Alex Langenfeld d864efb07b test: tighten CI health signals (#4107)
## Summary & Motivation

- Manifest coverage now declares an entry for every matrix app, uses real Vitest skips instead of silent early returns, and fails when a targeted app's manifest is missing, unknown, or unparseable.
- Retries are scoped to deployment e2e runs (`DEPLOYMENT_URL` set), so a flaky unit or integration test can no longer be hidden by a second attempt.
- The stop-workflow cookbook parks on a sleep between iterations, giving the hook an observable barrier to race instead of a fixed delay, and the AbortController hook test waits on queue state rather than a 10ms timer.
- The world-postgres direct-storage fixture drives its run to a terminal state so the conformance worker doesn't recover and replay an unregistered workflow.
- Generated e2e result sidecars are ignored and the committed copies removed; they're CI artifacts, not fixtures.

## Test Plan

Existing coverage runs in CI. With retries disabled: the cookbook agent suite passed 8/8, the two stop-workflow tests passed 10/10, and the AbortController hook replay test passed 25/25 under `CI=1`. The manifest suite skips 52 apps explicitly when nothing is built, and fails on unknown or missing targeted apps. The Docker-backed Postgres spec could not run locally (Testcontainers found no container runtime); `@workflow/world-postgres` typechecks.

Nathan Rajlich e1e64e3de3 docs: apply Vercel technical writing standards (#3704)
* docs: apply Vercel technical writing standards

Audit the complete documentation corpus, package READMEs, skills, and
source TSDoc/comments against the vercel-technical-writing skill and
style-rules.md. Normalize sentence-case headings without changing
published anchors, remove prose em dashes and filler wording, improve
active voice and self-contained phrasing, standardize product/brand
capitalization, American English, list punctuation, units, and code
fence languages, and preserve exact runtime strings/table placeholders.

All executable code is unchanged. Modified skills have their metadata
versions bumped.

* docs: extend writing audit to repository Markdown

Apply the same technical-writing rules to design documents, compiler
specifications, workbench guides, package changelogs, and the remaining
tracked Markdown outside the deployed docs corpus. Preserve historical
meaning, commands, output literals, table placeholders, and heading
anchors.

* docs: exclude generated package changelogs from audit

Peter Wielander c431cc18fd [e2e] Add blocked-branch scenario to the event-log race repro (#3696) 2026-08-20 12:41:57 -07:00
Nathan Rajlich 5b5a926f88 fix(core): make step-argument serialization failures catchable in workflow code (#3675)
* fix(core): make step-argument serialization failures catchable in workflow code

A step whose arguments fail to serialize is now finalized by the
suspension handler as step_created + step_failed (mirroring a step-body
failure) instead of rejecting the whole suspension. The next replay —
forced in-process, since no step message is dispatched for the failed
step — rejects the step's promise with the SerializationError, so a
try/catch around the step call observes it. Uncaught, the error
propagates out of the workflow body and fails the run as a fatal
USER_ERROR immediately, instead of redelivering the orchestrator
message until max deliveries (49/48) as reported in production on v4.

* Serialize the step_failed error with the VM global; one-sentence changeset

Addresses review feedback: dehydrateStepError in
finalizeUnserializableStep now receives suspension.globalThis like every
other dehydration in this file. Error detection is realm-independent, so
the host-created SerializationError serializes identically, but VM-realm
values guest code threw into the cause chain are now detected by the
realm-sensitive reducers.

* Address review: QuickJS engine support, deferred-batch join, drain gate, placeholder marker, telemetry, docs

- QuickJS: dumpPendingOps now catches a step input's serialization
  failure per-op, reframes it as a SerializationError with the same
  framed message as dehydrateStepArguments, and surfaces it on the
  pending op instead of failing the whole collection. The entrypoint's
  dispatchPendingOps finalizes such steps as step_created (placeholder
  input) + step_failed, excludes them from inline claims and queue
  publishes, marks them handled, and raises the requeue signal so the
  failure is observed even when the feed lags — mirroring the node:vm
  engine, so both engines agree: catchable in workflow code, USER_ERROR
  with the framed message when uncaught. Both step-argument e2e tests
  now pass on WORKFLOW_VM=quickjs.
- runtime.ts: the failed-step replay path now joins
  suspensionResult.deferredBatchWork before continuing, so a trailing
  chunk commit or step-message publish rejection propagates instead of
  being swallowed after ack; committed inline claims are documented as
  deliberately handed to owned recovery.
- Terminal drain: finalization is gated on a stepDispatch target. The
  drain caller has no replay to observe a finalization, so a completed
  run no longer gains failed-step rows for an unawaited unserializable
  step — the rethrown error is swallowed by the drain's catch,
  preserving its pre-existing behavior.
- The placeholder input now carries a marker string ('[input
  unavailable: step argument serialization failed]', shared via
  runtime/unserializable-step.ts) so inspect/o11y don't render the
  failed step as a genuine zero-argument call.
- New workflow.steps.failed_serialization span attribute on the
  suspension span, so occurrence is measurable without log search.
- Docs: v5 serialization-failed error page documents where each
  boundary's failure surfaces (catchable step failure vs run failure)
  and the no-retry USER_ERROR semantics; foundations/errors-and-retries
  gains a Serialization Failures section with the try/catch shape.

* Guard the finalization crash window; self-contained docs samples

- A crash or transient failure between finalization's two durable
  writes leaves a lone placeholder step_created, and redelivery then
  dispatches the step through normal crash recovery — previously
  running user code with the placeholder arguments. The placeholder
  now carries a structural flag on the input triple's top level (which
  user code never controls, so no false positives), and the step
  executor checks it after hydration: instead of running the body, it
  throws the intended fatal SerializationError, completing the
  interrupted finalization as step_failed. Applies to both engines
  (they share the placeholder and the executor).
- Regression tests: executor fails a placeholder-input step without
  running the body (and doesn't trip on a genuine argument equal to
  the display marker); handleSuspension rejects for redelivery when
  step_failed can't be written after step_created landed, leaving the
  recoverable placeholder behind; mixed bad-step + large fan-out
  returns the failure set alongside still-pending deferredBatchWork
  whose rejection surfaces — the contract the runtime's failed-step
  join (added previously) relies on.
- Docs: the two new code samples are now self-contained so the docs
  code-sample typecheck passes.

Alex Langenfeld 8789f4529b [e2e] Host the abort-fetch slow endpoint inside the step (#3618)
The abort-fetch tests cancelled an in-flight fetch against external slow
endpoints (postman-echo, httpbin /delay/10, tried in order). Those
upstreams 5xx and return early from GH Actions runners often enough to
be a recurring flake class - the tests were measuring the public
internet instead of abort propagation - and heavier suite load (e.g.
re-enabling e2e concurrency, #2083) makes both upstreams flake at once.

fetchWithSignal now hosts its own slow endpoint: an in-process node:http
server on a loopback ephemeral port that holds each response open for
~30s. The subject is unchanged - a real in-flight HTTP fetch cancelled
mid-flight - with no external dependency. The 30s hold keeps regression
detection honest: broken abort propagation surfaces as natural
completion (ok: true) within the tests' 60s budgets.

A per-workbench /api/delay route was rejected earlier because it would
only exist on whichever workbench it was added to; the in-step server
travels with the workflow fixture to every app.

Shalabh Chaturvedi ec709ba533 [world-sim] Remove mint-ordered log (#3544)
Since we're moving to server side serialized ids, we dont need to
simulate the prior model.

## Summary
- remove the mint-ordered simulation mode and reservation API
- make commit-time log positions and lagging-prefix reads the only
simulator behavior
- simplify CI, scenarios, tests, and documentation to the single log
model

## Testing
- node --check on changed TypeScript files
- pnpm --filter @workflow/world-sim test (blocked: node_modules is
absent; vitest unavailable)

Alex Langenfeld af91cc2582 bench: per-chunk stream latency (CRTT/CDV) and replay-driven stream scenarios (#3393)
## Summary & Motivation

- **CRTT (chunk round-trip time)** — per-chunk write→read latency for a
paced stream, aggregated inside the reader step on the deployment (one
clock domain) into a fixed log-bin histogram plus index buckets and
mean-RTT profiles over stream progress and chunk size. Fills the gap
between SL (first chunk only) and SO (whole-stream throughput), where a
mid-stream delivery regression was invisible. It is deliberately a
*round*-trip name: the future production one-way write→read metric is
CTT, with its own skew caveats.
- **CDV (chunk delay variation)** — inter-arrival gap minus inter-write
gap per seq-adjacent pair, so each gap subtracts same-clock stamps and
the stat stays skew-free and measurable in production later. Reported as
each run's max positive value, since a 1-in-300 delivery stall dilutes
out of pooled percentiles.
- **Replay scenarios** — two real captured cadences (eve envelope
protocol via gpt-5.6-sol; raw gateway SSE via gpt-5.4-nano) replayed
through the same rig on an absolute open-loop schedule, so the workload
is measured rather than invented; the 2x speed multiplier is the only
chosen number, and matches how real fast-tier models behave (same chunk
sizes, compressed time). Each capture carries a semantic sha256 over
canonical `(offsetMs, bytes)` tuples so durabench's independent copy can
be checked for drift.
- **Streams table** — stream scenarios render in their own table with
writer/reader sustained rates, CRTT percentiles, and median worst stall.
No pass/fail targets yet: numbers and vs-main deltas only.
- **SL/SO report rows retired** — CRTT's seq-0 slice reproduces SL and
its aggregate reproduces SO's signal at ~100x the samples; write slip
stays as artifact-only data, the only guard for producer stalls that
neither CRTT nor CDV can see.

## Test Plan

- [x] Unit tests for the bucketing/merge/CDV helpers and the renderer;
the full benchmarks job ran green against real preview deployments, and
the first Streams numbers separated workload strain (eve 2x: read 173 <
write 181 c/s, CRTT p75 1278ms) from the transport floor (the paced
control and the 1x reality row both clean).

Shalabh Chaturvedi b7591fbf21 sim-world - deterministic scenario testing for race conditions (#3328)
* Add world-sim: a deterministic simulation World for concurrency scenarios

`@workflow/world-sim` is an in-process World implementation whose point is
that nothing in it races. Every world call is a stoppable point with
`before`/`positioned`/`after` phases, every call is attributed to a writer
(orchestrator, a named step body, or an out-of-band external client), and
the clock is virtual — a thirty-day sleep costs no wall time. A scenario
script says "stop this writer here, do that, let it go", so an interleaving
that a real deployment leaves to chance becomes something you can name.

The model follows workflow-server where it matters:

- Event ids are minted at the handler boundary, not at storage append.
  DynamoDB does not generate ids, so the server does, in the request
  handler — and that id is the log's sort key. This is what makes "earlier
  log position, later commit" expressible, and it is the hazard the fence
  scenarios are about.
- The out-of-band write marker is keyed on the event's own ULID time and is
  forward-only, over `hook_received`, `step_completed` and `step_failed`.
- Both halves of the staleness fence are modelled behind flags: the
  watermark (`preconditionGuard`) that clients send today, and the count
  (`countGuard`) that they do not. The count is synthesized on the caller's
  behalf and keyed by run rather than by writer, since an orchestrator and
  its inline step bodies are one process sharing one loaded log.

`workbench/sim-world` is the scenario book — 39 of them, each a workflow
plus a script. Several are pinned corruptions rather than passing
assertions: they record what the runtime does today, so that a change in
behaviour shows up as a diff. The doc-29/30/31 trio is the argument for the
count guard, one flag apart: (B, A, C) corrupts under the watermark alone,
is fenced once the count is on, and (B, C, A) corrupts with both on. That
last one suspends mid-run on purpose. The fence is a conditional append
evaluated inside the storage write, so there is no checked-but-uncommitted
moment to slip past; the window nothing can close is the quiescent gap
between deliveries, where the run makes no writes and so meets no checks.

Both packages are private and unpublished, so no changeset.

* Add the new sim-world workspaces to the lockfile

Kept separate from the source commit because it is not a clean diff. The
two new importers are the part that belongs to this branch; the rest is
re-resolution churn from running `pnpm install` at a later date than
whoever last touched the file — `latest` specifiers like docs' `radix-ui`
move on their own. Drop or regenerate this commit if the churn is
unwelcome; the source commit stands on its own.

* Make a consistency violation fail the scenario that tripped it

`expect.violations` let a scenario declare the corruption it reproduced and
pass for reproducing it. That is a green suite describing a broken system,
and it goes red on the day someone *fixes* the bug — backwards, and the
opposite of what a test is for.

The field is gone. A scenario now states the outcome the run should have
reached, which for a corruption means the branch its own durable log
implies, and stays red until the runtime gets there. Any violation fails the
scenario. The six reproductions read as ordinary failures now:

  expected output "afterSlow:doc-26", got "afterFast:doc-26"

Six scenarios are therefore red, and `run.ts` exits non-zero. The count is
the signal: seven is a regression, five means something was fixed and a
scenario is ready to retire. Five of the six have known fixes — four predate
the count guard, and doc-29 goes green the moment a client sends
`stateEventCount`. doc-31 has none, which is the point of it.

* Document the world-sim implementation in DESIGN.md

Folds the working notes into a checked-in design doc: module map, the
runtime model the simulator has to match, the interception model and its
three call phases, the determinism machinery, the store's guards and
fault injection, the writer vocabulary, the termination budgets, both
consistency checkers, and current test status.

Links it from both READMEs, and updates the workbench's doc-31 note now
that the append-tail fence it needs exists as a proposal.

* Say which fix closes each red scenario, and which are demonstrated

The fix column read "predates the count guard" on three rows, which scans as
"the count guard is involved" when it meant the opposite. It was also wrong on
one: `two racing STEPS, no hook anywhere` cannot be fixed by anything predating
the count guard, since the row below it is that same fault with
`preconditionGuard` on and failing identically.

The column now names the specific change, and a second column separates a fix
that is argued for from one that is shown — a passing scenario that is the red
one with the fix armed, same tempo, one flag apart. Two of the six have that;
three name a fix with no paired scenario yet; doc-31 has none.

Also states the thing the column could imply but does not mean: `countGuard`
requires `stateEventCount`, which no client sends, so three of the five
identified fixes are dark in production.

* Give scenarios stable ids, refer to events by log position, add colour

Four changes to make a rendered scenario something you can cite and read.

Scenario ids. Every scenario gets a hyphenated `id` next to its prose name —
`in-flight-after-decision`, `stale-read-step-count-fork`. The name is a
sentence and will be reworded; the id is what a commit message, a bug report
or `pnpm sim <id>` refers to. The runner matches the id first and falls back
to the name, so existing invocations keep working, and the table of the six
red scenarios in DESIGN.md now cites ids.

One reference scheme. Events were referred to three ways at once: the trace
printed raw correlation ULIDs, violation messages carried `evnt_<ulid>` event
ids, and the docs spoke of "position 7". Now there is only log position. `#12`
is the twelfth event in the durable log sorted the way `events.list` sorts it,
`@7` is the resource created at position 7, and ids inside violation messages
are rewritten on the way out.

That numbering is deliberately in *log* order while the trace prints in
*commit* order, which makes the subject of the red scenarios visible on the
page: a run whose log disagrees with the order its writers committed in shows
positions counting backwards.

Colour, by event family, and only when the destination is a terminal. Off
under `NO_COLOR` or `--no-color`, forced on with `--color`. With colour off
the output is the same plain ASCII, so it stays usable as a golden file.

The workflows under test are now one file. Nothing imported across them and
scenarios read them alongside the tempo that steers them, so five modules were
a two-file hop for no benefit.

Unit tests 61/61. Scenario book unchanged at 33 passed, 6 failed.

Co-Authored-By: shalabhc <shalabh.chaturvedi@vercel.com>

* Add an append-only log world, and split the book into one file per scenario

Three things the book could not do before.

`appendOnlyLog` gives an event its log position at *commit* instead of when
its handler minted one. That is the single change that makes a stale read
impossible — the log can be behind, never wrong — so playing the same 39
scenarios with and without it is how you tell which of the six reds the change
would actually close. All six: 33 pass / 6 violations mint-ordered, 39 pass /
0 violations append-only. It bundles two effects that have to move together:
an overtaken write re-mints at the tail, and a withheld read returns a prefix
rather than a hole, which is why `onStaleRead` now carries `{eventId, hidden,
truncated}` and the trace distinguishes a lagging read from a stale one.

`preconditionGuard` on `RunScenarioOptions` forces the fence off across the
book, asking whether anything relies on it. Violations 6 -> 8 mint-ordered, so
it is load-bearing there; 0 -> 0 append-only, so it is dead weight once
positions are assigned at commit. Both flags are tri-state: `undefined` leaves
it to the spec, which is not the same as `false`.

The scenario book was a 1020-line file; it is now 39 files and an index that
only decides reading order. Same 39 ids. This is the whole answer to "how do I
add a scenario" — copy the file next door — and it is why the README can be
short. Three `in-flight-*` scenarios are reworded so that no expectation is
restated per world: a scenario is one sequence of movements, the only thing a
world changes is what a read returns, and what catches the fault in both is
the invariant that a run's log must replay back into that run.

Also: `loadFlowHandler` moves out of `build.ts` into `load.ts`, so playing
scenarios no longer drags SWC and esbuild into the module graph; the CLI gains
`--report-only`, `--summary-file` and `--detail-file` for CI, with the default
still exiting non-zero; and the workbench's `test` script points at
`--report-only` so a recursive `pnpm -r test` does not go red for the six.

Docs are split by task: the workbench README is how to add a scenario, and the
package README plus DESIGN.md are how to change the simulator.

* Publish the scenario book from CI, without blocking a merge

Plays the book on every pull request, once per log world, and posts both
summaries as one sticky comment.

It never gates. Six scenarios are red on purpose — each is a reproduction of a
corruption the runtime can still produce, stating the outcome its own durable
log implies and staying red until the runtime gets there — so a lane that
failed on them would be red on every PR and read as broken rather than as
informative. What it publishes is the pair of counts, and the thing to look at
is whether they still say 33/6 and 39/0. A seventh red is a regression; five
means something got fixed and a scenario is ready to retire. The append-only
column is the measurement the pair exists for: it says which of the six would
close if positions were assigned at commit.

Non-blocking at the job level rather than only on the two sim steps, so that a
failed install or a PR comment the token cannot write does not turn this into
a red X either. The steps themselves keep their real exit codes, so the run
still says which world was clean.

`--title` is new on the CLI: two summaries land in one comment, and two
headings reading "world-sim scenario book" would leave the chips line as the
only way to tell them apart.

* Make the Sim World comment four lines until you open it

Two collapsed folds, one per world, each with its count and a green or orange
dot on the visible line; the table is behind them. Nothing else above the fold.

The failures list is gone. Six scenarios are red on purpose, so a comment that
led with them led with the part that was not news, and grew a wall of text on
exactly the PRs that changed nothing. The count is the signal — and anyone who
wants the names can open the table, which has always had them.

`renderMarkdownSummary` now renders no heading of its own, since it is built
to be stacked under one; the workflow supplies the heading and the one-line
description. `mdCell`, `clip` and `dedupe` existed only for the failures table
and go with it.

* docs(sim-world): drop the six-red list, add an API reference

The "six red scenarios" section was a second copy of something `pnpm sim`
already prints exactly, and the copy that goes stale. What replaces it says how
to read a red — an open bug stating the outcome its own durable log implies,
green when fixed rather than when seen again — and points at DESIGN.md for the
part that is not re-derivable from a run.

The reference has three tables. Writers: what a concurrent thread of execution
is here, and the four ids one can have. Movements: the instruction that moves a
writer to a place and holds it, described against the world boundary, the
position in the event log, and the commit to storage — three moments, which is
why there are three stops rather than one. Withholdings: the two ways to change
what a reader sees without holding anybody.

Terminology unified on hold/held (the word `Held` and the trace already use)
and on "assigned a position in the event log" / "committed to storage", which
also fixes the `runToEventProduced` docstring: the event has crossed the world
boundary there, so "submitted" was the misleading half.

* docs(sim-world): move the API reference into the package, uniform vocabulary

The reference documents `@workflow/world-sim`, so it belongs beside the API and
not in the workbench that happens to be its first caller. It replaces the old
`## Writers` section, which said most of the same things in a different order
and a different vocabulary.

Three nouns, one meaning each. A *writer* is a thread of execution — the table
lists all three kinds with the handle that names each and the events each one
writes. An *advance* moves one writer to a named place and holds it; the three
`runTo*` stops are the three moments a write has (crossed the world boundary,
assigned a position in the event log, committed to storage), which is why there
are three rather than one, and the table says which way a concurrent commit
sorts at each. A *withholding* hides something from readers without holding
anybody, which is what `withholdNextEvent` and `beginHookDelivery` have in
common and why the latter is not an advance.

"Movements" is gone in favour of "advances", which the code and the older prose
already used. "Held" replaces "stopped"/"paused" throughout, matching `Held` and
`isHeld()`.

The workbench README loses the duplicate tables and keeps the four rules that
bite on a first scenario, so it is a guide to adding one and links out for the
rest.

* docs(world-sim): rename "Two logs" to "World behaviors", one-line motivations

The section described two logs, but there are four world behaviors a scenario
can pick between: the two log orderings and the two guards. Renamed and
regrouped so each one is described by what it does rather than by which of the
current reds it closes.

Measured counts and "production" / "what happens today" framing are out of this
README throughout — they belong to a run of the book, and a doc that carries
them is stale the first time a scenario changes colour. The workbench README
and the CI lane still print them, where they read as measurements.

Every section's motivation is one line; the file-top motivation is unchanged.

* docs(world-sim): Usage shows both halves — the workflow and the script

The example was a script with no workflow beside it, which hid the fact that
you write both. Replaced with the smallest pair that has something to control:
two steps in flight at once, and a script that decides which of them reaches
the log first.

The scenario in it was run before it was written down — `prepare` held before
it takes a position, `finalize` committed into the earlier slot, #6 then #7 —
so the positions the prose cites are the ones the trace prints.

Link to the workbench moved to the end of the section, where it reads as
"where to go next" rather than as an aside mid-example.

* docs(world-sim): say what "arm" meant instead of using the word

The READMEs told a reader to arm a wait without ever saying that calling an
advance and awaiting it are two separate things. That is the whole mechanism —
`runTo` registers its watch synchronously when called, and the returned promise
only reports arrival — so it is stated plainly once in Advances and the jargon
is dropped everywhere it stood in for the explanation.

"Armed" survives only where it means a guard is switched on, which is a
different word doing a different job.

* docs(world-sim): two symmetric watches in the Usage example

The example started one watch and awaited the other inline, which is exactly
the shape a reader cannot generalise from — it looks like the two calls do
different things. Both are now started, then both awaited, so the sentence
above the block and the code below it say the same thing.

Re-run before committing: same log, finalize at #6 and prepare at #7.

* docs(world-sim): neutral names in the Usage example

`prepare` / `finalize` / `held` / `committed` made a reader decode four
domain-ish names to see a mechanism that has nothing to do with any of them.
stepA and stepB, watchA and watchB: the only thing left to notice is that the
two watches stop at different points, which is the whole lesson.

This detaches the example from the workbench's `parallelStepsWorkflow`, so it
was verified against a throwaway copy of the workflow rather than assumed —
same shape, stepB at #6 and stepA at #7, replay ok.

* refactor(world-sim): one event fold, two call phases, a smaller entry

Three reductions to the same end — less surface to keep consistent — with
the scenario book as the check that none of them changed behaviour.

**One fold.** `create` validated *and* applied an event in a 17-case switch;
`foldSeededEvent` applied it again in 15 cases without validating. Two copies
of the event -> entity state machine that only a replay compares, and any
divergence between them makes a replay disagree with the run it is checking
for a reason that is not the runtime's fault. Both paths now end in one total
`applyEvent`: the write path validates first and calls it, `seedFromLog`
calls it with no validation at all, because those events were accepted once
already and re-litigating them would reject legitimate history. store.ts
loses 175 lines. Characterization tests for the seeded path went in first and
were confirmed to bite before the refactor started.

**Two phases.** `CallPhase` had a `positioned` phase between `before` and
`after`, and `runToPositionMinted` / `runToCall` to park on it. Nothing in the
book used any of the three: the mint/commit gap they existed for is reached
through `beginHookDelivery`, which owns both halves explicitly and does not
block the writer that made the write. Removing the phase also removes an
`await` from the interception path, so this was measured rather than reasoned
about — all four book runs are unchanged.

**A smaller entry.** `index.ts` re-exported the construction kit —
`createSimWorld`, `createSimStore`, `driveQueue`, `verifyReplay`,
`checkInvariants`, the clock — which nothing outside the package imports and
which made every one of their signatures a compatibility promise. The entry
is now the scenario surface; extenders import from the module. `InFlightWrite`
joins it, having been missing though `beginHookDelivery` returns it.

Unchanged, and the point of saying so: 33/6/6 mint-ordered, 39/0/0
append-only, 8 violations with `--no-fence`, 0 with both. 70 unit tests green
(up from 67), tsc and biome clean in both workspaces.

* fix(world-sim): follow the new event-result contract

Rebase fixups for four core replay commits, no behaviour change of our own.

`EventResult` is now a union — a populated page (`events` + `cursor` +
`hasMore`) or all three absent — so the three fields cannot be assembled from
three independent variables the type has no way to see agree. They travel as
one `deltaPage` object, spread as a whole or not at all. The spread has to be
conditional rather than optional: `...maybe` widens each field to `T |
undefined`, which is neither arm.

`processExitTriggersQueueRedelivery` is gone from the `World` interface —
#3385 stopped exiting on an exhausted replay budget, so there is nothing left
to tell it not to.

The book is unmoved across the rebase, which is the thing worth reporting:
33/6/6 mint-ordered, 39/0/0 append-only, 8 violations with `--no-fence`, 0
with both — and the same six ids red, not a swap that nets to the same count.
70 unit tests green.

* feat(world-sim): a scenario for the unclaimed-payload delivery race

Reproduces vercel/workflow#3406 as a pair of scenarios. A hook payload
nobody reads registers an unarmed delivery barrier, and a step result is
allowed to skip it — otherwise the workflow stalls until the barrier
registry idles. The skip is transitive, so the step also skips an armed
`wait_completed` merely parked behind that payload. Both branches then
draw their next `step_created` id in the order the log does not record.

The replay invariant cannot see this: live and replay run the same code,
make the same mistake, and agree. What is checkable is the log
disagreeing with itself — `wait_completed` is committed first, yet the
step branch draws the earlier id. Verified red on the current runtime
and green with #3406's diff applied.

`claimed-payload-under-fork` is the control: same steps, same tempo,
same log order through the step result, one branch awaiting the hook so
the payload lands claimed. It passes in both cases.

Getting there needed one new primitive. The delivery loop is serial, so
a held inline step body stops the loop inside its own delivery and no
timer can fire — every interleaving where a `wait_completed` lands while
a step result is outstanding was unreachable. `sim.deliverQueued(select?)`
takes a message out of the pending set and delivers it from the script,
concurrently with the hold; `takeById` removes it first, so the loop can
never pick up the same message.

The book is now 41 scenarios: 34/7 with 6 violations mint-ordered,
40/1 with 0 violations append-only. The six violation reds and the
--no-fence 6 -> 8 / 0 -> 0 measurements are unchanged. The new red is
the first that stays red in both worlds, because no log position is
wrong in it.

* fix(world-sim): address review on the simulation world

Fifteen findings from review, and one measurement that moved because of
them.

Correctness:

- tempo: `abort()` stored the raw `reject` rather than the wrapper that
  also disposes the watch, so a point reached after teardown blocked a
  world call on a promise nobody could release. The deadline is one-shot
  and already spent by then, so that is a hang. Route abort through the
  disposing path and make the action a no-op once aborted.
- world: `externalDepth` was a plain counter, so a step body writing
  concurrently with a scripted `deliverHook` was attributed to the
  script — invisible to any armed `runTo`, and `ext` in the trace.
  Measured: one misattribution book-wide. Scope it with
  `AsyncLocalStorage` instead.
- writers: `runToEventCommitted` matched a *rejected* create, so in
  fence scenarios a script could wake believing a write was durable when
  it had 412'd. Record `failed` on the observed point and require
  `failed: false`.
- clock/ids: reject fractional `advanceBy`, and floor in `ulid()` — a
  fractional millisecond silently minted `undefinedundefined…` ids that
  failed much later at `z.ulid()`.
- streams: literal NUL bytes as key separators, `limit: 0` paging
  forever, and a garbled cursor slicing the array away as `NaN`.
- scenario: register the handler under the exported
  `WORKFLOW_QUEUE_PREFIX`.

The count guard, which is the substantive one. Since #3145 `@workflow/core`
sends `stateEventCount` on every replay-context create and the server's
count guard defaults on, so the sim's "no client sends the count" claim
was stale in six places. `countGuard` now follows the fence, the sim
prefers the runtime's own count over its reconstruction, and the two
scenarios whose subject is isolating the watermark half say
`countGuard: false` explicitly. The scoreboard does not move under the
production-shaped default, which is itself the answer to the review's
question.

`log.monotonic-order` could never fire: its only caller fed it the sorted
array. It now takes commit order, supplied only by a world that promises
the two agree — under a mint-ordered log an out-of-order commit is the
premise the scenario injected, not a defect.

Docs: DESIGN §5 gains the two ways the sim's guards are stronger than
production's (FIFO-vs-mint-order pruning, and a fence that is exact
in-process where production's is region-local and fails open); §9's
scoreboard is regenerated and its "no fix armed anywhere real" claim
corrected; §10 gains the parallel hook-resume path, which no sim delivery
takes. `step-vs-step-fork` and its twin now say who the withheld reader
is in production.

`unclaimed-payload-under-fork` is green after the rebase — #3406 fixed
the delivery-barrier ordering — so the book is back to six reds and
stays there. Counts refreshed everywhere they appear: 35/6/6
mint-ordered, 41/0/0 append-only.

* fix(world-sim): make the README's code samples type-check

`packages/docs-typecheck` globs `packages/*/README.md`, so the new README
went into the Docs Code Samples job and five of its `ts` blocks failed.

Four were genuine excerpts with an unbound `sim` or `spec`; one was a match-
object *sketch* containing a `…`, so not TypeScript at all — that one loses
its `ts` tag, joining the eleven other untagged blocks in the file.

The rest name what they use. That needed two `paths` entries in the checker:
`@workflow/world-sim` was unmapped, and an unresolved import is deliberately
tolerated there (`isExpectedMissingModule`), so every identifier in those
samples was `any` — they would have gone green while checking nothing.
Mapped, they are checked against the real declarations: seeding `id: 12345`,
`readyAtMsTYPO`, `dirsTYPO` and `runToEventCommittedTYPO` is caught against
`ScenarioSpec`, `PendingMessageView`, `SimBuildOptions` and `Writer`.

The lead teaser keeps its four unadorned lines and takes a `@skip-typecheck`
marker instead; the same calls appear in full, checked form further down.

* Harden the WS events transport and gate its e2e jobs

Follow-ups from review of the WS transport.

CI: `e2e-vercel-ws-transport` was wired into the `summary` job but not
into `e2e-required-check`, so all three WS jobs could fail while the
required check stayed green. Added to both branches of the status
validation — including the `workflow-server-test` label branch, where
the job runs under the same gating as `e2e-vercel-prod`.

Transport:

- `reqId` and the pending-reply map are now per connection rather than
  per transport. The protocol defines `reqId` as a per-connection
  counter, so a reconnected socket restarts at 1; with one shared map
  that collided with the previous socket's still-registered waiters.
  It also makes the superseded-socket guard structural instead of
  something the close path has to remember.
- Post-open socket errors are no longer silent. The only `'error'`
  listener closed over the connect promise's `reject`, already settled
  once `'open'` fired, so every broken pipe / 1009 / protocol fault was
  swallowed and its requests hung with no per-request timeout to save
  them. Now logged, and the connection is torn down.
- An unexpected close reconnects eagerly instead of waiting for the next
  write, since a socket breaking mid-run means more writes are coming.
  Bounded by exponential backoff, an attempt cap that falls back to
  lazy reconnect, a bail-out when a newer socket is already live, and an
  `unref()`ed timer so a backoff window can't delay handler exit.
- `ws.send()` failures reject their request. `send()` doesn't throw on a
  non-OPEN socket — it reports through a callback we weren't passing —
  so the request just sat in `pending` forever.
- The reserved `reqId: -1` malformed-frame reply and undecodable frames
  are logged loudly instead of dropped.
- Auth headers resolve once per socket via a thunk, not once per event.
  The bearer only rides the upgrade, so the old code awaited
  `getVercelOidcToken()` on every write and discarded all but the first.
  Re-resolving on reconnect also means a new socket gets a fresh token.

Adapter: a reply with no numeric status now fails closed. Defaulting to
200 reported a write as applied whenever the client met a frame it
didn't understand — and the protocol is explicitly designed to grow new
response variants.

Tests: 24 new unit tests over the paths the e2e suite can't reach on
demand (send failure mid-flight, error after open, late close from a
superseded socket, reconnect backoff and give-up, sentinel/undecodable
frame logging, one-token-per-socket) plus the adapter's fail-closed and
typed-error mapping.

* ci: re-trigger to confirm the prior e2e failures were flake

No code change. The 5 failures on 0bb21e7 clustered in a ~20s window
across HTTP-path jobs (example/nuxt on the same test, sveltekit on a
timeout) and one WS job (sleepingWorkflow's clock-skew assertion), which
points at the environment rather than the transport changes. Re-running
to confirm.

* Add WS wire-contract conformance tests and pin the transport gate

Three gaps in the existing coverage.

**The HTTP path was already covered** — `events-v4.test.ts` has 22 tests,
including five directly on `createWorkflowRunEventV4` over HTTP (alias
URL, frame meta contents, response decoding, skipPreload/stateUpdatedAt
forwarding). Those run with the gate unset, so they do confirm the
two-branch refactor didn't disturb HTTP. No new tests needed there.

**But nothing pinned the gate itself.** Every HTTP assertion stays green
if the default flips to WS, because the transports are built to be
indistinguishable at the result layer — and an earlier revision of this
branch did flip the default deliberately, for benchmarking. Added tests
for `isWsEventsTransportEnabled()` across values, and one that drives a
real HTTP request through a MockAgent while asserting the WS transport is
never constructed.

**Nothing verified the bytes.** `ws-transport.test.ts` replies with
whatever the test hands it, which proves the client's lifecycle but not
that its frames are what workflow-server accepts. That's the drift the
spec doc exists to prevent, and it already happened once: event meta flat
on the frame where the server wanted it nested under `event`, with both
sides' tests passing.

`ws-protocol-conformance.test.ts` pairs the real client stack (through
`createWorkflowRunEventV4`) with a fixture mirroring the server route's
per-message handling: decode one frame, validate against a local copy of
`WsRequestFrameSchema`, dispatch, encode the reply the way `replyMeta`
does. `experimental_upgradeWebSocket` needs a real Vercel runtime, so the
socket is faked — everything above it is genuine.

Covers: the frame shape the server accepts (and that `reqId`/`type`/
`runId` don't leak into the event meta), payload passthrough, exactly one
frame per message, 409 → the same typed error HTTP raises, fail-closed on
an unknown reply variant, and reqId correlation across concurrent writes.

Plus golden byte fixtures, since the schema copy is the one thing here
that can silently drift. This is the "golden-frame interop test" the
server spec lists as an open gap; the matching half still needs to land
in workflow-server.

Verified the conformance suite is not vacuous: flattening the client's
frame meta fails 5 of its tests.

* match the HTTP RetryAgent's transient-failure policy on WS

HTTP event writes go through an undici RetryAgent (RETRY_AGENT_OPTIONS):
5xx and transient connection errors are retried in-process, honoring
Retry-After. The WS path never touches undici, so it shipped with no
transient-failure handling at all — a single 503 or a mid-write reset
surfaced straight to the step runtime and cost a whole step retry where
HTTP would have absorbed it in milliseconds.

That gap is invisible in a passing test run: writes still succeed, they
just cost far more. So copy the policy rather than reinvent it —
[500, 502, 503, 504] plus transport failures, undici's default backoff,
Retry-After honored, and 429 deliberately excluded for the same reason
RETRY_AGENT_OPTIONS excludes it (a firewall challenge this client cannot
solve, which in-process retries only amplify).

Adds WsTransportError so retryability is a typed property of the failure
rather than something the adapter infers by string-matching. Splits
resolveWsTransport()/wsReplyStatus() out of postEventFrameOverWs so the
retry loop stays readable.

The existing "fails closed on an error frame" test used status 500,
which is now absorbed by the retry — switched to 403 so it keeps
testing fail-closed rather than accidentally testing no-retry.

* lazy-load `ws` so the default HTTP path never evaluates it

events-v4.ts imports ws-transport.js unconditionally — the transport
gate is a runtime branch, not a build-time one — so a top-level
`import { WebSocket } from 'ws'` put `ws` and its optional native
accelerators on the module-init path of every deployment, including the
overwhelming majority that never opt in and never open a socket.

Defer it to the first connect, memoized as a promise so concurrent
first connects share one import. WebSocket.OPEN becomes an inlined
constant so the readyState check doesn't pull the module in just to
read it off the constructor.

This does NOT remove the need for the bufferutil/utf-8-validate
externals this branch also adds: webpack and Rollup both statically
follow a dynamic import(), so the build-time story is unchanged. What
it buys is that a deployment which never enables the transport never
*evaluates* `ws`, so a mis-bundled accelerator can't break it.

The test lives in its own file because vitest caches a vi.mock factory
result for the life of the module registry — once any test in a file
has connected, the factory never runs again and the counter can't
distinguish "loaded lazily" from "loaded at import".

* release idle WS transports instead of renewing them forever

The transports map was never pruned and WsEventsTransport had no way to
close. Combined with eager reconnect that made a connection immortal by
construction: the server drains at its own maxDuration and closes, the
client immediately reopens, and the server pins a fresh invocation — for
a run that finished long ago. A warm container ended up holding a live
socket, and a live server invocation, for every runId it had ever
served. workflow-server#683 already lists "one invocation stays resident
per run rather than per write" as a known gap; this made it "per run,
forever".

Add close() plus a 60s idle release. There is no "run complete" signal
to hang teardown off — the events adapter is a stateless per-write call
— so idleness is the available proxy. 60s sits well below the server's
~680s drain deadline, so the client releases rather than the server
reclaiming, and well above the gap between steps of an active run.

scheduleReconnect() now bails when closed: close() closes the socket,
which fires the same close handler an unexpected drop would, and without
the guard the transport would instantly reconnect what it just released.

request() revives an idle-closed transport rather than failing the
write, re-registering itself only if nothing newer has claimed the map
slot. Eviction therefore costs one handshake, not an error.

* refresh the bearer on an auth_expiry drain

workflow-server#683 tags a drain frame with why it is closing:
max_duration means the socket aged out and a plain reconnect is right,
auth_expiry means the *bearer* ran out and reconnecting with the same
one just earns a 401. This client logged the drain and ignored the
reason, so against #683 an auth_expiry drain would burn all five
reconnect attempts against a token the server had already rejected, then
give up.

Parse the reason (absent reads as max_duration, so this stays correct
against the currently-deployed server) and thread forceRefresh through
the getHeaders thunk, which triggers @vercel/oidc's refresh path via a
wide expirationBufferMs.

Worth being precise about when that can actually help. getVercelOidcToken
resolves getContext().headers['x-vercel-oidc-token'] ?? env, and
refreshToken() only writes the env var — the request-context header
wins. So inside a deployed function there is genuinely no fresher token
mid-invocation and the refresh is a no-op; outside one (CLI, local dev,
a long-lived server) it works.

That makes the guard the load-bearing half: if the re-resolved bearer is
byte-identical, decline to reconnect, say so, and wait for the next
write — which usually arrives on a new invocation carrying a new token.
That failure is marked non-retryable so the retry loop doesn't spin on
it either.

* document the WS path's instrumentation gap

The HTTP branch goes through fetchV4 -> instrumentedFetch, which is not
just a fetch wrapper: it opens the OTEL CLIENT span, injects trace
context, sets the cache-bust header, emits the DEBUG logs, and routes
through the global fetch that Vercel's observability "outgoing requests"
view instruments. The comment on fetchV4 records why that matters —
bypassing it via undici.request() is exactly what once made v4 event
traffic disappear from the log viewer.

The WS branch bypasses all of it. With the flag on, per-event writes
have no client span, propagate no trace context to workflow-server, and
don't appear in the outgoing-requests view; the server's own
transport-tagged request metrics are the only remaining signal.

That's acceptable for an opt-in POC behind a flag and unacceptable as a
default, so write it down where someone deciding to flip the default
will read it: instrumenting the transport is a prerequisite for that,
not a follow-up nicety.

* ship the ws-accelerator externals instead of documenting a workaround

`bufferutil` and `utf-8-validate` are optional native accelerators for
`ws`, and neither is installed by default. Every bundler has to be told
to leave them alone, for two different reasons: Rollup/Vite/Nitro fail
the build outright (`Could not resolve "bufferutil" imported by "ws"`),
while webpack bundles the JS wrapper without its native `.node` binding
and throws `bufferUtil.mask is not a function` at runtime.

The webpack half shipped in `@workflow/next`. The Rollup half only
existed in `workbench/vite` and `workbench/tanstack-start` as
`nitro.rollupConfig.external` — app configs, not shipped code. So a real
user of `@workflow/vite`, `@workflow/nitro`, `@workflow/nuxt`,
`@workflow/sveltekit` or `@workflow/astro` hit the same build failure the
workbench had already worked around, and had to rediscover the fix.

Fix it where it propagates: `workflowTransformPlugin` in
`@workflow/rollup`, which all of those integrations already install. It
is already the home of exactly this pattern for the optional
`@opentelemetry/api` peer, so this sits next to its closest precedent.

Note the treatment is deliberately the inverse of the OTEL one, which is
externalized only when it *can't* be resolved. The OTEL API must load
for tracing to work, so a self-contained output has to bundle it when
present. These accelerators must specifically NOT load — they are a
performance nicety with a correct try/catch fallback in `ws` — so
unconditional external is both simpler and safer than risking a
half-bundled native module.

The two workbench configs drop their local copies, which is what proves
the shipped fix actually works rather than being masked by them.

* one retry policy for both transports, and no unanswerable waiters

Two review findings on the WS events transport.

**Retry belongs to `event-retry.ts`, not the adapter.** The WS path had its
own retry loop, justified as mirroring undici's `RetryAgent`. That
justification was wrong: `RetryHandler` defaults `methods` to GET/HEAD/
OPTIONS/PUT/DELETE/TRACE and nothing overrides it, so the `RetryAgent` never
retried an event POST on either transport — which is precisely why
`event-retry.ts` exists.

Worse, that loop sat *inside* `withEventPostRetry`, so it defeated a
compile-checked safety gate: `EVENT_RETRY_ELIGIBILITY` marks `step_started`,
`step_retrying` and `hook_received` non-retryable (a replayed `step_started`
double-increments `attempt`), and those frames were re-sent up to five times
before the gate ever saw a failure. For eligible types the two loops
multiplied: 3 outer attempts x 6 inner, with an inner backoff reaching 30s
against an outer base deliberately set to 100ms.

`postEventFrameOverWs` now makes one attempt and translates failures into the
vocabulary that policy already speaks — a transport failure becomes a
`WorkflowWorldError` with `code: 'TRANSPORT'`, exactly as `utils.ts` does for
a failed `fetch`, and `isRetryableEventPostError` gains one clause keyed on
that code. `WsTransportError` loses its `retryable` flag; its only consumer
was the deleted loop.

Two deliberate consequences. The code-keyed clause broadens HTTP in-process
retry to `UND_ERR_CONNECT`, `UND_ERR_CLOSED` and `EAI_AGAIN`, which were in
utils.ts's transient set but missing from event-retry.ts's — two
hand-maintained lists collapsed into one semantic code. And the stale-token
case (drain for auth expiry, refresh yields the same bearer) now gets two
in-process attempts that cannot succeed, ~300ms before it falls through to
queue redelivery; that is cheaper than keeping a WS-specific policy alive for
one call site. `TIMEOUT` is deliberately not in the clause: utils.ts maps a
caller-supplied `AbortError` onto it, and a cancelled write must not be
re-issued.

A status-less reply also stops being a bare `Error` — as one it failed
`WorkflowWorldError.is()` and surfaced a protocol version skew as a
USER_ERROR. It is now `code: 'PARSE_ERROR'`, the same code utils.ts uses for
an unreadable HTTP body, and for the same reason: the write may or may not
have landed.

**No waiter is left unanswerable.** An undecodable frame, the server's
malformed-frame sentinel (`reqId: -1`) and a non-numeric `reqId` were logged
and dropped. None can be correlated by construction, so the request that
provoked them stayed in `pending` with nothing in existence able to settle it
— freed only by the server's own drain (~680s from connect), typically past
the invocation's `maxDuration`. Each now fails the connection: every waiter
learns why, and the socket is replaced. A reply for an id nobody is waiting
on stays log-and-drop, deliberately — that request already settled, so
nothing is orphaned, and failing the socket would punish healthy in-flight
writes.

A per-request deadline backs that up for whatever is left, including a server
that accepts a frame and never answers it. Same knob as the HTTP path
(`WORKFLOW_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS`, 60s), whose doc comment already describes
this exact hang-to-SIGTERM pathology.

One existing idle-teardown test needed the deadline raised: the idle window
and the default deadline are both 60s, so a request could not outlive the
former without also outliving the latter. The test is about `inFlight > 0`
suppressing the teardown, so it now sets the deadline out of the way.

* Open the ws socket when the invocation starts, not on its first write

Lazily connecting bills the whole handshake — an upgrade round-trip plus the
OIDC token mint that rides it — to whichever event a fresh invocation writes
first. When that is a `step_started` issued as the step body is already
running, the event's server-recorded timestamp lands later than the work it
describes: the step looks shorter than it was. That is the shape of the e2e
timing failure on this branch, where a 9s step measured 6.5s from
`getStepMetadata().stepStartedAt`.

The queue handler is the earliest point that knows the run id, and a message
delivered for a run means writes are coming, so `warmWsEventsTransport` starts
the handshake there. By the first write it is done or in flight, and the write
just uses it.

Nothing about it is load-bearing:

- It doesn't await, and can't fail the handler. A warm that fails logs and
  stops — a never-opened first connect is precisely the case `connect`'s close
  handler already declines to retry, so no backoff loop starts for a run that
  may never write. The first real write connects as it would have anyway,
  carrying the shared retry policy.

- No-op unless `WORKFLOW_EVENTS_TRANSPORT=ws`, and no-op for the api-workflow
  proxy World, which can't serve an upgrade at all — the same fallback the
  write path takes.

- Warming arms the idle timer as if a request had settled, so an invocation
  that warms and never writes (a health probe carrying the run id it is about
  to create) releases its socket on the usual 60s rather than stranding it.
  The socket is not `unref`'d, so a stranded one would hold this process and a
  server invocation open.

Also closes a race that warming makes reachable: `close()` can only drop the
connection it can see, so a release landing mid-handshake left the socket to
install itself afterwards onto a transport already evicted from the cache,
which nothing would then ever close. The `open` handler now declines to adopt
a socket whose transport was released while it was connecting. This was
already reachable via the eager reconnect path, just much harder to hit.

Comments were 47% of the file. Cut the historical narration, the
restatements of adjacent code, and the repeated rationale (the `unref`
reasoning appeared four times, per-connection reqId three), keeping the
non-obvious facts: `ws.send()` reports failure via callback instead of
throwing, reqId is per-connection so `pending` must be too, the
unknown-reqId case is deliberately non-fatal, the auth_expiry same-token
bail-out, and why the idle timeout exists at all.

No code changes.

* own transport selection in the transport module

`events-v4.ts` was assembling the WS transport itself: reading the opt-in
flag, resolving the URL, deciding which Worlds can use a socket, minting the
per-connection header thunk, and holding the two once-per-process log latches.
None of that is about turning an event into a frame, which is what the rest of
that file does. Move it next to the socket it configures — `events-v4.ts` now
consumes one seam (`resolveWsTransport`) plus the gate, and `queue.ts` gets
`warmWsEventsTransport` from the module that owns the warm.

`headersToRecord` now lives in `http-core.ts` because both callers need it and
neither may import the other: `events-v4` already depends on the transport, so
the reverse edge would be a cycle.

Test fallout, and the reason the move is worth it: `events-v4-ws.test.ts`
mocked `getWsEventsTransport` to observe the resolve step, which no longer
intercepts anything now that the call is intra-module — an ESM mock replaces a
module's exports, not its own call sites. That mock's tests were only ever
about selection, so they move to `ws-transport.test.ts`, where the real
selection code runs against the existing fake-socket harness instead of a
stub. `resetWsEventsTransportsForTest` clears the log latches so the
once-per-process assertions don't depend on test order. What stays behind
mocks `resolveWsTransport` and covers what that file is actually for: reply
frame in, `Response`-shaped result out — including the null-resolve fallback to
HTTP, which nothing covered before.

* import `ws` statically

The lazy `import('ws')` was there to keep the package off the module-init path
of deployments that never opt in — `events-v4.ts` imports this module
unconditionally, since the transport gate is a runtime branch. Measured, that
buys ~17ms: `require('ws')` is 16.5-18.0ms cold, 13 modules, and neither
`bufferutil` nor `utf-8-validate` loads (optional peers, absent by default).
Bundle size is identical either way — webpack and Rollup both statically follow
a dynamic `import()`, which is why the externals in `@workflow/builders` are
unaffected by this change.

For 17ms it cost a memoized promise, an inlined `WS_READY_STATE_OPEN` (so a
readyState check wouldn't force the module to load just to read a constant off
the constructor), and a whole test file — `ws-transport-lazy.test.ts` had to
live alone, because vitest caches a `vi.mock` factory result for the lifetime
of a module registry, so only a file that connects exactly once can observe
the laziness at all.

It also skewed the thing this branch exists to measure. The import lands inside
the first connect, so on a warm container it is billed to whichever event write
opens the socket, inflating the timestamp of the step it labels — the same
distortion the queue pre-warm was added to remove.

Also drops `WS_READY_STATE_OPEN` in favour of `WebSocket.OPEN`, now that
reading it is free.

* tighten the comments on the ws transport

Comments only — no code changes in this commit.

Cuts ~150 lines of prose across the WS additions. The rule applied: keep the
design factors a future reader needs (why the connection is scoped to a run,
why a bad reply takes the socket down, why the accelerators are externalized
unconditionally, why `TIMEOUT` is excluded from the `TRANSPORT` classification)
and drop the narrative of how the code got here — which revision did what, what
an earlier attempt got wrong, what was measured on the way. That history lives
in the PR and the git log, where it doesn't have to be re-read on every visit
to the file.

Biggest reductions: the retry essay above `postEventFrameOverWs` (30 lines to
11), the flag's OTEL-gap note (34 to 13), the OIDC refresh explainer (26 to
14), the accelerator rationale in `@workflow/builders` (26 to 14), and the
conformance suite's header (28 to 17).

* inject W3C trace context on the ws upgrade

Frames carry no headers, so the upgrade is the only place this transport can
propagate context; the server parents a run's event spans to whichever
invocation opened the socket. Covered in trace-propagation.test.ts, both with
and without an active span.

Splits the opt-in gate into an import-free ws-transport-enabled.ts so callers
can answer it without loading this module (used by the next commit).

* load the ws transport module only when it is enabled

Both call sites read the gate from the import-free module and dynamically
import ws-transport.js behind a true result, so a deployment on the HTTP
default never pays ws's ~17ms of module init. The queue pre-warm absorbs it
for one that opted in, keeping it off the first event write.

Co-Authored-By: shalabhc <shalabh.chaturvedi@vercel.com>

* correct why the ws accelerators are externalized

No bundler fails the build on the unresolvable require — verified against
Rollup 4.62. webpack half-bundles the native module and Vite substitutes a stub
that makes the require succeed; both leave bufferUtil.mask undefined and throw
only once a frame reaches the native masker at 48 bytes, which every CBOR event
frame does. Same claim was repeated in the rollup plugin and its test.

* trim the WORKFLOW_EVENTS_TRANSPORT docs to user level

Mirrors the other Vercel World env vars: same facts on both pages, each in its
page's format. The instrumentation and socket-lifetime detail belongs in the
code, not in a user-facing reference.

Co-Authored-By: shalabhc <shalabh.chaturvedi@vercel.com>

* cover the vite bundler in the ws transport lane

Vite substitutes a stub for ws's absent native accelerators rather than failing
the require, so nothing catches it until a masked frame reaches 48 bytes — and
this job's three existing lanes are esbuild, turbopack and nitro.

Co-Authored-By: shalabhc <shalabh.chaturvedi@vercel.com>

* claim only what is measured about rollup and the ws accelerators

The rationale asserted plain Rollup was "safe by accident" via a mechanism
only ever observed in a minimal repro. Nitro traces and externalizes `ws` in
a production build, so the bundled path is not reached there at all.

* Give the events socket an explicit lifetime instead of an idle timer

`openWsChannel` / `closeWsChannel` bracket one invocation of the flow
route, and are the only calls anywhere that create a channel. Writes ask
`resolveWsTransport` whether one is open — a lookup now, never a create —
and take pooled HTTP when it says no.

That removes the reason the idle timeout existed. A lazily-created socket
has no owner, so a timer was the only thing able to end it, and the socket
is not `unref`'d: the process could not exit, and a server invocation
stayed pinned, for the full window past the last write.

It also settles `run_created`. The trigger path opens no channel, so a
lone write no longer pays for a handshake it cannot amortize — `start()`
runs in an arbitrary request handler with no boundary the SDK can see.

Refcounted rather than a flag: inline step executions ride the flow topic
on per-step topics, so a run's steps can be concurrent invocations in one
instance sharing the channel, and the first to finish must not cut the
others short. A failed connect closes the channel so the invocation's
writes fall back to HTTP instead of each paying its own doomed handshake.

* Name the one reply header the WS path does not map

The server copies six headers into an `event_ack`'s meta and this record
maps five. The sixth, `X-API-Deprecated`, is inert today — the v4 route's
middleware chain has no deprecation middleware to set it — but the record
is the only header source a WS reply has, so an unmapped key is gone
rather than merely unread, which is not true of the `Response` the HTTP
path returns.

* docs: note that WORKFLOW_EVENTS_TRANSPORT=ws is ignored on the proxy path

* ci: gate the ws-transport e2e lanes on a label

Three real `vercel deploy`s per run is too much to charge every
unrelated PR in the repo for a transport that is off by default. PRs opt
in with `ws-transport-test` (or `workflow-server-test`, which already
exists to test the half of this the protocol lives in); main keeps the
signal on every commit.

The required aggregate has to allow the lane to be skipped in that case,
so its status is asserted only when the lane was actually supposed to
run.

* chore: regenerate pnpm-lock against current main

main resolved `ws` to 8.20.0 as a transitive peer; this branch adds it
as a direct dependency of world-vercel and floats it forward, which
rewrites every `openai@x(ws@y)` peer key in the lockfile. Merging main
textually combined the two, leaving those keys pointing at a `ws` entry
the merged file no longer had — `--frozen-lockfile` then failed with
ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_MISSING_DEPENDENCY on the PR's merge ref.

Regenerated from main's lockfile so ours is a minimal delta on top of it.

Co-Authored-By: shalabhc <shalabh.chaturvedi@vercel.com>

* fix(world-vercel): align ws on the version main already resolves

The lockfile broke on the PR's merge ref, not on this branch's head: main
resolves ws@8.20.0 as a transitive peer, and a `^8.21.1` direct dep here
floated it forward, rewriting all 73 `(ws@8.20.0)` peer keys. Git merged
the two lockfiles without a conflict but left main-side keys pointing at
a ws entry the merged file no longer had, so `--frozen-lockfile` failed
with ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_MISSING_DEPENDENCY.

`^8.20.0` resolves to the copy main already has, so the lockfile delta is
the two importer entries instead of a repo-wide rewrite that re-breaks
every time main moves. Also keeps one ws in the store rather than two.

Co-Authored-By: shalabhc <shalabh.chaturvedi@vercel.com>

* Bind the channel release to the instance it claimed

closeWsChannel resolved the transport by URL, but the refcount lives on
the instance. A channel is evicted from the map as soon as it closes — a
refused upgrade does that on the connect path — so the next opener for
the same run registers a different instance under the same URL, and the
first invocation's close then decremented that one instead. It dropped a
socket a live invocation was still writing over, and for the event types
EVENT_RETRY_ELIGIBILITY marks non-retryable there is no second attempt to
carry the in-flight write over HTTP.

openWsChannel now returns an idempotent release closed over the transport
it incremented, and queue.ts holds that instead of re-resolving the run.
The close awaits the open's own promise, so it also can no longer land
ahead of the claim it releases.

Also names the scope of the connect-failure de-opt: it covers the
handshake only, so a channel that connects and then fails every write
keeps taking the WS path.

* Decode a transport result, not a Response

Main extracted the v4 POST decode into a helper typed `Response` while this
branch narrowed the POST result to `FrameResponseLike`, because the WS branch
synthesizes its result rather than holding a real `Response`. The two merge
without a textual conflict and then fail to typecheck.

Widen the helper: it reads only the two members `FrameResponseLike` declares,
and a `Response` still satisfies them, so the HTTP call sites are unchanged.

* Reconcile the WS transport with main's v4 POST rework

main moved the materialized POST result off the `x-wf-*` response headers
and onto a typed CBOR body, and added a second response shape: two callers
now POST with `Accept: application/vnd.workflow.v4-frames` and read back a
sentinel-terminated sequence of frames.

A frame stream has no representation in a protocol that pairs one reply
frame with one request frame, so the WS switch moves off the shared poster
and onto `createWorkflowRunEventV4` alone — the materialized write, which is
the hot per-step path this branch exists to shorten. `run_started` and the
`hook_received` preload stay on HTTP.

`decodeCreateEventResponse` takes `FrameResponseLike` rather than `Response`
because the WS branch has none to hand over; a real `Response` satisfies the
interface, so the HTTP callers are unchanged. The ids now come out of the
CBOR body, so `replyMetaToHeaderRecord` no longer maps any `x-wf-*` name —
only the two headers `errorFromV4Response` reads.

  { type: 'replay' }, deleting the runtime invariant throw and
  runWorkflow's dead branch
- isSameSuspensionBoundary reduced to the steps-array comparison (all
  suspension counts are derived from steps in the constructor)
- runtime loop initializes workflowResult with a ternary

* fix(core): decline retention for VMs that ran host-timed async work

crypto.subtle.digest is the only sandbox API whose promise resolves on
host timing rather than from the event log, so a workflow racing it
against a step can advance while suspended and diverge from what replay
reconstructs. A sticky usedHostAsync bit on the VM context makes
canRetainWorkflowSession fall back to ordinary replay for such VMs;
a quiescent step-only VM remains a pure function of the consumed
event prefix and stays retainable.

* fix(core): track all host-timed async VM APIs for retention

Atomics.waitAsync (a wall-clock timer via SharedArrayBuffer) and the
async WebAssembly compilation entry points resolve on host timing just
like crypto.subtle.digest. Wrap every such intrinsic in createContext so
usedHostAsync covers the complete set; dynamic import() settles within a
microtask and cannot advance a suspended VM.

* feat(core): compute crypto.subtle.digest synchronously in the sandbox

node:crypto createHash produces byte-identical values to WebCrypto and
settles the digest promise on a deterministic microtask instead of host
threadpool timing. A digest can therefore never advance a suspended
workflow, so digest-using VMs stay retainable; only Atomics.waitAsync
and async WebAssembly compilation remain host-timed. createHash is
stable and undeprecated on Node 18-26 (DEP0179 only removed the direct
Hash constructor).

* fix(core): remove WeakRef and FinalizationRegistry from the sandbox

GC observation depends on host GC timing that neither replay nor a
retained VM can reconstruct from the event log. WeakMap/WeakSet stay
available (they do not expose GC state).

* fix(core): enforce the BufferSource contract in the sandbox digest

Reject non-BufferSource digest input with TypeError like WebCrypto does,
via the native ArrayBuffer.prototype.byteLength brand check (works
across vm realms). Previously a plain number was treated as a
Uint8Array length, turning a small input into a giant allocation.

* fix(core): demote retention when suspension serialization draws randomness

handleSuspension dehydrates step arguments with the live VM, and that
serialization can execute user code (getters, WORKFLOW_SERIALIZE hooks).
Randomness drawn there would desync the retained VM's future correlation
IDs from what a fresh replay regenerates. Count every draw from the
seeded stream at its single source in createContext and fall back to
ordinary replay if handleSuspension consumed any.

* refactor(core): make VM quiescence unconditional, cut tracking machinery

Delete Atomics.waitAsync and the async WebAssembly entry points from the
sandbox instead of tracking their use — with digest synchronous and GC
intrinsics removed, no sandbox API settles a promise on host timing, so
a suspended VM provably cannot advance. This deletes the trackHostAsync
wrapper, the usedHostAsync bit and session method, the runtime gate
clause, the session 'failed' state (unreachable), and the
background-progress test scenarios (impossible by construction).

* refactor(core): gate retention on passively cloneable step inputs

Replace the RNG draw-counter demotion with prevention: when a session is
a retention candidate, new step inputs take a passive descriptor walk
(never invoking getters; proxies, accessors, functions, custom classes,
and platform wrappers decline) and safe values are structuredClone'd
into the host realm before dehydration, so serialization never executes
workflow-owned code against a retained VM. Unsafe inputs serialize the
old way and the session falls back to ordinary replay.

* fix(core): harden the passive step-input walker

- require enumerable on array index descriptors: structuredClone drops
  non-enumerable indices that devalue persists
- read workflow globals and constructor prototypes via own-property
  descriptors only, so validation can never execute workflow-owned
  accessors on redefined globals

* fix(core): guard proxied constructors in the passive-input walker

constructorPrototype reads both realms' constructors via own-property
descriptors only and refuses proxies before any descriptor read, so a
proxied redefined global can never observe validation.

* fix(core): preserve retention gate after rebase

* fix(core): all-or-nothing clone batches; reject SAB views in digest

- A mixed step batch (one unsafe sibling input) now serializes every
  input through the ordinary VM path: a clone snapshotted before an
  unsafe sibling's serialization runs its getters could otherwise
  durably capture stale sibling state.
- crypto.subtle.digest rejects SharedArrayBuffer-backed views with
  TypeError, matching WebCrypto's BufferSource contract.

* fix(core): narrow the fast path to prototype-independent types

devalue serializes Map/Set through the realm's iterator protocol and
Date/RegExp/typed arrays through prototype getters, all of which
workflow code can mutate — so their serialization is not provably
passive and their bytes could differ between retained and cold modes.
The fast path now accepts only primitives, plain objects, and plain
arrays, which devalue traverses exclusively via own-property reads.
Slot-bearing exotics decline even with a swapped prototype.

The sandbox digest now reads view metadata (buffer/byteOffset/
byteLength) through captured intrinsic getters, so own properties
shadowing them cannot change which bytes are hashed or bypass the
SharedArrayBuffer rejection.

* fix(core): freeze serialization-consulted sandbox intrinsics

instanceof dispatch (Symbol.hasInstance via the constructor,
Function.prototype, and Object.prototype), the class reducer's
value.constructor walk, and devalue's Object/Array traversal all consult
intrinsics workflow code could redefine — legally and deterministically —
which would make the durable step input depend on WORKFLOW_RETAINED_VM
(spoofed values serialize as e.g. Maps on the cold path but as plain
clones on the retained path). Freeze Object/Array/Function (constructors
and prototypes), the VM collection constructors, and every
reducer-referenced global binding (absent ones pinned to undefined)
right before the workflow bundle evaluates, so the retained-input
equivalence holds by construction.

Host-realm constructor escapes (e.g. TextEncoder.constructor) remain
out of the determinism contract: code scheduling host timers was never
deterministic under ordinary replay either; documented on
canRetainWorkflowSession.

* fix(core): freeze every non-shared serialization constructor

Typed-array constructors (and their shared %TypedArray% parent), the
Date wrapper, and the session-local AbortController/AbortSignal/
Request/Response bindings were pinned but not frozen, so workflow code
could still add Symbol.hasInstance statics that diverge reducer dispatch
between the retained clone (host constructors) and ordinary VM
serialization. Freeze every binding value that is not the shared host
intrinsic; shared host objects are dispatched identically by both paths,
so mutations there cannot cause mode divergence.

* fix(core): build retained clones in a pristine realm

Replace structuredClone with an explicit deep copy into an SDK-private
realm: clones previously inherited host prototypes, which workflow code
can reach (e.g. via structuredClone's return values) and vandalize with
Symbol.toStringTag or constructor overrides, shifting devalue's
classification of the clone relative to the ordinary VM path. The
pristine realm is unreachable by any user code, and the explicit copy
serializes exactly what devalue traverses (own indices, own enumerable
string props). Arrays also now decline own constructor properties,
which the class reducer reads even when non-enumerable.

* fix(core): verify host dispatch pristineness before retained cloning

Host intrinsics are shared with the whole process and cannot be frozen,
but workflow code can reach them (structuredClone results, exposed host
classes) and install Symbol.hasInstance predicates that distinguish the
original from its clone — or WORKFLOW_SERIALIZE statics on host
Object/Array that the class reducer reads for host-prototype originals
(hydrated step results). prepareRetainedStepInput now verifies, via
own-descriptor reads only, that every host dispatch point is pristine
and declines retention before any clone exists — so a spoofed predicate
can never observe or capture a pristine-realm object.

* fix(core): reject symbol properties from retained step inputs

Reducers dispatch on symbol tags (e.g. the workflow abort-signal
markers) that are non-enumerable and dropped by the pristine-realm
copy, so a tagged object would serialize as an abort descriptor on the
cold path but as plain data on the retained path.

* fix(core): retained inputs accept only own enumerable data properties

Hidden own keys of any kind — non-enumerable properties, accessors,
symbols — can be observed by serialization dispatch (reducer probes
like .signal, thenable checks, the class reducer) while the pristine
clone drops them. With no hidden own keys, every probe on an accepted
object resolves deterministically through validated data or pristine
prototypes.

* fix(core): freeze binding prototype chains for hasInstance lookup

Symbol.hasInstance dispatch walks the constructor's prototype chain, so
the frozen Date wrapper still exposed the unfrozen original VM Date it
delegates statics to. Freeze each non-shared binding's full chain
(stopping at host Function/Object prototypes) and verify host
Object.prototype carries no added hasInstance on the detection side.

* refactor(core): single-path retained serialization via pinned members (v2)

Serialize step inputs for retained boundaries through the one ordinary
pipeline (original value, workflow global) instead of cloning into a
pristine realm and serializing under the host global. With a single
serialization event shared by every mode, durable bytes structurally
cannot depend on WORKFLOW_RETAINED_VM; the only property retention needs
is that serialization executes no workflow code, established by:

- the passive walker (descriptor-only, unchanged in spirit), now also
  accepting Map/Set/Date/typed arrays/ArrayBuffer — the common built-in
  step arguments — via prototype-identity checks
- vm/serialization-pins.ts: the 10 prototype members serialization
  executes for those built-ins (measured empirically), captured at
  context creation and identity-verified at each retained boundary; the
  'touches only pinned members' test instruments every member and locks
  the list against serde drift
- host-realm instances (hydrated step results) accepted without member
  verification: host members run host code, which cannot touch retained
  VM state

Deletes the pristine clone realm, the host-dispatch pristineness checks,
and the batch clone bookkeeping.

* refactor(core): freeze built-in prototypes instead of pinning members (v3)

Review found the pin approach's structural hole: the class reducer READS
value.constructor through Map.prototype — a data property when pristine
(so member instrumentation never listed it), but executable the moment
workflow code redefines it as a getter. Pinning what serialization
executes misses what it reads. Freeze the accepted built-ins' prototypes
wholesale (Map/Set/Date + iterator prototypes, %TypedArray% + subclass
prototypes, ArrayBuffer): reads and executes are both immutable, and a
patch attempt now throws loudly at the patch site instead of silently
degrading. Deletes vm/serialization-pins.ts; the walker requires
Object.isFrozen on the realm prototype (also covering realms where the
freeze never ran).

Also restores the host-dispatch pristineness check the v2 cut lost:
workflow code can reach shared host constructors (exposed classes,
structuredClone results) and plant workflow-realm Symbol.hasInstance
hooks or WORKFLOW_SERIALIZE statics that reducers would execute during
retained serialization. Host-realm built-in instances decline for the
same reason; host-realm plain data (hydrated results) stays retainable.

* fix(core): harden the passivity checker's own execution surface

- Capture Map/Set forEach and the %TypedArray% buffer getter as module-
  load primordials: the checker previously invoked live host methods that
  workflow code can reach (structuredClone(new Map()).constructor) and
  replace with delegating workflow-realm closures.
- Typed arrays must have one of the realm's real frozen subclass
  prototypes by identity — 'frozen and chains to %TypedArray%' admitted
  manufactured frozen hostile prototypes with delegating buffer getters.

* fix(core): checker uses module-load primordials; verify inherited serializer statics

- The walker resolved Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor, Reflect.ownKeys,
  Array.isArray, Number/String helpers, and Object.getPrototypeOf/isFrozen
  from live host globals workflow code can reach and replace; all are now
  module-load captures, so the checker can never execute a planted
  delegate.
- The class reducer reads cls[WORKFLOW_SERIALIZE]/cls.classId as
  inherited Gets, so isHostDispatchPristine now also verifies host
  Function.prototype and Object.prototype carry no serializer statics.

Generic replacement of shared host statics (Object.keys, Array.from, …)
via realm escape remains the documented host-reachability boundary,
tracked by the realm-local intrinsics follow-up.

* fix(core): stale-suspension generation token; cover BigInt toString

- Suspension signals capture ctx.suspensionGeneration when scheduled and
  no-op if the session resumed past that boundary. The harmful interleaving
  was already unreachable (queue items are deleted on consume, completion
  writes state synchronously, nextTick precedes timers) — the token turns
  those ordering facts into an explicit invariant.
- The BigInt reducer calls .toString() on primitives from host code, which
  resolves on host BigInt.prototype: its identity joins the host dispatch
  check, and the VM BigInt.prototype is frozen besides.

* feat(core): deterministic sandbox hardening

- crypto.subtle.digest computes synchronously via node:crypto:
  byte-identical values, promise settles on a deterministic microtask,
  full BufferSource validation (internal-slot view reads, SAB rejection)
- Atomics.waitAsync (a wall-clock timer), async WebAssembly compilation,
  WeakRef, and FinalizationRegistry are removed from the sandbox — wall
  clock and GC observation are unreplayable; sync WebAssembly
  constructors remain
- freezeSerializationIntrinsics pins the universal dispatch surfaces:
  Object.prototype/Array.prototype/Function.prototype are frozen (every
  missed property read and hasInstance lookup terminates there) and
  serialization-referenced global bindings are non-writable. Value-type
  prototypes and constructor statics stay patchable so polyfills
  (Temporal's Date.prototype.toTemporalInstant, core-js Set.prototype
  .union / Object.groupBy) keep working — the retained-input gate
  verifies the members serialization executes per boundary instead.

Groundwork for retained-VM replay (#2990).

* feat(core): retain the workflow VM across inline steps (primitive args)

Keeps the suspended workflow VM, its events consumer, and the paused
async stack alive across inline step executions within one invocation.
Each loop iteration appends only the newly written events instead of
replaying the entire event log in a fresh VM, so step-to-step overhead
stays flat as runs grow.

- WorkflowSession wraps executeWorkflow: suspended sessions expose
  resume(events) which appends to the retained EventsConsumer and lets
  the parked run() continuation settle; any divergence (unexpected
  suspension shape, consumer error) demotes to full replay permanently
- Retention is gated per boundary: only suspensions whose queued step
  inputs are all primitives (null/undefined/boolean/number/string) are
  retainable, because serializing primitives executes no workflow code;
  a follow-up widens this to plain data and standard built-ins
- Suspensions with hooks, waits, or attributes always fall back
- A suspension generation token invalidates stale timer callbacks from
  an abandoned suspension so they cannot advance a resumed VM
- WORKFLOW_RETAINED_VM=0 kill switch; telemetry records
  workflow.execution.mode = replay | retained

Part 2 of the retained-VM stack (#2990); requires the determinism
hardening in part 1.

* chore: retrigger vercel deployments

* Drop serialization intrinsic freezing from the sandbox

The retained-VM passivity design moved from pinning/verifying the
sandbox surfaces serialization dispatches on to injecting hardened
operations into devalue itself (with taint-based de-opt), so freezing
Object/Array/Function prototypes and pinning global bindings is no
longer needed. Keep only the determinism hardening (sync digest,
removal of wall-clock/GC-observing APIs).

* Document and lock in why async crypto.subtle methods cannot break quiescence

The remaining async subtle methods reject immediately through the crypto
proxy (brand check — the receiver is not a real SubtleCrypto), so they can
never mint a host-timing promise. Narrow the quiescence comment to what the
code actually enforces and add a test so the unreachability is not silently
"fixed" later.

* simplify sandbox hardening: lean digest input conversion, async digest, explicit subtle throwers

* simplify retention: single decision site in suspension catch, steps-only allow-list gate, drop prepareForRetention param

* mark sandbox API removals as a major change

* simplify retention further: one staleness mechanism (generation bump on suspend), whole predicate in canRetainWorkflowSession, lazy hook/wait scan, prewarm on resume path

* simplify session API and tests: replace executeWorkflow overloads with replayWorkflow/resumeWorkflow, drop low-value events-consumer tests, compact session and retained-loop tests

* add parallel-batch retention test (sibling signal absorption) and document the unguarded-signaler invariant

* simplify workflow.ts types: 5 named types (WorkflowResult/WorkflowResumeResult), async resume(), rename runtime local to retainedSession

* add retention-interleaving e2e (retained/demoted/wait/hook boundaries), drop session telemetry test

* discard the retained session on every in-process 412 restart

Review finding (both panel reviewers): restartReplayInProcess — added on
main by #3145 while this branch was in flight — reset the cached log but
not the parked VM session. Any stale-snapshot continue then resumed a
session belonging to the discarded log: after a run_completed 412 the
completed session's resume() throws and the run is durably failed despite
having completed; after a suspension-create 412 the session is resumed
without ever passing the retention decision, bypassing both the
WORKFLOW_RETAINED_VM kill switch and the step-input gate. A restart now
always falls back to a fresh replay. Regression test injects a 412 on
run_completed and proves fresh-replay completion (red without the fix).

* review round 2: set suspensionGeneration in typed test harness contexts; correct the open-hook/wait scan comment (this suspension's writes are not merged into the cached log — non-step suspensions never reach the scan)

* simplify pass: reuse once() from @workflow/utils for the open-hook/wait memo; drop optional-chaining that contradicted the surrounding guards

Shalabh Chaturvedi ba2cddc861 [benchmarks] Log the run id and Datadog trace for each sequential-steps run (#3248)
* [benchmarks] Link the run id and Datadog trace under the STSO histograms

The STSO distribution section added in #3213 shows the shape of the
sequential-steps run but not which run produced it, so investigating an
odd-looking bucket meant hunting for the run by deployment id and time
window.

Capture the identity alongside the samples (the mechanism prototyped on
the WIP variance branch, #3107): `/api/bench` returns the trace id of the
span @vercel/otel opened for the trigger request, the runner threads it
through the sequential iteration and records `sequentialRuns` in the
result file, and the renderer prints one line under the histograms with
the run id + Datadog trace link for this run and for the `main` run it is
diffed against.

Every part is optional — a deployment predating the route change yields a
bare run id, and a `main` baseline predating this yields only this run's
side — so the section degrades instead of breaking on mixed-vintage
artifacts.

* Log the run/trace links instead of rendering them into the comment

The run id and Datadog trace are debugging aids, not part of the
benchmark's reported result, so they belong in the job's own output
rather than in the PR comment body.

Logging them where the runs are produced also makes them available in
two cases the comment could never cover: a local `pnpm bench`, and a
job that fails before the comment step runs.

This drops the comment-rendering side entirely -- `renderSequentialRunLinks`,
the `baselineSequentialRuns` baseline plumbing in `annotateWithBaseline`,
and the `sequentialRuns` field on the result artifact, which existed only
to carry the data to the renderer.

The `main`-baseline side of the link goes away with it: which run produced
the baseline histogram is only knowable at comment-render time, where the
two artifacts are matched.

* Say what the trigger trace actually contains under linked mode

The route comment claimed the trigger request's span "propagates into
the workflow's own spans". That only holds under
WORKFLOW_TRACE_MODE=continuous. Nothing in the workbench or
benchmarks.yml sets the mode, so the benchmark deployment runs the
default `linked` (packages/core/src/telemetry.ts), where each
workflow/step invocation is its own trace root and the trigger's trace
carries `workflow.start` plus span links out to those roots.

The logged link is still the right entry point -- one hop through the
links, which Datadog renders -- but the comment should describe that,
so nobody opening a trigger-only trace while debugging a histogram
concludes the run produced no spans.

Raised by @TooTallNate in review of #3248.

* Log a Datadog span search alongside the trigger trace link

Under the default linked trace mode the trigger's trace holds only
`workflow.start` plus span links, so opening it lands one hop away from
the spans an STSO investigation needs. Log an APM search on
`@workflow.run.id:<runId>` next to it, which goes straight to the run's
execution spans.

Both links are logged rather than one replacing the other: the search
depends on `workflow.run.id` being an indexed span tag in the org, and
the permalink works regardless.

Suggested by @TooTallNate in review of #3248.

christopherkindl 3c7875ad73 [docs] upgrade @vercel/geistdocs to 1.19.0 (#3170)
* chore: upgrade @vercel/geistdocs to 1.17.1

Picks up the new footer (Footer no longer takes a config prop), the
heading font-weight change to 450, and the tightened navbar OSS-menu
marks. Also switches the site's own navbar logo from the vendored
geistcn LogoWorkflow fallback to the package's LogoWorkflowSdk, using
its new tuned default height instead of a hardcoded 15.

Fixes a resulting regression: navbarOssProducts entries lacked an `id`,
so resolveOssProducts' `product.id !== activeProduct` filter evaluated
to `undefined !== undefined` (false) for every entry and emptied the
OSS flyout. Added stable `id`/`label` values to each entry.

* refactor: use default navbarOssProducts list instead of a custom override

The manual navbarOssProducts array (with local logo imports/heights) is
no longer needed now that the package's DEFAULT_OSS_PRODUCTS list
already includes all these SDKs with proper id/label/section values.
navbarActiveProduct: 'workflow-sdk' now handles self-exclusion instead.

* fix: use bg-background-200 for docs surfaces to match the template

The docs, cookbook, and v5 route layouts plus the shared DocsLayout
container hardcoded bg-background-100 (pure white), so /docs/* pages
rendered on a lighter surface than the rest of the site. Switch them to
bg-background-200, matching the geistdocs template's page background.

* style: adopt package text-heading-* utilities for homepage headings

The marketing homepage headings hardcoded font-semibold (weight 600)
plus manual responsive sizes/tracking, so they rendered heavier than
the docs headings that now use Geist's 450 heading weight. Swap each
display heading to the package's text-heading-* utilities, which bundle
the 450 weight, line-height, and tracking, mapped across breakpoints to
the nearest design-system size. Inline label/emphasis spans keep their
own weight.

* style: adopt package text-heading-* utilities for worlds headings

Extends the homepage heading change to the /worlds section: the world
listing, detail, compare, and building-a-world pages plus their
components hardcoded font-semibold display headings. Swap each to the
package's text-heading-* utilities (450 weight + line-height +
tracking), mapped across breakpoints to the nearest design-system size.
Mono stat numbers, per-benchmark item labels, and the dialog title keep
their own weight.

* style: remove the bordered grid framing from the homepage

The homepage sections were wrapped in a grid divide-y border-y sm:border-x
container, drawing side borders and divider lines between every section.
Drop that framing so the sections flow with whitespace separation.

* style: remove vertical column dividers from homepage sections

Drop the divide-x column dividers still drawn inside the use-cases
(3-col), feature-grid (2-col), and templates sections, so no vertical
lines remain after the section-grid removal. Section padding keeps the
columns visually separated.

* style: make the homepage "Get started" CTA button rounded-full

* style: use text-heading-* for the feature-grid paragraph text

The two 2-col feature blurbs ("Deep integration with AI SDK.",
"Durable agents by default.") hardcoded their size/leading/tracking
plus font-medium/font-semibold weights. Those manual sizes already
equal text-heading-20/24, so swap to text-heading-20 lg:text-heading-24
— same sizes, but the Geist 450 heading weight (lead drops 600 -> 500
via the utility's [&>strong] rule). The lead stays gray-1000 for
emphasis; body stays gray-900.

* style: fade out the run-anywhere provider logos at the left/right edges

Add linear-gradient masks to the flanking cloud-provider logo groups in
the "Run anywhere, no lock-in" viz so they fade to transparent toward
the outer edges, leaving the centered code block untouched.

* style: widen the right-edge fade on the Vercel dashboard viz

The "Workflow SDK on Vercel" dashboard is offset off the right edge, so
the existing to_left black_10% mask fell off-screen and the visible
right edge hard-clipped. Widen it to black_40% so the dashboard fades
out gradually at the visible right edge.

* style: add spacing between the Vercel, use-cases, and templates sections

Wrap the UseCases and Templates sections with a top margin so there's
clear separation between "Workflow SDK on Vercel", "Build anything with
AI Agents", and "Get started" now that the section dividers are gone.

* style: widen the homepage layout from 1080px to 1200px

* style: align use-cases code block and templates cards with the Vercel section

Switch the "Build anything with" and "Get started" sections from
grid-cols-3 / [1fr_2fr] to [1fr_1.5fr], matching the "Workflow SDK on
Vercel" section above so their code block and cards share the same
right-hand column. The wider text column also lets "Build anything with"
sit on one line. Normalize both to outer padding + column gap so the
code block and cards line up exactly.

* style: extend use-cases/templates content to the right layout edge

Drop the right padding at md+ (md:pr-0) so the code block and template
cards reach the same right edge as the "Workflow SDK on Vercel"
dashboard above, which bleeds to the container edge. Mobile keeps its
padding.

* style: remove the divider between the two feature cards

Drop divide-y/lg:divide-y-0 from the feature grid so no border shows
between "Deep integration with AI SDK" and "Durable agents by default".

* refactor: position homepage sections on a shared 12-col grid

Replace the ad-hoc [1fr_1.5fr] + md:pr-0 + lg:pl-* positioning on the
Vercel, use-cases, and templates sections with a shared grid-cols-12
layout (text col-span-5, visual col-span-7), matching the vercel.com
marketing grid convention. The Vercel dashboard becomes a proper grid
cell instead of an absolutely-offset right-bleed, so all three
sections' visuals align by the grid columns with no magic values.

* style: align homepage width with the navbar content

Widen the homepage container from max-w-[1200px] to the site's
max-w-[1448px] (matching the navbar/footer) and reduce the section
gutters from sm:px-12 to sm:px-6, so section content lines up with the
navbar's content edges (right edge flush at the same column as the
navbar and footer). Also convert the "Reliability-as-code" section to
the shared grid-cols-12 layout (col-span-5 text / col-span-7 code
example), replacing its lg:grid-cols-[330px_1fr] magic values.

* refactor: handle homepage horizontal padding at the root container

Move the mobile/desktop gutter (px-4 sm:px-6) onto the homepage root
container and remove the horizontal padding from every section
component. Section content still aligns with the navbar/footer content
edges, but the gutter is now defined once instead of repeated per
section. Inner-element padding (tab buttons, visual internals) is
unchanged.

* style: left-align content sections on mobile + fix run-anywhere/o11y viz

- Left-align the centered content sections on mobile only (FeatureCardWide,
  TweetWall heading, Frameworks, Run-anywhere heading/buttons), restoring
  their centered layout at sm and up.
- Make the "Inspect every run" timeline span edge-to-edge by shifting its
  gantt from a 14-col grid (content in cols 2-13) to a flush 12-col grid.
- Constrain the run-anywhere viz cluster to the code block width so the
  provider cards (AWS/Docker/etc.) overlap behind the code block again.

* style: anchor run-anywhere provider cards to overlap the code block

Position the flanking provider-card groups relative to the centered
code block (right/left calc(50%+140px)) instead of the section edges,
so the cards sit behind and overlap the code block regardless of the
section width.

* style: make the reliability-as-code example fill its column to the right edge

Drop max-w-3xl mx-auto from the workflow/non-workflow code examples so
they fill the col-span-7 cell, aligning the code block's right edge with
the layout's right content edge (matching the tabs and other sections).

* style: split feature-card copy into a title + description

Break the AI SDK / durable-agents feature blurbs into a heading and a
separate muted description with a gap (matching the other sections)
instead of one inline paragraph, and drop the trailing periods from the
feature titles so they read as headings.

* update

* style: give the tweet cards a bg-background-100 surface

* fix(swc-playground): pin monaco-editor to 0.55.1

The lockfile refresh resolved the unpinned `monaco-editor: "latest"` from
0.55.1 to 0.56.0, breaking the workflow-swc-playground Turbopack build.

0.56.0 rewrote its exports map to reroot subpaths under `esm/vs/`
("./*": "./esm/vs/*.js"). monaco-vim@0.4.4 deep-imports
`monaco-editor/esm/vs/editor/editor.api` and
`.../common/commands/shiftCommand`, which now map to
`esm/vs/esm/vs/...` — a path that does not exist. Under 0.55.1
("./*": "./*") both specifiers resolve to real files.

monaco-vim 0.4.4 is the latest published release, so pinning
monaco-editor is the only available fix.

Pranay Prakash 11dc036854 ci: stop deploying changeset-release/main, run its e2e against production (#3243)
* ci: stop deploying changeset-release/main, run its e2e against production

The changesets action force-pushes `changeset-release/main`, and it can
point at exactly main's HEAD SHA. Vercel keeps one commit status per
project per SHA, so when both a production deployment (from main) and a
preview deployment (from changeset-release/main) are built for the same
commit, whichever finishes last owns the status. On 2026-07-30 the
preview finished last, so `vercel/wait-for-deployment-action` — which
reads the deployment ID out of that status — handed production e2e runs
a preview deployment ID and forked runs across environments.

Disable git deployments for that branch in every Vercel project rooted
in this repo, and give the changeset PR's Vercel e2e lanes a deployment
to test that actually exists: main's production deployment for the PR's
base SHA, resolved by SHA so a mid-flight production build is waited out
rather than silently replaced by an older one.

* ci: resolve changeset-release e2e deployments with the wait action, tokenless

Per review: with changeset-release/main no longer deployed, main SHAs
can never again be deployed to a second environment of these projects,
so the per-SHA commit status the action reads is unambiguous for
exactly this lane. Reuse vercel/wait-for-deployment-action with
environment: production and sha pinned to the PR base SHA instead of
the Vercel-API polling script, drop the script and its VERCEL_TOKEN
usage, and inherit the action's inactive/skipped-build handling.

Shalabh Chaturvedi 8bda7cef79 [benchmarks] Split STSO by inline vs queue-hop steps, add distribution diffs vs main (#3213)
* Split STSO by inline vs queue-hop steps, add distribution diffs vs main

The sequential-steps benchmark's STSO metric mixed two unrelated
phenomena: gaps between steps running back-to-back in the same warm
process, and gaps across an invocation boundary (queue dispatch, client
reinit, event-log replay), which cost ~10x more. The old step-index
windows (1-20 / 101-120 / 1001-1020) sampled 19 gaps each and captured
neither cleanly: whether a boundary happened to land inside a window
moved that window's P99 by hundreds of percent, which is most of the
run-to-run variance the benchmark comment was reporting.

The workflow now tags each step with whether it was the first step body
executed in its process ('queue-hop') or a later one in the same warm
process ('inline') via a process-global, so the split is ground truth
rather than inferred from step index or trace timestamps. STSO is
reported as two rows over *every* gap in the run instead of three
sampled windows. No targets on the new rows — the old ones described the
index-bucketed grouping.

computeStats now keeps the full sorted sample array alongside the
percentiles, and the comment renders a histogram + cumulative-time diff
against `main` under the table, one per STSO kind. Percentiles alone
hide how many samples moved and by how much, which is exactly where the
variance lives. Inline rows use a fixed 50ms bin width (the adaptive
width is coarse enough to hide structure inside that cluster); queue-hop
rows keep the adaptive width. Negative gaps (clock skew between two step
bodies' clocks) get their own bucket rather than being counted with the
slow tail.

Raw samples are stripped from the comment's embedded data block — ~1000
per run would exceed GitHub's comment size limit within a couple of
history entries — so the histogram renders for the current run only,
while collapsed history keeps its tables. Until this lands on `main` no
baseline has raw samples, so the section renders this run's distribution
as a single series.

Pranay Prakash 9a2770ab34 test: regression coverage for hook.resume() from isolated route bundles (o2flow beta.26 incident) (#3001)
* test: regression coverage for hook.resume() from isolated route bundles (o2flow beta.26 incident)

Reproduces the o2flow v5 upgrade failure (workflow@5.0.0-beta.26, fixed by
#2752 in beta.28): a plain API route importing defineHook() from the root
`workflow` entry and calling .resume() failed with Turbopack's
"Cannot find module as expression is too dynamic" stub, because the world
registration was tree-shaken out of the route bundle and getWorldLazy()'s
dynamic-import fallback got stubbed.

The bug only manifests when a route bundle loads in isolation (a Vercel
lambda): local `next dev`/`next start` evaluates next.config.ts, whose
workflow/next import chain registers the world process-wide and masks it —
which is why no existing server-driven suite caught it.

- route-bundle-isolation.test.ts: production Turbopack build of the
  nextjs-turbopack workbench, then loads ONLY the compiled route bundle in a
  bare Node subprocess (cold-lambda simulation) and invokes its POST handler.
  Fails with the exact incident error on regressed code; passes on main.
  Wired into the build-error-messages CI job.
- e2e: plainModuleDoneHook round-trip through a plain API route on the two
  Next workbenches (deployed matrix covers real lambda isolation).
- Workbench fixtures mirroring o2flow: a directive-less defineHook module
  shared by a workflow (create) and a plain route (resume). The webpack
  workbench gets a real route file because `next dev` (webpack) does not
  serve directory-symlinked app routes.

Nathan Rajlich 9da2d76260 [core][world][world-vercel] Add World.createRunId() and region-aware queue routing (#1981)
* [world-vercel] Add /run-id sub-export with tagged ULID encode/decode

Encodes a tag bit, 5-bit version, and 6-bit Vercel region ID into a
ULID-shaped string used for workflow run IDs. Tagged values remain
valid 26-char Crockford-Base32 ULIDs so they still sort and round-trip
through any system that accepts ULIDs.

* [world-vercel] Add string-value assertions to run-id tests

Add exact-string expectations for encoded outputs at known inputs,
covering the default region/version pair, numeric region IDs, version
overrides, boundary values (all-zero, all-max), the dirty-input
overwrite case, and the lexicographic-order checks. Also adds an
explicit byte-array expectation for the canonical ULID-spec example
string and an additional first-char-range coverage test for isTagged.

* [world-vercel] Remove internal-repo reference from regions doc comment

* [world-vercel] Address PR review feedback on run-id sub-export

- isTaggedString now fully validates the input as a 26-char Crockford
  Base32 ULID (delegating to ulidToBytes) instead of only inspecting
  the first character. This fixes false positives on inputs like
  '4UUUU...' that have a valid tag-bit position but invalid chars
  later in the string.
- isTagged() now accepts `unknown` to match its documented behavior
  of safely rejecting non-string inputs without requiring callers to
  cast.
- Introduce `RegionKey` for the full set of keys including 'unknown',
  and narrow `RegionCode` to `Exclude<RegionKey, 'unknown'>` so the
  return type of `lookupRegion` and the `DecodedRunId.region` field
  accurately reflect that 'unknown' is never produced. Updates
  `encode` to reject 'unknown' as a region code string at runtime
  (callers wanting the unknown sentinel should pass numeric 0).

* [world] [core] [world-vercel] Add World.createRunId() and region-aware queue routing

- @workflow/world: add optional createRunId(input?) to the World
  interface so worlds can mint run IDs with embedded metadata, and
  add an optional 'region' field to QueueOptions for per-message
  routing hints.

- @workflow/core: start() now delegates run ID generation to
  world.createRunId() when defined (falling back to a monotonic
  ULID otherwise), and accepts a new 'runIdInput' option that is
  forwarded verbatim to createRunId. When runIdInput.region is a
  string, it is also threaded onto the queue options so the initial
  workflow message is dispatched to the matching region.

- @workflow/world-vercel: implement createRunId() to mint
  region-tagged ULIDs, preferring an explicit runIdInput.region and
  falling back to the VERCEL_REGION env var. The queue now resolves
  its destination region from (in order): an explicit opts.region,
  the region embedded in the payload's tagged run ID, the
  VERCEL_REGION env var, and finally a hardcoded 'iad1' default.
  This replaces the previous unconditional 'iad1' region passed to
  the @vercel/queue client.

Monotonicity within a process is preserved by tracking the last
emitted run ID and bumping the bit immediately above the 11-bit
metadata window when a same-ms collision would otherwise occur,
then re-stamping the requested region/version on top so metadata
remains stable.

* [core] [world] [world-vercel] Pass full StartOptions to World.createRunId

Drop the dedicated 'runIdInput' field on StartOptions and forward the
entire options bag to world.createRunId() instead. This keeps the
public API surface smaller and lets each World pick the fields it
recognises (e.g. world-vercel reads 'region'). The top-level 'region'
option remains on StartOptionsBase and is also threaded onto the
queue's per-call region opt when set.

* Address review feedback: doc fixes and deterministic same-ms tests

- Document the final iad1 fallback in QueueOptions.region (world)
- Correct the World.createRunId doc: start() always passes an object
- Fix the clientOptions comment: the handler client omits region and
  relies on SDK auto-detection + the ce-vqsregion header for acks
- Fix a misleading QueueClient-construction comment in queue.test.ts
- Freeze time in the same-ms monotonicity test so it deterministically
  exercises the intended path, and add a test covering the
  bump-above-metadata fallback when the region changes mid-millisecond

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: keep workflow-server override rewrite-compatible

Export WORKFLOW_SERVER_URL_OVERRIDE while keeping the one-line const shape
that workflow-server's cross-repo e2e test automation rewrites. Update
world-vercel tests to import that exported value for mock origins and URL
expectations instead of duplicating the temporary preview URL.

* fix(world): clear region tag bit before ULID timestamp validation

Region-tagged run IDs set the high bit of the ULID timestamp byte. The
shared world timestamp validator used raw decodeTime(), so current tagged
run IDs appeared thousands of years in the future and were rejected before
reaching workflow-server. Clear the tag bit before decoding, matching the
workflow-server behavior, and cover tagged IDs in tests.

* fix(world-vercel): validate tagged runId timestamps via run-id decode

Keep @workflow/world's ULID helpers generic; they should not know about
world-vercel's region-tagged run ID layout. Instead, world-vercel decodes
its tagged runId to the original ULID before using the shared timestamp
validator for run_created events. Add a world-vercel regression test that a
current sfo1-tagged runId passes validation.

* fix(world-vercel): default run ID region to iad1 instead of unknown

When neither an explicit region option nor VERCEL_REGION is available,
createRunId minted a tagged ULID with the unknown (0) region sentinel,
producing the tagged: true, region: null state. The server already
resolves unknown/untagged runs to DEFAULT_VERCEL_REGION (iad1), so mint
a concrete iad1 tag instead, keeping every run ID self-describing and
routable.

* test(e2e): use verbose reporter + per-test start heartbeat

The default vitest reporter buffers per-file output, so a stalling e2e
test produces no output until its timeout — making CI look like a silent
30-minute hang. Switch the e2e CI invocations to the verbose reporter
(prints each test result as it completes) and emit a '[e2e] ▶ start:'
heartbeat to stdout at the start of every test (bypassing vitest's console
buffering) so a stuck test is immediately identifiable in the live CI log.

* test(world-vercel): point WORKFLOW_SERVER_URL_OVERRIDE at combined 527+529 preview

Temporarily target the workflow-server combined-527-529-preview deployment,
which bundles platform-directed multi-region routing (vercel/workflow-server#527,
incl. the iad1 hook pin) and durable stream state (vercel/workflow-server#529),
so e2e can validate the full multi-region path end-to-end. Revert to empty on main.

* fix(core): region-tag the health-check correlationId

The health-check response is delivered over a Redis stream whose name (and
synthetic run ID) embed the correlationId. Under platform-directed routing
the responding endpoint and the polling reader can be served from different
physical regions; Redis is physical-region-local, so the correlationId must
carry the region for both sides to resolve the same backend.

Generate the correlationId via world.createRunId() (a region-tagged ULID)
when the world provides it, falling back to a plain ULID for worlds that
don't tag IDs (e.g. local, single-region). The synthetic wrun_hc_<id> run ID
then carries the region; workflow-server's region middleware decodes it.

* Address review feedback: validate region overrides, reset server override

- queue: validate opts.region and VERCEL_REGION against the known region
  table before routing, ignoring unrecognised codes so a bad override
  can't clobber the payload-derived region (Copilot)
- add isKnownRegionCode() runtime guard to run-id/regions
- reset WORKFLOW_SERVER_URL_OVERRIDE to '' (must be empty on main)
- fold the within-PR iad1-default changeset into the main world-vercel
  changeset and delete it (review)
- start.test: declare specVersion on createRunId mock worlds now that
  the merged world-compatibility check requires it
- cover the new region-validation fall-through paths in queue.test

* test(world-vercel): point WORKFLOW_SERVER_URL_OVERRIDE at wave-1 multi-region preview

BRANCH-ONLY — revert the override to '' before merge (lint enforces).

Points this PR's e2e/benchmark runs at the wave-1 multi-region
workflow-server preview (vercel/workflow-server#590: iad1+sfo1+fra1
serving, staging data backends) so region-tagged runs are validated
against real multi-region serving end-to-end.

Also makes the unit-test mock origins in events-v4.test.ts and
trace-propagation.test.ts override-aware (same pattern the rest of
the file and utils.test.ts already use), so the suite passes whether
or not the override is set — these two files were the only spots
hardcoding https://vercel-workflow.com.

* test(e2e): Vercel multi-region suite for start()'s region option

Adds a dedicated e2e suite validating @workflow/world-vercel region
routing end to end, run as its own CI job (e2e-vercel-multi-region)
against the nextjs-turbopack workbench only — deliberately separate
from e2e.test.ts, which runs as a matrix across all worlds/frameworks
where Vercel-specific multi-region behavior doesn't apply.

- workbench/nextjs-turbopack/vercel.json: deploy to iad1+sfo1+fra1 so
  region-routed flow messages have a function to land on in each region.
- workflows/99_e2e.ts: regionProbeWorkflow returns the VERCEL_REGION
  observed by both the workflow and a step, so tests can assert the run
  EXECUTED in the intended region (not just that it was tagged).
- packages/core/e2e/e2e-region.test.ts: per-region cases assert
  1) start(..., { region }) mints a region-tagged run ID (decoded via
     @workflow/world-vercel/run-id),
  2) the workflow + step both observed VERCEL_REGION === region,
  3) the server reports the run completed;
  plus a concurrent all-regions case guarding against cross-region
  misrouting under simultaneous multi-region traffic. Skips on local
  deployments.
- .github/workflows/tests.yml: new e2e-vercel-multi-region job
  mirroring e2e-vercel-prod's env/deployment-wait, running only the
  new suite.

* test(e2e): start region probes in-function; fix getWorld await

The first multi-region CI run surfaced two issues:

1. sfo1/fra1-tagged runs executed in iad1. The suite started runs from
   the external test process, which uses the api.vercel.com token proxy
   — and the proxy's queues path forwards every send to the region-less
   VQS host (the world's proxy-mode resolveBaseUrl ignores the region
   argument, and the proxy's x-vercel-vqs-api-url escape hatch only
   allowlists vqs-server-*.vercel.sh preview hosts). Production traffic
   publishes IN-FUNCTION (direct regional queue routing), so the suite
   now triggers start() through a new workbench route
   (/api/e2e-region-start) and rehydrates the run with getRun() —
   testing the path production actually takes. Proxy-mode regional
   queue routing is a known gap to address separately in api-workflow.

2. TypeError on world.runs.get: getWorld() is async and was called
   without await.

* test(e2e): cover explicit and implicit region starts in the multi-region suite

With regional VQS routing now working through the api.vercel.com proxy
(vercel/api#79056 + #2789 + this branch's per-send region resolution),
the suite covers both start configurations, asserting the same three
properties for each (region-tagged run ID, execution in the intended
region via VERCEL_REGION echoed in the return value, server-side
completion):

1. EXPLICIT: start(..., { region }) called directly in the vitest
   runner — publishes through the token proxy, per-send region carried
   by x-vercel-queue-region. Restores the direct-start shape the suite
   had originally, plus the concurrent all-regions case.

2. IMPLICIT: dedicated per-region workbench routes
   (/api/e2e-region-implicit/{iad1,sfo1,fra1}), each pinned to a single
   region via a per-function 'regions' entry in the workbench
   vercel.json, calling start() with NO region option — createRunId
   derives the tag from the minting function's VERCEL_REGION. The test
   also asserts the route reported executing in its pinned region, so
   the implicit-tagging assertion can't pass vacuously.

Replaces the interim /api/e2e-region-start route (explicit region via
request body), which existed to work around the pre-#79056 proxy gap.

* Revert WORKFLOW_SERVER_URL_OVERRIDE to '' — wave-1 multi-region serving is in production

workflow-server#590 (iad1+sfo1+fra1 serving) merged and deployed to
production and the e2e backend, so this branch's e2e/benchmark runs no
longer need to target the wave-1 preview. Restores the empty override
the No Test Overrides lint job enforces for merge.

The override-aware unit-test origins (events-v4/trace-propagation)
stay — they are correct under any override value.

* test(e2e): cross-region stream visibility (iad1 writer, sfo1 reader)

Regression coverage for a backend bug that made cross-region stream
reads report zero chunks on IN-PROGRESS streams (completed streams were
unaffected), which forced the multi-region serving rollback.

The new case exercises exactly that geometry:
- crossRegionStreamWorkflow (99_e2e.ts) writes N chunks to the default
  output stream, then holds the stream OPEN for 45s before closing —
  the in-progress window is the point, since completed streams are the
  easy case.
- The e2e starts it with region iad1, waits (same-region, via the
  api.vercel.com proxy) until all chunks are written, asserts the run
  is still 'running', then reads through a new sfo1-pinned workbench
  route (/api/e2e-stream-read/sfo1) that returns getTailIndex() plus
  its VERCEL_REGION. The reader's region served none of the stream's
  writes, so the reported chunk count must come from the backend's
  cross-region stream metadata. The test fails loudly if the route
  isn't actually executing in sfo1.

Also bumps the explicit-region test timeout to 120s: the first case in
the file absorbs every cold start at once (fresh workbench instances
in up to three regions plus a cold backend preview) and was observed
just over the 60s default.

BRANCH-ONLY (revert before merge, lint enforces):
WORKFLOW_SERVER_URL_OVERRIDE points at a multi-region backend preview
that includes the fix, so this validates cross-region stream
visibility end-to-end before multi-region serving is re-enabled.

* test(e2e): extend multi-region suite to all 19 provisioned regions

Points the suite at an all-regions backend preview and widens coverage
from the wave-1 trio to every provisioned region:

- Explicit path: a single concurrent all-regions case starts one
  tagged run per region (one shared cold-start window instead of 19
  sequential ones) and aggregates per-region failures so a single
  region's breakage reports alongside the full picture. The trio keeps
  its detailed per-region cases and the 9-way concurrent-isolation
  case.
- Implicit path: workbench gains a region-pinned
  /api/e2e-region-implicit/<region> route per provisioned region (19
  total, shared handler), the workbench itself now deploys to all of
  them, and the test.each covers the full set with per-case timeouts
  for regional cold starts.
- Multi-region CI job timeout 20m -> 35m for the sequential implicit
  cases.

BRANCH-ONLY (revert before merge, lint enforces):
WORKFLOW_SERVER_URL_OVERRIDE now targets the all-regions backend
preview instead of the previous (stale, since-merged) fix preview.

* test(e2e): tolerate geo-adjacent execution of queue callbacks

The first all-regions run surfaced a subtle execution-locality
behavior: queue delivery is guaranteed to the tagged region's
dataplane and the delivery callback egresses from that region, but the
consumer invocation's execution region is chosen by where that
callback enters Vercel's edge — and adjacent regions can geo-resolve
to each other's functions. Observed live: kix1-tagged runs (callback
egressing from Osaka) deterministically executing in hnd1/Tokyo on
both the explicit and implicit paths, with tagging, data placement,
and completion all still strictly kix1.

expectRunInRegion now asserts execution lands in the tagged region OR
one of its geographic neighbors (EXECUTION_ADJACENCY), while run-ID
tagging and server-side completion remain strictly the requested
region. Gross misrouting (e.g. kix1 -> iad1) still fails.

* Revert WORKFLOW_SERVER_URL_OVERRIDE to '' — all-regions serving is in production

The all-regions workflow-server rollout is deployed and serving
production traffic from every Vercel region, so this branch's e2e no
longer needs to target a branch preview. Restores the empty override
the No Test Overrides lint enforces for merge.

With this the PR is complete: region-tagged run IDs, region-aware
queue routing, and the multi-region e2e suite (explicit + implicit +
all-regions + cross-region streams) all validate against the

* docs: fix three stale comments flagged in review

- start.ts: StartOptionsBase.region fallback is iad1, not the unknown
  sentinel (createRunId always mints a concrete routable region)
- queue.ts: example used a nonexistent start({ runIdInput }) API; the
  real option is start({ region })
- events.ts: decode() clears only the tag bit (top bit of the 48-bit
  timestamp field) — it does not restore the original untagged ULID;
  reword to say what actually matters for timestamp validation

* test(e2e): cover hook resolve/resume for runs owned by non-iad1 regions

Hooks are resolved by opaque token, which carries no region hint, so
lookup and resume must work regardless of which region owns the run's
data. Exercises the full follow-up-message path on sfo1- and
fra1-tagged runs: create inside the workflow, resolve by token from
the test process, resume twice sequentially, and assert payload order
and completion.

Regression coverage for the failure mode where the first message to a
hook-driven app on a non-iad1 run worked but every follow-up failed
with 'Hook not found'.
