Node Class

Modifiers: final

A registered introspection node. The publishing subsystem owns the underlying storage; the registry only holds the Node.reader closure.

Reader contract — Node.reader MUST be:

Allocation-free (typically just dereference an atomic + wrap in a Value subtype)

Non-blocking (no locks held while computing the value)

Safe to call from any thread, at any time

Violating the contract will degrade performance for introspection consumers but will not corrupt registry state.

Signature

data class Node(val path: String, val type: NodeType, val visibility: Visibility = Visibility.Debug, val description: String, val reader: () -> Value, val unit: String? = null)

Constructors

Node ( path , type , visibility , description , reader , unit )

Signature

constructor(path: String, type: NodeType, visibility: Visibility = Visibility.Debug, description: String, reader: () -> Value, unit: String? = null)

Parameters

path: String Full hierarchical path, e.g. /aether/audio/focus/focused_count. Path conventions are pure convention — the registry stores a flat keyed map.

description : String [Get]	Short human-readable label. Signature val description: String
path : String [Get]	Full hierarchical path, e.g. `/aether/audio/focus/focused_count`. Path conventions are pure convention — the registry stores a flat keyed map. Signature val path: String
reader : Function0 [Get]	Pull-style reader closure. See contract above. Signature val reader: () -> Value
type : NodeType [Get]	Advisory type hint for formatting. See NodeType. Signature val type: NodeType
unit : String? [Get]	Optional unit string (e.g. `"bytes"`, `"ms"`, `"count"`). Signature val unit: String? = null
visibility : Visibility [Get]	Visibility.Debug (default) or Visibility.ProductionSafe. Signature val visibility: Visibility
