What

A VAR_IN_OUT parameter used to get a pin on both sides of a block. That let a diagram read the value back out of the block, wire several variables into the same parameter, and — while debugging — show a value badge where the output pin sat. CODESYS models an in-out as a pointer and draws it as one pin on the input side with a marker; this PR matches that.

Only the editor changes. The compiler and runtime are untouched: STruC++ already emits both the copy-in and the copy-out from the input-side connection alone, so a call still generates FB.PARAM = VAR; FB(); VAR = FB.PARAM; exactly as before. Same generated code, same behaviour — the change is what the user sees and what the editor lets them draw.

The rules, in one place

_atoms/graphical-editor/in-out-pin-rules.ts is the single source of truth. Pin geometry, pin labels, block sizing, the connection checks and the debug badges all derive from it, so the sides cannot drift again — which is exactly how the debug badge kept its own stale copy of the predicate until now.

  • One pin, input side. blockInputVariables / blockOutputVariables replace every open-coded class === 'output' || class === 'inOut'.
  • Exactly one wire. A second connection to an occupied in-out pin is refused with a CODESYS-worded toast (findOccupiedInOutPin). CODESYS rejects the same thing: "The 'X' pin internally contains more than one associated connection. This is not allowed."
  • A marker after the pin name (State ⟷), drawn as an SVG — the character is missing from several of the fonts the editors fall back to, and sits on the baseline where it does exist. Block width reserves IN_OUT_MARKER_WIDTH for it so a long in-out name plus the arrow cannot overflow the block.

Migrating projects saved with the old two-sided pin

Handle geometry lives inside the node's data and is not recomputed on load, so an existing project still carries the in-out's right-hand pin and any wires leaving it. On load:

  • stripInOutOutputHandles drops the stale output pin and re-flows the remaining output pins, whose vertical position comes from their index, so labels and pins stay aligned;
  • migrateInOutSourceEdges re-points every wire that left an in-out pin at whatever feeds that pin. The read is equivalent — the block wrote through the reference — so the diagram and the generated code keep behaving identically instead of silently losing wires. A wire whose pin has nothing feeding it cannot be salvaged and is dropped, and the count is reported.

Verified

  • 13 unit tests in __tests__/in-out-pin-rules.test.ts covering the pin split, the one-wire restriction, both migration paths and the width reservation. They use the runner globals rather than importing vitest, so they pass under Jest here and vitest in openplc-web.
  • Ran end to end on the Irrigation Controller, whose main reads Irrigation_Main_Controller.State into two other blocks: migration rewires it, the program compiles, and it runs correctly on the Simulator with the debugger showing the in-out's value on the connected variable and no phantom badge on the block.

Mirrored verbatim in openplc-web (same branch name) — shared surfaces verified byte-identical.

A VAR_IN_OUT parameter used to get a pin on BOTH sides of a block, which let a
diagram read the value back out of the block. That is not how an in-out works:
it is passed by reference, so the block's parameter IS the caller's variable.
CODESYS draws it as one pin on the input side with a left-right arrow over it,
and rejects any attempt to read it ("No external access to VAR_IN_OUT
parameter"), so a diagram that read the pin could not be exchanged with it.

An in-out is now a single pin on the input side in both graphical languages,
badged with ⟷ so it is distinguishable from a plain input, and it accepts
exactly one variable — a second wire would alias the same parameter twice with
no defined order, which CODESYS also refuses ("The 'X' pin internally contains
more than one associated connection.").

Generated code is unchanged: the compiler already emits both halves of the
in-out from the input-side connection alone, so a call still produces
`FB.PARAM = VAR;  FB();  VAR = FB.PARAM;` — verified against the Irrigation
Controller's generated pou_MAIN.cpp, which has no out-variable node for the
in-out yet still writes back to STATE.

Projects saved with the old two-sided pin are healed on load, because handle
geometry is persisted in the node rather than recomputed: the stale right-hand
pin is dropped (re-flowing the remaining output pins so labels stay aligned)
and any wire that left it is re-pointed at whatever feeds the pin. That keeps
behaviour identical — the block wrote through the reference, so reading the pin
and reading the variable are the same value. The Irrigation Controller's main
POU exercises this with two such wires.

The input/output split now lives in one place (in-out-pin-rules.ts) so pin
geometry, labels, generated XML and connection checks cannot drift apart.

… marker

An in-out parameter still got an output-side debug badge while a program was
running: `BlockOutputDebugBadges` selected `class === 'output' || class ===
'inOut'`, so the debugger drew a value where the pin used to be even though the
pin itself is gone. It is not a migration artefact — a block created today does
the same. The two diff-view node renderers carried the same stale predicate and
listed in-out parameters on both sides. All three now go through
`blockOutputVariables`, so the rule lives in one place.

Nothing is lost by dropping the badge: the block writes through the reference,
so the variable wired to the input pin already shows the written-back value.

The marker also moves from a 9px glyph floating above the pin to an SVG arrow
after the pin name (`State ⟷`), which is where CODESYS puts it and how the pin
reads out loud. It is an SVG rather than the `⟷` character because the glyph is
missing from several of the fonts the editors fall back to, and sits on the
baseline where it exists. Block width now reserves `IN_OUT_MARKER_WIDTH` for an
in-out label so a long name plus the arrow cannot overflow the block.

The unit tests dropped their `vitest` import — the desktop editor runs them
under Jest, where that import fails; the shared surface uses the globals.

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

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 901f2

The PR changes how existing VAR_IN_OUT wiring is displayed and migrated; unresolved migration issues can misplace pins and silently remove diagram wires, while read-only views may omit the new marker and accessibility support is incomplete. Merge should wait for the migration geometry and wire-reporting issues to be addressed or explicitly accepted.

Guard outputConnector before dereferencing it. stripInOutOutputHandles sets it to undefined when the in-out pin is the only output. The FBD and Ladder block replacement handlers read newBlockNode.data.outputConnector.id inside edges.source?.forEach, which can crash when a source edge remains.

Both loaders discard the migration counts, so dropped wires are silent. migrateInOutSourceEdges returns rewired and dropped for the caller to report, and the PR objectives state that unsalvageable wires are reported. Neither slice reads the counts.

Architecture Validation rejected the FBD slice's two imports from components.
The ladder slice already carries the same documented exception for the same
reason: handle geometry is persisted inside each node rather than recomputed on
render, so the slice owns it on load — it needs the pin-spacing constants to
re-flow a block's pins after healing a project saved with the old two-sided
VAR_IN_OUT pin. Those constants describe how components lay pins out, so they
live with the components that draw them.

Move FBD migration logic out of the components layer.

src/frontend/store/slices/fbd/slice.ts imports pure geometry constants and graph migration helpers from frontend/components. Move them to a store-allowed shared module, update consumers and tests, then remove the KNOWN_EXCEPTIONS entry.

Review notes

Five things I'd like to raise before this merges — two I think are correctness bugs in the migration path, three that are smaller.


🔴 1. The glbPosition.y re-flow drops the connector-Y base

src/frontend/components/_atoms/graphical-editor/in-out-pin-rules.ts:194

buildHandle is fed handlePosition.y, which is not node.position.y: FBD passes position.y + DEFAULT_BLOCK_CONNECTOR_Y (48) in fbd/buildNodes.tsx:58, and Ladder passes the rung's handleY (posY + style.handle.y, 36). Using node.position.y + index * connectorOffsetY here puts every re-flowed output handle 36–48px above where buildHandle would place it.

That value is real layout input, not bookkeeping — handle-branch/index.ts:175 reads targetHandle.glbPosition.y to place branch nodes (posY: handleY - style.handle.y), and ladder/block.tsx:263 reads handles[0].glbPosition when rebuilding a block. relPosition and style.top are correct; only this one diverges.

Deriving the base from the array being replaced avoids the dependency on node.position entirely: take node.data.outputHandles?.[0]?.glbPosition?.y before the filter and use base + index * connectorOffsetY.

Worth noting the test at __tests__/in-out-pin-rules.test.ts:172 asserts glbPosition: { x: 0, y: 0 }, so it currently locks the formula in rather than catching it.


🔴 2. In Ladder, an edge is the rung — not a data read

src/frontend/store/slices/ladder/slice.ts:47

migrateInOutSourceEdges treats an edge leaving an in-out pin as a data read that can be re-pointed at the pin's feed. That holds in FBD. In Ladder the edges are the rung chain: they use outputConnector?.id as sourceHandle (ladder-utils/edges.ts:64, elements/core/index.ts:65), and outputConnector is rightHandles[0].

Under the old rule rightHandles included in-outs, so a block whose first output-class parameter was a BOOL VAR_IN_OUT had its rail edge leaving that pin. On load this either re-points that edge at the previous element — bypassing the block in the rung — or, when nothing feeds the pin via an edge, drops it. Ladder feeds secondary pins through connectedVariables rather than edges, so the drop path is the likely one, and the rung breaks silently. Handle-branch edges (a coil/contact wired to a block output) have the same shape.

Restricting the migration to FBD, or skipping edges whose sourceHandle === outputConnector.id in Ladder, would keep the rung intact. Could you check this against a saved Ladder project with such a block?


🟡 3. rewired / dropped are computed and discarded

src/frontend/store/slices/fbd/slice.ts:34 and src/frontend/store/slices/ladder/slice.ts:47

Both call sites use only migrated.edges. The PR description says "A wire whose pin has nothing feeding it cannot be salvaged and is dropped, and the count is reported", but nothing reports it: no toast, no console line, no badge. A wire disappears from the user's diagram with no signal at all.


🟡 4. The healed flow is never marked dirty, so the migration doesn't reach disk

src/frontend/store/slices/ladder/slice.ts:101 and src/frontend/store/slices/fbd/slice.ts:42

updated: needsMigration covers only the legacy connectedVariables case, and the FBD slice hard-codes updated: false. The convention is stated in the ladder slice itself: "Only mark as updated if legacy data was migrated so the next save writes the new format" — the in-out migration is exactly that, but doesn't participate.

So the two-sided pins stay in the .ld/.fbd indefinitely and the migration re-runs on every load. Combined with the discarded dropped count, a wire that couldn't be salvaged is both unreported and never persisted away.


🟡 5. The single-source-of-truth comment claims more than the file governs

src/frontend/components/_atoms/graphical-editor/in-out-pin-rules.ts:28

"the generated XML ... derive from them, so the two sides cannot drift" isn't accurate — the ST/XML emission keeps its own predicates: st-transpiler/emit/pou-graphical.ts:146-147 and backend/shared/utils/PLC/collect-library-blocks.ts:84 both still test output || inOut, and correctly so, since the compiler needs both directions. The editor-side rule is the single source of truth; the compiler-side one is deliberately separate.

Since stating an unenforced invariant is the same failure mode that let the debug badge keep its stale copy of the predicate, it'd be worth narrowing the claim to what this file actually governs and naming the compiler predicate as the intentional exception.


Everything else reads well. The consolidation into blockInputVariables / blockOutputVariables covers every call site — there's no output || inOut left anywhere in the frontend. Rebuilding handles as [...inputHandles, ...reflowed] is safe in both editors, since handles is exactly [...leftHandles, ...rightHandles] in each. The single-connection guard is complete as-is: ladderFlowActions.onConnect has no production caller, so Ladder has no free-form wiring to guard. And drawing the marker as an SVG rather than the character is the right call.
