● Service connections: Same connection type (kind=service) where consumer's {connection-name}-request/{connection-name}-response
  queues = provider's request/response queues

  Flow connections: Same connection type (kind=flow) where they share the exact same queue value

  Passive connections: Same connection type (kind=passive) where consumer's single queue value = provider's response queue value




Interfaces...

  1. Look up the interface name in the service map's interfaces definitions
  2. Check the kind:

  2. If kind = "flow":
    - The flow class specifies a single queue string
    - Example: "entity-contexts-load": "persistent://tg/flow/entity-contexts-load:{id}"
    - To connect: find any processor that produces/consumes this exact queue

  If kind = "service":
    - The flow class specifies request/response queues
    - Example: "agent": {"request": "non-persistent://tg/request/agent:{id}", "response": "non-persistent://tg/response/agent:{id}"}
    - To connect: find any processor whose request/response queues match these
  3. The interface definition provides:
    - Documentation (description)
    - Validation (ensuring correct structure based on kind)
    - Visibility hints (for UI purposes)

  So the interfaces are essentially the "public API" of a flow class - they declare which standard connection points this flow class
  exposes, and other components can connect to these standardized interfaces without knowing the internal implementation details.
