Pull request overview
This PR enables host-configurable retry behavior per step through ExecutionOptions.RetryProfiles. Steps reference retry profiles via declarative string keys, which are resolved at execution time to determine retry parameters (MaxAttempts, InitialDelayMilliseconds, BackoffFactor, MaxDelayMilliseconds, JitterRatio).
Changes:
- Added
-ExecutionOptionsparameter toInvoke-IdlePlanandInvoke-IdlePlanObjectfor host-owned retry configuration - Extended step schema with optional
RetryProfileproperty (string key) in workflow definitions - Implemented validation (
Assert-IdleExecutionOptions) and resolution (Resolve-IdleStepRetryParameters) logic with fail-fast on unknown profiles - Applied retry profiles to both regular steps and OnFailureSteps independently
- Added comprehensive integration tests (9 test cases) and example workflow demonstrating the feature

The RetryProfile validation logic is duplicated for both Steps and OnFailureSteps. The same validation block appears twice (lines 94-103 for Steps, lines 153-162 for OnFailureSteps). Consider extracting this validation into a helper function to reduce code duplication and improve maintainability.

Fixed in 419f375. Extracted RetryProfile validation logic to a new helper function Test-IdleWorkflowStepRetryProfile that is called for both Steps and OnFailureSteps, eliminating the code duplication.

1. Fix MaxAttempts=0 support: Allow 0 in Invoke-IdleWithRetry (no retry, run once) 2. Fix MaxDelayMilliseconds validation: Check against engine default InitialDelayMilliseconds (250ms) 3. Extract RetryProfile validation to helper function in Test-IdleWorkflowSchema 4. Add test for MaxAttempts=0 behavior 5. Add test for MaxDelayMilliseconds validation with engine defaults 6.

The cmdlet reference was already manually updated in commit 419f375 to include the ExecutionOptions parameter with examples. The generation tool requires platyPS from PSGallery, which is not accessible in this environment. The manual update matches what would be generated and includes:

Summary
Enables host-configurable retry behavior per step through
ExecutionOptions.RetryProfiles. Steps reference profiles via declarative string key; engine resolves parameters at execution time. SupportsMaxAttempts = 0for "no retry" scenarios.Motivation
Different target systems have distinct throttling and transient failure characteristics (Graph API vs Exchange Online vs on-prem AD). Fixed engine-wide retry parameters cannot accommodate these differences, leading to either insufficient retries (premature failures) or excessive delays (slow convergence).
