To set up a freeform canvas, start a session and mutate the current canvas using MCP tools in draft mode, adding machines and wiring VLANs before applying changes. This enforces a draft and apply plan lifecycle for controlled deployment prototyping.

Yes, you can swap plugins and adjust plugin configurations to test different setups on the canvas. Changes are validated against platform schemas as part of the draft and apply plan lifecycle before you finalize the architecture.

The draft and apply plan lifecycle is a controlled workflow that requires you to stage machine additions, VLAN wiring, and plugin swaps in a draft state before applying them. This ensures all canvas mutations are validated against platform schemas.

Yes, you need access to the Rogue Arena MCP hub to wire VLANs, add machines, and run validation checks. The hub provides the necessary MCP tools to enforce the draft and apply plan lifecycle and validate changes against platform schemas.

Canvas validation fails when swapping plugins if the new configurations do not match the platform schemas enforced by the MCP hub. You must resolve these schema validation errors in draft mode before applying the plan to the canvas.

The best way to run validation checks is to use the MCP tools within the freeform canvas draft mode to validate connectivity, firewall rules, and plugin configurations against platform schemas, ensuring deployment readiness before applying the plan.
