# Side Panels

##### Inspector / Details

The Inspector (opened via the **Details** side panel) shows everything about the currently selected node.
 It has a **Pretty / JSON** toggle and displays the node's type and status (e.g. *LLM_CALL · COMPLETED*), name, an ownership line (*"in {parent} · Iter N · {duration}"*), a *Final results* block, and collapsible sections. 

User can close it with the **×**.

The panel is read top-to-bottom. There are several sections:

### 1. Format toggle + identity header

At the very top a **Pretty / JSON** toggle switches the whole panel between a human-readable layout (**Pretty**) and the raw payload (**JSON**). Under it is the node's identity:

- **Type badge + status** — e.g. `LLM_CALL` with a green **COMPLETED** pill (other statuses: `RUNNING`, `PENDING`, `FAILED`).
- **Name** — the step's name (e.g. *Thinking*).
- **Ownership line** — The parent name is a link

### 2. Final results

The **Final results** block is the node's output.

- **LLM node** — a quick **Open LLM call → Parsed messages** button that takes you to the full panel, plus short
- **PROMPT** and **RESPONSE** previews. Each preview shows its size and has its own **Pretty / JSON** toggle.

### 3. Timing

**Timing** shows exactly when the step was ran:

- **Started** — absolute clock time plus a relative age
- **Completed** — when it finished.
- **Duration** — how long it took.
- **Progress** — completion percentage (100% for a finished step).

### 4. References

**References** displays the identifiers that tie this node into the run:

- **JOB ID** — this node's own id (the value used in `sel=`).
- **PARENT JOB** — the id of the step that owns it.
- **WORKFLOW** — the trace id it belongs to.

### 5. Tokens 

**Tokens** displays token breakdown that drives cost:

- **Input tokens** / **Output tokens** — the split between prompt and completion.
- **Total tokens** — their sum.
- **LLM requests** — how many model calls this node made.

### 6. Metadata

**Metadata** displays the low-level attributes of the step:

- **State**
- **Type**
- **Class**
- **Package**
- **Owner**
- **Iteration**
- **Status message**

#### Tool I/O
The **Tool I/O** panel shows the input and output of a tool call.

##### Header

The top of the panel names the tool and how the call went:

- the tool's **display name**
- its **type and class**
- a **status** icon and the call's **duration** on the right.

##### Input

The **INPUT** block shows the parameters the tool was called with. Its header carries the payload **size** and a **Pretty / JSON** toggle, then each parameter is listed as a name/value pair.

##### Output

The **OUTPUT** block shows the result. 
Its header also carries the **size** and a **Pretty / JSON** toggle. When the result is structured, Retrax lays it out as **collapsible sections** — so a big response stays readable instead of dumping a wall of JSON.

**User can perform several types of actions:**
1. Select a **tool** node (e.g. *"Get Project Structure"*). The **Tool I/O** button becomes active.
2. Open **Tool I/O**.
3. Read the **input** — the parameters the tool was called with.
4. Read the **output** — the result the tool returned.
5. If a format toggle is available, switch between **Pretty** and **JSON**.


##### Dependencies (Deps)
The **Dependencies** panel reveals scheduling dependencies between nodes. 

**User can perform several types of actions:**
1. Click **Deps** to open the dependencies panel / mode.
2. Find a node marked *"Has scheduling dependencies"* — the indicator confirms it has them.
3. Select a node that has dependencies — its related nodes / edges are highlighted.
4. Select an independent node — no dependencies are shown (empty), confirming it isn't waiting on anything.

##### LLM Call

When user selects an LLM node, the middle side-panel button becomes **LLM call**.

Opening it shows the details of that model call: 
- **model** and provider (e.g. *claude-sonnet-4-6 · BEDROCK*)
- a timestamp
- a status
- a token breakdown
- raw prompt/response.
