Scan the top-level pages or modules Castaly understood before you approve a Build.
Read the Project Graph
The Project Graph is the visual layer of the Project Spec. Instead of reading Markdown, you see the Project as pages, feature groups, features, and build progress.
Use the Graph for day-to-day review. Use the Spec when exact wording, rules, or acceptance details matter.
What the Graph helps you check
Section titled “What the Graph helps you check”Check whether related capabilities sit under the right page or feature group.
Use the Graph to spot gaps, mistaken additions, or unclear structure while the Project is still easy to adjust.
Read each node’s state to understand what is queued, building, testing, done, or blocked.
How the Graph is organized
Section titled “How the Graph is organized”The Graph uses up to three levels:
A user-facing page or major self-contained module in the Project.
A logical section inside a complex Page. Simple pages may not need feature groups.
The smallest reviewable and buildable capability listed under a Page or Feature Group.
Open feature details
Section titled “Open feature details”Click any Feature to open the bottom drawer with its details, in this order:
A one-line explanation of the feature.
Where the feature is defined. Click it to jump to that file in the Spec tab.
A link to where the criteria live in the Spec, so you can check the full requirement.
Shown only when Castaly is waiting on a decision. Reply sends a draft answer back to Chat for you to review and send.
Click an empty part of the canvas to close the drawer.
Reading status on the Graph
Section titled “Reading status on the Graph”Node status shows build progress for a Page, Feature Group, or Feature. It is different from the overall Project status shown in the workspace header or summary bar.
Every node carries one of six states:
Not yet picked up in the current build.
In the Build Plan, waiting its turn.
Being implemented right now.
Implemented and being tested or verified.
Done in this build.
Stuck on a Spec conflict you need to resolve.
Navigate the canvas
Section titled “Navigate the canvas”Page cards sit on a canvas you can pan and zoom.
- Pan by dragging an empty area, or scrolling.
- Zoom with Ctrl/Cmd + scroll, or the toolbar.
- Fit recenters the canvas so all cards are visible.
The Graph fits all cards into view when it first loads.
The summary bar
Section titled “The summary bar”A summary bar runs across the top of the Graph so you can quickly read the Project’s scale and current state.
- Left: structure counts, like
4 pages · 18 features. - Right: the current Project state, like Build ready, Building, or Preview ready.
Next: Understand Recent Changes shows what Castaly just added, updated, or removed.
