UnverifiedThe new version's pause mechanism is essentially an explicit rewrite of the state of in-flight executions in the Worker shutdown hook, leaving identifiable traces at the data level.68% similarUnverifiedAn in-flight execution refers to an execution instance that has already been claimed by a Worker, is currently moving between nodes, and has not yet produced a final result.68% similarUnverifiedA paused workflow does not occupy a thread and can survive crashes, so the system continues to operate even when millions of workflows are in a parked state.66% similarUnverifiedThis pause mechanism covers only the Worker shutdown scenario; it is an officially documented behavior adjustment, not a generalized execution-persistence capability.61% similarVerifiedTemporal addresses fault tolerance for long-running tasks by persisting execution state, enabling recovery from the point of interruption even if the process crashes.61% similar
