Element 07·Foundation·State engine
Workflows you edit, not workflows you escape.
Orders, waves, returns, inbound receipts, onboarding, performance reviews — every long-lived process is a flow on the same engine. States, transitions, guards, side effects. Edit a step in the UI, version it, replay history. When your floor changes, the software changes with it.

01/What's inside
Three things Advanced State Engine actually does.
Editable flows for orders, waves, returns, onboarding — versioned, replayable.
- 01
Every flow is a graph
States, transitions, guards (who can advance), side effects (what happens when you do). The same engine runs an order, a wave, a return, an onboarding — drawn the same way, edited the same way.
- 02
Edit in the UI, versioned automatically
Add a step to your returns flow. Add a guard so only managers can refund over $500. Change the side effect to ping #ops in Slack instead of email. Every change is versioned and signed by the editor.
- 03
Replay, audit, fork
Replay any flow run to see exactly what happened. Fork a flow to test a change without disrupting live runs. Audit every transition: who, when, why. Sebastien can propose new flows from a description.
02/In practice
A returns flow, drawn the way you edit it.
Received, inspected, a disposition with three outcomes, and a reject lane. Every transition names its trigger — a scan, a decision, a timer — and any of them can carry a guard. Change a step in the interface and the engine versions it for you.
03/Bonds
What Advanced State Engine already knows.
Every element writes to the same database. Advanced State Engine shares its records with Commerce, Integrations + API and Fulfillment, so reports, flows and Sebastien see across all of them — no syncs, no exports, no duplicates.
