Workflows & Process Integration should contribute 10-20 candidate terms + 1 line disambiguator for each term

See parent issue #12

Non-member contributor note: following parent issue #12, I am not opening a PR for candidate terms. I also do not appear to have access to the private whiteboard, so I am leaving this compact draft here for Workflows & Process Integration editors to copy, reject, or rewrite.

These are intentionally one-line disambiguators, not full definitions.

Candidate term	One-line disambiguator
Agentic workflow	A workflow where an agent can choose or adapt steps within governed boundaries, unlike a fully predetermined process.
Deterministic workflow	A fixed process whose next step is selected by explicit rules or state, not by agent planning.
Workflow handoff	Transfer of responsibility, context, and state from one actor, agent, system, or queue to another.
Task decomposition	Breaking an objective into smaller executable steps, with ownership and completion evidence for each step.
Tool orchestration	Coordinating multiple tool calls, connectors, or services as one governed process.
Checkpoint	Recorded state where execution can pause, be reviewed, resume, retry, or roll back.
Human approval step	Workflow point where a human must authorize continuation, external action, or sensitive data use.
Retry policy	Rules for when failed steps are repeated, delayed, escalated, or stopped.
Compensating action	Follow-up action that reverses, offsets, or corrects an earlier workflow action when rollback is impossible.
Idempotent action	Action designed so repeated execution has the same intended effect as one execution.
Long-running task	Work item that spans multiple events, sessions, or time windows and requires durable state tracking.
Event trigger	Signal that starts or resumes workflow execution, such as a message, schedule, state change, or external callback.
State transition	Movement from one named workflow state to another with a recorded cause and allowed next actions.
Exception path	Alternate process route used when normal workflow execution fails, violates policy, or requires escalation.
Workflow provenance	Evidence showing which actor, model, tool, policy, input, and state transition produced a workflow outcome.
Process integration boundary	Interface where an agentic workflow crosses into an enterprise system, API, queue, ticket, or human-operated process.

I intentionally left overlap with Observability & Traceability, Governance/Risk, Security & Privacy, and Identity & Trust because the parent issue says this first pass is meant to expose overlaps before full definitions are written.
