The happy path configuration of the identity workflow. The ores-shell block below is tangled into the runnable script library as identity_happy_path.ores.

1. Question

How do I run a workflow whose every step succeeds?

2. Answer

Both steps report completion, so the instance settles at completed and workflow wait says every step completed. 

workflow start identity_workflow '{"steps":[{"name":"one"},{"name":"two"}]}' --instance-id 10000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000001
workflow wait 10000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000001 --timeout 60 --expect-state completed

workflow wait fails unless the instance reaches the state named, so this script fails when the path it covers does nothing.
