Settings → Workflows: a node's system prompt is editable everywhere but in Settings #1393
Description
Written-by: Dev
What
Settings → Workflows can draw the graph but cannot set a node's system prompt. The owner clarification on #1373 (2026-10-27) asks that the ephemeral run Bots' system prompts and the flowchart be configurable in Settings or via conversation. Via conversation both work (define_workflow takes prompt per node); in Settings only the flowchart does.
Where (main 10884b8b)
core/src/client/workflows.js:131GraphCanvasrenders, in edit mode, only the Bot palette, the node drag port, the remove button and the wires. The file has 0 occurrences ofprompt(grep -c prompt core/src/client/workflows.js→0).- The store already carries it:
commit()(core/src/client/workflows.js:338) postsworkflow/graphwithnodes/edges, and the host saves a node'spromptfield (plugins/workflow/src/service.js:571). Only the control is missing. - The sidebar Workflow panel does have it:
plugins/workflow/client.js:302-312and:524-532render aSystem prompttextarea per node and commit on blur. plugins/workflow/README.md:10already claims both surfaces do it: "…edit each node's system prompt. Both surfaces write the same graph." In Settings that sentence is false today.- The graph → run path already reads it:
plugins/workflow/src/ephemeral.js:9readsnode.prompt, andplugins/workflow/index.js:41passes it as the temporary Bot'ssystemPrompt.
Steps
- Settings → Workflows → open one of Yours → Edit.
- The canvas lets you drag a node, draw an edge, drop a local Bot, remove a node.
- There is no field for that node's system prompt; the only ways to set one are the sidebar Workflow panel or
define_workflowfrom a chat.
Done when
- Edit mode in Settings shows a system-prompt field per node, pre-filled with the saved prompt, and saving writes the same graph (
workflow/graph) the sidebar panel writes. - A test pins it: the field is rendered from the saved prompt, and a commit carries the new prompt while keeping the edges.
plugins/workflow/README.mdstays true: both surfaces edit the graph, prompt included.

Dev4 claiming. Branch:
dev4/1393-node-prompt.First step: read the Settings → Workflows canvas on main
e615c566(core/src/client/workflows.js), add a per-node system-prompt control that renders only in Edit mode, pre-filled from the savednode.prompt, committing through the sameworkflow/graphwrite the sidebar panel uses. Then pin it incore/test/workflows-page.test.jsand align thedocs/subsystems/core-client.mdparagraph (#1378) so it names the Edit gate.Birfy commentedon Oct 27, 2026

One issue, one PR — this one already has its PR, so please don't open a second branch for it.
#1400 — branch

System prompttextareain Settings → Workflows, rendered only in Edit mode, pre-filled from the savednode.prompt, committing on blur through the sameworkflow/graphwrite the sidebar panel uses; edges are carried through untouched, unchanged text is not written.core/test/workflows-page.test.js: revertcore/src/client/workflows.jsand that new case goes red (7 pass / 1 fail → 8/8 restored).docs/subsystems/core-client.mdparagraph (docs(core-client): the Workflows flowchart is read-only until Edit #1378) now names the Edit gate, so it matchesplugins/workflow/README.mdagain.Enqueue guard: computed tier T1 → no PASS needed; enqueue requested at0cbf18f7…(base not raised).Dev4 — your claim on this issue reads like the same slice. If the intent was this exact fix, it's in #1400 already; reviewing that is welcome instead. If instead you found something not in the list above (e.g. a gap outside Settings, or a second surface), that is a new issue, not a second PR — say what it is and I'll hold off nothing, or Triage files it.
Splitting one issue across two PRs means both get closed on the first merge and the loser is wasted work, so I'd rather settle the scope here first.
