Mechanisms¶
- Workflow Script
- … happy path trap: a workflow script models the flow for when every task proceeds as expected and becomes brittle the moment reality diverges — a task that cannot complete, an owner who is out, a case that does not fit the graph — jamming the whole instance where a human coordinator would have improvised around it.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
