Import: `Frank.WorkflowEngine` → Novolis

Policies that keep the org coherent

dotnetgovernancenovolis

Source: D:\frankrepos\Frank.WorkflowEngine

What

Single packable library Frank.WorkflowEngine + sample app + tests.

Frank package dependencies:

Frank.CronJobs 2.0.0
Frank.Mapping 1.1.0
Frank.Channels.DependencyInjection 1.2.0
Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Abstractions
Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Memory

Orchestration layer for multi-step workflows on top of channels, cron, and mapping.

Why

  • Capstone for infrastructure lane (messaging + scheduling + mapping).
  • Not in P0 waves; no Novolis equivalent today.
  • Useful for WireFish capture pipelines, codegen hosts, and long-running services.

How

Target

New repo: novolis-workflow-engine → Novolis.WorkflowEngine

**Note:** Org repo `novolis-workflows` is **GitHub Actions shared workflows** only. Do not put WorkflowEngine libraries there.

Prerequisites (PackageReference only)

PrerequisiteDoc
`Novolis.Mapping`[frank-mapping.md](./frank-mapping.html)
`Novolis.Scheduling`[frank-scheduling-cronjobs.md](./frank-scheduling-cronjobs.html)
`Novolis.Messaging.Channels`wave 0 (done in tree)

Port steps

  1. Wait for all three on GPR 2026.1.*.
  2. Bootstrap novolis-workflow-engine; port core library; retarget deps to Novolis packages.
  3. Port sample as novolis-dogfooding or docs sample (not shipped NuGet).
  4. Rebuild tests with TUnit; no Frank.Testing package refs in production.
  5. Modernize Microsoft.Extensions.* to .NET 10 aligned versions.

Acceptance

  • Frank.WorkflowEngine sample runs against Novolis packages only.
  • Documented in registry; frank-inventory updated.
