… resume Add WorkflowContext.step (StepExecutionMeta): attempt, max_attempts, timeout, step/workflow id+name, populated by the engine before every executor call — mirrors Cloudflare Workflows' WorkflowStepContext, which flare-workflow previously computed internally but never exposed to step code. Close item #115: execute_loop now journals a JournalEntry::LoopIteration after each successful iteration and resumes from the last recorded iteration on recover(), instead of restarting the iteration counter at 1 after a mid-loop crash. Extracted execute_loop into its own loops.rs module (mirrors waits.rs/rollback.rs) to keep engine.rs under the LOC gate.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe workflow engine now runs loop steps through a dedicated module. It journals successful iterations, resumes from the latest journaled iteration after recovery, and records runtime step metadata in the workflow context. ChangesDurable loop execution
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR adds durable loop resumption and a new journal entry type, but the current implementation can run extra iterations after a crash even when the loop had already terminated, and older binaries may be unable to recover runs containing the new journal records. These correctness and recovery-compatibility risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Correct the module reference: execute_loop now lives in loops.rs.
This PR moves execute_loop out of engine.rs into the new crates/flare-workflow/src/loops.rs module. The status banner points readers at engine.rs, so the reference is stale as written.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Resume discards the journaled output, so a loop that already met until runs extra iterations.
The resume scan extracts only iteration and drops output. The termination check at Line 120 tests only the output of an iteration that ran in the current process.
Consider this sequence:
- Iteration 4 produces output that contains
until. append_journalrecordsLoopIteration { iteration: 4, output }.- The process crashes before the terminal
StepRunis appended. recover()re-entersexecute_loop.resume_fromis 4, so the loop starts at iteration 5.- Iteration 5 runs even though the loop had already satisfied its exit condition.
The loop then keeps running until max_iterations or until another output matches. Each extra iteration invokes the step executor again, which for an agent-prompt step is an extra model call. The recovered path therefore produces different behavior and different output than the crash-free path.
The recorded output already carries the bytes needed to detect this. Evaluate until against the last journaled output before the loop starts.
🐛 Proposed fix: check `until` against the last journaled iteration
let step_timeout = definition.get_timeout(step);
let until_lower = until.to_lowercase();
let mut last_context: Option<WorkflowContext<D>> = None;
let journal = self.state_store.journal(run_id).await?;

Handle unknown JournalEntry variants in journal::read.
Older binaries deserialize every payload and fail on LoopIteration, which blocks recovery for the entire run. Skip or log unknown variants during journal reads to support mixed-version deployments.

* fix(launch): cursor-agent headless dispatch hang on Windows run_captured no longer unconditionally applies CREATE_NO_WINDOW on Windows. That flag breaks cursor-agent's .cmd -> powershell.exe -> node.exe shim chain (0 output, idle timeout, never replies). run_headless now routes script shims through powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -WindowStyle Hidden which provides the real console cursor-agent needs while keeping the window hidden. Native .exe agents still get CREATE_NO_WINDOW. - run_captured: removes unconditional CREATE_NO_WINDOW (Windows) - run_headless: adds script_shim_launcher + launch_command to route .ps1 (and .cmd/.bat with sibling .ps1) through powershell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden -File; native .exe still get CREATE_NO_WINDOW Verified: run_headless(cursor, --force, ok) returns Ok(ok\n) in ~27s with no terminal flash.

…wnstream (#546) real_agent_send_hook fed every role's raw --output-format stream-json transcript (one JSON object per line: system init, tool_use, ..., final result) straight into role_reply, since #498 deleted the old coder step's transcript parsing without giving sdd_loop's shared hook an equivalent. For the judge specifically, parse_judge_decision then parsed the transcript's first line -- a valid-but-action-less system/init event -- instead of the judge's actual decision on the last line, hard-failing every judge turn with "missing field `action`" (items #478/#502/#503). Restore transcript parsing (parse_claude_reply, agent_launch.rs) and apply it to every Claude Code role's reply via clean_agent_reply, not just the judge's, since role_reply also gets embedded verbatim into build_judge_prompt.

* feat(work): add review-only mode to sdd_loop pipeline (#507) Threads a review_only flag through WorkItemData, detected from item metadata (task_type=review) or 'review only' framing in the description at dispatch time. When set, sdd_loop dispatches review-analyst/ review-of-analysis prompts instead of implementer/task-reviewer prompts, the judge is told not to expect code, and finalize posts the accumulated findings as a comment and releases the claim instead of running item_done/PR flow. Fixes the gap surfaced by #502, where a handoff explicitly framed as review-only got silently converted into a full implementation attempt. Splits work_item_pipeline.rs's test modules into src/work_item_pipeline/ sibling files (edition-2024 module layout) to stay under the repo's frozen LOC gate (2100 lines) after this change pushed it over.

Added review_findings (accumulated as the loop runs, read by finalize when non-empty) so the actual deliverable of a review task can't silently disappear. Two regression tests added, both reproducing the exact failure modes CodeRabbit described.
