No Disconnected Shader Nodes

Checks materials for shader nodes that are not connected, directly or indirectly, to an active Material Output node.

Warning Automatic fix: No Settings: Yes Selection: Object

Why this check exists

Removes unused node-tree clutter and makes the material graph easier to understand and maintain; disconnected nodes do not affect the active material output.

Setting	ID	Type	Default	Description
Ignore Muted Nodes	`ignore_muted_nodes`	bool		Do not report muted nodes that are disconnected from the Material Output.
