Workflow automation engine design

What a production workflow layer must do beyond drawing boxes in a UI.

Core concepts

Human-in-the-loop

High-risk actions (large discounts, regulatory messages, account status changes) should enter waiting_approval with explicit approver roles—not silent auto-exec.

Observability

Every run logs inputs/outputs sufficient for support replay without exposing secrets. Failed runs must be retryable with idempotency keys on external effects.
