Fixed TypeError when generating metadata for templates with missing or
invalid nodes_used data. Added safe JSON parsing with fallback to empty
array.
Root cause: Template -1000 (Canonical AI Tool Examples) has null
nodes_used field, causing iteration error in summarizeNodes().

CRITICAL BUG FIX:
NodeTypeNormalizer.normalizeToFullForm() converts TO SHORT form (nodes-langchain.*),
but all validation code compared against FULL form (@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.*).
This caused ALL AI validation to be silently skipped.
Impact:
- Missing language model detection: NEVER triggered
- AI tool connection detection: NEVER triggered
- Streaming mode validation: NEVER triggered
- AI tool sub-node validation: NEVER triggered
ROOT CAUSE:
Line 348 in ai-node-validator.ts (and 19 other locations):
if (normalizedType === '@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.agent') // FULL form
But normalizedType is 'nodes-langchain.agent' (SHORT form)
Result: Comparison always FALSE, validation never runs
FIXES:
1. ai-node-validator.ts (7 locations):
- Lines 551, 557, 563: validateAISpecificNodes comparisons
- Line 348: checkIfStreamingTarget comparison
- Lines 417, 444: validateChatTrigger comparisons
- Lines 589-591: hasAINodes array
- Lines 606-608, 612: getAINodeCategory comparisons
2. ai-tool-validators.ts (14 locations):
- Lines 980-991: AI_TOOL_VALIDATORS keys (13 validators)
- Lines 1015-1037: validateAIToolSubNode switch cases (13 cases)
3. ENHANCED streaming validation:
- Added validation for AI Agent's own streamResponse setting
- Previously only checked streaming FROM Chat Trigger
- Now validates BOTH scenarios (lines 259-276)
VERIFICATION:
- All 25 AI validator unit tests: ✅ PASS
- Debug test (missing LM): ✅ PASS
- Debug test (AI tools): ✅ PASS
- Debug test (streaming): ✅ PASS
Resolves:
- HIGH-01: Missing language model detection (was never running)

Added 4 critical integration tests to prevent regression of the
production-breaking array index corruption bug in multi-output nodes.
Tests verify against real n8n API:
1. IF Node - Empty array preservation when removing connections
- Removes true branch connection
- Verifies empty array at index 0
- Verifies false branch stays at index 1 (not shifted)
2. Switch Node - Remove first case (MOST CRITICAL)
- Tests exact bug scenario that was production-breaking
- Removes case 0
- Verifies cases 1, 2, 3 stay at original indices
3. Switch Node - Sequential operations
- Complex scenario: rewire, add, remove in sequence
- Verifies indices maintained throughout operations
- Tests empty arrays preserved at intermediate positions
4. Filter Node - Rewiring connections
- Tests kept/discarded outputs (2-output node)
- Rewires one output
- Verifies other output unchanged
All tests validate actual workflow structure from n8n API to ensure
our fix (only remove trailing empty arrays) works correctly.
Coverage:
- Total: 174 tests (158 unit + 16 integration)
- All tests passing ✅
- Integration tests provide regression protection

CRITICAL BUG FIX: Fixed array index corruption in multi-output nodes
(Switch, IF with multiple handlers, Merge) when rewiring connections.
Problem:
- applyRemoveConnection() filtered out empty arrays after removing connections
- This caused indices to shift in multi-output nodes
- Example: Switch.main = [[H0], [H1], [H2]] -> remove H1 -> [[H0], [H2]]
- H2 moved from index 2 to index 1, corrupting workflow structure
Root Cause:
```typescript
// Line 697 - BUGGY CODE:
workflow.connections[node][output] =
connections.filter(conns => conns.length > 0);
```
Solution:
- Only remove trailing empty arrays
- Preserve intermediate empty arrays to maintain index integrity
- Example: [[H0], [], [H2]] stays [[H0], [], [H2]] not [[H0], [H2]]
Impact:
- Prevents production-breaking workflow corruption
- Fixes rewireConnection operation for multi-output nodes
- Critical for AI agents working with complex workflows
Testing:
- Added integration test for Switch node rewiring with array index verification
- Test creates 4-output Switch node, rewires middle connection
- Verifies indices 0, 2, 3 unchanged after rewiring index 1
- All 137 unit tests + 12 integration tests passing

Problem:
- search_templates_by_metadata with no filters caused Claude Desktop timeouts
- Query loaded ALL templates with metadata_json and decompressed workflows
- With 2,646 templates, this caused significant performance issues
Solution:
- Implement two-phase query optimization:
1. Phase 1: SELECT id only (fast, no workflow data)
2. Phase 2: Fetch full records only for matching IDs (decompress only needed rows)
- Prevents loading/decompressing thousands of rows when only 20 are needed
Performance Impact:
- No filters: Now responds instantly instead of timing out
- With filters: Same fast performance, minimal overhead
- Only decompresses the exact number of rows needed (limit parameter)
Testing:
- Tested with no filters: ✅ 2,646 templates, returned 5 in <1s
- Tested with complexity filter: ✅ 262 templates, returned 3 in <1s

## Bug Description
handleCreateWorkflow and handleUpdateFullWorkflow were incorrectly
normalizing node types from FULL form (n8n-nodes-base.webhook) to
SHORT form (nodes-base.webhook) before validation and API calls.
This caused 100% failure rate for workflow creation because:
- n8n API requires FULL form (n8n-nodes-base.*)
- Database stores SHORT form (nodes-base.*)
- NodeTypeNormalizer converts TO SHORT form (for database)
- But was being used BEFORE API calls (incorrect)
## Root Cause
NodeTypeNormalizer was designed for database lookups but was
incorrectly applied to API operations. The method name
`normalizeToFullForm()` is misleading - it actually normalizes
TO SHORT form.
## Changes
1. handlers-n8n-manager.ts:
- Removed NodeTypeNormalizer.normalizeWorkflowNodeTypes() from
handleCreateWorkflow (line 288)
- Removed normalization from handleUpdateFullWorkflow (line 544-557)
- Added proactive SHORT form detection with helpful errors
- Added comments explaining n8n API expects FULL form
2. node-type-normalizer.ts:
- Added prominent WARNING about not using before API calls
- Added examples showing CORRECT vs INCORRECT usage
- Clarified this is FOR DATABASE OPERATIONS ONLY
3. handlers-n8n-manager.test.ts:
- Fixed test to expect FULL form (not SHORT) sent to API
- Removed incorrect expectedNormalizedInput assertion
4. NEW: workflow-creation-node-type-format.test.ts:
- 7 integration tests with real validation (unmocked)
- Tests FULL form acceptance, SHORT form rejection
- Tests real-world workflows (webhook, schedule trigger)
- Regression test to prevent bug reintroduction
## Verification
Before fix:
❌ Manual Trigger → Set: FAILED
❌ Webhook → HTTP Request: FAILED
Failure rate: 100%
After fix:
✅ Manual Trigger → Set: SUCCESS (ID: kTAaDZwdpzj8gqzM)
✅ Webhook → HTTP Request: SUCCESS (ID: aPtQUb54uuHIqX52)
✅ All 39 tests passing (32 unit + 7 integration)
Success rate: 100%
## Impact
- Fixes: Complete blocking bug preventing all workflow creation
- Risk: Zero (removing buggy behavior)
- Breaking: None (external API unchanged)

Issue #248 required three iterations to solve due to n8n API version differences:
1. First attempt: Whitelist filtering
- Failed: API rejects ANY settings properties via update endpoint
2. Second attempt: Complete settings removal
- Failed: Cloud API requires settings property to exist
3. Final solution: Unconditional empty settings object
- Success: Satisfies both API requirements
Changes:
- src/services/n8n-validation.ts:153
- Changed from conditional `if (cleanedWorkflow.settings)` to unconditional
- Always sets `cleanedWorkflow.settings = {}`
- Works for both cloud (requires property) and self-hosted (rejects properties)
- tests/unit/services/n8n-validation.test.ts
- Updated all 4 tests to expect `settings: {}` instead of removed settings
- Tests verify empty object approach works for all scenarios
Tested:
- ✅ localhost workflow (wwTodXf1jbUy3Ja5)
- ✅ cloud workflow (n8n.estyl.team/workflow/WKFeCRUjTeYbYhTf)
- ✅ All 72 unit tests passing
References:
- https://community.n8n.io/t/api-workflow-update-endpoint-doesnt-support-setting-callerpolicy/161916
- Tested with @agent-n8n-mcp-tester on production workflows
Replace generic "Please try again later or contact support" error messages
with actionable guidance that directs users to use n8n_get_execution with
mode='preview' for efficient debugging.
## Changes
### Core Functionality
- Add formatExecutionError() to create execution-specific error messages
- Add formatNoExecutionError() for cases without execution context
- Update handleTriggerWebhookWorkflow to extract execution/workflow IDs from errors
- Modify getUserFriendlyErrorMessage to avoid generic SERVER_ERROR message
### Type Updates
- Add executionId and workflowId optional fields to McpToolResponse
- Add errorHandling optional field to ToolDocumentation.full
### Error Message Format
**With Execution ID:**
"Workflow {workflowId} execution {executionId} failed. Use n8n_get_execution({id: '{executionId}', mode: 'preview'}) to investigate the error."
**Without Execution ID:**
"Workflow failed to execute. Use n8n_list_executions to find recent executions, then n8n_get_execution with mode='preview' to investigate."
### Testing
- Add comprehensive tests in tests/unit/utils/n8n-errors.test.ts (20 tests)
- Add 10 new tests for handleTriggerWebhookWorkflow in handlers-n8n-manager.test.ts
- Update existing health check test to expect new error message format
- All tests passing (52 total tests)
### Documentation
- Update n8n-trigger-webhook-workflow tool documentation with errorHandling section
- Document why mode='preview' is recommended (fast, efficient, safe)
- Add example error responses and investigation workflow
## Why mode='preview'?
- Fast: <50ms response time
- Efficient: ~500 tokens (vs 50K+ for full mode)
- Safe: No timeout or token limit risks
- Informative: Shows structure, counts, and error details
## Breaking Changes
None - backward compatible improvement to error messages only.

## Problem
AI assistants were consistently connecting SplitInBatches node outputs backwards because:
- Output index 0 = "done" (runs after loop completes)
- Output index 1 = "loop" (processes items inside loop)
This counterintuitive ordering caused incorrect workflow connections.
## Solution
Enhanced the n8n-mcp system to expose and clarify output information:
### Database & Schema
- Added `outputs` and `output_names` columns to nodes table
- Updated NodeRepository to store/retrieve output information
### Node Parsing
- Enhanced NodeParser to extract outputs and outputNames from nodes
- Properly handles versioned nodes like SplitInBatchesV3
### MCP Server
- Modified getNodeInfo to return detailed output descriptions
- Added connection guidance for each output
- Special handling for loop nodes (SplitInBatches, IF, Switch)
### Documentation
- Enhanced DocsMapper to inject critical output guidance
- Added warnings about counterintuitive output ordering
- Provides correct connection patterns for loop nodes
### Workflow Validation
- Added validateSplitInBatchesConnection method
- Detects reversed connections and provides specific errors
