name: oe-workflow-routing description: Fast routing triage for workflow messages; points to docs/workflow-routing-map.md.

When to use

• Routing bugs, wrong step, detours, out-of-context, or "where did this message go?".
• Requests for a quick routing reference or map.
• Need to point people to the routing doc fast.

Quick start (do this first)

1. Open docs/workflow-routing-map.md and share it.
2. Ask for the minimal routing state (current_step, caller_step, thread_state, key hashes) and any pre-route action.
3. Check pre-route early exits (OOC/duplicate/manager escalation) before step logic.
4. Verify guard forcing (Steps 2-4) and billing/deposit bypasses.
5. Only then inspect step handlers or change-propagation detours.

Fast response snippet

• "Routing map lives at docs/workflow-routing-map.md. Start with state fields, pre-route early exits, guard forcing, then router loop."

Key files to open

• docs/workflow-routing-map.md
• backend/workflow_email.py
• backend/workflows/runtime/pre_route.py
• backend/workflows/runtime/router.py
• backend/workflow/guards.py
• backend/workflows/change_propagation.py

Notes

• OOC can drop messages before routing; confirm unified intent vs current step.
• Site visit intercept can fire at any step.
• Step 6/7 HIL tasks are currently skipped.
