Highlights
Strengthen the workflow engine
This release improves the workflow engine's data flow. When resuming workflows, we now compile workflow data (i.e. input and outputs of previous steps) from Redis and Postgres to ensure the most recent workflow execution and associated data are used.
Improve payment account holder flows
This release improves how payment account holders are managed when creating payment sessions in the createPaymentSessionWorkflow. In this workflow, we create a new payment account holder for the customer on the cart if it doesn't already exist. When the workflow fails in a later step, the compensation flow is triggered, and we now ensure we are only deleting the account holder if it was created as part of the invoke, i.e. it didn't exist before running the workflow.
