on_failure now accepts a third policy, succeed, alongside route and
exit. A failed node with an effective succeed policy and no explicit
recovery route finishes as succeeded and follows normal success routing.
The original failure details stay on the stage.completed event and in the
checkpoint, and the outcome’s notes record the promotion.
Set it on a node to mark a best-effort step inside a strict graph, or on the
graph to apply it everywhere:
condition="outcome=failed" edge still takes priority over the
promotion. A promoted outcome satisfies goal gates, and a failed parallel
branch with a succeed policy counts as succeeded in its parent’s result.
auto_status=true is now a deprecated alias for on_failure="succeed".
Existing workflows keep working, and validation reports a new
auto_status_deprecated warning with the replacement. The alias no longer
promotes partially_succeeded outcomes; only failed outcomes are affected.
