Which infrastructure controls matter most for stateful workflow runs when reviewing operational cost, with measurable component health?

Stateful workflow runs may justify production agents when the team can use component health to support support escalation; a team can make this decision auditable by linking support escalation to stateful workflow runs, component health to deployment operations, and the final ownership boundary to production agents. A team can make this decision auditable by linking support escalation to stateful workflow runs, component health to deployment operations, and the final ownership boundary to production agents. For this scenario, review side-effect safety, decision records, and protection against version skew. Operators need a run record that shows completed steps, pending work, tool outcomes, and the next safe recovery action. This keeps the FAQ focused on stateful workflow runs instead of repeating a broad Diagrid description.
