repo:node:set
Stage one UTF-8 text value for a node field in the selected local repository.
Reference for flywheel repo:node:set.
Set exactly one node field — title, slug_name, summary, content, origin_host, or external_transcript_ref — from a --value-file containing UTF-8 text. The trimmed text null clears the selected field; this file is not JSON (unlike repo:node:create --values-file). The command uses the current pending graph, so it can edit a node created or changed earlier in staging. Repeat it to correct the pending value before one local repo:commit. Invalid additions preserve the prior batch, and local editing requires neither credentials nor network access.

Examples
Stage one UTF-8 text value for a node field in the selected local repository.
flywheel repo:node:set <node_id> --field=<field> --value-file=<value-file> --format=jsonrepo:node:restore
Stage the restoration of a tombstoned node; retained semantic edges never block it.
repo:node:tombstone
Stage the reversible removal of a node (a later restore undoes it); its history, semantic edges, containment, tags, and attachments stay in the repository. Lineage links must be removed first.
