Workflow Event Testing

Summary​

The Workflow smoke path checks that outbox records include all six expected integration-event types. It does not verify relay publication, broker delivery, consumer effects, retries, replay, ordering, callbacks or notifications.

  • Unit-test aggregate event sequences and payload facts.
  • Contract-test all six schema-version-1 serialized messages.
  • Integration-test atomic canonical state and outbox persistence.
  • Fault-test publish failure, status-save failure, duplicate delivery and concurrent relays.
  • End-to-end test notification and callback behavior only after those consumers are implemented.

Requires Confirmation​

CI ownership, broker test environment, compatibility fixtures, replay scenarios and acceptance criteria require confirmation.
