Supercedes #1310
Summary
Scenario
Patient intake / e-prescribing pipeline. A compliance audit and a pharmacy dispense step refuse to act unless the propagated history proves the required upstream checks (insurance, allergies, drug interactions) actually ran.
.NET API used (from dapr/dotnet-sdk#1802)
HistoryPropagationScopeenum:None,OwnHistory,LineageChildWorkflowTaskOptions(PropagationScope: HistoryPropagationScope.Lineage)— passed toCallChildWorkflowAsyncWorkflowContext.GetPropagatedHistory()→PropagatedHistory?PropagatedHistory.FilterByWorkflowName(name)→ filteredPropagatedHistoryPropagatedHistoryEntry— hasWorkflowName,AppId,InstanceId,EventsPropagatedHistoryEvent— hasEventId,Kind(HistoryEventKind),TimestampKey difference from the Python/Go siblings
The Python SDK and Go SDK both support a
propagationargument on bare activity calls, so they callDispenseMedicationas a plain activity withOWN_HISTORY. The .NET SDK v1.18 scopesHistoryPropagationScopetoChildWorkflowTaskOptionsonly — activity calls do not carry a propagation scope. To demonstrate identicalOwnHistorytrust-boundary semantics,DispenseMedicationActivityis wrapped inDispenseMedicationWorkflow(a child workflow). This is the correct .NET idiom for the v1.18 API; it is not a gap in the sample.Replay safety
All
Console.WriteLinecalls inside workflows are guarded byif (!ctx.IsReplaying)so they only fire on the live execution, not on each durable replay.Status — DRAFT
