This PR ensures that all classes with custom serialization are automatically included in all bundle contexts (step, workflow, client) to ensure proper serialization/deserialization when crossing execution boundaries:

  • Classes defined in any context can now be properly serialized when passing data between:

    • Client → Workflow (when starting workflows)
    • Workflow → Step (when calling steps)
    • Step → Workflow (when returning step results)
    • Workflow → Client (when returning workflow results)
  • The build system now automatically discovers all files containing serializable classes and includes them in each bundle, regardless of where the class is originally defined.

  • No manual configuration is required - cross-registration happens automatically during the build process.

Pull request overview

This PR adds automatic cross-context class registration for serializable classes, enabling seamless serialization/deserialization across client, workflow, and step execution boundaries. The build system now automatically discovers files containing custom serialization patterns and includes them in all bundle contexts without manual configuration.

Changes:

  • Added discovery and tracking of serializable files in the esbuild plugin
  • Modified base-builder.ts to include serde files in step, workflow, and client bundles for cross-context registration
  • Added comprehensive test workflow and model classes (Vector) demonstrating cross-context serialization
  • Updated documentation to explain the cross-context class registration feature

The createImport helper function is duplicated three times in this file (here at lines 320-335, at lines 503-518 for workflow bundle, and at lines 746-756 for client bundle). Consider extracting this into a private class method to improve maintainability and ensure consistency across all three bundle contexts. This would make the code DRY and easier to maintain if the path normalization logic needs to be updated in the future.

The entry content generation here always includes the "Serde files for cross-context class registration" comment even when serdeImports is empty (when serdeOnlyFiles is empty). For consistency with the workflow bundle implementation (lines 528-530), consider using a conditional approach to only include the comment when there are actual serde imports.

All classes that are Workflow serializable need to be registered and available in all context modes (client, workflow, step).

This PR ensures that all classes with custom serialization are automatically included in all bundle contexts (step, workflow, client) to ensure proper serialization/deserialization when crossing execution boundaries:

  • Classes defined in any context can now be properly serialized when passing data between:

    • Client → Workflow (when starting workflows)
    • Workflow → Step (when calling steps)
    • Step → Workflow (when returning step results)
    • Workflow → Client (when returning workflow results)
  • The build system now automatically discovers all files containing serializable classes and includes them in each bundle, regardless of where the class is originally defined.

  • No manual configuration is required - cross-registration happens automatically during the build process.

Pull request overview

This PR adds automatic cross-context class registration for serializable classes, enabling seamless serialization/deserialization across client, workflow, and step execution boundaries. The build system now automatically discovers files containing custom serialization patterns and includes them in all bundle contexts without manual configuration.

Changes:

  • Added discovery and tracking of serializable files in the esbuild plugin
  • Modified base-builder.ts to include serde files in step, workflow, and client bundles for cross-context registration
  • Added comprehensive test workflow and model classes (Vector) demonstrating cross-context serialization
  • Updated documentation to explain the cross-context class registration feature

The createImport helper function is duplicated three times in this file (here at lines 320-335, at lines 503-518 for workflow bundle, and at lines 746-756 for client bundle). Consider extracting this into a private class method to improve maintainability and ensure consistency across all three bundle contexts. This would make the code DRY and easier to maintain if the path normalization logic needs to be updated in the future.

The entry content generation here always includes the "Serde files for cross-context class registration" comment even when serdeImports is empty (when serdeOnlyFiles is empty). For consistency with the workflow bundle implementation (lines 528-530), consider using a conditional approach to only include the comment when there are actual serde imports.

All classes that are Workflow serializable need to be registered and available in all context modes (client, workflow, step).

This PR ensures that all classes with custom serialization are automatically included in all bundle contexts (step, workflow, client) to ensure proper serialization/deserialization when crossing execution boundaries:

  • Classes defined in any context can now be properly serialized when passing data between:

    • Client → Workflow (when starting workflows)
    • Workflow → Step (when calling steps)
    • Step → Workflow (when returning step results)
    • Workflow → Client (when returning workflow results)
  • The build system now automatically discovers all files containing serializable classes and includes them in each bundle, regardless of where the class is originally defined.

  • No manual configuration is required - cross-registration happens automatically during the build process.

Pull request overview

This PR adds automatic cross-context class registration for serializable classes, enabling seamless serialization/deserialization across client, workflow, and step execution boundaries. The build system now automatically discovers files containing custom serialization patterns and includes them in all bundle contexts without manual configuration.

Changes:

  • Added discovery and tracking of serializable files in the esbuild plugin
  • Modified base-builder.ts to include serde files in step, workflow, and client bundles for cross-context registration
  • Added comprehensive test workflow and model classes (Vector) demonstrating cross-context serialization
  • Updated documentation to explain the cross-context class registration feature

This file appears to contain only a path string rather than valid TypeScript code. Based on the codebase convention (e.g., helpers.ts is duplicated across workbench directories), this should either be a proper TypeScript re-export statement like export * from '../../example/workflows/serde-models.js'; or a full copy of the serde-models.ts file from the example directory. A file containing just a path string will cause build/import errors.

The createImport helper function is duplicated three times in this file (here at lines 320-335, at lines 503-518 for workflow bundle, and at lines 746-756 for client bundle). Consider extracting this into a private class method to improve maintainability and ensure consistency across all three bundle contexts. This would make the code DRY and easier to maintain if the path normalization logic needs to be updated in the future.

This file appears to contain only a path string rather than valid TypeScript code. Based on the codebase convention (e.g., helpers.ts is duplicated across workbench directories), this should either be a proper TypeScript re-export statement like export * from '../../example/workflows/serde-steps.js'; or a full copy of the serde-steps.ts file from the example directory. A file containing just a path string will cause build/import errors.

The entry content generation here always includes the "Serde files for cross-context class registration" comment even when serdeImports is empty (when serdeOnlyFiles is empty). For consistency with the workflow bundle implementation (lines 528-530), consider using a conditional approach to only include the comment when there are actual serde imports.

All classes that are Workflow serializable need to be registered and available in all context modes (client, workflow, step).

This PR ensures that all classes with custom serialization are automatically included in all bundle contexts (step, workflow, client) to ensure proper serialization/deserialization when crossing execution boundaries:

  • Classes defined in any context can now be properly serialized when passing data between:

    • Client → Workflow (when starting workflows)
    • Workflow → Step (when calling steps)
    • Step → Workflow (when returning step results)
    • Workflow → Client (when returning workflow results)
  • The build system now automatically discovers all files containing serializable classes and includes them in each bundle, regardless of where the class is originally defined.

  • No manual configuration is required - cross-registration happens automatically during the build process.

Pull request overview

This PR adds automatic cross-context class registration for serializable classes, enabling seamless serialization/deserialization across client, workflow, and step execution boundaries. The build system now automatically discovers files containing custom serialization patterns and includes them in all bundle contexts without manual configuration.

Changes:

  • Added discovery and tracking of serializable files in the esbuild plugin
  • Modified base-builder.ts to include serde files in step, workflow, and client bundles for cross-context registration
  • Added comprehensive test workflow and model classes (Vector) demonstrating cross-context serialization
  • Updated documentation to explain the cross-context class registration feature

This file appears to contain only a path string rather than valid TypeScript code. Based on the codebase convention (e.g., helpers.ts is duplicated across workbench directories), this should either be a proper TypeScript re-export statement like export * from '../../example/workflows/serde-models.js'; or a full copy of the serde-models.ts file from the example directory. A file containing just a path string will cause build/import errors.

The createImport helper function is duplicated three times in this file (here at lines 320-335, at lines 503-518 for workflow bundle, and at lines 746-756 for client bundle). Consider extracting this into a private class method to improve maintainability and ensure consistency across all three bundle contexts. This would make the code DRY and easier to maintain if the path normalization logic needs to be updated in the future.

The entry content generation here always includes the "Serde files for cross-context class registration" comment even when serdeImports is empty (when serdeOnlyFiles is empty). For consistency with the workflow bundle implementation (lines 528-530), consider using a conditional approach to only include the comment when there are actual serde imports.

All classes that are Workflow serializable need to be registered and available in all context modes (client, workflow, step).

This PR ensures that all classes with custom serialization are automatically included in all bundle contexts (step, workflow, client) to ensure proper serialization/deserialization when crossing execution boundaries:

  • Classes defined in any context can now be properly serialized when passing data between:

    • Client → Workflow (when starting workflows)
    • Workflow → Step (when calling steps)
    • Step → Workflow (when returning step results)
    • Workflow → Client (when returning workflow results)
  • The build system now automatically discovers all files containing serializable classes and includes them in each bundle, regardless of where the class is originally defined.

  • No manual configuration is required - cross-registration happens automatically during the build process.

Pull request overview

This PR adds automatic cross-context class registration for serializable classes, enabling seamless serialization/deserialization across client, workflow, and step execution boundaries. The build system now automatically discovers files containing custom serialization patterns and includes them in all bundle contexts without manual configuration.

Changes:

  • Added discovery and tracking of serializable files in the esbuild plugin
  • Modified base-builder.ts to include serde files in step, workflow, and client bundles for cross-context registration
  • Added comprehensive test workflow and model classes (Vector) demonstrating cross-context serialization
  • Updated documentation to explain the cross-context class registration feature

This file appears to contain only a path string rather than valid TypeScript code. Based on the codebase convention (e.g., helpers.ts is duplicated across workbench directories), this should either be a proper TypeScript re-export statement like export * from '../../example/workflows/serde-models.js'; or a full copy of the serde-models.ts file from the example directory.

The createImport helper function is duplicated three times in this file (here at lines 320-335, at lines 503-518 for workflow bundle, and at lines 746-756 for client bundle). Consider extracting this into a private class method to improve maintainability and ensure consistency across all three bundle contexts. This would make the code DRY and easier to maintain if the path normalization logic needs to be updated in the future.

The entry content generation here always includes the "Serde files for cross-context class registration" comment even when serdeImports is empty (when serdeOnlyFiles is empty). For consistency with the workflow bundle implementation (lines 528-530), consider using a conditional approach to only include the comment when there are actual serde imports.

This PR ensures that all classes with custom serialization are automatically included in all bundle contexts (step, workflow, client) to ensure proper serialization/deserialization when crossing execution boundaries:

  • Classes defined in any context can now be properly serialized when passing data between:

    • Client → Workflow (when starting workflows)
    • Workflow → Step (when calling steps)
    • Step → Workflow (when returning step results)
    • Workflow → Client (when returning workflow results)
  • The build system now automatically discovers all files containing serializable classes and includes them in each bundle, regardless of where the class is originally defined.

  • No manual configuration is required - cross-registration happens automatically during the build process.

Additional Suggestion:

Step bundle does not include discoveredSerdeFiles, breaking cross-context class deserialization for Workflow → Step boundaries

Pull request overview

This PR adds automatic cross-context class registration for serializable classes, enabling seamless serialization/deserialization across client, workflow, and step execution boundaries. The build system now automatically discovers files containing custom serialization patterns and includes them in all bundle contexts without manual configuration.

Changes:

  • Added discovery and tracking of serializable files in the esbuild plugin
  • Modified base-builder.ts to include serde files in step, workflow, and client bundles for cross-context registration
  • Added comprehensive test workflow and model classes (Vector) demonstrating cross-context serialization
  • Updated documentation to explain the cross-context class registration feature

This file appears to contain only a path string rather than valid TypeScript code.

The createImport helper function is duplicated three times in this file (here at lines 320-335, at lines 503-518 for workflow bundle, and at lines 746-756 for client bundle). Consider extracting this into a private class method to improve maintainability and ensure consistency across all three bundle contexts. This would make the code DRY and easier to maintain if the path normalization logic needs to be updated in the future.

The entry content generation here always includes the "Serde files for cross-context class registration" comment even when serdeImports is empty (when serdeOnlyFiles is empty). For consistency with the workflow bundle implementation (lines 528-530), consider using a conditional approach to only include the comment when there are actual serde imports.

This PR ensures that all classes with custom serialization are automatically included in all bundle contexts (step, workflow, client) to ensure proper serialization/deserialization when crossing execution boundaries:

  • Classes defined in any context can now be properly serialized when passing data between:

    • Client → Workflow (when starting workflows)
    • Workflow → Step (when calling steps)
    • Step → Workflow (when returning step results)
    • Workflow → Client (when returning workflow results)
  • The build system now automatically discovers all files containing serializable classes and includes them in each bundle, regardless of where the class is originally defined.

  • No manual configuration is required - cross-registration happens automatically during the build process.

Pull request overview

This PR adds automatic cross-context class registration for serializable classes, enabling seamless serialization/deserialization across client, workflow, and step execution boundaries. The build system now automatically discovers files containing custom serialization patterns and includes them in all bundle contexts without manual configuration.

Changes:

  • Added discovery and tracking of serializable files in the esbuild plugin
  • Modified base-builder.ts to include serde files in step, workflow, and client bundles for cross-context registration
  • Added comprehensive test workflow and model classes (Vector) demonstrating cross-context serialization
  • Updated documentation to explain the cross-context class registration feature

The createImport helper function is duplicated three times in this file (here at lines 320-335, at lines 503-518 for workflow bundle, and at lines 746-756 for client bundle). Consider extracting this into a private class method to improve maintainability and ensure consistency across all three bundle contexts. This would make the code DRY and easier to maintain if the path normalization logic needs to be updated in the future.

The entry content generation here always includes the "Serde files for cross-context class registration" comment even when serdeImports is empty (when serdeOnlyFiles is empty). For consistency with the workflow bundle implementation (lines 528-530), consider using a conditional approach to only include the comment when there are actual serde imports.

This PR ensures that all classes with custom serialization are automatically included in all bundle contexts (step, workflow, client) to ensure proper serialization/deserialization when crossing execution boundaries:

  • Classes defined in any context can now be properly serialized when passing data between:

    • Client → Workflow (when starting workflows)
    • Workflow → Step (when calling steps)
    • Step → Workflow (when returning step results)
    • Workflow → Client (when returning workflow results)
  • The build system now automatically discovers all files containing serializable classes and includes them in each bundle, regardless of where the class is originally defined.

  • No manual configuration is required - cross-registration happens automatically during the build process.

Pull request overview

This PR adds automatic cross-context class registration for serializable classes, enabling seamless serialization/deserialization across client, workflow, and step execution boundaries. The build system now automatically discovers files containing custom serialization patterns and includes them in all bundle contexts without manual configuration.

Changes:

  • Added discovery and tracking of serializable files in the esbuild plugin
  • Modified base-builder.ts to include serde files in step, workflow, and client bundles for cross-context registration
  • Added comprehensive test workflow and model classes (Vector) demonstrating cross-context serialization
  • Updated documentation to explain the cross-context class registration feature

This file appears to contain only a path string rather than valid TypeScript code. Based on the codebase convention (e.g., helpers.ts is duplicated across workbench directories), this should either be a proper TypeScript re-export statement like export * from '../../example/workflows/serde-models.js'; or a full copy of the serde-models.ts file from the example directory. A file containing just a path string will cause build/import errors.

The createImport helper function is duplicated three times in this file (here at lines 320-335, at lines 503-518 for workflow bundle, and at lines 746-756 for client bundle). Consider extracting this into a private class method to improve maintainability and ensure consistency across all three bundle contexts. This would make the code DRY and easier to maintain if the path normalization logic needs to be updated in the future.

The entry content generation here always includes the "Serde files for cross-context class registration" comment even when serdeImports is empty (when serdeOnlyFiles is empty). For consistency with the workflow bundle implementation (lines 528-530), consider using a conditional approach to only include the comment when there are actual serde imports.

All classes that are Workflow serializable need to be registered and available in all context modes (client, workflow, step).
