The previous CSV approach (`batch:toggle:0:plex,sonarr,radarr:jellyfin`) grew linearly and hit the limit after selecting 2-3 containers with typical names. The new bitmap approach (`b:0:1a3:5`) uses a base36-encoded bitmask where each bit represents a container's selected state by its sorted index, keeping callback data under 20 bytes regardless of selection count. + +## What Was Done + +### Task 1: Implement Bitmap Encoding in Batch UI Sub-workflow + +**Commit:** `6364ec3` + +Modified all 8 code nodes in `n8n-batch-ui.json` to use bitmap-encoded selection state: + +1. **Updated trigger schema:** Changed `selectedCsv` field to `bitmap` (string), added `containerIndex` (number) +2. **Added bitmap helpers:** `encodeBitmap()` and `decodeBitmap()` functions using BigInt for >30 container support +3. **Modified callback_data generation:** + -
