Change: Add Visual Business Orchestration

Why

The current TrueGrowth workflow concept is not usable as a real business automation surface. Users need a visual editor where they can compose image generation, video generation, digital-human production, intelligent editing, publishing, and intelligence/news summarization into repeatable automated flows.

This also needs a scheduling layer: operators should be able to run workflows such as "every day at 09:00, summarize news, generate a digital-human video, edit it, and publish it to Douyin" with execution records, logs, progress, retries, and crash recovery.

What Changes

• Rebuild the existing /workflow "流程编排" workbench module as a React Flow based visual DAG editor instead of adding a second workflow entry.
• Add draggable node types for intelligence/news input, AI image, AI video, digital human, intelligent editing, asset/material operations, publish center, conditions, transforms, webhooks/manual approval, and utility steps.
• Add a node configuration inspector with detailed provider, model, prompt, media, schedule, retry, timeout, concurrency, and output mapping settings.
• Add a lightweight TrueGrowth DAG execution engine instead of embedding a full third-party automation platform.
• Add workflow validation for cycles, missing inputs, incompatible media, unsupported publish targets, and schedule conflicts.
• Add a scheduled task center for cron-style recurring runs, one-off schedules, manual triggers, enable/disable controls, next-run preview, execution history, logs, and per-node progress.
• Connect execution to existing TrueGrowth providers, local runtime tasks, FunClip/FFmpeg/ASR sidecar, and social publishing adapters.
• Add persistence and recovery contracts so workflow definitions, schedules, runs, node events, logs, and artifacts survive refreshes and local runtime restarts.
• Add targeted unit, integration, and browser tests to prove the editor, validation, scheduling, and run tracking work end to end.

Impact

• Affected specs: business-orchestration
• Affected code:
  • apps/web/src/workbench/WorkbenchShell.tsx
  • apps/web/src/workbench/app-definitions.tsx
  • apps/web/src/workbench/workbench.scss
  • apps/web/src/workbench/truegrowth.types.ts
  • apps/web/src/workbench/local-runtime-client.ts
  • new workbench orchestration components under apps/web/src/workbench/
  • existing /workflow route implementation and WORKFLOW_PRESETS migration path
  • local runtime orchestration endpoints under scripts/truegrowth-local-api.mjs or a split runtime module
  • Electron runtime isolation under apps/electron/ when packaging requires heavy sidecar isolation
  • existing task, asset, provider, FunClip, ComfyUI/AIGCPanel, Agent-Reach, and social publishing bridge code
