Jenkins 3.73.2, Blue Ocean Plugin 1.3.1, Pipeline 2.5
Description
Problem
Sophisticated users of Pipeline want a more usable way to visualize and interact with their Pipelines. Blue Ocean cannot visualise pipelines in a meaningful way to users where there are a large number of stages or parallels.
Goals
- Reduce unnecessarily visualised parallel branches by reserving parallel syntaxes for visualisation and non-visualisation purposes.
- Increase developer satisfaction by making the rules of Pipeline visualisation more consistent and the visualisation usable at any scale.
Original Request
I believe the Pipeline keyword parallel should not be rendered by Ocean View directly respectively in it's on right , but only with transitive dependent Stages. Exception is when there is no stage enclosed by the parallel keyword. Background: since parallel can be used with enclosed stages and not only for the parallel execution of steps, the keyword has moved from being a mere implementation tool to a conceptional one for modeling workflows, this needs to be reflected in the visualization. In the following comments there are some examples, which try to proove the point respectively my expectations.
I am aware that there maybe nesting limitations, respectively how deeply the parallel keyword resp. stages are nested. Here i pratical tread-offs should be made.

I see justification for both argumentations of svanoort and jamesdumay. The difference is a matter of emphasis, priorisations and feasibility. The main point being though what you want to vizualize. And here i my opinion is unchanged. Parallel is a adjective: it's parallel somethings , parallel stages , parallel steps , parallel tasks, parallel processes, whatever... so you want to vizualize stages, steps as node and additionally the fact that they are parallel in ralation to other stages , tasks. You do NOT what to vizualize parallel as a node itself, which is want currently is happening in Ocean View.
