The Studio provides a visual interface for the Control Plane.

  1. Automation Wizard (/studio/wizard/):
    • Purpose: Authoring workflows visually.
    • Key Features: Drag-and-drop canvas, AI Copilot, Component Palette.
  2. Rule Tester (/studio/tester/):
    • Purpose: "Unit testing" logic. Used to verify JSON rules against sample events.
    • Output: An "Explain Tree" showing exactly which predicate matched or failed.
  3. Execution Explorer (/studio/explorer/):
    • Purpose: Operational visibility.
    • Features: Timeline view of steps, input/output inspection (redacted).
  4. Governance:
    • Stored Secrets: Manage encrypted secrets (if DB backend used).
    • Audit Log: Immutable history of all changes.
