⚙️ Configuration parameters

Fields shown in the editor when configuring the node. Generated directly from the NodeDefconfigFields.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
`directory` Cartella da monitorare	`directory-picker`	yes	— es. ./watch o /tmp/watch	Cartella nel sandbox del tenant. Path assoluti solo se in FLOWFORGE_FILE_ALLOWLIST.
`glob` Pattern file (glob, opzionale)	`string`	no	— */.csv	Glob standard: ** = ricorsivo, *.ext = qualsiasi nome con estensione, file.txt = solo quello specifico.
`events` Events	`enum` `addchangeunlinkall`	yes	`all`	add = file nuovo creato. change = file esistente modificato (write). unlink = file cancellato. all = tutti e 3 (default). Per ingest pipeline tipicamente serve solo "add" — il workflow gestisce un file una volta sola.
`debounceMs` Debounce (ms)	`number`	no	`500`	Pausa minima tra eventi file consecutivi per evitare burst quando un file viene scritto in più passaggi (download multi-chunk, salvataggio temp+rename). Default 500ms. Se hai upload molto rapidi (< 500ms tra file separati) abbassa a 100-200ms. Hard cap engine 60000ms.
