Using a custom step context inside workflows
Just like there's a guide for creating a custom
ctx inside Convex functions, I was wondering if there's something similar for workflows, where we can potentially pass authenticated user context from the function that starts the workflow into the workflow step3 Replies

Thank you!
related to workflows, is there a way to set a timeout after which to cancel the workflow?
oh and another one: is there a way to reactively subscribe to the status of a workflow?
1. For now I would have the first line of the function be
const myStep = wrapStep(step);
2. You can schedule a function for the future to check the status & cancel the workflow if it's still running
3. Yes all queries on workflow status are reactive. The status will likely get richer soon as I add pause/resume, etc.
