  4. Web UI for inspection, monitoring, and debugging at /_workflow

  5. Workflow routes bundled as part of app build with tree-shaking for unused code

  6. Faster builds and smaller bundle sizes as result of native integration

  7. Workflow SDK now runs natively in Nitro v3 (beta)

  8. Steps execute in same bundled runtime as app (no separate bundle)

  9. Native support for Nitro APIs like useStorage() inside workflow functions

  10. Dev server serves workflow web UI at /_workflow for monitoring and debugging

  11. Workflow routes bundled as part of app build with dependency tracing

  12. Tree-shaking removes unused code, reducing bundle size and build times
