Build, publish, run, and observe workflows on the nullplatform workflow engine.

Four ideas organize this API:

- **Definitions** are the workflow documents. Every save becomes a numbered **revision**, so nothing is ever lost.
- **Aliases** are named pointers to a revision (like `live`). Activating an alias is what turns its triggers on.
- **Executions** record every run, step by step, with inputs, outputs, and logs.
- **Secrets and variables** keep credentials and settings out of the definition.
