master f5b5f24d95 Add StellaOps.Workflow engine: 14 libraries, WebService, 8 test projects
Extract product-agnostic workflow engine from Ablera.Serdica.Workflow into
standalone StellaOps.Workflow.* libraries targeting net10.0.

Libraries (14):
- Contracts, Abstractions (compiler, decompiler, expression runtime)
- Engine (execution, signaling, scheduling, projections, hosted services)
- ElkSharp (generic graph layout algorithm)
- Renderer.ElkSharp, Renderer.ElkJs, Renderer.Msagl, Renderer.Svg
- Signaling.Redis, Signaling.OracleAq
- DataStore.MongoDB, DataStore.PostgreSQL, DataStore.Oracle

WebService: ASP.NET Core Minimal API with 22 endpoints

Tests (8 projects, 109 tests pass):
- Engine.Tests (105 pass), WebService.Tests (4 E2E pass)
- Renderer.Tests, DataStore.MongoDB/Oracle/PostgreSQL.Tests
- Signaling.Redis.Tests, IntegrationTests.Shared

Tutorial 2: Service Tasks

Call external services (microservices, HTTP APIs, GraphQL, RabbitMQ) from within a workflow. Handle failures and timeouts gracefully.

Concepts Introduced

  • .Call() — invoke a transport with payload and optional response capture
  • Address types — LegacyRabbit, Microservice, Http, Graphql, Rabbit
  • resultKey — store the service response in workflow state
  • whenFailure / whenTimeout — recovery branches
  • WorkflowHandledBranchAction.Complete — shorthand for "complete on error"
  • timeoutSeconds — per-step timeout override (default: 1 hour)

Key Points

  • Each Call step executes synchronously within the workflow
  • The per-step timeout wraps the entire call including transport-level retries
  • Transport timeouts (30s default) control individual attempt duration
  • If no failure/timeout handler is defined, the error propagates and the signal pump retries
