nodes.createFlowchart
Create visual flowcharts with nodes and edges to map processes, decisions, and workflows for clear documentation and analysis.
Instructions
Create a flowchart with nodes and edges on the canvas. Returns nodeIds mapping for subsequent modifications via nodes.updateFlowchart.
Nodes: { id, name, shape?, color? }
shape: rounded (default), diamond (decisions), pill (start/end), cylinder (database), parallelogram (I/O)
color: CSS name (blue, green, red, amber) or hex. Use red for problems, green for success.

For decisions: fromHandle "right" for Yes/true, "bottom" for No/false
