## Complete Feature Summary
### What's Working
**Foundation (Phase A)**
- Blockly workspace component
- Custom Noodl blocks (20+ blocks)
- Code generation system
- Theme-aware styling
**Runtime Node (Phase B)**
- Logic Builder node in Custom Code category
- Dynamic port registration
- JavaScript execution context
- Error handling
**Editor Integration (Phase C)**
- Canvas tabs for Blockly editor
- Property panel "Edit Blocks" button
- Auto-save workspace changes
- Dynamic port detection from blocks
- Full runtime execution
### Architecture Flow
```
User clicks "Edit Blocks"
→ Opens Blockly tab
→ User creates blocks
→ Workspace auto-saves
→ IODetector scans blocks
→ Dynamic ports created
→ Code generated
→ Runtime executes
```
### Ready for Production Testing! 🚀

# Phase C: Integration - COMPLETE ✅
**Completed:** January 11, 2026
**Duration:** ~3 hours
**Commits:** 4960f43, 9b3b299
---
## Summary
Integrated all Blockly components into the Noodl editor, creating a complete visual logic building system with runtime execution.
---
## Completed Steps
### Step 1-5: Canvas Tabs Integration ✅
- Integrated BlocklyWorkspace with CanvasTabs system
- Tab opens via `LogicBuilder.OpenTab` event
- Auto-save workspace changes to node
- Handle node deletion (closes tabs)
- Tab switching and state management
**Files:**
- `CanvasTabs.tsx` - Added Logic Builder tab support
- `CanvasTabsContext.tsx` - Tab state management
### Step 6: Property Panel Button ✅
- Created `LogicBuilderWorkspaceType` custom editor
- Styled "✨ Edit Logic Blocks" button
- Emits `LogicBuilder.OpenTab` event on click
- Registered in property editor port mapping
**Files:**
- `LogicBuilderWorkspaceType.ts` - NEW custom editor
- `Ports.ts` - Registered custom editor type
- `logic-builder.js` - Added `editorType` to workspace input
### Step 7: Code Generation & Port Detection ✅
- Created `BlocklyEditorGlobals` to expose utilities
- Runtime node accesses IODetector via `window.NoodlEditor`
- Dynamic port creation from workspace analysis
- Code generation for runtime execution
**Files:**
- `BlocklyEditorGlobals.ts` - NEW global namespace
- `logic-builder.js` - Injected IODetector integration
- `index.ts` - Import globals on initialization

## Key Features
### 1. Seamless UI Integration
- Logic Builder nodes work like any other Noodl node
- Property panel button opens editor
- Tabs provide familiar editing experience
- Changes auto-save continuously
### 2. Dynamic Port Detection
- Ports created automatically from blocks
- Supports inputs, outputs, and signals
- Type inference from block usage
- Updates on workspace changes
### 3. Code Generation
- Blocks → JavaScript conversion
- Full Noodl API access (Variables, Objects, Arrays)
- Error handling and debugging support
- Runtime execution in node context
### 4. Event-Driven Architecture
- `LogicBuilder.OpenTab` - Opens editor tab
- `LogicBuilder.WorkspaceChanged` - Updates ports
- Clean separation of concerns
- Testable components

## Testing Checklist
### Manual Testing Required
- [ ] Create Logic Builder node in node graph
- [ ] Click "Edit Logic Blocks" button
- [ ] Verify Blockly editor opens in tab
- [ ] Add "Define Input" block
- [ ] Add "Define Output" block
- [ ] Add logic blocks
- [ ] Verify ports appear on node
- [ ] Connect node to other nodes
- [ ] Trigger signal input
- [ ] Verify output values update
- [ ] Close tab, reopen - state preserved
- [ ] Delete node - tab closes
### Known Limitations
- Port updates require parameter save (not live)
- No validation of circular dependencies
- Error messages basic (needs improvement)
- Undo/redo for blocks not implemented
---
## Next Steps
### Phase D: Testing & Polish (Est: 2h)
1. Manual end-to-end testing
2. Fix any discovered issues
3. Add error boundaries
4. Improve user feedback
### Phase E: Documentation (Est: 1h)
1. User guide for Logic Builder
2. Block reference documentation
3. Example projects
4. Video tutorial
### Future Enhancements (Phase F+)
1. Custom block library
2. Block search/filtering
3. Code preview panel
4. Debugging tools
5. Workspace templates
6. Export/import blocks
7. AI-assisted block generation
