Waleed 6b355e9b54 fix(subflows): recurse into all descendants for lock, enable, and protection checks (#3412)
* fix(subflows): recurse into all descendants for lock, enable, and protection checks

* fix(subflows): prevent container resize on initial render and clean up code

- Add canvasReadyRef to skip container dimension recalculation during
  ReactFlow init — position changes from extent clamping fired before
  block heights are measured, causing containers to resize on page load
- Resolve globals.css merge conflict, remove global z-index overrides
  (handled via ReactFlow zIndex prop instead)
- Clean up subflow-node: hoist static helpers to module scope, remove
  unused ref, fix nested ternary readability, rename outlineColor→ringColor

* fix(subflows): use full ancestor-chain protection for descendant enable-toggle

The enable-toggle for descendants was checking only direct `locked` status
instead of walking the full ancestor chain via `isBlockProtected`. This meant
a block nested 2+ levels inside a locked subflow could still be toggled.
Also added TSDoc clarifying why boxShadow works for subflow ring indicators.

* revert(subflows): remove canvasReadyRef height-gating approach

The canvasReadyRef gating in onNodesChange didn't fully fix the
container resize-on-load issue. Reverting to address properly later.

* fix: remove unintentional edge-interaction CSS from globals

Leftover from merge conflict resolution — not part of this PR's changes.

* fix(editor): correct isAncestorLocked when block and ancestor both locked, restore fade-in transition

isAncestorLocked was derived from isBlockProtected which short-circuits
on block.locked, so a self-locked block inside a locked ancestor showed
"Unlock block" instead of "Ancestor container is locked". Now walks the
ancestor chain independently.

Also restores the accidentally removed transition-opacity duration-150
class on the ReactFlow container.

* fix(subflows): use full ancestor-chain protection for top-level enable-toggle, restore edge-label z-index

The top-level block check in batchToggleEnabled used block.locked (self
only) while descendants used isBlockProtected (full ancestor chain). A
block inside a locked ancestor but not itself locked would bypass the
check. Now all three layers (store, collaborative hook, DB operations)
consistently use isBlockProtected/isDbBlockProtected at both levels.

Also restores the accidentally removed edge-labels z-index rule, bumped
from 60 to 1001 so labels render above child nodes (zIndex: 1000).

* fix(subflows): extract isAncestorProtected utility, add cycle detection to all traversals

- Extract isAncestorProtected from utils.ts so editor.tsx doesn't
  duplicate the ancestor-chain walk. isBlockProtected now delegates to it.
- Add visited-set cycle detection to all ancestor walks
  (isBlockProtected, isAncestorProtected, isDbBlockProtected) and
  descendant searches (findAllDescendantNodes, findDbDescendants) to
  guard against corrupt parentId references.
- Document why click-catching div has no event bubbling concern
  (ReactFlow renders children as viewport siblings, not DOM children).

Quickstart

Cloud-hosted: sim.ai

Sim.ai

Self-hosted: NPM Package

npx simstudio

http://localhost:3000

Note

Docker must be installed and running on your machine.

Options

Flag Description
-p, --port <port> Port to run Sim on (default 3000)
--no-pull Skip pulling latest Docker images

Self-hosted: Docker Compose

git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Open http://localhost:3000

Using Local Models with Ollama

Run Sim with local AI models using Ollama - no external APIs required:

# Start with GPU support (automatically downloads gemma3:4b model)
docker compose -f docker-compose.ollama.yml --profile setup up -d

# For CPU-only systems:
docker compose -f docker-compose.ollama.yml --profile cpu --profile setup up -d

Wait for the model to download, then visit http://localhost:3000. Add more models with:

docker compose -f docker-compose.ollama.yml exec ollama ollama pull llama3.1:8b

Using an External Ollama Instance

If Ollama is running on your host machine, use host.docker.internal instead of localhost:

OLLAMA_URL=http://host.docker.internal:11434 docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

On Linux, use your host's IP address or add extra_hosts: ["host.docker.internal:host-gateway"] to the compose file.

Using vLLM

Sim supports vLLM for self-hosted models. Set VLLM_BASE_URL and optionally VLLM_API_KEY in your environment.

Self-hosted: Dev Containers

  1. Open VS Code with the Remote - Containers extension
  2. Open the project and click "Reopen in Container" when prompted
  3. Run bun run dev:full in the terminal or use the sim-start alias
    • This starts both the main application and the realtime socket server

Self-hosted: Manual Setup

Requirements: Bun, Node.js v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with pgvector

  1. Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
  1. Set up PostgreSQL with pgvector:
docker run --name simstudio-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password -e POSTGRES_DB=simstudio -p 5432:5432 -d pgvector/pgvector:pg17

Or install manually via the pgvector guide.

  1. Configure environment:
cp apps/sim/.env.example apps/sim/.env
cp packages/db/.env.example packages/db/.env
# Edit both .env files to set DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:your_password@localhost:5432/simstudio"
  1. Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bunx drizzle-kit migrate --config=./drizzle.config.ts
  1. Start development servers:
bun run dev:full  # Starts both Next.js app and realtime socket server

Or run separately: bun run dev (Next.js) and cd apps/sim && bun run dev:sockets (realtime).

Copilot API Keys

Copilot is a Sim-managed service. To use Copilot on a self-hosted instance:

  • Go to https://sim.ai → Settings → Copilot and generate a Copilot API key
  • Set COPILOT_API_KEY environment variable in your self-hosted apps/sim/.env file to that value

Environment Variables

Key environment variables for self-hosted deployments. See .env.example for defaults or env.ts for the full list.

Variable Required Description
DATABASE_URL Yes PostgreSQL connection string with pgvector
BETTER_AUTH_SECRET Yes Auth secret (openssl rand -hex 32)
BETTER_AUTH_URL Yes Your app URL (e.g., http://localhost:3000)
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL Yes Public app URL (same as above)
ENCRYPTION_KEY Yes Encrypts environment variables (openssl rand -hex 32)
INTERNAL_API_SECRET Yes Encrypts internal API routes (openssl rand -hex 32)
API_ENCRYPTION_KEY Yes Encrypts API keys (openssl rand -hex 32)
