Overview

This release introduces multi-domain support for local development environments, upgrades to .NET 10 LTS, and enhances state tracking with HumanTask support. Additionally, important improvements to Service Discovery validation, TriggerTask SSL configuration, and instance filtering capabilities have been implemented.

New Features

1. Multi-Domain Support in vNext Runtime

Added comprehensive multi-domain support for local development environments, allowing teams to run isolated domain environments simultaneously.

Details:

Run multiple domains (e.g., core, sales, hr) on the same infrastructure
Shared PostgreSQL, Redis, Vault, and Dapr services
Domain-specific port allocation with configurable offsets
Template-based domain creation from vnext/docker/templates/
Automatic database name generation (e.g., core → vNext_Core)

Features:

Pre-configured core (offset 0) and discovery (offset 5) domains included
Create custom domains with make create-domain DOMAIN=mydom PORT_OFFSET=10
Manage individual domains independently
View all running domains with make status-all-domains
Domain-specific environment files and configurations
Reserved offsets (0 and 5) prevent conflicts with system domains

Example Workflow:

# Start shared infrastructure
make up-infra

# Pre-configured domains (core and discovery) are ready to use
make up-vnext DOMAIN=core
make up-vnext DOMAIN=discovery

# Create and start your custom domain (use offset 10 or higher)
make create-domain DOMAIN=sales PORT_OFFSET=10
make db-create DOMAIN=sales
make up-vnext DOMAIN=sales

Port Allocation:

Offset	Domain (Example)	App Port	Execution	Inbox	Outbox	Init
0	core (reserved)	4201	4202	4203	4204	3005
5	discovery (reserved)	4206	4207	4208	4209	3010
10	sales	4211	4212	4213	4214	3015
20	hr	4221	4222	4223	4224	3025
30	finance	4231	4232	4233	4234	3035

⚠️ Reserved Offsets: The core and discovery domains are provided as pre-configured domains with offsets 0 and 5 respectively. Do not use these offsets for your custom domains. Start with offset 10 or higher for new domains.

Note: For complete documentation, see the Multi-Domain Support section in README.md

Enhancements

Reference: #168 - Upgrade to .NET 10 (LTS)

2. HumanTask State Tracking for Pending Instance Queries

Implemented comprehensive state tracking for human task workflows with new state subtypes and instance-level fields.

Details:

New State SubTypes: Busy (code: 5) and Human (code: 6)
New Instance fields: EffectiveStateType and EffectiveStateSubType
Enhanced filtering capabilities for pending instance queries
Automatic database migration on startup

State SubType Mapping:

SubType	Code	Description
None	0	No specific subtype
Success	1	Successful completion
Error	2	Error condition
Terminated	3	Manually terminated
Suspended	4	Temporarily suspended
Busy	5	Processing in progress (NEW)
Human	6	Human interaction required (NEW)

Instance Fields:

EffectiveStateType: Current effective state type
EffectiveStateSubType: Current effective state subtype

Use Cases:

Query all instances awaiting human interaction
Filter workflows in processing state
Track human task queues across workflows
Generate workload reports by state type

Filter Example:

GET /core/workflows/approval-flow/instances?filter={"effectiveStateSubType":{"eq":"6"}}

Migration: The database migration for new columns is applied automatically on startup.

Reference: #328 - Add HumanTask state tracking for pending instance queries

3. Persist InputHandler Result to InstanceTask.Request

InputHandler results are now persisted to the InstanceTask.Request field for complete task audit trail.

Details:

Input handler transformation results are stored
Enables full task execution audit trail
Supports debugging and compliance requirements
Request data available for historical analysis

Benefits:

Complete visibility into task input data
Track data transformations across task execution
Support for compliance and audit requirements
Enhanced debugging capabilities

Reference: #309 - Persist InputHandler result to InstanceTask.Request

Bug Fixes

1. Cannot Select $self as Target Value in Cancel Transitions

Fixed issue where $self could not be used as a target in cancel transitions.

Problem:

Cancel transitions couldn't use $self as target
Schema validation prevented valid use cases

Solution:

Added $self target support in vnext-schema for cancel transitions
Enables workflows to cancel and remain in current state

Reference: #307 - Cannot select $self as target value in cancel transitions

2. EffectiveState Display Issue from Nested Subflows

Fixed EffectiveState calculation error when displaying state from deeply nested subflow structures.

Problem:

EffectiveState showed incorrect values for nested subflows
Bottom-up state propagation had calculation errors

Solution:

Corrected bottom-up effective state display algorithm
Ensures accurate state representation across nested workflows

Reference: #316 - EffectiveState aktif son state gösterme sorunu

3. Align TriggerInvokers HttpClient Configuration with HttpTaskInvoker

Centralized and standardized HttpClient Factory configuration across all TriggerTask types.

Details:

Unified HttpClient Factory behavior for StartTask, DirectTriggerTask, GetInstanceDataTask, and SubProcessTask
Added validateSsl attribute to TriggerTask configuration
Consistent SSL validation across all task types

New Configuration:

{
  "type": "11",
  "config": {
    "domain": "core",
    "flow": "my-flow",
    "validateSsl": true
  }
}

validateSsl Attribute:

Value	Behavior
`true` (default)	SSL certificate validation enabled
`false`	SSL certificate validation disabled

Warning: Disable SSL validation only in development or trusted internal environments.

Reference: #320 - Align TriggerInvokers HttpClient Configuration with HttpTaskInvoker

Hotfixes

1. NotificationMapping Does Not Handle Subflow Data Returned from State Endpoint

Fixed notification mapping to correctly handle subflow data from state endpoints.

Problem:

NotificationMapping didn't align with current state behavior for subflow data
Subflow state information missing in notifications

Solution:

Updated notification mapping to match current state behavior
Ensures consistent subflow data handling across all endpoints

Reference: #283 - NotificationMapping.csx does not handle subflow data returned from state endpoint

2. Fail Fast When vNextApi:BaseUrl Points to Localhost in Production

Implemented validation to prevent localhost addresses in production Service Discovery configuration.

Details:

Application validates vNextApi:BaseUrl setting on startup
Localhost addresses (localhost, 127.0.0.1) are blocked in production environments
Fail-fast behavior prevents deployment with incorrect configuration

Validation Rules:

Development environment: Localhost allowed
Production environment: Localhost blocked and application fails to start

Error Example:

FATAL: Service Discovery configuration error - 
vNextApi:BaseUrl cannot point to localhost in production environment.
Current value: http://localhost:4201

Configuration:

{
  "vNextApi": {
    "BaseUrl": "https://api.production.com"  // Must be resolvable address
  }
}

Reference: #313 - Fail fast when vNextApi:BaseUrl points to localhost in production

3. Service Discovery Registration Failure Crash

Application now crashes immediately when Service Discovery is enabled but registration fails.

Details:

Fail-fast behavior when Service Discovery registration fails
Prevents silent failures in service mesh environments
Ensures deployment issues are detected immediately

Behavior:

Service Discovery enabled + Registration successful: Normal operation
Service Discovery enabled + Registration failed: Application crash
Service Discovery disabled: No validation

Error Handling:

FATAL: Service Discovery registration failed.
Cannot proceed without successful service registration.
Check network connectivity and Service Discovery endpoint configuration.

Note: This ensures that microservice deployments with Service Discovery don't run in a partially configured state.

Reference: #325 - Refactor: Move service discovery enable check into RegisterDomainAsync and add failure handling

4. Fail-Fast Extension Execution with Error Target Details

Extension tasks now fail immediately with detailed error information when errors occur.

Details:

Extension errors terminate request immediately
Error target details logged for troubleshooting
Detailed error response returned to client

Error Response:

{
  "type": "https://httpstatuses.com/500/extension-error",
  "title": "Extension Execution Failed",
  "status": 500,
  "detail": "Extension 'validate-customer' failed during execution",
  "errorTarget": "CustomerValidationExtension",
  "targetEndpoint": "https://extensions.api.com/validate",
  "traceId": "00-abc123-def456-01"
}

Benefits:

Fast failure detection
Detailed error context for debugging
Prevents cascade failures

Reference: #306 - Fail-fast extension execution with error target details

5. Add EffectiveState Column and Update Alias Handling

Enhanced instance filtering with EffectiveState field support.

Details:

EffectiveState information added to instance filtering queries
Improved alias handling for state-related fields
Better query performance for state-based searches

Filterable Fields:

effectiveState: Current effective state
effectiveStateType: Current effective state type
effectiveStateSubType: Current effective state subtype

Reference: #317 - Add EffectiveState column and update alias handling
