Best Practices for Nodes in Workflows

Here are some best practices related to creating nodes for workflows, to be used in agentic apps:

• Start by deciding which app stages your workflow should handle.
• Branch early on OraMessageHint so each stage stays simple.
• For InitDisplay, return display output and optionally include actions or oraComms when that improves the startup experience. For InitCommunications, return oraComms. For InitActions, return actions.
• Use OraAppContext and OraUserContext whenever the app experience depends on who the user is or what object the app is currently showing.
• If a node needs the current question or a derived prompt, pass it explicitly instead of assuming a downstream node will reconstruct it for you.
• Test the exact stage you're writing before including that workflow into the app.
