Named execution and documentation groupPipelines
The `pipeline` property groups related streams under a user-defined name. It provides architectural context without replacing the actual directed links.
When to use
Use this page while editing or reviewing the graph in the designer.
Behavior
- Enter an existing pipeline name or type a new one in the Stream Execution properties. Pipeline names are project-defined rather than selected from a fixed enum.
- When a new link is created and the consumer has no pipeline, it inherits the effective source pipeline. This also propagates through automatically inserted adapter streams.
- Selecting a stream with a non-empty pipeline highlights all streams with the same pipeline in orange in the VueFlow renderer.
- Pipeline membership is emitted into generated service configuration and is used by generated pipeline-oriented documentation and runtime context.
- A pipeline can span branches created by Split and can describe a business flow that contains Input, transformations, external calls, joins, deadlines, and result handling.

IndicatorMeaningDescription
Selected stream
The selected node keeps its green outline.
Same pipeline
Other nodes with the same non-empty pipeline receive an orange outline and glow.
Actual order
Blue graph links, not the shared pipeline name, define message direction and execution dependencies.
