# Events

All events are final readonly, dispatched after commit and never broadcast. Instance, step and escalation events carry the instance as $actor and the Actor DTO as $runAs:

| Event | Payload |
| --- | --- |
| `InstanceStarted` | instance |
| `StepStarted` | instance, stepRun |
| `StepCompleted` | instance, stepRun, outcome |
| `StepFailed` | instance, stepRun, code, willRetry |
| `InstanceWaiting` | instance, stepRun, waits |
| `InstanceResumed` | instance, stepRun, signal (SignalKind) |
| `InstanceCompleted` | instance |
| `InstanceFailed` | instance, code, message, node |
| `InstanceCancelled` | instance, reason |
| `InstanceRetried` | instance, stepRun |
| `EscalationTriggered` | instance, stepRun, level, actions |
| `EscalationFailed` | instance, stepRun, level, code |
| `VersionPublished` | definition, version, publisher |
| `DraftSaved` | definition, version |
| `DefinitionRetired` | definition |

```php
use RoundlyConsulting\Workflows\Events\InstanceFailed;

Event::listen(InstanceFailed::class, function (InstanceFailed $event): void {
    Log::warning('Workflow failed', [
        'instance' => $event->instance->ulid,
        'code' => $event->code,          // a FailureCode value or a host step's code
        'node' => $event->node,
    ]);
});
```
