Diagrams — icon reference & aliases

Every diagram node takes a provider:name string that selects artwork only — it never implies routing, balancing, queueing, or persistence. The catalogue covers 17 providers / 2461 components, generated from assets/diagrams/ by scripts/gen-diagram-manifest.py (Mingrammer/Diagrams icon set, disk-loaded at render — no binary bloat).

Reference notation

• provider:name — e.g. node(x, arch, "aws:lambda", "fn"), "gcp:bigquery", "onprem:redis", "k8s:pod". First matching category wins for the bare name.
• provider:category/name — disambiguates when the same name lives in two categories of one provider, e.g. "aws:network/internet-gateway" vs "aws:general/internet-gateway".
• Native archetypes need no provider: client, service, gateway, database, cache, queue, storage, external (no cloud assets).

Friendly aliases

Short, human names resolve to the exact catalogue key — same artwork either way:

Everything else passes through unchanged: aws:lambda, gcp:*, azure:*, onprem:*, k8s:*, ibm:*, oci:*, … all resolve directly.

Colouring paths by relationship

A connect(id, …) exposes two colourable parts — the cold dashed line id and the hot overlay id.hot. Group connections by relationship and colour each group (color/hue/glow/dashed/stroke) so a dense diagram reads at a glance:

color(reqPath, cyan);   color(reqPath.hot, cyan);    // REQUEST
color(logPath, gold);   color(logPath.hot, gold);    // ANALYTICS
hue(scrape, 328);       hue(scrape.hot, 328);         // TELEMETRY (pink)
