Durable Execution
How do I troubleshoot a stuck durable agent workflow due to a missing human-in-the-loop signal?
A stuck workflow typically means it's waiting for an external event that never arrived. In Catalyst, check the workflow status via Dapr's API or dashboard to see it's in a 'WAITING' state. Verify the event name and payload match what the workflow expects. Ensure the external system is sending the event to the correct Dapr pub/sub or direct invocation endpoint. Set a timeout on the wait to automatically fail the workflow if no signal arrives.
