Alex Langenfeld fe2fd8c457 Classify Workflow stream failures (#3850)
## Summary & Motivation

Stream infrastructure failures (HTTP/2 session wedges, transport timeouts, non-2xx stream responses) surfaced as plain `Error`, so terminal classification attributed them to customer code as `USER_ERROR`. They now carry a catchable `StreamError` with a `STREAM_ERROR` run error code, attributed to the SDK and retried when transport-level or 5xx.

The v4 events response body is wrapped so a post-header stream failure is classified and reported to the dispatcher recycler — a response header arriving is not yet a successful streamed request.

## Test Plan

Unit tests added across classification, serialization round-trip, the streamer, and the v4 transport; 331 `@workflow/core` and 123 `@workflow/world-vercel` focused tests pass.

Karthik Kalyan f9073d0739 Add attribute inspection to the CLI (#3950)
* Add attribute inspection to the CLI and probe the cancel window once

`wf inspect attributes` lists the distinct attribute keys on a project's
runs with their run counts and first/last seen times, and
`wf inspect runs --attribute key=value` filters by them. Between them
they turn attributes from something you can only write into something
you can discover and query. Both are analytics-only — storage has no
cross-run attribute index — so the listing says so rather than falling
back, and the filter warns and is ignored the way --since/--until
already do.

The flag is parsed and bounded in lib/inspect so the error names
--attribute rather than the parameter it becomes, and so it is testable
next to the other inspect flag helpers. It splits on the first `=` only,
since a value may contain one, and keeps an empty value, which matches
runs whose attribute was set to the empty string.

`wf cancel` also probed the plan's listing window inside its per-status
fan-out, so a four-status cancel issued four identical probes. The
window is a property of the plan rather than of a status, so the probe
is hoisted above the fan-out: eight requests become five. The harness
only ever modelled the storage path, so that probe logic had no
coverage; the new test fails with two probes before the change.

* Do not depend on an unreleased world export for the flag cap

The --attribute cap was imported from @workflow/world, where the
constant is added by a different branch, so on main it resolved to
undefined and `values.length > undefined` was always false: the flag
accepted any number of pairs and the test for it never threw.

Declare the cap in the CLI instead. The World and the backend enforce
the same bound independently, and this copy exists only so the error can
name the flag the user typed rather than the parameter it becomes.

* Degrade sleeps to the event log and bound the inspect flags

`wf inspect sleeps` was the only list path that could not degrade: it
branched on analytics being present and either returned or exited, so on
any backend providing analytics the storage branch below it was
unreachable and an analytics failure ended the command. It now warns and
falls through, like the run, step, and event listings. An argument the
World rejected is not retried — the same argument fails either path, so
falling back would trade a precise message for a slower failure.

handleApiError also only recognised errors carrying an HTTP status.
A client-side argument rejection has none, because no request was made,
so it fell past every branch and was rethrown as an unhandled error. It
is now reported as given: the message already names the method, the
parameter, and what it received.

--limit and --runId are checked before any backend setup so a mistyped
value names the flag and costs no round trip. The limit bound is
deliberately looser than the per-endpoint caps, which differ by resource
and stay with the World; this one catches a typo'd digit or a negative.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Scope --attribute to inspect and document the inspect flags

--attribute was added to the shared cliFlags, which cancel, health,
start, and web all spread — so `workflow health --attribute k=v` parsed
and was silently ignored. It belongs with the other inspect-only
filters in the command's own flags, next to --runId and --since.

The configuration reference documented every shared flag but none of
the inspect-only ones, so --runId, --stepId, --hookId, --since/--until,
--withData and --decrypt had no entries at all. They now do, in an
Inspect filtering section, alongside --attribute. --status and
--workflowName were documented under bulk cancel only; both also filter
inspect listings, which is now noted where they are.

--limit's entry described a default with no bound and is now rejected
outside 1 to 1000, so it says so, and points out that individual
listings cap lower.

The attributes guide claimed filtering was available "through the
Analytics API", which is no longer the whole story: the CLI can now
discover keys and filter by them, so that section splits into a CLI half
and an API half.

* Stop dropping inspect flags silently

Three flags the caller typed were being discarded without saying so —
the same failure the World argument guards were added to remove,
reintroduced one layer up.

--attribute and --since/--until warned that the backend has no
analytics read path, but that condition is also false when --withData
asks for payloads, which only storage carries. Blaming the backend for
the caller's own flag sends them looking in the wrong place, so the
warning now names whichever applies.

inspect attributes dropped --sort entirely, explained only by a code
comment. It is forwarded now, and still left unset when absent so the
backend's alphabetical key order stands rather than the `desc` the
time-ordered listings impose.

A repeated --attribute key silently kept the last value, and a test
asserted that as if it were intended. Matching is per-key, so resolving
it means discarding a filter the caller typed: it is rejected instead.

The shared --limit entry also stated the 1-to-1000 bound that only
inspect enforces, which is wrong for cancel's own 1-to-500. The bound
moves to an inspect entry and the shared one points at both.

* Reject --attribute on listings that cannot use it

Only the runs listing filters by attributes, but the flag was parsed for
every inspect resource: `inspect steps --attribute tenant=acme` returned
a normal, unfiltered step list with no warning, as did events, hooks,
attributes, and `inspect run <id>`, which already names one run. That is
the silent drop the preceding commit set out to remove, missed one layer
up in the command itself.

Validated alongside the other flag bounds, before any backend setup, so
a flag on the wrong subcommand costs no round trip.

Covered at the command level as well as in the unit, since the defect
was not in the validator but in nothing calling it: the tests drive
`Inspect.run` with a mocked setup module and assert the backend is never
reached. Five of them fail without this change.

Reported in review; verified against a real project rather than found
by the suite, which is why the command-level coverage goes in with it.

* Resolve the test's oclif root without a URL pathname

`new URL('../..', import.meta.url).pathname` yields `/D:/a/...` on
Windows — a leading slash before the drive letter — so `Config.load`
could not find package.json and every command-level test failed there
while passing on Linux. `fileURLToPath` handles both.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Address review on the attribute flag

Attribute keys naming an Object.prototype member were rejected as
duplicates before anything was stored, because the duplicate check used
`in`, which walks the prototype. `--attribute toString=v` failed on
first sight, and `__proto__=v` would have set the prototype rather than
stored a value had it got that far. The map is null-prototype now and
the check uses Object.hasOwn.

--url and --web return before the filter is parsed, and neither
forwards it, so `inspect runs --attribute k=v --url` opened an
unfiltered view and a malformed pair skipped validation entirely. Both
are rejected: the dashboard takes no attribute filter.

--sort carried an oclif default of desc, so the "forward only when
asked" check in the attribute listing was always true and overrode the
backend's alphabetical key order. Every time-ordered listing already
falls back to desc itself, so the parser-level default is gone and the
flag now means what it says.

The docs claimed --since and --until must be supplied together, but the
CLI resolves the pair before the World sees it: --since alone is valid
and --until defaults to now. Only --until alone is rejected.

The vercel[bot] comment about ANALYTICS_MAX_ATTRIBUTE_FILTERS not being
exported was already addressed in 1811e4f0e, before #3943 landed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Address review: hoist the attribute parse, cap the limit, merge main

The INVALID_ARGUMENT handling was dead because this branch was cut from
main before #3943 landed: nothing in the tree threw that code and
WorkflowWorldError had no `field`, so both new arms were unreachable and
the field assertion in output.test.ts described an API that did not
exist here. Merging main makes all of it live, and makes the two
comments claiming the World enforces these bounds true — world-vercel
asserts them now.

parseAttributeFilters ran inside toInspectOptions, after setupCliWorld,
so a malformed pair paid for auth and a project lookup before failing.
It is parsed in the same block as the other bounds now, and
toInspectOptions receives the result. The gap was untested because the
only malformed-pair case paired it with --url, which returns before the
parse either way; there are now command-level cases for a missing
separator, an empty key, too many pairs, and a duplicate key.

--limit allowed up to 1000, but the cross-run listings cap at 100 and so
does the storage step listing a run-scoped read falls back to, so
101-1000 produced an opaque backend 400 — and on steps it depended on
whether analytics had rows for that run. Capped at 100, the smallest any
reachable listing accepts. The docs claim that listings "report the
limit they accept" was false and is gone.

--attribute with --withData warned and returned every row, which is the
failure the scope guard exists to prevent and is knowable at validation
time. It is a hard error now.

listSleeps degraded on any failure, including a plan-window 402 whose
message tells the caller to upgrade. Access, plan, and invalid-argument
failures are reported; only availability failures degrade. The comment
claiming the sibling listings degrade was wrong — none of them do — and
now says why sleeps is the exception.

Also: --sort/--since/--until/--workflowName help text and the options
type no longer say "runs only"; examples and the unknown-resource text
list attributes; listAttributes and listRuns' filter forwarding have
coverage, including both warning strings; the unreachable 'web' case is
out of the scope test; the ineffective biome suppression is gone; and
the cancel arithmetic is two statuses, so one probe is saved, not three.

* fix(cli): warn on flags inspect attributes cannot apply; bound cancel --limit

`inspect attributes` accepted --status, --runId, --stepId, --hookId and
--withData, dropped all five, and printed the full key table. --status is
the likely one: filtering runs by attribute and status together is
documented, so reaching for it on the key listing is natural and the answer
looks narrowed. Warn per flag, as the sibling listings do.

`cancel --limit` advertised 1-500. Both read paths cap at 100 — the
analytics runs listing rejects more locally, the storage listing it falls
back to caps server-side — so 101-500 always failed, and cancel's catch
handled only the plan gate and rethrew the rest with nothing printed.
Bound it to 100 and route the catch through the shared reporter.

Collapse the three actionable-error checks listSleeps had inlined into
`reportActionableApiError`, shared with `handleApiError` and cancel, so the
set cannot drift between the three callers. Fold inspect's bounds chain and
--attribute parse into `validateInspectFlags` (run() 45 -> 39).

Correct two comments: the MAX_LIMIT rationale (cross-run listings now
reject locally rather than returning an opaque 400), and listSleeps'
--interactive note, which described a partial-table reprint that cannot
happen — pages after the first are fetched inside the keypress listener,
whose rejection never reaches that catch.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(cli): forward --hookId to the listings

`--hookId` was declared as a flag, declared on `InspectCLIOptions`, and read
by `listEvents` (`correlationIdFilter = opts.hookId || opts.stepId`), but
`toInspectOptions` never copied it across. So `inspect events --hookId`
parsed, cleared every check, sent no correlationId, and returned the run's
whole event list.

Pre-existing on main, but this PR both documents the flag and adds a
`listAttributes` warning that depends on it, so the branch was unreachable
from the CLI and its unit test only passed by calling `listAttributes`
directly.

That is the gap: a listing's own tests pass options in, so they cannot see a
drop in the projection. `inspect-flag-forwarding.test.ts` goes through
`Inspect.run` instead, and pins the whole mapping key by key. Three of its
four cases fail without the one-line fix.

Karthik Kalyan 2150798ca6 feat(cli): bulk-cancel runs in a single operation (#3348)
* feat(cli): bulk-cancel runs in a single operation

Replace the per-run cancel loop in `workflow cancel` with one `cancelRuns`
call, validate `--limit` (1-500), print a compact outcome summary with
per-run lines for surfaced failures, and exit nonzero only when a run fails.
The bulk logic lives in a dependency-injected `performBulkCancel` helper so it
is unit-testable without an oclif harness.

Pranay Prakash 25715d4521 [RFC] feat(nitro): embed observability dashboard in-process at /_workflow (#2548)
* feat(nitro): embed observability dashboard in-process at /_workflow

Serve the @workflow/web observability UI inside the Nitro process at a
configurable route (default /_workflow) instead of spawning a separate
web server and 302-redirecting to it. Enabled in dev, omitted from
production builds by default (so prod bundles carry no @workflow/web
import). Never mounted on Vercel deploys (use the hosted dashboard).

- @workflow/web: add a framework-neutral `@workflow/web/handler`
  (createWorkflowWebHandler) that serves SSR + static client assets +
  RPC as one Web Request->Response handler under a runtime basename
  (asset manifest URLs + publicPath are reprefixed so the dashboard is
  self-contained under its mount). Add `@workflow/web/registry` for
  embedded-dashboard discovery; make the RPC/stream client basename-aware.
- @workflow/nitro: mount the handler in-process (Nitro v2 h3 + v3 native
  paths), gated by a new `dashboard` option (default = dev).
- @workflow/cli: `workflow web` / `inspect --web` defer to a running
  embedded dashboard instead of starting a redundant server; pass
  `--standalone` to force the standalone UI.

* refactor(nitro): normalize dashboard path once, use isNitroV2() helper

Address review feedback on the embedded dashboard:

- Normalize the dashboard mount path in one place before it feeds both
  the Nitro route registration (`[path, path + '/**']`) and the handler
  `basename`. Force a single leading slash, strip trailing slashes, and
  reject the root mount, so a custom `path` can't make the route and the
  handler's internal `normalizeBasename` disagree.
- Replace the handler-level `!nitro.routing` v2 checks with the existing
  `isNitroV2()` helper for consistent v2/v3 detection.

Nathan Rajlich e8bc7d6aad feat: decrypt sealed payloads in the dashboard and CLI (#3146)
* feat: decrypt sealed payloads in the dashboard and CLI

Without this, any payload another run sealed to this one renders as a lock
icon with no way to open it — a visible regression for anyone debugging a
run that received a cross-deployment hook resumption. The user is entitled
to read the data and has already supplied the key; only the plumbing was
missing.

`hydrateDataWithKey` now delegates to the envelope layer, which dispatches
on the format prefix, instead of unconditionally running AES-GCM. All four
o11y key-resolution sites (web-shared hydration, the web stream reader,
and both CLI `--decrypt` paths) resolve the full capability rather than
just the symmetric key. Each already had the raw 32 bytes in hand, so this
costs one extra derivation and no additional requests.

A caller that supplies only a symmetric key still gets the ciphertext
placeholder for sealed payloads rather than a decryption error, since that
key never could have opened them.

**Browser bundling.** The obvious import for the new helper is
`@workflow/core/serialization`, but that module graph reaches `node:util`
and `node:async_hooks` and cannot be bundled for the browser — which is
what `@workflow/core/serialization-format` exists to avoid. The key
helpers are re-exported from that browser-safe entrypoint instead, and the
two browser consumers import from there; the CLI keeps the direct import
since it runs on Node. Verified by walking the built import graph: the
entrypoint reaches 6 modules and zero Node built-ins.

Unrelated: `pnpm --filter @workflow/web build` currently fails on `main`
too (`reducers/common.js` importing `node:util`). Turbo caching had been
hiding it; touching core caused a cache miss that surfaced it. Not
addressed here.

* review: narrow the o11y decrypt key type and dedupe an import

- `hydrateDataWithKey` accepted `PayloadKey`, which includes `SealTarget`.
  A seal target holds only a public key, so it can open neither scheme —
  passing one compiled fine and then always failed at runtime. Added a
  `DecryptionKey` alias (`CryptoKey | RunPayloadKeys`) and narrowed the
  signature, so that misuse is now a compile error. A `@ts-expect-error`
  test pins the guarantee.
- `hydrateResourceIOAsync` dynamically imported
  `@workflow/core/serialization-format` twice. Destructure both bindings
  from the single existing import instead.

* review: record @workflow/web in the changeset

This PR changes the dashboard's stream reader
(`packages/web/app/lib/hooks/use-stream-reader.ts`) so it dispatches on the
envelope format and can read sealed (`encp`) frames, but the changeset listed
only core, web-shared and cli.

`@workflow/web` is published, so without an entry the change would still ship —
just as an incidental dependency bump, with nothing in that package's release
notes explaining that sealed-stream decryption landed.

Nathan Rajlich c31e30caac cli: show world-specific run fields in inspect output via World.describeRun (#2896)
* cli: show run region in inspect output via World.regionForRunId

Adds an optional reverse-lookup hook to the World interface —
regionForRunId(runId): string | null — so tooling can display a run's
region generically. Worlds without a regional dimension simply omit
the hook and no region output appears.

- @workflow/world: new optional interface member (documented: must not
  throw; null = undeterminable)
- @workflow/world-vercel: implements it from the run-ID region tag
  (tagged -> embedded region, untagged legacy -> default region,
  malformed -> null)
- @workflow/cli: 'workflow inspect runs' gains a region column
  (between workflowName and status) and 'workflow inspect run <id>'
  a region property, in both table and JSON output — only when the
  world defines the hook

* Generalize the inspect hook: World.describeRun display fields

Replaces regionForRunId on the World interface with describeRun, per
review: worlds may want to expose more than a region, and the
information need not be encoded in the run ID — describeRun receives
the run entity itself (loosely typed, mirroring createRunId), so a
world can derive fields from executionContext or any other property.
Each returned key becomes an inspect column/property; null values are
preserved in structured output ('applicable but undeterminable' vs.
the hook being absent entirely).

- world-vercel: describeRun returns { region } decoded from the run
  ID tag (regionForRunId stays exported as a utility); entities
  without a usable runId contribute nothing
- CLI listing: columns come from the union of keys the world returns
  for the page, inserted before status; both analytics and storage
  paths; detached call site binds this
- CLI showRun: merges the world fields into detail/JSON output via a
  method-style call (preserves this), keeping nulls
- tests: field merging (multi-key), null preservation in JSON, hook
  absent, and world-vercel describeRun coverage incl. no-runId
  entities

* cli: evaluate describeRun defensively

Per review: the World interface says describeRun is pure and must not
throw, but it is an external extension point and the CLI should not
trust that. New safeWorldFields helper, used by both the listing and
showRun paths:

- a throwing implementation contributes no fields instead of crashing
  the inspect command
- keys that already exist on the run row are dropped, so a world can
  never overwrite canonical fields (status, runId, ...) in output

Tests: canonical fields survive a clobbering describeRun (extra keys
still merged); a throwing describeRun leaves rows untouched and the
command succeeds.

* Allow async describeRun implementations

Per review: widening a sync signature to async later would break every
consumer, while accepting sync-or-async from day one is free — sync
implementations (like world-vercel's) remain valid, and consumers
simply await, which handles both. The performance intent lives on as
documented guidance: the hook is called once per displayed run, so
implementations should stay cheap and avoid I/O; the CLI evaluates a
page's rows concurrently so an async world costs one await per page,
not per row. Promise rejections get the same treatment as throws:
no fields, never a crash.

Karthik Kalyan fe327e69e2 [world][web][cli] o11y: window-aware runs listing (#2812)
* web: infinite scroll for the runs table

Replace Previous/Next cursor paging with front-style infinite scroll:
a useInfiniteList hook accumulates cursor pages with per-run dedup and
generation-guarded resets, and useLoadMoreOnScroll drives loadMore from
an IntersectionObserver sentinel (400px prefetch margin, guarded against
double-fetch, observed against the table's scroll container). Footer now
shows the loaded count and the analytics lookback window.

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

* web: back the runs infinite list with SWR so tab switches serve from cache

Rewrite useInfiniteList on useSWRInfinite: pages are keyed by
[cacheKey, cursor] in SWR's global cache, so unmount/remount (switching
tabs) restores fetched pages instantly instead of refetching. Revalidation
is conservative because analytics list queries are expensive:
revalidateFirstPage and revalidateIfStale are off; freshness comes from
the Refresh button and the visibility-change auto-reload, which map to
reload() (reset to first page + revalidate).

* world: expose startTime/endTime on analytics runs listing

The workflow-server /v2/analytics/runs endpoint has accepted a bounded
startTime/endTime window since it shipped, and is significantly faster
with one (the window prunes the ClickHouse scan: ~2s for 12h vs ~8s for
the default 30-day entitlement window). The world client never exposed
the params, so the CLI and web UI could only issue windowless requests.
Pass them through so clients can send bounded windows (e.g. a period
picker like front's workflows o11y).

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

* web: front-style period picker for the runs list

Add a time-window picker (1h/6h/24h/3d/7d/30d, default 24h, URL-backed
via ?period=) that sends an explicit startTime/endTime window through
fetchRuns -> world.analytics.runs.list, keeping the ClickHouse scan
bounded. The window is frozen per selection/refresh so all cursor pages
share the same bounds, and it participates in the SWR cache key.

Plan tiers are honored data-driven from the server's pageInfo: presets
longer than the plan's observability lookback are disabled in the picker
(labeled Observability Plus when an upgrade is available), and a 402
observability-upgrade-required response renders through the existing
upgrade-required error handling. The footer now labels the selected
window instead of the plan lookback. The runtime (local) fallback path
ignores the window since the storage API has no time filter.

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

* web: allow status filtering without a workflow name filter

The status dropdown was disabled on Vercel backends until a workflow was
selected — a limitation of the runtime DynamoDB API's index design. The
runs list now reads via world.analytics, whose ClickHouse query filters
derived status independently of workflowName, so drop the guard.

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

* cli: time-window flags for runs listing; widen name lookups past the default window

The analytics backend now defaults windowless runs listings to the
trailing 24h. Replicate the web's window support in the CLI:

- 'workflow inspect runs' gains --since/--until (relative durations like
  30m/12h/7d/2w, or timestamps) which are sent as an explicit
  startTime/endTime window. Out-of-plan windows surface through the
  existing observability-upgrade-required handling; non-analytics
  backends warn that the flags are ignored.
- 'workflow start <name>' resolves the workflow's latest run via a
  windowless (default-window) listing and now retries across the plan's
  whole observability window on a miss, so names idle for more than a
  day keep resolving.
- Bulk 'workflow cancel' matches across the plan window up front — a run
  can sleep or wait on a hook for days without recent events, so the
  default recent window must not bound cancellation matching.

* chore: tighten changeset descriptions

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

* web: persist frozen listing windows across remounts; minimize lockfile diff

Address review findings:

- The frozen startTime/endTime lived in component state, but RunsTable
  fully remounts on tab switches, so every remount minted a new SWR cache
  key — the cached-pages restore never hit and cache entries grew
  unboundedly (one per key, including every 5s local-backend poll tick).
  Move the frozen windows to a module-scope store keyed by period: a
  remount reuses the stored window (same cache key, instant restore), and
  the window only advances on explicit refresh/reload. Non-analytics
  backends now send no window at all (the runtime APIs ignore it anyway),
  which also hides the period picker and window label there.

- Regenerate pnpm-lock.yaml from main so the diff contains only the swr
  addition (plus its own use-sync-external-store dependency), dropping
  the unrelated docs-importer radix-ui re-resolutions.

Karthik Kalyan 54f46f976d cli: restore dynamic world loading for community backends (#2806)
* cli: restore dynamic world loading for community backends

Since #2752 moved world selection to static injection, setupCliWorld only
constructed the vercel, local, and postgres worlds explicitly and threw
'Unsupported workflow backend' for anything else — breaking community
worlds (e.g. @workflow-worlds/turso) that previously loaded through the
dynamic createWorld() in @workflow/core/runtime.

Generalize the postgres-only dynamic path: any backend other than
vercel/local is now resolved from the user's project directory and loaded
via its createWorld() export, matching @workflow/web's world construction
(#2804), with clear errors when the package is missing or does not export
createWorld().

Karthik Kalyan 17d4ce2253 cli: read list views from world.analytics when available (#2648)
* Add workflow analytics world APIs

* cli: read list views from world.analytics when available

inspect list views (runs, steps, events, hooks, sleeps) now read from the
optional world.analytics namespace when the active backend provides one,
falling back to the runtime storage APIs otherwise. Payload and detail views
are unchanged. Deprecate --with-data for list views; payloads are viewable
per-resource via 'inspect <resource> <id>'.

* cli: keep hook listing on the runtime storage API

The analytics read path omits ownerId (and the secret hook token), so routing
hook listing through it silently drops the ownerId column. Keep inspect hooks
on the runtime APIs, consistent with the web observability UI. Runs, steps,
events, and sleeps continue to use the analytics read path when available.

Pranay Prakash cb181392b9 feat(cli): print run deep links with --url, fix dashboard route (#2467)
Add a `--url` flag to `inspect`/`web` that prints a run's observability
dashboard deep link to stdout and exits — no browser, no local server —
so scripts and agents can share a link instead of opening a UI.

Fix the Vercel dashboard URL to the current
`…/workflows/runs/<id>?environment=<env>` route (drop the legacy
`/observability` segment) and respect `--env`. Apply the same route fix
to the e2e helpers, CI aggregation scripts, and the nextjs-turbopack
workbench. Document deep-linking in the workflow skill and observability

Karthik Kalyan 5bf2c167a5 Add serializable reviver compatibility check (#2250) 2026-06-04 12:50:32 -07:00
Nathan Rajlich 5f22832675 Serialize run_failed/step_failed errors through serialization pipeline (#1851)
* Serialize run_failed/step_failed errors through serialization pipeline

Switch run_failed, step_failed, and step_retrying events to persist
the full thrown value via the workflow serialization pipeline (as
SerializedData / Uint8Array) instead of a lossy { message, stack, code }
StructuredError shape. Consumers hydrate via hydrateRunError /
hydrateStepError to reconstruct the original thrown value, preserving
Error subclass identity, cause chains, and custom properties.

- WorkflowRun.error and Step.error are now SerializedData
- WorkflowRun gains a top-level errorCode plaintext field
- WorkflowRunFailedError.cause is now the hydrated thrown value
- Adds world-postgres migration 0010_add_error_code.sql
- Legacy pre-pipeline errorJson records surface as undefined on read

* Update Next.js workbenches for new WorkflowRunFailedError.cause type

cause is now `unknown` (the hydrated thrown value) rather than
`Error & { code }`. Defensively extract Error-shaped fields when the
hydrated value is an Error, otherwise round-trip the raw value, and
expose the new `errorCode` classification field.

* Update docs for WorkflowRunFailedError.cause: unknown

The hydrated `cause` is now `unknown` (the original thrown value
through the serialization pipeline) and the error classification has
moved to the top-level `errorCode` property. Update the two affected
docs pages and the `TSDoc` interface to reflect the new shape, and
narrow `cause` with `instanceof Error` before accessing fields.

* Expand test coverage for the run/step error serialization pipeline

Unit tests:
- 19 new dehydrate/hydrate{Step,Run}Error round-trip tests covering
  FatalError, plain Error, built-in Error subclasses, non-Error thrown
  values (string, plain object), cause chains, encryption round-trip,
  the binary format prefix contract, and the unserializable / unknown-
  format error paths.
- 5 new tests for Run.returnValue when the run is failed: hydrated
  FatalError + cause as cause, plain Error preservation, non-Error
  thrown values surfaced verbatim, cross-class cause chains, and the
  hydration-failure fallback that still surfaces errorCode.

E2E tests (new, in 99_e2e.ts + e2e.test.ts):
- Step throw → workflow catch round-trips a FatalError with a TypeError
  cause chain, asserting class identity, fatal marker, and cause name +
  message all survive the step_failed event pipeline.
- Workflow throw → run_failed reaches  status with the new
  top-level errorCode metadata exposed (cause-shape coverage lives at
  the unit level, since the SWC plugin's class registration is not
  invoked in the plain-Node e2e runner).
- Workflow throw of a non-Error value round-trips that value verbatim
  as WorkflowRunFailedError.cause.

Adjustments to existing assertions:
- error.cause is now ; tests narrow with
  and use the new top-level  field instead of .
- step.error / run.error from CLI --withData are now hydrated payloads:
  unregistered class instances surface as Instance refs whose
  carries the original message + stack.

Observability hydration:
- hydrateStepIO / hydrateWorkflowIO in serialization-format.ts now
  hydrate the  field via hydrateData, so the CLI and web UI
  continue to surface readable run/step error messages and stacks.

* Tighten error serialization changeset description

* Trim error serialization changeset to a single sentence

* Resolve FatalError/RetryableError revivers via cross-realm registry

When a workflow runs in a Node `vm` context, its bundled
`@workflow/errors` is a different module instance than the host's
import (separate prototype chains, separate class identity). Calling
`new FatalError(...)` from the host-side reviver produces a
host-realm instance that fails `err instanceof FatalError` checks
in the workflow code — even when the serialized payload was correctly
tagged via the dedicated `FatalError` reducer.

Surfaced by the local-prod e2e "step throw round-trips FatalError"
test on Next.js Turbopack: each route gets its own bundled chunk, so
the flow handler's `@workflow/errors` and the workflow VM bundle's
`@workflow/errors` are two distinct copies of the same module.

Fix:

- Each bundled copy of `@workflow/errors` self-registers its
  `FatalError` and `RetryableError` classes on `globalThis` via
  `Symbol.for("@workflow/errors//FatalError")` /
  `Symbol.for("@workflow/errors//RetryableError")`. First load wins
  per realm; the descriptor is non-writable / non-configurable to make
  accidental clobbering loud.

- The revivers in `@workflow/core`'s common reducers module read the
  consumer's `globalThis` (passed in as `global`) to pick up the
  realm-local class, falling back to the host-imported class when no
  registration is present (e.g. in the CLI / test runner).

* Use `types.isNativeError` to remap workflow stacks across VM realms

The runtime's run-failure path computes a source-map-remapped stack
and then assigns it back onto the thrown value via `if (err
instanceof Error) err.stack = errorStack`. Workflows run inside a
Node `vm` context, so a workflow-thrown error is an instance of the
VM realm's `Error` — `instanceof` against the host realm's
`Error` returns `false`, the assignment is skipped, and the
serialized `run_failed` event carries the un-remapped (bundled-line-
number) stack instead of the source-mapped one.

Switch the gate to `types.isNativeError`, which uses V8's internal
type tag and works across realms — same approach already in place
for the serialization reducers.

Caught by the local-prod e2e "nested function calls preserve message
and stack trace" and "cross-file imports preserve message and stack
trace" tests, which assert that the persisted run-error stack
contains `99_e2e.ts` / `helpers.ts`.

* Sync CLI revivers with core + add toJSON shim for Error subclasses

Two issues with the CLI's hand-rolled reviver list:

1. It hadn't been updated for the new first-class Error subclass
   reducers (`TypeError`, `RangeError`, `FatalError`, `RetryableError`,
   etc.). devalue throws "Unknown type X" when it encounters a
   reduced value with no matching reviver, and `hydrateResourceIO`
   swallows that error and surfaces the raw `Uint8Array` payload —
   so `step.error` / `run.error` showed up as raw byte dumps in
   `workflow inspect` output.

2. Even with all the right revivers, `Error.prototype`'s `message`
   / `stack` / `cause` are non-enumerable, so `JSON.stringify`
   (used by `workflow inspect --json`) drops them — leaving the
   subclass-specific enumerable fields (e.g. `FatalError.fatal`)
   visible but the actual error data missing.

Fix:

- Build the CLI reviver set on top of `getCommonRevivers()` from
  `@workflow/core` so the CLI stays in sync with the runtime's
  reducer set automatically. New core reducers/revivers will Just
  Work without any CLI-side change.

- Wrap each Error reviver from the common set with a thin shim that
  attaches a non-enumerable `toJSON` method to the produced
  `Error` instance. `JSON.stringify` calls `toJSON` and gets a
  full object (`name` + `message` + `stack` + `cause` + any
  enumerable subclass fields like `fatal` / `retryAfter` /
  `errors`); `util.inspect` ignores `toJSON` and renders the
  canonical `Error: msg\\n at ...` format. Best of both worlds for
  CLI output without compromising the runtime hydration path.

Caught by the local-prod e2e "basic step error preserves" and
"cross-file step error preserves" tests, which read
`failedStep.error.message` / `.stack` from the CLI's JSON output.

* Clarify parseErrorJson JSDoc to match its always-null return

The previous JSDoc described preserving legacy values "for best-effort
hydration" which contradicted the implementation, where legacy errors
are intentionally surfaced as absent (the pre-pipeline shapes can't be
hydrated by the new error revivers). Rewrite the comment so the contract
matches behavior. Also rename the now-unused parameter to `_errorJson`
to reflect that the function ignores it.

Caught by a code review on #1851.

* Refine error-handler ergonomics on the step / run hot paths

Three review-driven adjustments that all touch the queue handlers and
their interaction with the error serialization pipeline:

1. Memoize the per-run encryption key fetch. The step handler used to
   eagerly fetch + import the key at the top of every step delivery so
   the value would be in scope for every potential dehydrateStepError
   path. That pessimized step-started early-return cases (the fetch
   happens unconditionally even when the step never reaches user code)
   and required duplicating the same boilerplate at four call sites in
   runtime.ts. Introduce `memoizeEncryptionKey(world, run)` in
   runtime/helpers.ts that returns a lazy, single-fetch accessor;
   step-handler / runtime call sites use `await getEncryptionKey()`
   instead. The first caller pays the fetch cost, subsequent callers
   await the cached promise, and steps that fail before any
   encryption-aware work happens skip the fetch entirely.

2. Preserve the prior attempt's serialized error as the cause on the
   defensive max-retries-exceeded `step_failed` re-invocation guard.
   The existing comment explicitly opted out of cause attachment, but
   the symmetric post-failure path below already does this and the
   reviewer is right that consumers shouldn't have to walk the
   step_retrying event history to recover the underlying error. Best-
   effort: if hydration of the prior `step.error` throws, fall back
   to a FatalError without cause rather than letting the event write
   itself fail.

3. Document the intentional `unflatten` throw in
   `hydrateStepError` / `hydrateRunError` for non-Uint8Array input.
   SDK version is pinned per workflow run via skew protection so the
   non-binary branch is dead in production; if a misshapen value
   reaches it, surfacing the throw via the surrounding o11y try/catch
   is more debuggable than masking it. Add a comment so future
   reviewers don't reach for a defensive fallback.

A standalone `falls back to plaintext` suggestion on the run_failed
key fetch was rejected: when encryption is configured we should fail
loudly rather than silently emit plaintext error data. The queue's
redelivery semantics will retry the key fetch; persistent KMS outages
get logged with the existing "persistent error preventing the run from
being terminated" message rather than a security regression.

* Hydrate `event.eventData.error` in event listings

`hydrateEventData` enumerated the per-event fields that need
hydration (`result`, `input`, `output`, `metadata`, `payload`)
but omitted the new `error` field on `step_failed`,
`step_retrying`, and `run_failed` events. Without this branch,
o11y tools that list events (e.g. `workflow inspect events`) surface
the raw `Uint8Array` payload instead of a hydrated
`{ name, message, stack, … }` object even though the entity-level
`Run.error` / `Step.error` paths already hydrate.

Mirrors the existing per-field branches; the `try/catch` leaves the
field un-hydrated on parse failure rather than failing the whole
event view. Adds a unit test.

* Use `.is()` static checks in `classifyRunError` for cross-realm safety

Workflows execute inside a separate `vm` realm: the
`WorkflowRuntimeError` class bundled into the workflow code and the
host-imported one are distinct constructors, so an
`err instanceof WorkflowRuntimeError` check on a VM-thrown error
returns `false` and we'd misclassify genuine runtime errors (corrupted
event log, missing timestamps, workflow/step not registered) as user
errors.

Switch to each subclass's `.is()` static (a name-based duck check that
works across realms). Since `WorkflowRuntimeError.is` only matches its
own concrete name, enumerate every concrete subclass we want to
recognize (`StepNotRegisteredError`, `WorkflowNotRegisteredError`)
in a `RUNTIME_ERROR_CHECKS` table; keep that table in sync with the
class hierarchy in `@workflow/errors`.

Existing `classify-error.test.ts` already covers `WorkflowRuntimeError`
and `WorkflowNotRegisteredError` cases — both still pass.

* Add e2e coverage for step throws of non-Error values

We had `errorWorkflowThrowNonErrorValue` (workflow body throws a plain
object — round-trips verbatim as `WorkflowRunFailedError.cause`) but
no symmetric coverage for the step-throw side. Step-throw goes through
a different code path: non-Error values aren't recognized as
`FatalError` (no `name === 'FatalError'`) nor `RetryableError`,
so they take the transient retry path. After max retries the runtime
wraps the original thrown value as `cause` on a fresh `FatalError`
which the workflow's catch block then sees.

Add a workflow that throws a recognizable plain object from a step
with `maxRetries = 0` (so we exhaust on first attempt and avoid a
long test wait) and a workflow that asserts the wrapped FatalError
shape: `isFatal`, `instanceof FatalError`, message includes the
original object's serialized form, `cause` is the original non-Error
object verbatim with structure preserved.

Documents the current retry-then-wrap behavior so any future change
to "non-Error throws skip retries" semantics has to update the test.

* Note legacy postgres error-data loss in the run/step error changeset

Pre-upgrade failed runs that wrote into world-postgres's deprecated
`error` text column can't be hydrated through the new pipeline (the
shape is incompatible with the new revivers). The new runtime
intentionally surfaces them as `error: undefined` on read; the
original payload is still readable directly from the `errorJson`
column for manual inspection. Add a one-sentence note to the
changeset's migration text so consumers upgrading don't get blindsided
by suddenly-empty error fields on historical runs.

Nathan Rajlich ac09f40771 feat: add clickable Run reference rendering in observability UI (#1681)
* feat: add clickable Run reference rendering in observability UI

When a serialized Run object appears in step input/output data, it is
now rendered as a clickable purple badge showing the runId. Clicking
navigates to the target run's detail page.

Changes:
- serialization-format.ts: Add RunRef type, isRunRef(), serializedRunToRunRef(),
  and 'Run' entry in observabilityRevivers
- data-inspector.tsx: Add RunRefInline component (purple badge), RunClickContext,
  collapseRefs() to make refs non-expandable in ObjectInspector
- attribute-panel.tsx: Thread onRunClick prop, wrap in RunClickContext.Provider
- entity-detail-panel.tsx: Thread onRunClick prop
- run-trace-view.tsx: Thread onRunClick prop
- workflow-trace-view.tsx: Thread onRunClick prop, reset selected span on run change
- trace-span-construction.ts: Show step name for builtin steps instead of empty string
- hydration.ts: Re-export RunRef types
- run-detail-view.tsx: Add handleRunRefClick that navigates to /run/{targetRunId}

* fix: guard collapseRefs against class instances and memoize result

Only recurse into plain objects (prototype is Object.prototype or null)
to avoid stripping class instances like Date, Error, Map, etc. that
have their own rendering in NodeRenderer. Also memoize the collapsed
result to avoid recomputing on every render.

* fix: detect Run instances in Instance reviver instead of fake Run serde key

The Run class goes through the standard Instance serialization pipeline
(WORKFLOW_SERIALIZE/WORKFLOW_DESERIALIZE), not a dedicated 'Run' key.
Move the RunRef detection into serializedInstanceToRef() which checks
if the className is 'Run' and the data contains a runId string, then
returns a RunRef instead of a generic ClassInstanceRef.

* fix: use serializedInstanceToRef in web and CLI Instance revivers

Both the web and CLI hydration layers override the observabilityRevivers
Instance handler with their own implementation (for react-inspector
named constructors and CLI inspect.custom respectively), bypassing the
RunRef detection in serializedInstanceToRef. Fix by calling
serializedInstanceToRef first and returning a RunRef when detected.

Nathan Rajlich 83dbd46456 Stop reading WORKFLOW_VERCEL_* env vars at runtime to prevent unintended proxy routing (#1304)
* Stop reading WORKFLOW_VERCEL_* env vars at runtime to prevent unintended proxy routing

createWorld() in core no longer reads WORKFLOW_VERCEL_PROJECT, WORKFLOW_VERCEL_TEAM,
WORKFLOW_VERCEL_AUTH_TOKEN, WORKFLOW_VERCEL_ENV, or WORKFLOW_VERCEL_PROJECT_NAME from
process.env. These env vars are intended for CLI/observability tooling only, and
reading them at runtime caused all workflow traffic to route through the
api.vercel.com proxy when users mistakenly set them as Vercel project env vars.

The Vercel runtime already provides everything needed: OIDC tokens for auth,
VERCEL_PROJECT_ID for encryption context, and VERCEL_DEPLOYMENT_ID for world
selection. createWorld() now calls createVercelWorld() with no config.

A warning is emitted if the env vars are detected at runtime, telling users to
remove them.

The CLI and e2e tests are updated to call createVercelWorld() directly with an
explicit config object and inject via setWorld(), keeping the WORKFLOW_VERCEL_*
env vars scoped to tooling contexts only.

* Refactor inferVercelEnvVars to return config instead of relying on process.env

inferVercelEnvVars() now returns a VercelEnvVars object with the resolved
config values. setup.ts uses the returned object directly for
createVercelWorld() instead of re-reading from process.env via getEnvVars().

The writeEnvVars() calls inside inferVercelEnvVars are consolidated into a
single call at the end, retained only for the embedded web UI which reads
process.env as a fallback in its server actions. The scattered writeEnvVars
calls after each inference step are removed.

* Address review: consistent e2e gate and expanded warning

- Use WORKFLOW_VERCEL_ENV as the gate in both e2e.test.ts and
  bench.bench.ts for consistency (was WORKFLOW_VERCEL_AUTH_TOKEN in
  e2e.test.ts, WORKFLOW_VERCEL_ENV in bench.bench.ts)
- Expand the misconfiguration warning to also detect
  WORKFLOW_VERCEL_AUTH_TOKEN and WORKFLOW_VERCEL_ENV, listing the
  specific env vars that are set

* Add changeset

- Remove duplicate AttributePanel/EventsList rendering in entity-detail-panel.tsx.
  Thread encryptionKey into the existing EventsList render instead.
- Restore missing re-exports (isClassInstanceRef, isStreamId, isStreamRef)
  in web-shared/src/index.ts to maintain backwards compatibility.
- Add 'error' to replaceEncryptedWithMarkers field list in web-shared
  hydration.ts to match the decrypt path.
- Extend CLI hydration eventData decrypt/placeholder to cover all known
  serialized fields (output, metadata, payload) not just result/input.
- Add 'error' to CLI replaceEncryptedWithRef field list.
- Remove invalid encryptionKey option from useWorkflowResourceData call
  (hook doesn't support it yet), add TODO.
- Add 4 unit tests for hydrateDataWithKey in serialization-format.test.ts:
  encrypted+key decrypts, encrypted+noKey returns raw, non-encrypted
  hydrates normally, non-Uint8Array legacy data passes through.

* feat: thread encryptionKey through useWorkflowResourceData hook

Instead of leaving a TODO, implement the encryptionKey support directly:
- Add optional encryptionKey to useWorkflowResourceData options
- When key is available, use hydrateResourceIOWithKey (async decrypt)
  instead of hydrateResourceIO for all resource types
- Remove redundant hydrateResourceIO from fetchResourceWithCorrelationId

* fix: address comprehensive review feedback on PR #1256

High priority:
- Gate showStream key fetch on --decrypt flag, warn when --decrypt
  used without --run
- Fix workflow-server-actions.server.ts missing cryptoKey params
  (undefined for both getExternalRevivers and getDeserializeStream)
- Add hydration + decryption to listEvents (was completely missing)
- Fix error/eventData display: check isEncryptedMarker before
  hasDisplayContent so encrypted markers don't silently disappear

Medium priority:
- handleDecrypt: use toast.error() instead of console.error for
  user-visible feedback on key fetch failures
- CLI maybeDecryptFields: add try/catch with graceful fallback to
  encrypted placeholders + warning, also decrypt error field
- use-resource-data: wrap hook/sleep hydrate() in try/catch to
  prevent stuck loading state on decryption errors
- Decrypt button: also check run.error and step input/output for
  encrypted markers, not just run.input/output

Low priority:
- event-list-view: add .catch() to re-load useEffect promise
- Export ENCRYPTED_DISPLAY_NAME from hydration.ts and import in
  data-inspector.tsx instead of raw 'Encrypted' string

Nathan Rajlich 7618ac36c2 Wire AES-GCM encryption into serialization layer (#1251)
* fix(core): chain unconsumed event check onto promiseQueue to prevent false positives

The EventsConsumer's unconsumed event check (setTimeout(0)) was racing
against the promiseQueue's async deserialization. When parallel steps
completed and their hydrateStepReturnValue did real async work (e.g.,
decryption), the setTimeout(0) fired before the promise chain resolved
the step results and triggered the next subscribe() call. This caused
step_created events for sequential steps to be falsely flagged as
unconsumed/orphaned.

Fix: chain the unconsumed check onto the promiseQueue via getPromiseQueue()
so it only fires after all pending async work completes. Use
process.nextTick (not setTimeout) after the queue drains to give
synchronous subscribe() calls from resolved user code a chance to cancel.
Version-based cancellation replaces clearTimeout since the check is now
promise-based.

Adds getPromiseQueue option to EventsConsumerOptions. The workflow.ts
context uses a getter/setter to keep the promiseQueue holder in sync.

Reproduction test: parallel steps A+B with 10ms mock deserialization
delay, followed by sequential step C. Previously failed with
'Unconsumed event: step_created(C)'. Now passes.

* fix: chain hydrateWorkflowArguments onto promiseQueue to prevent false unconsumed events

The unconsumed event check was firing during the async gap between
run_started consumption and the workflow function subscribing its
first step callbacks. This happened because hydrateWorkflowArguments
is async, and during its await, the EventsConsumer advanced to
step_created events that had no subscriber yet.

Fix: chain hydrateWorkflowArguments onto the promiseQueue so the
unconsumed check (which waits for the queue to drain) doesn't fire
until after the workflow arguments are hydrated and the workflow
function has been invoked.

* fix: use setTimeout(0) macrotask for unconsumed check to ensure VM promise propagation completes

The process.nextTick-based unconsumed check was still racing against
VM promise propagation. After promiseQueue resolves and the user code's
resolve() fires, there are multiple microtask hops through the VM
boundary before the workflow code actually calls subscribe() for the
next steps. process.nextTick fires before those VM microtasks complete.

setTimeout(0) is a macrotask that is guaranteed to fire only after ALL
microtasks (including VM promise chain propagation) have drained. The
pendingUnconsumedTimeout handle is stored and cleared in subscribe()
to prevent keeping the event loop alive unnecessarily.

* fix: increase unconsumed event check delay to 100ms for cross-VM promise propagation

setTimeout(0) is insufficient because Node.js does not guarantee that
macrotasks fire after all cross-context (VM boundary) microtasks settle.
After promiseQueue resolves and resolve() fires in the host context,
there are multiple microtask hops through the VM boundary before the
workflow code actually calls subscribe(). A 100ms delay provides
sufficient time for this propagation while still detecting truly
orphaned events promptly.

Also update sleep.test.ts to wait 200ms for the unconsumed check.

* Fix review comments: cache stream encryption key, remove redundant casts, fix stale comments

* Trying to clean up some type non-sense

* fix: restore world-vercel files to main versions

The rebase incorrectly picked up older versions of these files from
early encryption branch commits. The main versions are correct and
up-to-date.

* fix: add type cast for hydrateStepReturnValue return in hook.ts

* fix: address review feedback on encryption PR

- Remove Vercel-specific error message from maybeDecrypt (core should
  not reference VERCEL_DEPLOYMENT_KEY)
- Move stream encryption/decryption from transport layer
  (WorkflowServerReadableStream/WritableStream) to framing layer
  (getSerializeStream/getDeserializeStream). Frame length headers stay
  in the clear so frame boundaries are always parseable regardless of
  transport chunking; encryption wraps the frame payload.
- Remove explicit Promise<unknown> return types from all 4 hydrate
  functions. On main these had inferred types (any from devalue),
  so callers didn't need casts. The encryption branch added explicit
  annotations that broke this.
- Revert unnecessary type casts in run.ts, step-handler.ts, hook.ts
  that were only needed due to the explicit Promise<unknown> annotations
- Revert closureVars type from unknown back to Record<string, any>
  in context-storage.ts to match the contract with getClosureVars
- Fix hydrateWorkflowArguments JSDoc for unused _runId parameter

* Revert more unnecessary changes

* cleanup: remove unused runId param, deduplicate processFrames, add legacy comments

- Remove unused _runId parameter from WorkflowServerReadableStream
  constructor and all 4 call sites
- Deduplicate processFrames decryption: decrypt first and reassign
  format/payload, then fall through to single deserialization path
- Add comments on all legacy non-Uint8Array branches explaining when
  this happens (specVersion 1 runs stored data as plain JSON arrays)
- Fix duplicate code block in hydrateStepReturnValue

* feat: wire cryptoKey through stream serialize/deserialize pipeline

Thread the encryption key through the entire stream serialization chain
so that ReadableStream and WritableStream values are encrypted/decrypted
at the framing level.

- Add optional cryptoKey param to getExternalReducers, getStepReducers,
  getExternalRevivers, getStepRevivers
- Pass cryptoKey to getSerializeStream/getDeserializeStream at all 8
  internal call sites within reducers/revivers
- Thread key from dehydrate/hydrate functions into their reducers/revivers
- Cache encryption key in Run class (resolved once via getEncryptionKey(),
  reused for returnValue, getReadable(), etc.)
- Make Run#getReadable() async to resolve the cached key before creating
  the deserialize stream
- Add encryptionKey to step context storage so getWritable() can access
  it during step execution

* fix: make cryptoKey required-but-nullable to prevent silent omission, add stream encryption tests

Change cryptoKey parameter from optional (cryptoKey?) to required-but-
nullable (cryptoKey: CryptoKey | undefined) on all 6 functions:
- getSerializeStream, getDeserializeStream
- getExternalReducers, getStepReducers
- getExternalRevivers, getStepRevivers

This ensures every call site must explicitly pass the key or undefined,
making it impossible to accidentally omit it and silently skip encryption.

Add 7 stream encryption round-trip tests:
- Encrypted frames have 'encr' prefix inside length header
- Full round-trip: encrypt serialize -> decrypt deserialize
- Concatenated encrypted frames (transport coalescing)
- Split encrypted frames (transport splitting)
- Error when encrypted data encountered without key
- No encryption when key is undefined
- Large payload round-trip

Full audit confirms all encryption key threading is complete:
- All 8 dehydrate/hydrate functions pass key to reducers/revivers
- All stream serialize/deserialize call sites pass key
- Run class caches key for reuse across returnValue and getReadable()
- Step context storage carries key for getWritable()

* fix: keep Run#getReadable() sync, resolve encryption key lazily in streams

- Revert Run#getReadable() to synchronous (non-breaking API).
  The encryption key is passed as a Promise through the chain and
  resolved lazily inside the first async transform() call.
- Add EncryptionKeyParam type alias that accepts CryptoKey, undefined,
  or Promise<CryptoKey | undefined>. Used by getSerializeStream,
  getDeserializeStream, and all reducer/reviver functions.
- Key promises are resolved once on first use via a keyState cache
  object inside each stream's transform closure.
- Fix CLI showStream to resolve encryption key from world when runId
  is provided via --run flag, instead of passing undefined.
- Remove incorrect CLI warning that --run is not supported for streams
  (it is now needed for encrypted stream decryption).

* .

* fix: address review feedback from PR #1251

- Fix 4 broken dehydrateWorkflowArguments calls in workflow.test.ts
  that were passing ops as runId (missing runId and key params)
- Use WorkflowRuntimeError instead of plain Error in decodeFormatPrefix
  for unknown serialization formats, for consistency and programmatic
  error handling
- Document maybeDecrypt throw behavior: callers should be aware this
  surfaces as a rejected promise during key rotation/misconfiguration
- Document key-fetch rejection timing in streams: promise rejection
  won't surface until the first chunk is processed

Nathan Rajlich 262ef3a21a Fix CLI missing specVersion in "run_cancelled" event payload (#1078)
The CLI's `cancelRun` in `packages/cli/src/lib/inspect/run.ts` sent `{ eventType: 'run_cancelled' }` without `specVersion`, causing the Vercel API's `/v2/runs/{id}/events` endpoint to reject the request with a 400 error. The core runtime's `cancelRun` already handled this correctly, so the fix removes the redundant CLI wrapper and calls the core implementation directly.

The bug was introduced in 4966b72 ("implement event-sourced architecture (#621)") which changed the CLI cancel from `world.runs.cancel(runId)` to `world.events.create(runId, ...)` but omitted `specVersion` from the payload. The same commit correctly included it in `Run#cancel()` in core — it was simply missed in the CLI path. A later commit (86a7930) added v1Compat branching but still never added specVersion. The final merged state in a2b688d (PR #894) still omits it.

Also adds a CLI cancel e2e test that starts a long-running workflow, cancels it via the CLI command, and verifies the run status.

* Use `@vercel/cli-auth` for auth token reading and OAuth refresh

Replace the manual auth.json reading logic in the CLI with the `@vercel/cli-auth` package, which handles credential storage via CredentialsStore and OAuth token refresh via the OAuth client.

Previously, the CLI would read the token from disk but had no refresh logic — if the token was expired, API calls would fail.
Now, getAuthToken() checks token expiry and automatically refreshes it using the stored refresh token before returning it.

Nathan Rajlich c56dc3848e Extract browser-safe serialization format and move hydration client-side (#1015)
## Summary

Split the serialization/deserialization logic into environment-specific layers so data hydration can happen client-side in the browser. This is a prerequisite for e2e encryption where decryption keys are only available in the browser.

## Architecture

### Layer 1: `@workflow/core/serialization-format` (new, browser-safe)
- Format prefix encoding/decoding (`devl`, future `encr`, etc.)
- Generic `hydrateData()` dispatch — handles Uint8Array (v2 binary), legacy arrays (v1), and plain values
- `hydrateResourceIO(resource, revivers)` resource-type dispatcher (step/hook/event/workflow field mapping)
- `ClassInstanceRef` (plain data class, no `node:util` dependency)
- `StreamRef`, type guards (`isStreamRef`, `isStreamId`, `isClassInstanceRef`), utility functions (`extractStreamIds`, `truncateId`)
- Shared `observabilityRevivers` for stream/class/step display overrides
- 36 unit tests covering all of the above

### Layer 2: Environment-specific revivers
- **`@workflow/web-shared`** (`lib/hydration.ts`) — browser-safe revivers using `atob()` for base64, real `URLSearchParams`/`Headers`/`URL` instances, `ClassInstanceRef` for UI rendering
- **`@workflow/cli`** (`lib/inspect/hydration.ts`) — Node.js revivers using `Buffer.from()` for base64, `CLIClassInstanceRef` with `util.inspect.custom` for CLI output

Each module exports a pre-bound `hydrateResourceIO(resource)` that uses its environment's revivers.

### Removed: `@workflow/core/observability`
- Deleted `observability.ts` and `observability.test.ts` entirely (no remaining consumers)
- Removed `"./observability"` export from `@workflow/core/package.json`
- Removed the `workflow` package's `internal/observability.ts` re-export
- All functionality has been split between `serialization-format.ts` (shared types/utilities) and the environment-specific hydration modules

## Web package changes
- Server passes raw world data through without hydration (CBOR preserves `Uint8Array`)
- Client calls `hydrateResourceIO` from `@workflow/web-shared` after receiving CBOR-decoded data
- No Vite `node:*` stubs needed since `@workflow/core/serialization-format` is browser-safe
- Optimized: event hydration finds the matching event before hydrating (instead of hydrating all)
- Reduced server log noise from handled API errors (4xx errors no longer logged)

## Packages affected
- `@workflow/core` — new `serialization-format` export (with tests), removed `observability` export
- `@workflow/web-shared` — new `lib/hydration.ts` with browser-safe revivers
- `@workflow/cli` — new `lib/inspect/hydration.ts` with Node.js revivers, updated `output.ts` import
- `@workflow/web` — client-side hydration, removed server-side hydration
- `workflow` — removed `internal/observability.ts` re-export

Nathan Rajlich 7653e6bfdb Migrate @workflow/web from Next.js to React Router v7 (#1005)
## Summary

- Replace Next.js App Router with React Router v7.13.0 framework mode (Vite-based), eliminating the large `next` dependency from the web, CLI, and workflow metapackages
- Serve the web UI in-process from the CLI via Express instead of spawning `next start` as a child process
- Switch RPC transport from JSON to CBOR to preserve binary data types across the wire
- Replace `nuqs` URL state management with React Router's `useSearchParams`
- Replace Next.js server actions with an RPC resource route (`/api/rpc`) and a thin CBOR-based client

## Motivation

The `next` package is ~300MB installed and was the single largest dependency in the monorepo. It also required spawning a separate child process from the CLI to run the o11y web server, adding complexity around process lifecycle management, port readiness polling, and environment variable forwarding.

With React Router framework mode, the web package builds to a standard Express-compatible server bundle that the CLI can import and serve directly in its own process.

## What changed

**Framework swap (`@workflow/web`):**
- `next.config.ts` / `postcss.config.mjs` → `react-router.config.ts` / `vite.config.ts`
- `src/` directory → `app/` directory (React Router convention)
- `src/app/layout.tsx` + `layout-client.tsx` → `app/root.tsx`
- `src/app/page.tsx` → `app/routes/home.tsx`
- `src/app/run/[runId]/page.tsx` → `app/routes/run-detail.tsx`
- Path alias `@/` → `~/`
- Removed all `'use client'` / `'use server'` directives

**Data transport:**
- Server actions → RPC resource route at `/api/rpc` with CBOR encoding
- CBOR preserves `Uint8Array` and other binary types natively (no base64 overhead)
- Stream reading → dedicated `/api/stream/:streamId` resource route

**URL state:**
- `nuqs` (`useQueryState`) → `useSearchParams` from `react-router`

**Fonts:**
- `next/font/google` → Geist `.woff2` files referenced directly from `node_modules/geist` via `@font-face` in CSS

**CLI integration (`@workflow/cli`):**
- `import('@workflow/web/server').then(m => m.startServer(port))`
- No child process, no readiness polling, no cleanup handlers

**Radix UI compatibility:**
- `onSubmit` preventDefault on `AlertDialogContent` and `SheetContent` to prevent Radix's internal `<form method="dialog">` from triggering React Router route actions
- Catch-all action on root route for any stray POSTs

## Dependencies removed
- `next`, `swr`, `nuqs`, `@tailwindcss/postcss`

## Dependencies added
- `react-router` / `@react-router/dev` / `@react-router/node` / `@react-router/express` (all `7.13.0`)
- `express`, `vite`, `@tailwindcss/vite`, `cbor-x`, `isbot`, `cross-env`
- `geist` (devDep)
