Module trigger 

Pluggable trigger sources for starting workflow runs.

A Trigger listens for external or internal signals and emits TriggerEvents through a TriggerSink. The runtime starts all registered triggers alongside the HTTP server and cron scheduler, and forwards their events to the configured handler.

Built-in triggers:

• EventTrigger – reacts to internal domain events (workflow chaining).
• NatsTrigger – consumes messages from a NATS JetStream subject (behind the trigger-nats feature flag).

Examples

use ironflow_runtime::trigger::{Trigger, TriggerSink, TriggerEvent};
use ironflow_runtime::trigger::event::{EventTrigger, EventTriggerRule};
use ironflow_store::entities::EventKind;

let trigger = EventTrigger::new(vec![
    EventTriggerRule {
        on_event: EventKind::RunFailed,
        source_workflow: "deploy".to_string(),
        target_workflow: "rollback".to_string(),
        max_chain_depth: 3,
        conditions: vec![],
    },
]);
