restart() only a specific step
Just to be sure — there is no way to restart() only a specific step in a workflow, right?
I'm asking because I'm thinking about idempotency. For example, in the official example for sending an invoice after payment creation (https://developers.cloudflare.com/workflows/examples/send-invoices/)
If the email step fails, the entire workflow ends up in an errored state. If I still want to deliver that email, it seems like there’s no option to retry just that failed step.
Within a standard Queue, this would normally end up in a DLQ, and I could re-post all failed email events later.
Is there any equivalent approach in Workflows? I’m trying to understand the right mental model for handling retries or partial failures. Thanks
