Workflow UI & Operations Known Limitations

UI​

  • One page combines authoring and task decisions; no deep links, detail screens, filters, pagination or bulk actions exist.
  • Mutation actions lack verified local error handling, confirmation and in-flight disabling.

Workflow authoring​

  • The form creates exactly one sequential approval step.
  • No edit, delete, archive, conditions, multi-step authoring, visual designer, version history, comparison or rollback is exposed.

Execution​

  • No instance start, list, detail, context, history, cancellation or recovery UI exists.
  • Approval/rejection comments are fixed; delegation uses an unvalidated browser prompt.

Permissions​

  • Sidebar roles are not repeated by the route guard.
  • Workflow endpoints have no authorization policy; tenant and task-query controls are not substitutes for capability authorization.

Reporting​

  • There is no dedicated Workflow report endpoint or page.
  • Shared dashboard historical-looking counts are derived from a pending-only caller feed.

Monitoring​

  • No Workflow metrics, alert rules, trace viewer, log viewer or verified exported telemetry backend is included.
  • Basic health does not prove database, broker or downstream-consumer health.

Operations​

  • No outbox, event replay, failed-publication, instance repair or manual task-reassignment UI exists.
  • Operational surfaces are shared across modules and provide limited Workflow context.

Diagnostics​

  • The activity page suppresses unavailable module feeds and does not show Workflow outbox records.
  • No approved automated remediation or operator runbook is implemented in the portal.

Requires Confirmation​

Prioritization, compensating controls, production ingress authorization, reporting semantics and operational recovery ownership require confirmation.
