How downstream feeds work
When a distro output is eligible to feed another distro, the planner creates an Auto Source for that output. A compatible child distro can then be assigned to that Auto Source.
Compatibility rules
The planner filters available downstream options to avoid incompatible connector types, duplicated assignments and circular feed loops.
Loop prevention
The editor prevents a distro from being fed by one of its own downstream children.
Load propagation
Loads assigned to a downstream distro are included in the parent output, parent distro and upstream source calculations.
