The **Shared Values Node** (`SharedValuesNode`) allows independent node graphs across the same project to read global project variables without creating tangled wiring connections.

## 🌐 Global Project Architecture

- **Project Scope**: Shared variables are stored in the project container and can be driven from the Dashboard, Master Faders, or specific master graphs.
- **Multiple Consumers**: Hundreds of nodes across separate graphs can subscribe to the same shared variable simultaneously.
- **Polymorphic Data Types**: Shared values support:
  - **Number**: Single scalar values (`0.0 – 1.0` or raw values).
  - **Sequence**: Multi-element numerical arrays (up to 64 elements) for project-wide procedural patterns.
  - **Number or Sequence**: Polymorphic slot that can dynamically store either a scalar number or an array sequence.
  - **Audio**: Raw audio buffer or spectrum data.
  - **Color**: RGB/HSL stage color values.
