Gate Node

Gate controls whether incoming flow is allowed to pass.

It supports dynamic operational control without deleting or redeploying workflow branches.

Configuration Fields

Field	Required	Purpose
Initial State	Yes	Initial gate state (open/closed)

Best Practices

• Use gate for maintenance mode and emergency suppression.
• Pair gate state changes with operational logs.
• Avoid silent blocking by surfacing blocked-event counters.

Common Issues

• Unexpected dropped events from closed gate state.
• Control-path miswiring for open/close signals.
