loop

Sequential workflow execution processes beads one at a time to guarantee dependency order and determinism. This simple execution model reduces race conditions by ensuring each step completes before the next begins.

For small dependency graphs under eight beads, sequential execution provides the best balance of simplicity and reliability. It processes linear or small DAGs predictably, making debugging straightforward compared to parallel approaches.

Yes, sequential execution tracks bead states and enforces completion verification through a Standard Recovery Procedure. It ensures exit criteria are met for each bead before proceeding to the next dependency in the workflow.

Choose sequential execution over parallel processing when your workflow has tight dependencies or under eight beads. It minimizes complexity and race conditions, making it ideal for teams that prioritize determinism and straightforward debugging.

Sequential bead execution reduces race conditions by processing one bead at a time in strict dependency order. This eliminates concurrent execution conflicts, ensuring each step runs only after its dependencies fully complete.

Sequential execution works effectively with linear dependency chains and small DAGs containing under eight beads. It applies strict ordering and completion verification, making it suitable for plans where simplicity outweighs parallelism.
