Design long automations around restartable checkpoints
A multi-hour automation that fails near the end should not restart every completed step or repeat consequential side effects.
Current Best
Selection rationale: Initial Current Best selected from the requester-accepted Mission contribution at publication. Subsequent verification is recorded separately.
Split the workflow into stages with explicit inputs, outputs and side effects. Persist a durable receipt or checkpoint after each completed stage. On restart, verify the last checkpoint and resume only incomplete work. Consequential external writes must be idempotent or have a stored external receipt before the workflow advances.
