — None on an unset order, digits-only with a typed 0 falling back to None, arrows stepping and flooring, the badge appearing and clearing, and a ladder block having no field at all. It also updates the existing execution-order test, which did arithmetic on the field's value and now reads "None" there.

tsc clean, 0 lint errors, editor jest green (7724 passing).

Note for review

Removing the field from ladder is a behaviour change for existing LD projects: a block edited through the dialog loses any execution order it had. That's the intent — ladder should never have had one — but it is worth a second opinion before merge.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • FBD blocks now display their execution order when a positive, valid value is set.
  • Improvements

    • FBD execution-order editing supports digits only, clears the existing value on focus, and displays “None” for empty or zero values.
    • Execution-order increments can exceed the previous input limit.
    • FBD block replacements preserve connections by surviving pin IDs, including self-loops, and report dropped connections.
    • Ladder block replacements preserve connections by matching pin names and report unavailable connections.
  • Updates

    • Ladder block properties no longer include an execution-order field.

Follow-up to DOPE-606, from reviewing how the field reads now that it can
actually be saved.

**Ladder no longer has an execution order.** Rung position is the order in
ladder, but the LD Block Properties dialog exposed the same field FBD does,
and `emitLdBody` buckets sinks GLOBALLY across rungs -- so numbering a block
in rung 2 hoisted it above rung 1. Confirmed on a P1AM-100 with a two-rung
program (`ADD(seed,1)->acc` then `MUL(acc,10)->acc`): both blocks unnumbered
gave acc=10 (rung order), numbering rung 2's block gave acc=1. The field is
gone from the LD dialog, and the dialog now writes 0 rather than preserving
whatever a project carried, so an edit clears a stale value instead of
keeping it alive.

**0 now reads as "None".** The transpiler treats anything > 0 as ordered and
sorts the rest by layout position, so 0 is the ABSENCE of an order rather
than the lowest one -- a bare "0" read as "runs first" and meant the
opposite. The field takes digits only: a leading `-` is dropped rather than
rejected on submit, a typed 0 (or an emptied field) falls back to None, and
it blanks on focus so the user types over "None" instead of around it. The
arrows step by one and floor at None. The old ceiling reused `maxInputs`, an
input-count constant; execution order is an ordering key rather than a
count, so there is no upper clamp now.

**A numbered block shows a badge.** Small round badge on the bottom-right
corner, only when the block carries an order, so an ordinary diagram stays
uncluttered and a numbered one shows its sequence without opening a dialog
per block. It is anchored to the block's own width/height rather than the
wrapper's edges (the wrapper is a few pixels taller) and inset by half the
6px corner radius: centring on the mathematical corner puts it past the
curve, where the drawn border has already turned away, and it reads as
hanging low.

Verified in a browser at each step. Covered by

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds execution-order badges to FBD blocks, updates FBD execution-order input behavior, preserves valid FBD and ladder connections by pin name, and removes editable execution-order handling from ladder block dialogs.

Changes

Execution order handling and connection remapping

Layer / File(s) Summary
FBD execution-order input
src/frontend/components/_features/[workspace]/editor/graphical/elements/fbd/block/index.tsx
The modal displays zero as “None”, clears the label on focus, accepts digits only, and permits increments above maxInputs.
FBD execution-order badge
src/frontend/components/_atoms/graphical-editor/fbd/block.tsx
FBD blocks render a badge for finite positive execution orders. The displayed value is truncated.
FBD pin-based edge remapping
src/frontend/components/_features/[workspace]/editor/graphical/elements/fbd/block/index.tsx
Block submission preserves edges for surviving pins by ID. It handles self-loops, drops edges for removed pins, and reports the count in a toast.
Ladder execution-order normalization and edge remapping
src/frontend/components/_features/[workspace]/editor/graphical/elements/ladder/block/index.tsx
Ladder blocks initialize, rebuild, and submit with executionOrder set to 0. The dialog no longer tracks execution-order edits. Submission remaps edges by pin name and preserves the rung chain.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b2171

Editing a Ladder block can silently clear its saved execution order, and extremely large FBD execution-order inputs can be persisted incorrectly. Preserve existing Ladder values or explicitly migrate them, and validate FBD values as safe finite integers before merge.

…it rewiring blocks

Follow-up to DOPE-606, and the DOPE-611 fix folded in with it: every
execution-order edit runs through the code that rewires the block, so
shipping the two apart would deliver a feature that corrupts diagrams the
moment it is used.

**Editing a block no longer rewires it (DOPE-611).** Every edge was forced
onto `inputConnector` / `outputConnector`, which are just the FIRST pin on
each side -- so a block with two or more inputs had all its input wires
collapsed onto IN1 and the wires to IN2, IN3 ... were lost. Two wires on one
pin transpile as a parallel combination, so `SUB(acc, 3)` came out as
`SUB(IN1 := 3 OR acc)` and failed to compile; with same-typed pins it would
have changed the logic and still built. A pin that still exists on the
rebuilt node now keeps its wire, which covers the whole same-variant case
and the matching pins of a variant swap; anything genuinely gone is dropped
and reported rather than piled onto the first pin. In ladder the rung chain
still follows the connectors, because there an edge into a block is power
flow rather than a data read.

**Ladder no longer has an execution order.** Rung position is the order in
ladder, but the LD dialog exposed the same field FBD does, and `emitLdBody`
buckets sinks GLOBALLY across rungs -- so numbering a block in rung 2
hoisted it above rung 1. Confirmed on a P1AM-100 with a two-rung program
(`ADD(seed,1)->acc` then `MUL(acc,10)->acc`): unnumbered gave acc=10 (rung
order), numbering rung 2's block gave acc=1. The field is gone, and the

clears a stale value.

**0 now reads as "None".** The transpiler treats anything > 0 as ordered and

and would not build.

Code Review — DOPE-606 + DOPE-611

Verdict: approvable, with one decision to settle first.

The core of DOPE-611 is correct, and I traced the whole chain rather than taking it on trust: handle ids are the pin's variable name (getBlockSize, utils.ts:36-54, id: ${connector}), so they survive a rebuild — which makes the match "by pin name" sound and the same-variant case a provable no-op. buildNodes.tsx:70 (inputConnector: leftHandles[0]) confirms the bug exactly as you describe it. Both transpiler premises the PR rests on check out in code. The mirror is byte-identical across all three shared files.

Folding DOPE-611 in here was the right call — shipping the execution-order feature without the rewire fix would have put a feature in production that corrupts diagrams on first use.

One thing blocks, and it happens to be exactly where you asked for a second opinion.


🔴 Ladder: zeroing the order destroys data the format still carries — and the walker is not the bug

Removing the field from the LD dialog: agreed. Zeroing the value: not as written.

Two facts the description does not account for:

1. The walker's global bucketing is deliberate, not a defect. walker/ld.ts:182-188 says so directly:

"Sinks are then collected and bucketed GLOBALLY (across all rungs) — the python oracle iterates a flat instance list, so per-rung bucketing would misorder cases where an ordered block (executionOrderId > 0) lives in a later rung but must emit before unordered work earlier in the body."

So a numbered block in rung 2 hoisting above rung 1 is the reference implementation's behaviour, reproduced on purpose to match the oracle. Your P1AM-100 run did not find an editor regression — it found the legacy semantics.

2. The format still carries the attribute. ladder-xml.ts:551 emits @executionOrderId for ladder blocks. Zeroing in the UI does not remove the capability from the file; it only stops the editor from expressing it.

Together, the hardcoded executionOrder: 0 (:100 and :387) means that editing anything on a ladder block — a variant swap, the input count, the execution-control switch — silently erases an order the project was carrying. No warning. And that sits in the same file as a toast that carefully reports dropped wires: two destructive effects, treated inconsistently.

Suggested (lowest risk): hide the control but pass the existing value through — executionOrder: selectedNode.data.executionOrder at both sites. That removes the authoring footgun without destroying any project data. If clearing really is the intent, then announce it the way you announce the dropped wires.


🟡 1. The riskiest change in the PR has no unit test at all

#1085 is three files, all source. #734 adds two Playwright specs — and no workflow in openplc-web references playwright or e2e (I re-checked), so they never run in CI. The pin-name rewire, the wire-dropping path and the ladder zeroing therefore have no automated coverage anywhere.

That matters more here than on #1084: the old behaviour misrouted wires, the new one deletes them. A unit test over the rewire helper — same variant moves nothing, a swap with matching names preserves them, a genuinely missing pin is dropped and counted — is cheap and covers precisely what a hardware check cannot repeat per commit.

🟡 2. Unbounded execution order → Infinity → null in the saved file

CodeRabbit raised this; I confirmed it by running it:

Input String(Number(digits))
400 nines Infinity
9007199254740993 9007199254740992
JSON.stringify({executionOrder: Infinity}) {"executionOrder":null}

Dropping the maxInputs ceiling was right — but replacing it with no bound admits values JSON cannot represent. It degrades to 0 on reload (narrow.ts:125), so nothing breaks; it is silent loss. A sane cap, or Number.isSafeInteger, closes it.

🟡 3. Three type assertions, against the repo's own rule

block.tsx:820 (data as { executionOrder?: unknown }) is the one CodeRabbit flagged; there are two more it did not — newNode.data as {...} in both dialogs. The guideline is "Do not use type assertions, except as const." The root fix is typing executionOrder and the handles on the node data model, which also makes the defensive Number.isFinite unnecessary.

🟡 4. Self-loop edge leaves a dangling endpoint (plausible; I could not confirm reachability)

edge.id.replace(node.id, newNode.id) replaces only the first occurrence. On an edge whose source and target are the same node, the source pass rewrites the id; the target pass then looks for the old id, finds nothing, and the map is a no-op — leaving the edge's target on a node that no longer exists, and outside the dropped-wire count. I found no source === target guard in the FBD connect path, but I did not confirm the canvas allows creating one. Pre-existing shape; a cheap guard closes it.


🟢 Minor

  • sync / Shared Surface Sync has not reported on either PR yet. I checked parity by hand and it is identical, but worth confirming when it runs.
  • rewire reassigns newEdges via map/filter inside a forEach — O(n²) in edges. Irrelevant at rung scale, but a single reduce would read better.

✅ What is solid

  • The pin-name match is sound, verified end to end — handle ids are deterministic across rebuilds, so an execution-order edit moves zero edges by construction.
  • Both transpiler premises hold: > 0 buckets first with the remainder sorted by position (ld.ts:239-247), and sinks are collected globally (ld.ts:182-190). Reading 0 as the absence of an order rather than the lowest one is correct, and "None" is the right UX for it.
  • The ladder exception is well judged — match by name first, fall back to the connector only for the rung chain, drop the rest. Separating power flow from data reads is exactly the right distinction.
  • Badge carries aria-label and title, is pointer-events-none, is anchored to the block's own width/height, and guards non-positive and non-finite values. The corner-radius inset reasoning is legitimate.
  • 49 transpiler tests pass on the branch — no walker regression.
  • Every point from my review of fix(editor): three small defects from the community forum [DOPE-606] #1084 was addressed before it merged, including the DOPE-599 merge ordering: dropping fix Create PR's template #3 put variables.ts back to development, so that collision is gone and fix(variables): compare variable names case-insensitively everywhere (DOPE-599) #1083/refactor(ai): sync shared surfaces for AI chat enhancements #732 should merge cleanly.

To approve: settle the ladder decision above — my recommendation is to hide the field and preserve the value. I would take 🟡1 and 🟡2 before merge; 🟡3 and 🟡4 are fine as follow-ups.

…sertions

Three findings from the review of the DOPE-611 remap.

**The ladder rung chain is matched against `selectedNode`, and matched first.**
Two bugs, one line apart. The connectors the existing edges ride were read
from the dialog's local `node`, which an execution-control toggle or a variant
swap has already rebuilt with DIFFERENT connectors -- so the rung edge matched
nothing and was dropped. Turning execution control off on a ladder block lost
the rung connection and with it the block itself, which is worse than the
dropped wire the review described. And the rung is now matched BEFORE any
pin-name match: `AND`'s `IN1` connector survives on `ADD` as an ordinary data
pin, so a name-first check left the rung squatting on `IN1` beside the branch
`reconcileBranches` had just rebuilt there, giving two wires on one pin.

**Edges are replaced in place, never appended.** `reconcileBranches` runs
before the remap and rewrites the branch edges' ids, so an id taken from
`edges` may no longer be in `newEdges`. Appending it back resurrected a stale
edge alongside the reconciled one.

**A self-loop keeps both endpoints.** An edge whose source and target are both
this block appears in both lists; remapping in two id-keyed passes rewrote the
id on the first and then failed to find the edge on the second, leaving the
other endpoint on a node that no longer exists. One pass over the affected
edges, keyed by id, resolves both endpoints together. This one is pre-existing
-- `development` leaves a dangling edge on the same fixture -- and the canvas
does permit creating a self-loop, so it is fixed rather than filed.

**No type assertions.** `CLAUDE.md:298` forbids `as`, and every field these
casts reached for is already typed: `executionOrder: number`,
`inputHandles: CustomHandleProps[]`, `inputConnector: CustomHandleProps |
undefined`. The handle type is taken from the node itself rather than
imported, so it cannot drift from the builder.

Also drops a duplicated BOOL/EN-ENO rule: ladder's own
`getBlockVariantAndExecutionControl` already forces execution control on when
a block's top pins are not BOOL, and `buildBlockNode` runs it for every block
placed on a rung. Passing the form's value through means a rebuilt block obeys
the same rule as a freshly placed one, with one implementation rather than two
-- and it uses `validateVariableType` rather than the naive string compare the
duplicate had.

Verified in a browser at each step, each fix confirmed to fail without it:
toggling execution control on a ladder block loses the block on the old code;
a self-loop leaves a dangling edge on `development`; the ADD swap doubles up
on `IN1` without the ordering change.

395-398: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not silently erase persisted executionOrder values.

Saving an unrelated Ladder block edit always writes 0. Existing Ladder files can still contain a nonzero executionOrder, and the removed dialog control gives users no way to see or restore that value. Preserve the stored value until an explicit migration removes it, or require clear confirmation before this save changes project data.
