Patch project canvas

$ flora projects:canvas update
PATCH/projects/{projectId}/canvas

Applies a Mermaid flowchart patch to the project canvas using the same create_workflow path as the Fauna agent. The diagram may add nodes, connect nodes, and reference existing canvas nodes by their Mermaid short IDs in edges (e.g. n1 --> out). This endpoint is add-only: re-declaring an existing node id with a label (e.g. n3["..."]) creates a NEW node instead of updating the existing one, and returns a warning. To attach to an existing node, reference its id in an edge without re-declaring its label. Subgraph grouping is not applied (nodes inside a subgraph are added ungrouped) and returns a warning. To place an existing image/video/audio as a static node, set node_params — which is keyed by Mermaid node id, e.g. { "img1": { "content_url": "https://…" } }, NOT a bare { content_url } object. prompt and content_url are mutually exclusive for a node: use prompt (or a label that doubles as the prompt) for generation, or content_url for existing media. When using content_url, give the node a content-free type-only label such as img1["(Image)"] so no prompt is inferred from the label.

ParametersExpand Collapse
--project-id: string

Project identifier

--diagram: string

Mermaid flowchart diagram to apply

--node-params: optional map[object { aspect_ratio, content_url, model, 3 more } ]

Optional per-node parameters, keyed by Mermaid node id (a Record<nodeId, NodeParams>), e.g. { “img1”: { “content_url”: “https://…” } }. Pass a map keyed by node id, NOT a bare { content_url } object.
