+## Experimental Surfaces
+
+Graph Studio and Prompt Recipe graph execution are available for local workflow building, with a narrower release boundary than the main Studio surface.
+
+- Graph Studio lets you build node-based workflows with media loaders, prompt nodes, model nodes, preview nodes, save nodes, groups, notes, run diagnostics, and reusable workflow templates.
+- Current graph model lanes include image, video, audio/music, Prompt Recipe, and utility nodes where the backend owns validation, pricing, execution, and saved run history.
+- Graph workflows can be saved locally, exported as portable templates, and loaded back into another Media Studio install.
+- Saved workflows are database-backed; browser tab state is only a session convenience layer.
+- Prompt Recipes are a supported data-backed graph surface.
+- End-user custom executable nodes are **not** part of the current release boundary.
+
+Media Studio also now tracks **actual OpenRouter spend** for successful OpenRouter-backed Studio runs. That accounting is shown separately from the KIE credit and USD estimates used for KIE-powered image/video jobs.

 The run scripts start the API and web app together in production mode, check the sibling `kie-api` checkout for new releases, offer a fast-forward update when safe, check the local database before migrations, create a migration backup when needed, refresh shared Python dependencies and the production web build if needed, write runtime logs under `data/runtime/`, wait for readiness, and open Studio.
