context.rs

//! [`WorkflowContext`] — execution context for dynamic workflows.
//!
//! Provides step execution methods that automatically persist results to the
//! store. Each call to [`shell`](WorkflowContext::shell),
//! [`http`](WorkflowContext::http), [`agent`](WorkflowContext::agent), or
//! [`workflow`](WorkflowContext::workflow) creates a step record, executes the
//! operation, captures the output, and returns a [`StepOutput`] that the next
//! step can reference.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use ironflow_engine::context::WorkflowContext;
//! use ironflow_engine::config::{ShellConfig, AgentStepConfig};
//! use ironflow_engine::error::EngineError;
//!
//! # async fn example(ctx: &mut WorkflowContext) -> Result<(), EngineError> {
//! let build = ctx.shell("build", ShellConfig::new("cargo build")).await?;
//! let review = ctx.agent("review", AgentStepConfig::new(
//!     &format!("Build output:\n{}", build.output["stdout"])
//! )).await?;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
