Directives

Two fundamental directives define execution context:

"use workflow" - Marks orchestration functions that coordinate steps:

export async function processOrder(orderId: string) {
  'use workflow';
  
  const order = await fetchOrder(orderId);  // Step
  await sleep('1h');                         // Suspend
  return await chargePayment(order);        // Step
}
