Steps
Differentiate the Changes
`Compare the current ORDER::HD workflow with my modified version`Shows added/removed/modified rulesets, risk assessment (removing rulesets = HIGH risk), and before/after state diagrams.
Validate Connections
`Run connection analysis on ORDER::HD — check for broken cross-entity links`Maps all internal, cross-entity, and cross-workflow connections. Flags any rulesets that emit events with no matching triggers.
Run Pre-Deploy Quality Gates
`Run pre-deploy checks for this workflow change``/fluent-pre-deploy-check` validates: environment is reachable, workflow structure is valid, no orphaned rulesets, all rule references resolve to deployed modules, settings exist for referenced keys. Reports READY or BLOCKED.If BLOCKED, shows exactly what to fix (e.g., "Rule `ACCT.returns.ValidateReturnWindow` not found in any deployed module — deploy the module first").Deploy the Workflow
`Deploy ORDER::HD to MY_RETAILER``/fluent-workflow-deploy` uploads the workflow. Tries MCP `workflow_upload` first; if that fails (auth issue, size limit), falls back to REST API with automatic token acquisition. Verifies the deployed version matches the uploaded version.Verify with E2E Test
`Run an E2E test of the HD flow to verify the deployment`Exercises the deployed workflow end-to-end and reports pass/fail. On failure, traces the specific event to pinpoint whether the new workflow change caused the issue.
