Key Algorithms

Dependency Resolution:

// Topological sort with parallel execution optimization
const plan = this.resolveDependencies(steps);
// Result: [[step1], [step2, step3], [step4]] - batches for execution

State Management:

// Checkpoint-based recovery system
await this.createCheckpoint(state, 'step_completed');
const recovered = await this.recoverFromCheckpoint(executionId);

Resource Management:

// Intelligent resource allocation
const reservation = await this.reserveResources(step);
await this.executeWithResourceTracking(step, reservation);
