A node that computes output keys from data through a text transform owns
an implicit contract. When the transform changes, or a library behind it
changes, the field is renamed for every user and nothing fails. The Notion
node hit this when change-case moved from v4 to v5.
Add the derived-output-keys rule to code-health. It scans nodes-base with
ts-morph for `obj[key] = value` and `{ [key]: value }` where the key passes
through a transform such as snakeCase, replace, toLowerCase or a template
literal, and where the written object reaches node output: returned from a
function, pushed onto a returned array, set as `json`, or passed to
returnJsonArray. Values returned from callbacks are followed into the call
that received them, so reduce accumulators are judged by where the result
goes. Request bodies, binary property names, numeric indexes and templates
that only coerce to a string are ignored.
Keys produced by deriveOutputKey from n8n-workflow are exempt: its
strategies are frozen and tested, and the violation message points to it.
The current sites are grandfathered in the baseline, so only new derived
keys fail the check. `--rule=derived-output-keys --ignore-baseline` lists
every site.

What does n8n mean?
Short answer: It means "nodemation" and is pronounced as n-eight-n.
Long answer: "I get that question quite often (more often than I expected) so I decided it is probably best to answer it here. While looking for a good name for the project with a free domain I realized very quickly that all the good ones I could think of were already taken. So, in the end, I chose nodemation. 'node-' in the sense that it uses a Node-View and that it uses Node.js and '-mation' for 'automation' which is what the project is supposed to help with. However, I did not like how long the name was and I could not imagine writing something that long every time in the CLI. That is when I then ended up on 'n8n'." - Jan Oberhauser, Founder and CEO, n8n.io
