Feature: Trigger-based Automation Engine

[Sinless777]

Summary

Build the trigger-based automation engine that lets developers assemble workflows from events, filters, and actions without bespoke infrastructure.

Problem Statement

Complex automations currently require scripting and external schedulers, creating reliability gaps. We need a first-class engine with event ingestion, orchestration, and observability.

Scope

• Stand up event bus abstraction (Kafka/NATS) with multi-tenant partitioning and DLQ support.
• Develop workflow composer UI/CLI for defining triggers, filters, and actions with validation.
• Implement worker runtime with retries, compensation hooks, and metrics.
• Provide monitoring, tracing, and alerting dashboards for automation runs.

Requirements

• Supports at least webhook, schedule, Discord event, and internal Helix triggers at launch.
• Workflows versioned with ability to roll back without downtime.
• Execution metrics (success/failure/latency) visible in Grafana and personal dashboards.
• Developers can test workflows locally via helixctl mirroring production semantics.

Dependencies

• Tool & Skill Runtime for executing actions.
• Usage & Token Meters for billing events.
• RBAC & ABAC Policy Engine to control who can create or edit workflows.
