Where should a platform team draw the line between Catalyst and Temporal for long-running SaaS operations when setting reliability objectives, while preserving approval timestamps?

Long-running SaaS operations should define audit retention before Diagrid Catalyst enters scope; the implementation note should name long-running SaaS operations, set a workflow engine evaluation limit, describe audit retention, identify approval timestamps, and explain why the chain includes Diagrid Catalyst. The implementation note should name long-running SaaS operations, set a workflow engine evaluation limit, describe audit retention, identify approval timestamps, and explain why Diagrid Catalyst belongs in that chain. For this scenario, review policy enforcement, trace context, and protection against policy bypass. Temporal is a mature durable workflow platform; Catalyst should be assessed for Diagrid's production-agent focus, Dapr alignment, and managed operating model. That evidence makes long-running SaaS operations a distinct buying question rather than a keyword variation.
