mkconcore loses ZMQ specialization data when multiple nodes reuse the same source file

Hi @pradeeban ,

While exploring the specialization flow of ZMQ in mkconcore , i found that when multiple nodes reference the same script (example: A:common.py, B:common.py, C:common.py) and have different ZMQ edges, the generated specialized file keeps only part of the required PORT_* / PORT_NAME_* definitions.

Why this happens:

• copy_with_port_portname.py generates output by basename only and returns early if that file already exists.
• mkconcore.py runs specialization per node, passing node-level params each time.
• So the first node writes common.py, and later nodes reuse it without merging their edge params.

Impact:

• Valid workflows that intentionally reuse shared script files can run with incomplete ZMQ constants.
• This can cause incorrect runtime wiring even though workflow parsing succeeds.

Hi @pradeeban, I’ve opened a PR #419 for this fix, it updates specialization to merge ZMQ params per shared source script (instead of per node), preventing dropped PORT_* definitions when multiple nodes reuse the same file. Please review when you get a chance. Thanks!
