Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the diagram editor's connection handling and the message definitions used for type inference. Done means incompatible connections produce warnings and compatible connection options are communicated to users.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently the diagram editor allow users to connect any outputs to any inputs, even if they aren't compatible. It would be good if we can add message type inference to the UI and provide warnings when a user has an incompatible connection, and/or provide hints about which connections are compatible.
