feat(workflow): surface instance/step metrics via CLI and MCP - #517
Conversation
The workflow_metrics query layer (PR #509) had no caller outside flare-workflow's own tests -- no CLI command, MCP action, or dashboard route ever called engine.metrics(). Debugging a failing pipeline meant hand-querying workflows.db directly. Add `agentflare workflow metrics` and the MCP `workflow` tool's `metrics` action, both wired to the existing engine.metrics()/ StateStore::workflow_metrics() layer, with --workflow-id/--status/ --since filters. Metrics alone only gives counts, not the actual error text, so also add a recent_failures list: the most recent failed runs with their failing step and its real last_error message. This queries workflow_runs/step_state directly by raw SQL rather than through StateStore::list_all::<D>() -- the store is shared by several WorkflowData types (PipelineData, WorkItemData, ...), and deserializing through a fixed D silently skips every run of a different type, same class of bug as the list_active/list_all fix. workflow_metrics's own SQL aggregation already takes this same type-agnostic approach for the same reason.

Classify store failures as internal errors, not invalid parameters.
workflow_metrics_async returns two classes of error. Filter validation produces caller errors, such as an unknown status spelling or a malformed RFC 3339 since. The store path produces server errors, such as "open workflows db", "prepare recent failures query", and "recent failures row".
This branch maps both classes to ErrorData::invalid_params. The list branch at Line 86 maps store failures to ErrorData::internal_error. A client that sees invalid_params for a database I/O failure will not retry, and will report a false input error.
Return typed errors from workflow_metrics_async so the caller can distinguish the two classes. If that is out of scope for this PR, split the validation into the handler and keep internal_error for the store call.

agentflare workflow status / mcp__flare__workflow(action="status") went through engine.get_status -> StateStore::load::<PipelineData>, which hard-fails for a run of any other WorkflowData type (e.g. the internal SDD work-item pipeline's WorkItemData) with "storage error: deserialize state: invalid type: map, expected unit struct PipelineData". Reproduced live against a real agentflare-work-item run while narrowing metrics down to a single job. Every field this view reports (run_id, workflow_id, status, current_step, step_states, input, output, error, variables) lives outside context.data, so read the raw state_json generically via serde_json::Value instead of through the typed store -- same reasoning as recent_failures_async's raw-SQL query in the prior commit.

- recent_failures_async's LIMIT bounded the joined run x failed-step rows, not distinct runs -- a run with several failed steps (fan-out) could crowd out more recent failed runs. Bound the run-level query first, then join to failed step states. - Its since filter checked updated_at; MetricsFilter's since means created_at (sqlite_store::metrics_where). Match that semantics. - Both raw-SQL helpers opened a bare Connection with no busy_timeout, unlike agentflare-db-kit::open_file, and ran synchronously on the calling async runtime. Add the same 5-second busy_timeout and move the blocking work into spawn_blocking. - Extend workflow_metrics's test with workflow_id/since filter cases (matching and non-matching) and invalid-input cases, exercising recent_failures_async's parameter binding order.

What
WorkflowEngine::metrics()/StateStore::workflow_metrics()(PR #509) computed real aggregate instance/step metrics — counts by status, average duration, token totals, per-step breakdown — but had no caller outsideflare-workflow's own tests. No CLI command, no MCP action, no dashboard route ever called it. Debugging a failing pipeline meant hand-querying~/.agentflare/workflows.dbdirectly (which is exactly how several bugs earlier today, #514/#516, got found).What's added
agentflare workflow metrics [--workflow-id X] [--status Y] [--since RFC3339](CLI)mcp__flare__workflow(action="metrics", workflow_id?, status?, since?)(MCP)Both call the same
crate::workflow::workflow_metrics/_asyncfunction, which wraps the existing engine layer — no new engine code, just wiring.recent_failuresCounts alone don't say why something failed.
metricsalso returns arecent_failureslist: the most recent failed runs (capped at 5, respecting the same filters) with their failing step and that step's actuallast_errortext.This deliberately does not go through
StateStore::list_all::<D>()— the store is shared by multipleWorkflowDatatypes (PipelineData,WorkItemData, ...), and deserializing through a fixedDsilently skips every run of a different type (same class of bug fixed inlist_active/list_all, PR #514). Instead it queriesworkflow_runs/step_statedirectly by raw SQL, type-agnostic — mirroring whatworkflow_metrics's own SQL aggregation already does for the same reason. Verified against the real productionworkflows.db(mixedPipelineData/WorkItemDataruns) before adding a regression test for it.Tests
