What was changed
Enhanced existing CLI commands with AI-friendly debugging features:
Enhanced
temporal workflow list:--failed- Lists failed workflows with automatic root cause analysis--since- Time window filter (e.g.,1h,24h)--follow-children- Traverses child workflows to find leaf failures--follow-namespaces- Cross-namespace traversal support--group-by- Aggregate failures by type, namespace, status, or error--leaf-only- De-duplicates parent/child failure chains--compact-errors- Strips verbose wrapper context from errors--error-contains- Filter by error message substringEnhanced
temporal workflow describe:--trace-root-cause- Traces through child chain to find deepest failure--pending- Shows pending activities, children, and Nexus operations--follow-namespaces- Cross-namespace traversal for root cause tracingEnhanced
temporal workflow show:--compact- Shows condensed event timelineNew global output format:
--output mermaid- Generates visual diagrams (sequence, flowchart, pie chart)New command:
temporal tool-spec- Outputs tool definitions for AI frameworks (OpenAI, Claude, LangChain)Why?
When debugging distributed Temporal applications, finding the root cause of failures often requires manually traversing chains of child workflows and Nexus operations across namespaces. This is tedious for humans and nearly impossible for AI agents without structured output.
These enhancements provide:
