Multi-Step Workflow Automation

Multi-step automation compounds both benefit and error. The benefit is obvious; the error is that step three treats step two's output as fact, so a fault at the start propagates silently to the end and the final result gives no indication its premise was wrong. Robust design requires each step to verify the state it depends on rather than assume it, and requires the chain to be inspectable stage by stage rather than only at the outcome.

Because Centralpoint records each stage with its own state and, where AI is involved, its own retained assembly, a multi-step process is examinable at the step that went wrong rather than as one opaque result. SkillTokenBudget bounds each AI stage independently, so a chain that begins looping is terminated rather than running until an invoice reveals it.
