for the curious

You don’t need to read this. Tiny Command auto-maps every field into the visual picker so downstream nodes can pull values by clicking. We show it here for power users who want to know what’s on the wire.

  "event": "activity.create",
  "athlete_id": 67890,
  "activity_id": 12345678
