 ### 2026-07-22 | Frontend | Editierbares Branding — public settings endpoint vor Auth nötig
 Der Admin-Settings-Endpunkt (`GET /api/admin/settings`) erfordert `global_admin`-Auth. Die Login-Seite benötigt den App-Namen aber vor dem Login. Lösung: eigener öffentlicher `GET /api/admin/branding`-Endpunkt ohne Auth-Dependency, der nur `app_name` + `app_subtitle` aus `system_settings` liest. Frontend: `useBranding()`-Hook via React Query mit 5-min-Stale-Time — Query-Key `['branding']` wird nach dem Speichern aus dem Admin-Panel invalidiert, damit Sidebar und Login-Seite sofort aktualisieren.

+### 2026-07-22 | Workflow-Editor | Blueprint-Workflows waren nach jedem Speichern read-only
+`canonicalize_workflow_config` in `workflow_config_utils.py` hat bei jedem Aufruf Configs mit `ui.blueprint` (z.B. `still_graph_reference`, `order_rendering`) und `ui.preset == "still_graph"` auf das kanonische Template zurückgebaut — alle Node-Parameter-Änderungen und Strukturänderungen des Users wurden lautlos verworfen. Das betraf Update, Preflight und Execution-Dispatch gleichermaßen. **Lösung:** Parameter `preserve_user_graph: bool = False` — bei `True` werden die Rebuild-Blöcke übersprungen; nur Basic-Normalisierung läuft. `update_workflow`, `_workflow_to_out`, Preflight und Execution-Dispatch rufen jetzt mit `preserve_user_graph=True` auf. `create_workflow` bleibt bei `False` (Blueprints werden beim Erstellen korrekt expandiert).
