Some checks failed
Test, Build, and Deploy / test-build-deploy (push) Failing after 55s
flow: operational introspection API — flow/status,result,list,pending + 12 tests
flow/status id -> done|suspended|cancelled|unknown; flow/result id -> value or
error; flow/list -> (id status) per flow; flow/pending -> (id waiting-tag) for
suspended flows (operator view of what each awaits). Pure store introspection.

# flow-on-sx Scoreboard
**All tests pass: 105 / 105 across 6 suites. Phases 1-4 complete; Phase 5 in progress.**
`bash lib/flow/conformance.sh`
## Per-suite breakdown
| Suite | Passing | Covers |
|-------|--------:|--------|
| basic | 18 | Phase 1: single nodes, linear sequence, data-flow threading, defflow, parallel fan/join, nested composition, publish-shaped flow |
| control | 31 | Phase 2: `branch` (6); error model `fail`/`failed?`/`fail-reason` (6); `try-catch` (6); `retry n` (6); `timeout` cooperative step budget (7) |
| suspend | 17 | Phase 3: suspend/resume/cancel via deterministic replay; multi-step, replay determinism, lifecycle guards, suspend-in-branch |
| recovery | 8 | Phase 3: crash recovery — store export/import, resumable scan, restart-at-every-step, replay-log survival |
| distributed | 19 | Phase 4: `remote-node` (7); `remote-failover` (6); replication + handoff across instances (6) |
| api | 12 | Phase 5: introspection — `flow/status`, `flow/result`, `flow/list`, `flow/pending` |
## Architecture
Flow combinators are a **Scheme prelude** (`lib/flow/spec.sx`) loaded onto
`scheme-standard-env`. A flow is a Scheme procedure `input -> output`. The whole
flow executes inside the Scheme interpreter, so Phase 3's `suspend` (call/cc) will
capture the flow continuation directly.
- `lib/flow/spec.sx` — combinators: `flow-node`, `flow-id`, `flow-const`,
`sequence`, `parallel`, `defflow`; `flow-load-combinators!`.
- `lib/flow/api.sx``flow/start` (Scheme); `flow-make-env`, `flow-run`,
`flow-run-in` (SX helpers).
- `lib/flow/tests/basic.sx` — 18 cases.
- `lib/flow/conformance.sh` — loads substrate + flow layer, runs suites.
## Semantics notes
- **node** = 1-arg Scheme procedure; the upstream value is the argument. A node
ignoring its argument is effectively a thunk.
- **sequence** threads left-to-right; empty sequence = identity.
- **parallel** fans the same input to every branch and joins results into a list.
Evaluation is **sequential** for now; true concurrency arrives in Phase 3.
## Phases
- [x] Phase 1 — Declarative DAG + sequential execution (combinators + 18 tests, `flow/start`)
- [x] Phase 2 — Control flow + error handling (branch, error model, try-catch, retry, timeout)
- [x] Phase 3 — Suspend/resume (suspend/resume/cancel + crash recovery via deterministic replay)
- [x] Phase 4 — Distributed nodes via fed-sx (remote-node, failover, replication + handoff)
- [~] Phase 5 — Operational API + combinators (introspection done; tap/recover/map-flow next)
- [ ] Phase 3 — Suspend / resume (the showcase)
- [ ] Phase 4 — Distributed nodes via fed-sx
