Description
Container nodes wrap a child workflow that has its own internal flow. To preserve encapsulation, no child node inside a container should connect directly to anything outside the parent container - instead, the container itself exposes entry and exit points that act as the only connection surface between the container's internals and the rest of the graph.
Motivation
- Visual clarity - users can tell at a glance where flow enters and leaves a container without tracing edges through nested children.
- Encapsulation - prevents "leaky" edges that bypass the container's semantics (e.g. a child of a try connecting directly to a node after the try, which would misrepresent the DSL).
- Correct DSL mapping - the Serverless Workflow DSL treats containers as single units of control flow; entry/exit indicators make this explicit in the diagram and keep the visual model aligned with the underlying YAML.
