Nextflow: source pattern map

This is the source-facing map for Nextflow-to-Galaxy conversion patterns. Use it when the source evidence is a Nextflow channel shape or operator idiom rather than a Galaxy operation.

The Galaxy pattern library remains the implementation layer. Source-pattern pages should explain what the converter saw in Nextflow, then link to the Galaxy patterns that implement or approximate that source idiom.

Intended operation or recipe pages

Metadata contract

Each source-pattern page should list the Galaxy implementation pages in implemented_by_patterns. That field is machine-validated to resolve only to type: pattern notes.

Use review_triggers when the Nextflow idiom has semantics Galaxy cannot preserve automatically: unmatched join keys, duplicate keys, remainder, arbitrary tuple records, per-element dynamic branching, or filesystem-specific publishDir layout.
