Workstreams
SOPs as code, the workflow a Runner executes. Formerly called Playbooks.
A Workstream is a standard operating procedure expressed as code: the concrete steps, checks, and gates a Runner follows inside a Runline.
Naming
Workstreams are what we used to call Playbooks, same concept. We settled on "Workstreams" once we actually built the primitive.
Two kinds of ownership
- Runline Workstreams: canonical process knowledge owned by the Runline; applies to any Runner in that domain.
- Runner Workstreams: specialized knowledge a specific Runner developed for edge cases; may graduate to a Runline Workstream if it generalizes.
Every Workstream is built audit-first: staged writes and approval gates before the automation, so the work is governable in a regulated institution.
