 Connections Viewer

+From a given :ref:`glossary:prim`, recursively traverse its upstream :ref:`Connections <glossary:connection>`.
 
-Every node represents a :ref:`glossary:prim` with its name at the top, and each of its :usdcpp:`Inputs <UsdShadeInput>` (dark blue if :usdcpp:`connected <UsdShadeInput::GetConnectedSources>`, otherwise light blue) and :usdcpp:`Outputs <UsdShadeOutput>` (red) below.
+When the prim has :usdcpp:`UsdShadeConnectableAPI` inputs or outputs, connections are followed through the shading API. Otherwise, connections are followed through :usdcpp:`UsdAttribute` connection paths. This includes **OpenExec invertible rigs** (``IrJointScope``, ``IrFkController``, ``IrSwitchController``, and related prims) where animation and controller wiring is authored via attribute ``.connect`` relationships.
+
+Every node represents a :ref:`glossary:prim` with its name at the top (and schema type when available). Ports below represent connected attributes or shade inputs/outputs.
+
+Port colors
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**UsdShade prims**
+
+- :usdcpp:`Inputs <UsdShadeInput>` — dark blue if :usdcpp:`connected <UsdShadeInput::GetConnectedSources>`, otherwise light blue
+- :usdcpp:`Outputs <UsdShadeOutput>` — red (light coral)
+
+**OpenExec / attribute-connected prims**
+
+When schema metadata is available, port colors reflect ``irRole``:
+
+- **InputAttribute** — dark blue if connected, otherwise light blue (controller inputs, wired avars)
+- **OutputAttribute** — red (light coral); computed outputs such as ``out:space`` and ``posed:space``
+- **SwitchAttribute** — gold (switch tokens, rotation order)
+- **PassthroughAttribute** — light gray (passthrough spaces such as ``in:defaultSpace``)
+
+The viewer shows the **authored connection graph** on the USD stage. It does not display the compiled OpenExec evaluation network (that requires C++ ``ExecUsdSystem`` diagnostics today).
