Mindmap outline batch workflows
Mindmap outlines accept two explicit dialects, and each top-level item becomes a separate root. ATX headings use # for roots, ## for branches, and up to ###### for deeper nodes. Indented outlines make each level exactly two spaces deeper; a line may begin with - or * , and an unbulleted nonempty line is also accepted. Do not mix dialects in one outline. Blank lines are ignored. Invalid headings, odd indentation, jumping more than one level, or reaching depth 64 fails before creation, and the error identifies the offending line number. Labels and the 2,000-node limit still apply.
Use create_mindmap_from_outline to turn a conversation, meeting record, or brainstorm into a complete map in one atomic operation. create_mindmap also accepts an outline for compatibility, but hierarchy must never be placed in description; a multi-node outline-shaped description is rejected before skeleton creation. Use add_subtree to attach one or more top-level outline items beneath an existing parentId, such as expanding a branch. These batch actions are preferred to repeated add_node calls.
replace_outline accepts a forest with multiple top-level roots. It deletes every existing node, then creates new nodes and IDs. This destructive rebuild requires user confirmation. The service records checkpoints immediately before and after replacement, so product version history can restore document content later, but the old node IDs do not return.
The top-level outline string from get_mindmap_as_outline is a lossy labels-and-hierarchy projection. The same response also includes a complete mindmap.nodes array with node IDs and full node fields, so use those nodes for live readback or a local edit that must preserve rich content. Feeding only the outline string into replace_outline still creates new IDs and erases color, icon, styles, images, linked notes, collapsed state, layout side, and manual offsets.
