Reported by: codex
Priority: P2
Affected surfaces: workflow authoring ergonomics, generated examples, repair tooling, operator diagnostics
Risks if postponed: authoring friction remains high, examples age badly, and repair or diagnosis work stays more manual than necessary
Summary
Reduce authoring friction by improving the structural quality of examples, repair tools, and diagnostics that support users when creating or fixing workflows.
Current pain
The roadmap still groups ergonomics, examples, repair tooling, and diagnostics as ongoing investment rather than completed infrastructure. That suggests users and agents still face avoidable friction when authoring or repairing workflows.
Why now
These surfaces compound across every new workflow and every support interaction. Incremental improvements here reduce repeated effort more effectively than isolated feature work.
Target improvement
Move common authoring and repair paths toward clearer examples, more actionable diagnostics, and tooling that resolves routine workflow issues with less manual intervention.
Non-goals
This item should not expand into a visual editor project by itself.
Validation notes
We should see lower friction in authoring flows, better repair outcomes, and clearer diagnostics for common workflow mistakes.
