* Refactor workflow dispatch and instance creation process
This update splits the process of dispatching a workflow into two steps: Initialization and Execution. Now, first, a new workflow instance is created and saved with the input parameters. Second, the new workflow instance is dispatched for execution. This process ensures that the size of the message dispatched does not exceed acceptable limits and enhances workflow dispatch efficiency. It also helps avoid data loss in case of premature process termination or failure in the initial stages of execution.
* Change default workflow substatus to 'Pending'
The code changes involve modifying the default WorkflowSubStatus from 'Executing' to 'Pending'. This minor adjustment is implemented to represent a more accurate initial state of a new workflow instance in the WorkflowManagement module in Elsa.
* Add support for existing workflow instances in WorkflowInstance grain
The change extends the WorkflowInstance grain to include an IWorkflowInstanceStore to support workflows that already exist. Additionally, the CreateWorkflowHostAsync method is enhanced to rebuild a workflow host if the instance already exists.
* Simplify XML comments format
* Refactor comments in `StartWorkflowHostParams` class
Removed unnecessary comment tags in the `StartWorkflowHostParams` class for better readability and simplicity. Also, unused lines of code from the `IWorkflowRuntime` interface have been commented out to enhance clarity and cleanliness in the codebase.
* Remove unnecessary comment in MassTransitWorkflowDispatcher
The obsolete comment about attaching a version header to the message was removed from 'MassTransitWorkflowDispatcher.cs'. This comment was no longer relevant as the dispatcher no longer performs the action described.
* add a more generic UIHandler to customize how inputAttributes can be handle by the ui
* Add IPropertyUIHandlerResolver and update PropertyUIHandlerResolver
Introduced a new interface, IPropertyUIHandlerResolver, to resolve UI options for a property. Refactored PropertyUIHandlerResolver to implement this interface and removed the unnecessary partial class structure. Also, cleaned up some unnecessary usings in various files for better code organization.
* Refactor variable name and description in InputDescriptor
The 'uISpecifications' variable in the InputDescriptor model is renamed to 'uiSpecifications' for better readability. Additionally, the associated comment was revised to explain that the dictionary is used by the UI.
* "Refactor codebase for improved organization and cleaner architecture"
The codebase has been significantly refactored, moving several classes to more appropriate namespaces for improved organization and cleaner architecture. This includes shifting UI hint handlers, activities, and memory-related components, amongst others. The changes should improve code readability and maintainability, but as this is a broad refactoring effort, thorough regression testing is advised.
* Add CheckList UIHint with associated handler and provider
This update introduces a new UIHint called CheckList to the Elsa.Workflows.Core. This includes the necessary handler and provider classes. The handler is registered in the WorkflowsFeature.cs, and the CheckList UIHint key has been added to the InputUIHints.cs. Various associated files have been created in both the Elsa.Api.Client and Elsa.Workflows.Core project to support this new UIHint.
