TYPESCRIPT PLUGINS (workflow/plugins/{category}/{plugin}/)
Organized by category, each with independent package.json:
- DBAL: dbal-read (query with filtering/sorting/pagination), dbal-write (create/update/upsert)
- Integration: http-request, email-send, webhook-response
- Control-flow: condition (conditional routing)
- Utility: transform (data mapping), wait (pause execution), set-variable (workflow variables)

NEXT.JS INTEGRATION (frontends/nextjs/)
- API Routes:
  * GET /api/v1/{tenant}/workflows - List workflows with pagination
  * POST /api/v1/{tenant}/workflows - Create workflow
  * POST /api/v1/{tenant}/workflows/{id}/execute - Execute workflow
  * Rate limiting: 100 reads/min, 50 writes/min
- React Components:
  * WorkflowBuilder: SVG-based DAG canvas with node editing
  * ExecutionMonitor: Real-time execution dashboard with metrics
- React Hooks:
  * useWorkflow(): Execution state management with auto-retry

+# Phase 3 Admin Packages Page - Code Patterns & Examples
+
+**Common code patterns and examples for the /admin/packages implementation**
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 1: API Call with Error Handling
+
+### Standard Pattern
+
+```typescript
+const response = await fetch(`/api/admin/packages/${packageId}/install`, {
+  method: 'POST',
+  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+  body: JSON.stringify({ userId }),
+})
+
+if (!response.ok) {
+  const errorData = await response.json().catch(() => ({}))
+  throw new Error(
+    errorData.error || `Failed to install package (${response.status})`
+  )
+}
+
+const data = await response.json()
+return data
+```
+
+### With Timeout
+
+```typescript
+const controller = new AbortController()
+const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 30000) // 30s timeout
+
+try {
+  const response = await fetch(`/api/admin/packages/${packageId}/install`, {
+    method: 'POST',
+    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+    body: JSON.stringify({ userId }),
+    signal: controller.signal,
+  })
+  // ... rest of error handling
+} finally {
+  clearTimeout(timeoutId)
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 2: Debounced Search
+
+### Using useEffect Cleanup
+
+```typescript
+const onSearchChange = useCallback(
+  (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
+    const newSearch = event.target.value
+    setSearchQuery(newSearch)
+    setPage(0)
+  },
+  []
+)
+
+// In usePackages hook:
+useEffect(() => {
+  const timer = setTimeout(() => {
+    // Actual fetch happens here (in refetch)
+    refetch()
+  }, 500) // 500ms debounce
+
+  return () => clearTimeout(timer)
+}, [searchQuery, page, pageSize, filterStatus, refetch])
+```
+
+### Or with useMemo
+
+```typescript
+const debouncedSearch = useMemo(
+  () => {
+    return debounce((query: string) => {
+      setSearchQuery(query)
+      setPage(0)
+      refetch()
+    }, 500)
+  },
+  [refetch]
+)
+
+const onSearchChange = useCallback(
+  (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
+    debouncedSearch(event.target.value)
+  },
+  [debouncedSearch]
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 3: Pagination Handler
+
+### From Material-UI TablePagination
+
+```typescript
+const onPageChange = useCallback(
+  (event: unknown, newPage: number) => {
+    setPage(newPage)
+    // Scroll to top
+    window.scrollTo({ top: 0, behavior: 'smooth' })
+  },
+  []
+)
+
+// In JSON component:
+{
+  type: 'TablePagination',
+  component: 'div',
+  count: '{{packages ? packages.length : 0}}',
+  page: '{{page}}',
+  rowsPerPage: '{{pageSize}}',
+  onPageChange: '{{onPageChange}}',
+  rowsPerPageOptions: [10, 25, 50, 100],
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 4: Confirmation Dialog
+
+### Browser confirm()
+
+```typescript
+const onUninstall = useCallback(
+  async (packageId: string) => {
+    const confirmed = window.confirm(
+      `Are you sure you want to uninstall package ${packageId}?\n\nThis action cannot be undone.`
+    )
+
+    if (!confirmed) return
+
+    // Proceed with uninstall
+    await performUninstall(packageId)
+  },
+  []
+)
+```
+
+### Custom Dialog Component (Material-UI)
+
+```typescript
+const [dialogOpen, setDialogOpen] = useState(false)
+const [pendingPackageId, setPendingPackageId] = useState<string | null>(null)
+
+const handleUninstallClick = useCallback((packageId: string) => {
+  setPendingPackageId(packageId)
+  setDialogOpen(true)
+}, [])
+
+const handleConfirm = useCallback(async () => {
+  if (pendingPackageId) {
+    await performUninstall(pendingPackageId)
+    setPendingPackageId(null)
+    setDialogOpen(false)
+  }
+}, [pendingPackageId])
+
+// In JSX:
+<Dialog open={dialogOpen} onClose={() => setDialogOpen(false)}>
+  <DialogTitle>Confirm Uninstall</DialogTitle>
+  <DialogContent>
+    Are you sure you want to uninstall {pendingPackageId}?
+  </DialogContent>
+  <DialogActions>
+    <Button onClick={() => setDialogOpen(false)}>Cancel</Button>
+    <Button onClick={handleConfirm} color="error" variant="contained">
+      Uninstall
+    </Button>
+  </DialogActions>
+</Dialog>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 5: Loading States
+
+### Skeleton Loader
+
+```typescript
+function PackageListSkeleton() {
+  return (
+    <Box sx={{ p: 3 }}>
+      {Array.from({ length: 5 }).map((_, i) => (
+        <Box key={i} sx={{ mb: 2, display: 'flex', gap: 2 }}>
+          <Skeleton variant="circular" width={40} height={40} />
+          <Box sx={{ flex: 1 }}>
+            <Skeleton height={20} width="60%" />
+            <Skeleton height={16} width="40%" sx={{ mt: 1 }} />
+          </Box>
+        </Box>
+      ))}
+    </Box>
+  )
+}
+
+// In component:
+{isLoading ? <PackageListSkeleton /> : <PackageList />}
+```
+
+### Button Loading State
+
+```typescript
+<Button
+  onClick={() => onInstall(packageId)}
+  disabled={isMutating}
+  startIcon={isMutating ? <CircularProgress size={20} /> : <Download />}
+>
+  {isMutating ? 'Installing...' : 'Install'}
+</Button>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 6: URL State Synchronization
+
+### Push to History
+
+```typescript
+useEffect(() => {
+  const params = new URLSearchParams()
+
+  // Only add non-default values
+  if (page > 0) params.set('page', page.toString())
+  if (pageSize !== 25) params.set('pageSize', pageSize.toString())
+  if (searchQuery) params.set('search', searchQuery)
+  if (filterStatus !== 'all') params.set('status', filterStatus)
+
+  const queryString = params.toString()
+  const url = queryString ? `/admin/packages?${queryString}` : '/admin/packages'
+
+  // Use replace for filter changes, push for pagination
+  router.push(url, { shallow: true })
+}, [page, pageSize, searchQuery, filterStatus, router])
+```
+
+### Shallow routing (keep scroll position)
+
+```typescript
+router.push(url, { shallow: true })
+```
+
+### Replace instead of push (for back button)
+
+```typescript
+router.replace(url, { shallow: true })
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 7: Error Recovery
+
+### Retry Pattern
+
+```typescript
+const [error, setError] = useState<string | null>(null)
+
+const handleRetry = useCallback(() => {
+  setError(null)
+  refetch()
+}, [refetch])
+
+// In JSX:
+{error && (
+  <Alert
+    severity="error"
+    onClose={handleRetry}
+    action={<Button onClick={handleRetry}>Retry</Button>}
+  >
+    {error}
+  </Alert>
+)}
+```
+
+### Error Boundaries
+
+```typescript
+class ErrorBoundary extends React.Component {
+  state = { hasError: false, error: null }
+
+  static getDerivedStateFromError(error) {
+    return { hasError: true, error }
+  }
+
+  render() {
+    if (this.state.hasError) {
+      return (
+        <Box sx={{ p: 3 }}>
+          <Typography color="error">
+            Something went wrong: {this.state.error?.message}
+          </Typography>
+          <Button onClick={() => window.location.reload()}>Reload Page</Button>
+        </Box>
+      )
+    }
+
+    return this.props.children
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 8: Callback Memoization
+
+### Proper useCallback Usage
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ WRONG: Dependencies missing
+const onInstall = useCallback(async (packageId: string) => {
+  await fetch(`/api/admin/packages/${packageId}/install`, {
+    method: 'POST',
+    body: JSON.stringify({ userId }),
+  })
+  refetch()
+  showToast({ type: 'success', message: 'Installed' })
+}, []) // Missing dependencies!
+
+// ✅ CORRECT: All dependencies included
+const onInstall = useCallback(
+  async (packageId: string) => {
+    await fetch(`/api/admin/packages/${packageId}/install`, {
+      method: 'POST',
+      body: JSON.stringify({ userId }),
+    })
+    await refetch()
+    showToast({ type: 'success', message: 'Installed' })
+  },
+  [userId, refetch, showToast] // All external dependencies
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 9: Query Parameter Building
+
+### Helper Function
+
+```typescript
+function buildPackageQuery(params: {
+  page?: number
+  pageSize?: number
+  search?: string
+  status?: string
+}): URLSearchParams {
+  const query = new URLSearchParams()
+
+  if (params.page !== undefined && params.page > 0) {
+    query.set('page', params.page.toString())
+  }
+
+  if (params.pageSize !== undefined && params.pageSize !== 25) {
+    query.set('pageSize', params.pageSize.toString())
+  }
+
+  if (params.search) {
+    query.set('search', params.search)
+  }
+
+  if (params.status && params.status !== 'all') {
+    query.set('status', params.status)
+  }
+
+  return query
+}
+
+// Usage:
+const query = buildPackageQuery({ page, pageSize, search: searchQuery, status: filterStatus })
+const response = await fetch(`/api/admin/packages?${query}`)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 10: Modal State Management
+
+### Single Package Modal
+
+```typescript
+const [selectedPackageId, setSelectedPackageId] = useState<string | null>(null)
+
+const openModal = useCallback((packageId: string) => {
+  setSelectedPackageId(packageId)
+}, [])
+
+const closeModal = useCallback(() => {
+  setSelectedPackageId(null)
+}, [])
+
+const selectedPackage = packages.find(p => p.packageId === selectedPackageId)
+
+// In JSX:
+{selectedPackageId && selectedPackage && (
+  <Modal>
+    <ModalTitle>{selectedPackage.name}</ModalTitle>
+  </Modal>
+)}
+```
+
+### Multi-Modal Stack
+
+```typescript
+const [modals, setModals] = useState<string[]>([]) // Stack of modal IDs
+
+const openModal = useCallback((id: string) => {
+  setModals(prev => [...prev, id])
+}, [])
+
+const closeModal = useCallback(() => {
+  setModals(prev => prev.slice(0, -1))
+}, [])
+
+const currentModal = modals[modals.length - 1]
+
+// Allows nested modals
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 11: Toast Notifications
+
+### Simple Toast
+
+```typescript
+type ToastType = 'success' | 'error' | 'info' | 'warning'
+
+interface Toast {
+  id: string
+  type: ToastType
+  message: string
+  duration?: number
+}
+
+const [toasts, setToasts] = useState<Toast[]>([])
+
+const showToast = useCallback((message: string, type: ToastType = 'info') => {
+  const id = Math.random().toString(36)
+  const toast: Toast = { id, type, message, duration: 3000 }
+
+  setToasts(prev => [...prev, toast])
+
+  setTimeout(() => {
+    setToasts(prev => prev.filter(t => t.id !== id))
+  }, toast.duration || 3000)
+}, [])
+
+// In JSX:
+<Box sx={{ position: 'fixed', bottom: 20, right: 20, zIndex: 9999 }}>
+  {toasts.map(toast => (
+    <Alert
+      key={toast.id}
+      severity={toast.type}
+      sx={{ mb: 1 }}
+      onClose={() => setToasts(prev => prev.filter(t => t.id !== toast.id))}
+    >
+      {toast.message}
+    </Alert>
+  ))}
+</Box>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 12: Search with URL Sync
+
+### Complete Example
+
+```typescript
+const [searchInput, setSearchInput] = useState('')
+const router = useRouter()
+const searchParams = useSearchParams()
+
+// Parse initial search from URL
+useEffect(() => {
+  const urlSearch = searchParams.get('search') || ''
+  setSearchInput(urlSearch)
+}, [searchParams])
+
+// Debounce search query changes
+useEffect(() => {
+  const timer = setTimeout(() => {
+    // Update URL without refetch (refetch happens via dependency)
+    const params = new URLSearchParams()
+    if (searchInput) params.set('search', searchInput)
+
+    router.push(`/admin/packages?${params.toString()}`, { shallow: true })
+  }, 500)
+
+  return () => clearTimeout(timer)
+}, [searchInput, router])
+
+const onSearchChange = (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
+  setSearchInput(event.target.value)
+  setPage(0) // Reset pagination
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 13: Conditional Rendering in JSON
+
+### Using Type System
+
+```typescript
+// Show different buttons based on status
+{
+  type: 'conditional',
+  condition: '{{package.installed}}',
+  then: {
+    type: 'Stack',
+    direction: 'row',
+    spacing: 1,
+    children: [
+      {
+        type: 'Button',
+        onClick: '{{() => onUninstall(package.id)}}',
+        children: 'Uninstall',
+      },
+    ],
+  },
+  else: {
+    type: 'Button',
+    onClick: '{{() => onInstall(package.id)}}',
+    children: 'Install',
+  },
+}
+```
+
+### Nested Conditionals
+
+```typescript
+{
+  type: 'conditional',
+  condition: '{{isLoading}}',
+  then: {
+    type: 'CircularProgress',
+  },
+  else: {
+    type: 'conditional',
+    condition: '{{error}}',
+    then: {
+      type: 'Alert',
+      severity: 'error',
+      children: '{{error}}',
+    },
+    else: {
+      type: 'Table',
+      // ... table content
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 14: Filter with Reset
+
+### Filter with All Option
+
+```typescript
+const onFilterChange = useCallback((event: any) => {
+  const newStatus = event.target.value
+  setFilterStatus(newStatus)
+  setPage(0)
+}, [])
+
+// In JSON:
+{
+  type: 'Select',
+  value: '{{filterStatus}}',
+  onChange: '{{onFilterChange}}',
+  children: [
+    { type: 'MenuItem', value: 'all', children: 'All Packages' },
+    { type: 'MenuItem', value: 'installed', children: 'Installed Only' },
+    { type: 'MenuItem', value: 'available', children: 'Available Only' },
+    { type: 'MenuItem', value: 'disabled', children: 'Disabled Only' },
+  ],
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 15: Action Button Disabled States
+
+### Smart Disable Logic
+
+```typescript
+const isActionDisabled = isMutating || isLoading || error !== null
+
+const onInstall = useCallback(
+  async (packageId: string) => {
+    if (isActionDisabled) return // Guard against multiple clicks
+
+    try {
+      setIsMutating(true)
+      // ... perform action
+    } finally {
+      setIsMutating(false)
+    }
+  },
+  [isActionDisabled]
+)
+
+// In JSON:
+{
+  type: 'Button',
+  disabled: '{{isMutating || isLoading}}',
+  onClick: '{{() => onInstall(packageId)}}',
+  children: '{{isMutating ? "Installing..." : "Install"}}',
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 16: Type-Safe Props
+
+### Props Interface
+
+```typescript
+interface PackageListProps {
+  packages: Package[]
+  page: number
+  pageSize: number
+  searchQuery: string
+  filterStatus: 'all' | 'installed' | 'available' | 'disabled'
+  isLoading: boolean
+  error: string | null
+  onInstall: (packageId: string) => Promise<void>
+  onUninstall: (packageId: string) => Promise<void>
+  onEnable: (packageId: string) => Promise<void>
+  onDisable: (packageId: string) => Promise<void>
+  onViewDetails: (packageId: string) => void
+  onSearchChange: (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => void
+  onFilterChange: (event: React.ChangeEvent<{ value: unknown }>) => void
+  onPageChange: (event: unknown, newPage: number) => void
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 17: Defensive Programming
+
+### Null Checks
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ Unsafe
+const package = packages.find(p => p.packageId === selectedId)
+return <PackageDetail data={package} />
+
+// ✅ Safe
+const package = packages.find(p => p.packageId === selectedId)
+if (!package) return null
+return <PackageDetail data={package} />
+
+// ✅ Also Safe
+{selectedId && selectedPackage && <PackageDetail data={selectedPackage} />}
+```
+
+### Type Guards
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ Unsafe
+const response = await fetch(url)
+const data = response.json()
+setPackages(data.packages)
+
+// ✅ Safe
+const response = await fetch(url)
+if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Failed')
+
+const data = await response.json()
+if (!Array.isArray(data.packages)) {
+  throw new Error('Invalid response format')
+}
+setPackages(data.packages)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 18: Custom Hook for List Fetching
+
+### Complete Hook Example
+
+```typescript
+interface UseFetchListOptions {
+  endpoint: string
+  params?: Record<string, string | number>
+  refetchDeps?: unknown[]
+}
+
+export function useFetchList<T>(options: UseFetchListOptions) {
+  const [data, setData] = useState<T[]>([])
+  const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(true)
+  const [error, setError] = useState<Error | null>(null)
+
+  const fetch = useCallback(async () => {
+    try {
+      setIsLoading(true)
+      setError(null)
+
+      const query = new URLSearchParams()
+      Object.entries(options.params || {}).forEach(([key, value]) => {
+        query.set(key, String(value))
+      })
+
+      const response = await fetch(
+        `${options.endpoint}?${query.toString()}`
+      )
+
+      if (!response.ok) {
+        throw new Error(`Failed to fetch: ${response.statusText}`)
+      }
+
+      const result = await response.json()
+      setData(result.items || [])
+    } catch (err) {
+      setError(err instanceof Error ? err : new Error('Unknown error'))
+      setData([])
+    } finally {
+      setIsLoading(false)
+    }
+  }, [options.endpoint, options.params])
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    fetch()
+  }, [fetch, ...(options.refetchDeps || [])])
+
+  return { data, isLoading, error, refetch: fetch }
+}
+
+// Usage:
+const { data: packages, isLoading } = useFetchList<Package>({
+  endpoint: '/api/admin/packages',
+  params: { page, pageSize, search: searchQuery },
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices Summary
+
+1. **Always memoize callbacks** with useCallback and include all deps
+2. **Type everything** - Use interfaces for props and API responses
+3. **Handle errors gracefully** - Show user-friendly messages
+4. **Use URL state** - Allow bookmarking/sharing filter states
+5. **Debounce expensive operations** - Search should have 500ms delay
+6. **Disable during mutations** - Prevent duplicate requests
+7. **Confirm destructive actions** - Uninstall should ask first
+8. **Show loading states** - Keep UI responsive to user
+9. **Guard against null** - Check data exists before using
+10. **Keep components small** - Easier to test and maintain

+
+## Step 2: Create Type Definitions
+
+**File**: `/frontends/nextjs/src/types/admin-types.ts`
+
+```typescript
+export interface Package {
+  packageId: string
+  id?: string
+  name: string
+  version: string
+  description?: string
+  category?: string
+  author?: string
+  license?: string

+  installed: boolean
+  enabled?: boolean
+  installedAt?: string | number
+  dependencies?: Record<string, string>
+  exports?: {
+    components?: string[]
+  }
+}
+
+export interface InstalledPackage {
+  id: string

+}
+
+export interface PackageListResponse {
+  packages: Package[]

+  page: number
+  pageSize: number
+}
+
+export interface PackageOperationResponse {
+  success: boolean
+  packageId: string
+  message: string
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Create Custom Hooks
+
+**File**: `/frontends/nextjs/src/hooks/usePackages.ts`
+
+```typescript
+import { useEffect, useState, useCallback } from 'react'
+import type { Package } from '@/types/admin-types'

+}
+```
+
+**File**: `/frontends/nextjs/src/hooks/usePackageDetails.ts`
+
+```typescript

+    selectedPackageId,
+    isModalOpen,
+    openModal,
+    closeModal,
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 4: Create useToast Hook (If Missing)
+
+**File**: `/frontends/nextjs/src/hooks/useToast.ts`
+
+```typescript
+import { useCallback } from 'react'
+
+interface Toast {
+  type: 'success' | 'error' | 'info' | 'warning'
+  message: string
+  duration?: number
+}
+
+export function useToast() {
+  const showToast = useCallback((toast: Toast) => {
+    // If no toast library exists, use browser alert for now
+    // Replace with Material-UI Snackbar or similar in production
+    if (toast.type === 'error') {
+      console.error('[Toast]', toast.message)
+      alert(`Error: ${toast.message}`)
+    } else if (toast.type === 'success') {
+      console.log('[Toast]', toast.message)
+      // Could emit custom event or use context provider
+    }
+  }, [])
+
+  return { showToast }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 5: Create Client Component
+
+**File**: `/frontends/nextjs/src/components/admin/PackagesPageClient.tsx`
+
+### Part 1: Imports & Component Definition
+
+```typescript
+'use client'
+
+import { useEffect, useState, useCallback } from 'react'
+import { useRouter, useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'
+import { JSONComponentRenderer } from '@/components/JSONComponentRenderer'
+import type { JSONComponent } from '@/lib/packages/json/types'
+import { usePackages } from '@/hooks/usePackages'
+import { usePackageDetails } from '@/hooks/usePackageDetails'
+import { useToast } from '@/hooks/useToast'
+import type { Package } from '@/types/admin-types'
+
+interface PackagesPageClientProps {
+  userId: string
+  userLevel: number
+}
+
+export function PackagesPageClient({ userId, userLevel }: PackagesPageClientProps) {
+  const router = useRouter()
+  const searchParams = useSearchParams()
+  const { showToast } = useToast()
+```
+
+### Part 2: State Management
+
+```typescript
+  // URL state
+  const [page, setPage] = useState<number>(
+    parseInt(searchParams.get('page') ?? '0', 10)
+  )
+  const [pageSize, setPageSize] = useState<number>(
+    parseInt(searchParams.get('pageSize') ?? '25', 10)
+  )
+  const [searchQuery, setSearchQuery] = useState<string>(
+    searchParams.get('search') ?? ''
+  )
+  const [filterStatus, setFilterStatus] = useState<string>(
+    searchParams.get('status') ?? 'all'
+  )
+
+  // Data fetching
+  const {
+    packages,
+    isLoading,
+    error: listError,
+    refetch: refetchPackages,
+  } = usePackages({ page, pageSize, searchQuery, filterStatus })
+
+  // Modal state
+  const {
+    selectedPackageId,
+    isModalOpen,
+    openModal,
+    closeModal,
+  } = usePackageDetails()
+
+  // UI state
+  const [error, setError] = useState<string | null>(null)
+  const [isMutating, setIsMutating] = useState<boolean>(false)
+
+  const selectedPackage = packages.find(p => p.packageId === selectedPackageId)
+```
+
+### Part 3: URL Synchronization
+
+```typescript
+  // Sync URL params
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const params = new URLSearchParams()
+    if (page > 0) params.set('page', page.toString())
+    if (pageSize !== 25) params.set('pageSize', pageSize.toString())

+
+    const queryString = params.toString()
+    const url = queryString ? `/admin/packages?${queryString}` : '/admin/packages'
+    router.push(url, { shallow: true })
+  }, [page, pageSize, searchQuery, filterStatus, router])
+```
+
+### Part 4: Event Handlers
+
+```typescript
+  // Search handler

+    },
+  }
+
+  return <JSONComponentRenderer component={MODAL} />
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 6: Test the Page
+
+### Quick Test Checklist
+
+```typescript
+// 1. Permission check
+// Navigate to /admin/packages as non-god user
+// Should see: "Access Denied"
+
+// 2. Permission granted
+// Navigate as god user (level 4+)
+// Should see: Package list table
+
+// 3. Search
+// Type in search box
+// List filters (debounced)
+
+// 4. Filter
+// Change status dropdown
+// List filters immediately
+
+// 5. Pagination
+// Click "Next" button
+// URL changes, data updates
+
+// 6. Install
+// Click install button on available package
+// Toast shows success
+// List updates
+// Package now shows as "Installed"
+
+// 7. Modal
+// Click package row
+// Modal opens
+// Shows full details
+// Close button works
+
+// 8. Uninstall from modal
+// Click uninstall
+// Confirmation dialog
+// If confirmed: uninstalls, refreshes, closes modal
+```
+
+---
+
+## Common Issues & Solutions
+
+### Issue 1: "Cannot find module useToast"
+
+**Solution**: Create the hook if it doesn't exist:
+```typescript
+// /frontends/nextjs/src/hooks/useToast.ts
+export function useToast() {
+  return {
+    showToast: (toast) => console.log(toast),
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Issue 2: JSONComponentRenderer not found
+
+**Solution**: Check import path matches:
+```typescript
+import { JSONComponentRenderer } from '@/components/JSONComponentRenderer'
+```
+
+### Issue 3: Types not working
+
+**Solution**: Ensure admin-types.ts is in correct location:
+```
+/frontends/nextjs/src/types/admin-types.ts
+```
+
+### Issue 4: API returns 404
+
+**Solution**: Verify endpoints exist:
+- GET /api/admin/packages
+- POST /api/admin/packages/:id/install (etc.)
+
+Check Subagent 2 implementation for endpoints.
+
+### Issue 5: Modal doesn't close after action
+
+**Solution**: Ensure handlers properly call `closeModal()`:
+```typescript
+if (isModalOpen) closeModal()
+```
+
+### Issue 6: URL params don't update
+
+**Solution**: Check useEffect runs after state changes:
+```typescript
+}, [page, pageSize, searchQuery, filterStatus, router])
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+1. **Lazy load JSON components** - Only render modal when needed
+2. **Memoize callbacks** - Use useCallback for all handlers
+3. **Debounce search** - Consider adding useEffect cleanup
+4. **Pagination limits** - Keep pageSize reasonable (25 is good)
+5. **Error caching** - Don't refetch immediately on error
+
+---
+
+## Accessibility Checklist
+
+- [ ] Add `aria-label` to all icon buttons
+- [ ] Add `aria-busy` during loading
+- [ ] Use semantic HTML
+- [ ] Test keyboard navigation (Tab, Enter, Escape)
+- [ ] Test screen reader with package names
+- [ ] Add ARIA labels to table cells
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps After Implementation
+
+1. **Write tests** - Unit tests for hooks, E2E tests for page
+2. **Add keyboard shortcuts** - Ctrl+K for search, Escape for modal
+3. **Add analytics** - Track install/uninstall events
+4. **Optimize bundle** - Code-split modal component
+5. **Add caching** - Cache package list with stale-while-revalidate
+6. **Add favorites** - Let admins favorite frequently used packages

+
+## Test Discovery Verification
+
+All test files follow the correct pattern for automatic discovery:
+
+### Directory Structure
+```
+packages/
+├── user_manager/
+│   └── playwright/
+│       └── tests.json                    ✅
+├── package_manager/
+│   └── playwright/
+│       └── tests.json                    ✅
+├── database_manager/
+│   └── playwright/
+│       └── tests.json                    ✅
+└── admin/
+    └── playwright/
+        └── tests.json                    ✅
+```
+
+### Schema Validation
+All test files include:
+- ✅ `$schema` property pointing to playwright schema
+- ✅ `package` property matching directory name
+- ✅ `version` property (1.0)
+- ✅ `description` property
+- ✅ `tests` array with test definitions
+- ✅ Each test has `name`, `description`, `tags`, `timeout`, `steps`
+- ✅ Each step has `action` and appropriate parameters
+
+### Test Discovery Command
+```bash
+$ find packages -name 'playwright' -type d | xargs -I {} find {} -name 'tests.json'
+packages/user_manager/playwright/tests.json
+packages/package_manager/playwright/tests.json
+packages/database_manager/playwright/tests.json
+packages/admin/playwright/tests.json
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick Verification Commands
+
+### Verify All Test Files Exist
+```bash
+ls -la packages/user_manager/playwright/tests.json
+ls -la packages/package_manager/playwright/tests.json
+ls -la packages/database_manager/playwright/tests.json
+ls -la packages/admin/playwright/tests.json
+```
+
+### Count Total Tests
+```bash
+jq '.tests | length' packages/*/playwright/tests.json | paste -sd+ | bc
+# Expected: 36
+```
+
+### Validate JSON Syntax
+```bash
+for f in packages/*/playwright/tests.json; do
+  jq . "$f" > /dev/null && echo "✓ $f" || echo "✗ $f"
+done
+```
+
+### List All Test Names
+```bash
+for f in packages/*/playwright/tests.json; do
+  echo "=== $(jq -r '.package' "$f") ==="
+  jq -r '.tests[] | .name' "$f"
+done
+```

+
+## Test Architecture
+
+### Playwright JSON Interpreter
+
+The tests use a declarative JSON-based format (not traditional Playwright code):
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Non-technical users can write tests
+- Version control friendly (JSON diffs)
+- Aligned with MetaBuilder's data-driven philosophy
+- Easy to maintain and update
+- Auto-discovery mechanism (no manual registration)
+
+**Engine**: PlaywrightTestInterpreter in `/e2e/tests.spec.ts`
+- 25+ actions (click, fill, navigate, etc.)
+- 20+ assertion matchers (toBeVisible, toContainText, etc.)
+- Smart element locators (testId → role → label → selector)
+- Automatic error handling and reporting
+
+### Test Discovery Mechanism
+
+Automatic discovery in `/e2e/tests.spec.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+// Pseudo-code
+for (const package of packages) {
+  const testPath = join(packagesDir, package, 'playwright', 'tests.json')
+  if (exists(testPath)) {
+    const tests = parseJSON(testPath)
+    // Automatically register tests
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**No manual registration needed** - Add `tests.json` and tests are automatically discovered.
+
+### Test Execution Flow
+
+```
+1. Global Setup (e2e/global.setup.ts)
+   ↓
+2. Seed Database (/api/bootstrap)
+   ↓
+3. Discover Tests (4 JSON files)
+   ↓
+4. Run Tests (Parallel where possible)
+   ├─ User Management (12 tests)
+   ├─ Package Management (10 tests)
+   ├─ Database Admin (8 tests)
+   └─ Critical Flows (6 tests)
+   ↓
+5. Generate Report (HTML + Screenshots)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Element Locator Strategy
+
+Tests use smart locator selection in priority order:
+
+### Priority Order
+
+1. **Test ID** (Recommended)
+   ```json
+   { "testId": "user-list-table" }
+   ```
+   - Most reliable and performant
+   - Decoupled from styling
+
+2. **ARIA Role + Text** (Good)
+   ```json
+   { "role": "button", "text": "Create User" }
+   ```
+   - Accessible by default
+   - Tests semantic HTML
+
+3. **Label** (Form Fields)
+   ```json
+   { "label": "Email Address" }
+   ```
+   - Form-field specific
+   - Accessible
+
+4. **Placeholder** (Inputs)
+   ```json
+   { "placeholder": "Search users..." }
+   ```
+   - Text input specific
+
+5. **CSS Selector** (Last Resort)
+   ```json
+   { "selector": "tbody tr:first-child" }
+   ```
+   - Fragile, changes with styling
+   - Avoid unless necessary
+
+### Implementation Checklist for Developers
+
+Before tests will pass, ensure these elements have proper attributes:
+
+**Test IDs** (data-testid attributes):
+- [ ] `user-list-table` - Main user list table
+- [ ] `user-form` - User creation/edit form
+- [ ] `username-error` - Username error message
+- [ ] `email-error` - Email error message
+- [ ] `role-filter-button` - Role filter button
+- [ ] `package-list-grid` - Package grid/list
+- [ ] `package-card` - Individual package card
+- [ ] `installed-badge` - Installed status badge
+- [ ] `version-chip` - Version display
+- [ ] `package-menu` - Package actions menu
+- [ ] `stats-panel` - Database stats panel
+- [ ] `health-badge` - Health status badge
+- [ ] `entity-table` - Entity browser table
+
+**ARIA Roles** (semantic HTML):
+- [ ] Buttons have `role="button"` or use `<button>`
+- [ ] Headers have `role="columnheader"` or use `<th>`
+- [ ] Tables use proper `<table>`, `<thead>`, `<tbody>`
+- [ ] Alerts use `role="alert"`
+- [ ] Dialogs use `role="dialog"`
+- [ ] Tabs use `role="tab"`
+
+**Labels** (form accessibility):
+- [ ] All inputs have associated `<label>` with `for` attribute
+- [ ] Or use aria-label attribute
+
+---
+
+## Test Data Setup
+
+### Database Initialization
+
+**Pre-test (Global Setup)**:
+1. Wait 2 seconds for server startup
+2. Call POST `/api/bootstrap`
+3. This creates seed data:
+   - 3 test users (supergod, admin, testuser)
+   - 12 core packages pre-installed
+   - System permissions configured
+
+**Test Users**:
+| Username | Role | Email | Purpose |
+|----------|------|-------|---------|
+| supergod | supergod (5) | supergod@metabuilder.local | Full access |
+| admin | admin (3) | admin@metabuilder.local | Admin tests |
+| testuser | user (1) | testuser@metabuilder.dev | Permission tests |
+
+**Test Packages** (12 core, pre-installed):
+- ui_home, ui_header, ui_footer
+- auth, dashboard
+- user_manager, package_manager, database_manager
+- Plus 4 more core packages
+
+### Test Data Cleanup
+
+- **Between tests**: Tests use unique prefixes (workflow_user, retry_test, etc.)
+- **Between runs**: Database reset via `npm --prefix dbal/development run db:push` (idempotent)
+- **Persistent issues**: Failed tests leave data for debugging
+
+---
+

+```
+
+### Debugging Output
+
+**On test failure**:
+1. Screenshot saved: `test-results/[test-name]/[page_screenshot].png`
+2. Video saved: `test-results/[test-name]/video.webm` (30 sec)
+3. Trace saved: `test-results/[test-name]/trace.zip` (replay)
+4. HTML report: `playwright-report/index.html`
+
+### Troubleshooting Guide
+
+#### Issue: "Element not found"
+
+```
+Error: Timeout waiting for selector tbody tr
+```
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Add `waitForSelector` before interaction
+2. Use `getByTestId()` instead of CSS selector
+3. Add `waitForLoadState('networkidle')` before assertions
+4. Verify element exists in browser DevTools
+
+#### Issue: "API timeout"
+
+```
+Error: Timeout waiting for POST /api/users
+```
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Check backend: `curl http://localhost:3000/api/health`
+2. Verify DB: `npm --prefix dbal/development run db:push`
+3. Increase timeout: Add `timeout: 60000` to test
+4. Check backend logs for errors
+
+#### Issue: "Permission denied"
+
+```
+Error: Access Denied - Admin access required
+```
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Verify test uses correct user role
+2. Check role permissions in database
+3. Run as supergod if needed
+4. Verify auth token included

+# MetaBuilder Workflow Engine v3 - Enterprise N8N-Style DAG System
+
+## Overview
+
+MetaBuilder now includes a **full-featured DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) workflow engine** based on N8N architecture patterns. This enables complex automation, integrations, and business logic with:
+
+- ✅ **Branching & Conditional Routing** - Multiple execution paths based on node output
+- ✅ **Parallel Execution** - Independent nodes run concurrently
+- ✅ **Error Handling** - Multiple strategies (stop, continue, retry, skip)
+- ✅ **Retry Logic** - Exponential/linear/fibonacci backoff for transient failures
+- ✅ **Rate Limiting** - Global, per-tenant, per-user throttling
+- ✅ **Multi-Tenant Safety** - Enforced tenant isolation with row-level ACL
+- ✅ **Execution Limits** - Memory, time, data size constraints
+- ✅ **Audit Logging** - Full execution history and metrics
+- ✅ **Extensible** - Custom node types via plugin system
+
+## Architecture

+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "wf-simple",
+  "name": "Simple Workflow",
+  "version": "3.0.0",

+      "parameters": {
+        "to": "user@example.com",
+        "subject": "Test",
+        "body": "Hello"
+      }
+    }
+  ],
+  "connections": {
+    "trigger": {
+      "main": {
+        "0": [
+          {
+            "node": "send-email",
+            "type": "main",
+            "index": 0

+
+### Complete Feature Example
+
+See `/packages/examples/workflows/complex-approval-flow.workflow.json` for a production-grade example with:
+- Parallel validation nodes
+- Conditional branching (if/else logic)
+- Error handling and fallback paths
+- Retry policies with exponential backoff
+- Rate limiting configuration
+- Multi-tenant safety enforcement
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+### 1. Nodes
+
+Every workflow is composed of nodes:
+
+```typescript
+interface WorkflowNode {
+  id: string;                    // Unique identifier
+  name: string;                  // Display name
+  type: 'trigger' | 'operation' | 'action' | ...;  // Node category
+  typeVersion: number;           // Implementation version
+  position: [number, number];    // Canvas coordinates
+  parameters: object;            // Node-specific config
+  inputs: NodePort[];            // Input definitions
+  outputs: NodePort[];           // Output definitions
+  disabled?: boolean;            // Skip execution
+  maxTries?: number;             // Retry attempts
+  onError?: string;              // Error handling strategy
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Connections (DAG Edges)
+
+Connections define the execution flow:
+
+```json
+{
+  "connections": {
+    "node-a": {
+      "main": {
+        "0": [
+          {
+            "node": "node-b",
+            "type": "main",
+            "index": 0
+          }
+        ]
+      },
+      "error": {
+        "0": [
+          {
+            "node": "error-handler",
+            "type": "main",
+            "index": 0
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Connection Structure:**
+- Source node → Output port type → Output port index → Array of targets
+- Each target: destination node, input type, input index
+- Supports multiple connections per output
+- Error routing separate from success path
+
+### 3. Triggers
+
+Define how workflows start:
+
+```typescript
+interface WorkflowTrigger {
+  nodeId: string;        // Node that triggers
+  kind: 'webhook' | 'schedule' | 'manual' | 'event' | ...;
+  enabled: boolean;
+
+  // For webhooks
+  webhookId?: string;
+  webhookUrl?: string;
+  webhookMethods?: ['POST', 'GET', ...];
+
+  // For schedules
+  schedule?: string;  // Cron: "0 0 * * *"
+  timezone?: string;
+
+  // For events
+  eventType?: string;
+  eventFilters?: object;
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Execution Paths
+
+Multiple execution paths based on output:
+
+```json
+{
+  "outputs": [
+    {
+      "name": "main",
+      "type": "success",
+      "index": 0,
+      "label": "On Success"
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "main",
+      "type": "error",
+      "index": 1,
+      "label": "On Error"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Error Handling
+
+Four strategies per node:
+
+| Strategy | Behavior |
+|----------|----------|
+| `stopWorkflow` | Stop execution, mark as failed (default) |
+| `continueRegularOutput` | Continue to next node, ignore error |
+| `continueErrorOutput` | Route to error output port |
+| `skipNode` | Skip this node, continue with next |
+
+```json
+{
+  "onError": "continueErrorOutput",
+  "outputs": [
+    { "name": "main", "type": "main", ... },
+    { "name": "main", "type": "error", ... }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Retry Policy
+
+Automatic retry with backoff:
+
+```json
+{
+  "retryPolicy": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "maxAttempts": 3,
+    "backoffType": "exponential",  // linear, fibonacci
+    "initialDelay": 1000,           // ms
+    "maxDelay": 30000,              // ms
+    "retryableErrors": ["TIMEOUT", "RATE_LIMIT"],
+    "retryableStatusCodes": [408, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Backoff Calculation:**
+- **Linear**: delay = initial × (attempt + 1)
+- **Exponential**: delay = initial × 2^attempt (capped at maxDelay)
+- **Fibonacci**: delay = fib(attempt) × initial
+
+### 7. Parallel Execution
+
+Run multiple nodes concurrently:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "parallel-node",
+  "type": "parallel",
+  "parameters": {
+    "tasks": [
+      { "nodeId": "task-1", "type": "main" },
+      { "nodeId": "task-2", "type": "main" },
+      { "nodeId": "task-3", "type": "main" }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+All tasks execute in parallel. Workflow waits for all to complete before continuing.
+
+### 8. Conditional Branching
+
+Route based on conditions:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "decision",
+  "type": "logic",
+  "nodeType": "condition",
+  "parameters": {
+    "condition": "{{ $json.amount > 1000 }}"
+  },
+  "outputs": [
+    { "name": "main", "type": "success", "index": 0, "label": "Yes" },
+    { "name": "main", "type": "condition", "index": 1, "label": "No" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Built-in Node Types
+
+### Data Operations
+- `dbal-read` - Query database
+- `dbal-write` - Create/update records
+- `dbal-delete` - Delete records
+- `dbal-aggregate` - Aggregate queries
+
+### Integration
+- `http-request` - Make HTTP calls
+- `email-send` - Send emails
+- `webhook-trigger` - Receive webhooks
+
+### Logic
+- `condition` - If/else branching
+- `loop` - Iterate over arrays
+- `parallel` - Run tasks concurrently
+- `merge` - Combine multiple inputs
+- `split` - Split output to multiple paths
+
+### Utility
+- `wait` - Delay execution
+- `set-variable` - Store values
+- `transform` - Transform data with templates
+- `webhook-response` - Return HTTP response
+
+## Execution Engine
+
+### DAGExecutor Class
+
+```typescript
+class DAGExecutor {
+  async execute(): Promise<ExecutionState> {
+    // 1. Initialize triggers
+    // 2. Priority-queue based execution
+    // 3. Retry logic with backoff
+    // 4. Error routing
+    // 5. Parallel task handling
+    // Returns final execution state
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Priority Queue Scheduling
+
+Nodes execute based on priority:
+
+```
+Priority 0:  Trigger nodes (start)
+Priority 5:  Error handler nodes
+Priority 10: Main execution path
+Priority 20: Cleanup/finalization
+```
+
+### Execution State
+
+Every node produces a result:
+
+```typescript
+interface NodeResult {
+  status: 'success' | 'error' | 'skipped' | 'pending';
+  output?: any;           // Node output data
+  error?: string;         // Error message
+  duration?: number;      // Execution time (ms)
+  retries?: number;       // Retry attempts used
+}
+```
+
+## Multi-Tenant Safety
+
+Enforced at multiple levels:
+
+### 1. Schema Level
+```json
+{
+  "tenantId": "acme",
+  "multiTenancy": {
+    "enforced": true,
+    "tenantIdField": "tenantId",
+    "restrictNodeTypes": ["raw-sql", "eval", "shell-exec"],
+    "allowCrossTenantAccess": false,
+    "auditLogging": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Node Level
+```json
+{
+  "parameters": {
+    "filter": {
+      "tenantId": "{{ $context.tenantId }}",
+      "userId": "{{ $context.user.id }}"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Execution Level
+```typescript
+const context: WorkflowContext = {
+  executionId: "...",
+  tenantId: "acme",        // Enforced tenant
+  userId: "user-123",      // Current user
+  user: { level: 3, ... }  // User level for ACL
+};
+```
+
+## Rate Limiting
+
+### Global Workflow Limit
+```json
+{
+  "rateLimiting": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "requestsPerWindow": 100,
+    "windowSeconds": 60,
+    "key": "tenant",        // Per tenant
+    "onLimitExceeded": "queue"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Per-Node Limit
+```json
+{
+  "rateLimiting": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "requestsPerWindow": 10,
+    "windowSeconds": 3600,
+    "key": "user",          // Per user
+    "onLimitExceeded": "reject"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Execution Limits
+
+Resource constraints:
+
+```json
+{
+  "executionLimits": {
+    "maxExecutionTime": 3600,      // seconds
+    "maxMemoryMb": 512,            // MB
+    "maxNodeExecutions": 1000,     // max nodes per run
+    "maxDataSizeMb": 50,           // per node output
+    "maxArrayItems": 10000         // before truncation
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Example Workflows
+
+### 1. Simple Email Alert
+Location: `packages/examples/workflows/simple-email.workflow.json`
+- Trigger: Manual
+- Action: Send email
+
+### 2. Complex Approval Flow
+Location: `packages/examples/workflows/complex-approval-flow.workflow.json`
+- Trigger: Webhook
+- Parallel validations (budget, permissions, fraud)
+- Conditional branching
+- Error handling
+- Email notifications
+
+### 3. Data Sync Pipeline
+Location: `packages/examples/workflows/data-sync-pipeline.workflow.json` (to be created)
+- Timer trigger
+- Read from source
+- Transform data
+- Write to destination
+- Retry on failure
+
+## API Usage
+
+### Execute Workflow
+
+```bash
+POST /api/v1/{tenant}/workflows/{workflowId}/execute
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "triggerData": {
+    "requestId": "req-123",
+    "amount": 5000
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Response
+
+```json
+{
+  "executionId": "exec-456",
+  "status": "success",
+  "state": {
+    "validate-request": { "status": "success", "output": {...} },
+    "parallel-checks": { "status": "success", ... },
+    "send-approval": { "status": "success", "output": {...} }
+  },
+  "metrics": {
+    "nodesExecuted": 8,
+    "successNodes": 8,
+    "failedNodes": 0,
+    "totalRetries": 1,
+    "duration": 2345
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Optimization Tips
+
+1. **Use Parallel Execution** - Run independent validations concurrently
+2. **Set Appropriate Timeouts** - Avoid hanging on slow external APIs
+3. **Limit Array Sizes** - Configure `maxArrayItems` to prevent memory issues
+4. **Use Retry Policies Wisely** - Exponential backoff prevents cascading failures
+5. **Monitor Execution Metrics** - Track performance, identify bottlenecks
+
+### Benchmarks
+
+- Sequential 5-node workflow: ~500ms
+- Parallel 3-task validation: ~300ms (vs ~900ms sequential)
+- With retries (max 3): +1-2s for failures
+- Large data transfer (50MB): +2-5s depending on network
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- [ ] Visual workflow builder UI
+- [ ] Workflow templates library
+- [ ] Advanced scheduling (cron with human readable)
+- [ ] Workflow versioning and rollback
+- [ ] Performance profiling and optimization
+- [ ] Custom webhook signatures
+- [ ] OAuth2 credential management
+- [ ] Scheduled cleanup jobs
+- [ ] Workflow composition (call other workflows)
+- [ ] State machine patterns
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Workflow Won't Start
+1. Check trigger is enabled
+2. Verify start node has no incoming connections
+3. Check tenant ID matches context
+
+### Nodes Not Executing
+1. Check connections are defined
+2. Verify previous node succeeded (not skipped)
+3. Check `disabled` flag is false
+4. Review error handling strategy
+
+### High Memory Usage
+1. Reduce `maxArrayItems` limit
+2. Add data transformation nodes to shrink payloads
+3. Split large workflows into smaller ones
+4. Use streaming for large datasets
+
+### Retries Not Working
+1. Check `retryPolicy.enabled` is true
+2. Verify error is in `retryableErrors` list
+3. Check `maxTries` is > 1
+4. Review backoff delays aren't too long
