3. Node Execution Manager Class

• Design the node execution manager class (responsible for executing nodes in order, considering dependencies)
• Implement basic execution flow for nodes
• Handle node execution errors and propagate them
• Add support for parallel execution if needed
• Add unit tests for node execution manager

4. Visualize Node Output

• Define standard output formats for nodes (text, table, chart, image, etc.)
• Implement visualization components for each output type
• Integrate output visualization into node UI card/panel
• Add an option to toggle output visibility
• Display error/warning if output is not available

Additional Suggestions
