# DESIGN-0.35.0 — Workflow Product
Transforms the workflow engine from a linear stage-runner into a
product-grade automation tool. Seven changesets covering conditional
routing, AI-triggered routing, data pipeline hooks, progressive forms,
conditional fields, structured review, and a monitoring dashboard.
Depends on: v0.34.0 (Data Portability), v0.31.2 (Team Workflows),
v0.29.0 (Starlark Sandbox).
## Schema Changes
Migrations modified in-place (DB rebuild required):
**005_channels.sql** — add `stage_entered_at` (PG: `TIMESTAMPTZ`,
SQLite: `TEXT`). Tracks when the current stage was entered for SLA
computation. Also add index `idx_channels_workflow_active` on
`(workflow_id, workflow_status)` for monitoring queries.
**018_workflows.sql** — add `sla_seconds INTEGER` to `workflow_stages`.
Add `review_comments` (PG: `JSONB DEFAULT '[]'`, SQLite: `TEXT
DEFAULT '[]'`) to `workflow_assignments`.
No new migration files. No new tables.
## Conditional Routing Engine
**File:** `server/workflow/routing.go`
The existing advance logic hardcoded `nextStage = currentStage + 1`.
The routing engine replaces this with condition evaluation:
1. Parse `transition_rules.conditions[]` from the departing stage
2. Evaluate each condition against accumulated `stage_data`
3. First match → resolve `target_stage` (by name or ordinal)
4. No match → fallback to `ordinal + 1`
**Expression format:** `{field, op, value, target_stage}`. Operators:
`eq`, `neq`, `gt`, `lt`, `gte`, `lte`, `in`, `contains`, `exists`,
`not_exists`. Loose equality via `fmt.Sprintf("%v")` comparison.
Numeric comparison extracts `float64` from both sides.
**Wiring:** `ResolveNextStage()` called in all 4 advance sites:
handler (`workflow_instances.go`), tool (`tools/workflow.go`), forms
auto-advance (`workflow_forms.go`), Starlark module
(`sandbox/workflow_module.go`).
**Backward compatible:** no conditions = `ordinal + 1`.
## AI-Triggered Routing
**Tool:** `workflow_route` — persona calls with `{target_stage, reason}`.
Uses `ResolveStageByName()` (case-insensitive). Records decision in
`stage_data._route_history_latest`. Allows forward and backward jumps
(loop stages for iterative correction).
**Starlark:** `workflow.route(channel_id, target_stage, reason)` for
extension-driven escalation patterns. Requires `workflow.access`.
## on_advance Hook
**File:** `server/handlers/workflow_hooks.go`
Fires synchronously after `AdvanceWorkflowStage` succeeds. Configured
per-stage in `transition_rules.on_advance: {package_id, entry_point}`.
Hook receives: `{stage_data, previous_stage, current_stage, channel_id}`.
Returns: `{stage_data: {...}}` (enriched), `None` (no change), or
`{error: "msg"}` (logged, not rolled back — future: rollback support).
The existing `http` Starlark module (v0.29.1) is available in hooks,
enabling external API enrichment without new infrastructure.
## Progressive Forms
**Model:** `TypedFormTemplate.Fieldsets []FormFieldset` — optional
array of `{label, fields[]}`. When present, top-level `fields` is
replaced by flattened fieldset fields in `ParseTypedFormTemplate()`.
**Frontend:** `workflow.html` renders one fieldset at a time with
step indicator, next/back navigation. All fields submitted together
on the final step.
## Conditional Fields
**Model:** `FormField.Condition *FieldCondition``{when, op, value}`.
Operators: `eq` (default), `neq`, `in`, `exists`.
**Server-side:** `ValidateFormData()` calls `evaluateFieldCondition()`
before each field. Hidden fields are skipped (no required check, no
type validation).
**Client-side:** `workflow.html` attaches `change`/`input` listeners
to source fields. Target fields toggle `cond-hidden` CSS class.
## Structured Review
**Review comments:** `review_comments JSONB` on `workflow_assignments`.
`POST /workflow-assignments/:id/comment` appends `{text, user_id,
created_at}`. `GET /workflow-assignments/:id` returns full assignment.
**Review surface:** Side-by-side layout in `workflow.html` — left panel
shows structured `stage_data` table (internal `_`-prefixed keys hidden),
right panel has comment textarea + approve/reject buttons. Keyboard
shortcuts: `Ctrl+Enter` approve, `Ctrl+Shift+Enter` reject.
## Monitoring Dashboard
**File:** `server/handlers/workflow_monitor.go`
**Endpoints:**
- `GET /admin/workflows/monitor/instances` — all active instances
- `GET /admin/workflows/monitor/funnel/:id` — stage counts
- `GET /admin/workflows/monitor/stale?threshold_hours=N`
- `GET /teams/:teamId/workflows/monitor/instances` — team-scoped
**SLA computation:** `stage_entered_at + sla_seconds` vs `NOW()`.
Returned as `sla_remaining_seconds` (negative = breached) and
`sla_breached` boolean. Computed at query time, not stored.
**Store:** New `ListByType(ctx, "workflow")` method on `ChannelStore`
(both PG and SQLite). Monitoring queries iterate active channels,
joining workflow definitions and stage metadata.
**Frontend:** `src/js/workflow-monitor.js` — auto-refresh every 30s,
SLA color indicators (green > 50%, yellow > 20%, red), stale instance
alert section.
## Workflow Branding
`WorkflowPageData.BrandingJSON` passes the workflow's `branding` JSON
to the visitor template. Applied as:
- `--accent` CSS custom property (from `accent_color`)
- Logo image in header (from `logo_url`)
- Tagline text below header (from `tagline`)
Previously branding was only on the landing page; now also on the
active workflow surface.
