I think there’s a gap around node inspection UX.

From what I see, the PRD defines node inspection in Run View (double-click with run-scoped data), but it doesn’t clearly define how this relates to Live node inspection or whether we reuse the same UI vs create separate experiences.

My suggestion:

• Clicking a node in Live Canvas should always show latest state
• Run View should be the only place for run-specific (historical) inspection
• Reuse the same node inspection UI everywhere (just change the data source) (NOT SURE IF THIS IS GOOD UX, just something that popped in my head)

This keeps the mental model simple:

• Live = “what’s happening now”
• Run View = “what happened in that run”

and avoids having multiple sidebars / duplicated inspection patterns.

let me know your thoughts.

Hey @forestileao good points - this was WIP - i have updated it now and I hope it covers details better.
Your instinct is right - imo we have to have similar UI/UX between Runs/Live or have completely different UI/UX - keeping it in some weird same same, but different state will be confusing. For now, I suggested that we go with the approach of keeping them very similar. This means that we would ditch the runs in sidebar on the live view completely.
