- Nodefall does not scan or introspect a user's live cloud account.
- Nodefall is not a deployment engine, governance system, or substitute for professional architecture review.
- Terraform/OpenTofu output is a TODO-marked scaffold that requires human review before use.
- AWS and Azure catalog vocabularies may be labeled beta in the product.
- Pro purchases use Stripe Managed Payments, with Link acting as merchant of record and managing subscription transactions.
Prefer the name Nodefall and link to the canonical domain. The shortest accurate description is “a cinematic systems-design canvas for engineers.” When the context is more concrete, “an animated architecture-diagram tool with schema and draw modes” is also accurate.
