pdombkins puts a senior partner in the workflow loop

This fork makes automated legal workflows easier to inspect before they act, and easier to account for once they finish.

workflowcompliance

pdombkins has added a visible process map where users choose a workflow, then placed a human checkpoint between the proposed plan and execution. The design treats oversight as part of the work, not an afterthought.

Process map: shows the stages of a workflow before someone selects it.
Copy and edit: lets a team start from an existing workflow rather than rebuild it.
Pre-flight review: presents the proposed plan before execution.
Senior-partner review: gives a designated human the chance to approve that plan.
Completion report: records what happened after the workflow finishes.

So what Firms and legal teams testing AI-assisted workflows should care because this creates a clearer approval trail without hiding the process behind a run button.

`2021ca0d`	Workflow transparency: process map, duplicate & edit, pre-flight gate, senior-partner review, completion report	Peter Dombkins	2026-07-26	↗ GitHub
commit body Workflows are now a declared, inspectable process rather than an opaque prompt. - Blueprint (lib/workflows/blueprint.ts): one LLM call derives a typed spec from prompt_md/columns - per step name, objective, role, depends_on, inputs, outputs, testable quality_criteria and silent-failure exposure. Cached in workflow_blueprints, keyed by a hash of the source so it invalidates on edit. Tool allowlists stay server-derived from the role. - Overview page: WorkflowDetailPage is tabbed, opening on a DAG process map plus per-step cards and a workflow-wide silent-failure assessment. - Duplicate & edit with AI: POST /workflows/:id/duplicate (works on read-only builtins) + /edit-chat. Returns a complete revision and a change list; nothing saves until the user applies it. - Pre-flight gate (lib/workflows/preflight.ts): samples the documents actually attached and re-scores each step. High risk parks the run at status 'paused' with nothing executed - continue anyway, or stop and edit. Fails open but loud if the check itself errors. - Senior-partner review (lib/agents/partnerReview.ts): adjudicates each step against its criteria with reasons and an inference level, sending failures back for rework up to max_rework. The reviewer never rewrites the work, cannot_assess is a defect not a pass, and a failed reviewer marks the step degraded rather than silently passing it. - Live run view: steps expanded by default, thinking trace inline, process map with the current step and a distinct reworking state. - Completion report (lib/agents/report.ts, GET /agents/:id/report): built from persisted data only, so it cannot itself hallucinate. Fixes: /workflows/:id/compile selected a non-existent skill_md column (prompt_md is the column), so plan templates compiled from an empty string. Migration: 20260726_01_workflow_blueprints.sql (already applied to prod).
`f2bf415c`	Show the process map where workflows are actually selected	Peter Dombkins	2026-07-26	↗ GitHub
commit body The blueprint overview was only on the workflow detail page (/workflows/{type}/{id}), but clicking a workflow in the list calls setSelected(wf), which opens UseWorkflowModal - whose preview pane showed the raw prompt markdown or a bare column list. That preview is what you see on selecting a workflow, so the process map never appeared in the normal flow. - WorkflowBlueprintPreview: compact blueprint view for the picker's preview column - summary, process map, silent-failure hotspots and a step accordion with objective, inputs, outputs, success criteria and failure modes. - WorkflowPickerContent: preview pane is now tabbed, Process first, with the raw Instructions/Columns one click away. Keyed on workflow id so switching selections remounts cleanly. - WorkflowProcessMap: `compact` prop (narrower cards, tighter gaps) so the map fits the modal's preview column without horizontal scrolling.
