17/// Defines a durable application Flow and its registered API surface.

19/// A Flow owns a typed start input, Step list, persistence schema, and RPC list. Implementations are
20/// registered as owned values in [`crate::Registry`] and shared safely across Worker invocations.
21/// Keep [`Self::flow_type`] and all subordinate names stable while any execution is running.

24///
25/// ```
26/// use dex_sdk::{Flow, StepList};
27///
