The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
## [2.15.6] - 2025-10-05
### Fixed
- **Issue #269: Missing addNode Examples** - Added comprehensive examples for addNode operation in MCP tool documentation
- Problem: Claude AI didn't know how to use addNode operation correctly due to zero examples in documentation
- Solution: Added 4 progressive examples to `n8n_update_partial_workflow` tool documentation:
1. Basic addNode (minimal configuration)
2. Complete addNode (full parameters including typeVersion)
3. addNode + addConnection combo (most common pattern)
4. Batch operation (multiple nodes + connections)
- Impact: AI assistants can now correctly use addNode without errors or trial-and-error
- **Issue #270: Apostrophes in Node Names** - Fixed workflow diff operations failing when node names contain special characters
- Root Cause: `findNode()` method used exact string matching without normalization, causing escaped vs unescaped character mismatches
- Example: Default Manual Trigger node name "When clicking 'Execute workflow'" failed when JSON-RPC sent escaped version "When clicking \\'Execute workflow\\'"
- Solution: Added `normalizeNodeName()` helper that unescapes special characters (quotes, backslashes) and normalizes whitespace
- Affected Operations: 8 operations fixed - addConnection, removeConnection, updateConnection, removeNode, updateNode, moveNode, enableNode, disableNode
- Error Messages: Enhanced all validation methods with `formatNodeNotFoundError()` helper showing available nodes and suggesting node IDs for special characters
- Duplicate Prevention: Fixed `validateAddNode()` to use normalization when checking for duplicate node names
### Changed
- **WorkflowDiffEngine String Normalization** - Enhanced to handle edge cases from code review
- Regex Processing Order: Fixed critical bug - now processes backslashes BEFORE quotes (prevents multiply-escaped character failures)
- Whitespace Handling: Comprehensive normalization of tabs, newlines, and mixed whitespace (prevents collision edge cases)
- Documentation: Added detailed JSDoc warnings about normalization collision risks with examples
- Best Practice: Documentation recommends using node IDs over names for special characters
### Technical Details
- **Normalization Algorithm**: 4-step process
1. Trim leading/trailing whitespace
2. Unescape backslashes (MUST be first!)
3. Unescape single and double quotes
4. Normalize all whitespace to single spaces
- **Error Message Format**: Now shows node IDs (first 8 chars) and suggests using IDs for special characters
- **Collision Prevention**: Duplicate checking uses same normalization to prevent subtle bugs
### Test Coverage
- Unit tests: 120/120 passing (up from 116)
- New test scenarios:
- Tabs in node names
- Newlines in node names
- Mixed whitespace (tabs + newlines + spaces)
- Escaped vs unescaped matching (core Issue #270 scenario)
- Coverage: 90.11% statements (up from 90.05%)
### Code Review
- All 6 MUST FIX and SHOULD FIX recommendations implemented:
- ✅ Fixed regex processing order (critical bug)
- ✅ Added comprehensive whitespace tests
- ✅ Fixed duplicate checking normalization
- ✅ Enhanced all 6 validation method error messages
- ✅ Added comprehensive JSDoc documentation
- ✅ Added escaped vs unescaped test case
- Final review: APPROVED FOR MERGE (production-ready)
### Impact
- **Workflow Operations**: All 8 affected operations now handle special characters correctly
- **User Experience**: Clear error messages with actionable suggestions
- **Reliability**: Comprehensive normalization prevents subtle bugs
- **Documentation**: Tool documentation updated to reflect fix (v2.15.6+)
## [2.15.5] - 2025-10-04
