Workflows Explorer¶
The Workflows Explorer renders end-to-end execution pipelines and decision flows on a full-width background canvas.
What Makes Workflows Different?¶
While the Architecture Map shows static structural connections, the Workflows Explorer shows runtime execution order: - Which function is invoked first? - Where are the decision forks and validation checks? - Which methods are called at each step? - What database operations occur at the conclusion?
Anatomy of a Workflow View¶
1. Sequential Execution Axis¶
- Steps are arranged chronologically along the horizontal axis.
- Blue connecting pipes guide the eye through the primary happy path.
2. Decision Branches (Diamonds)¶
- Diamond shapes indicate conditional branches (
if/else, validations, feature flags). - Hovering over a diamond reveals the branch condition and possible outcomes.
3. Participating Method Clusters¶
- Beneath each execution step, vertical sub-node columns display all participating methods, helper functions, and ORM operations executed during that step.
4. Floating HUD & Interactive Controls¶
- Floating Left Sidebar: Search workflows, filter by domain, or select a curated architectural pipeline.
- Workflow Header Card: Shows title, layer badges, logical step count, and entry point signature.
- Canvas Zoom / Pan: Smooth multi-touch trackpad and mouse wheel navigation with centering controls.
