Adds the activity settings missing from the imported React Studio: commit strategy, log persistence, resilience policy, task execution mode and reusable workflow activity versions. The instance viewer now shows paged retry attempts and their details for a selected activity execution.

Settings use the existing designer store and server JSON contracts, preserve unrelated activity data, honor read-only mode, and follow Blazor tab visibility. Legacy logging modes remain readable; clearing a rule also clears its matching legacy entry so the runtime cannot restore it. Version selection updates both version fields together. Retry queries use execution IDs, the existing permissions/authentication/tenant/query scope, cancellation, paging and workflow-instance invalidation.

Validation: 122 unit tests; lint and TypeScript/production build; 25 ASP.NET host tests; 12 browser tests including actual settings and instance-viewer modules; TypeDoc, packed external consumer and module boundary checks. A repeatable development-server test creates/publishes two reusable workflow versions, creates an activity through the real designer store (normalizing the catalog's PascalCase construction fields), saves every setting through the real Core API, reloads/compares them and deletes its temporary definitions. Browser retry tests use deterministic attempt records; server retry execution is outside that fixture.

The parity checklist and test instructions are in studio/react/docs/activity-settings.md. This adds controls to the existing activity panel and viewer; it introduces no new module registration mechanism or .NET project. Stacked on #8938; part of #8859. Closes #8850 when merged.

📝 Walkthrough

The React Studio adds activity settings for commit strategy, log persistence, task, resilience, and workflow activity versions. It also adds resilience API methods and a permission-checked, paged retry history view for activity executions.

Changes: Activity settings and retry history

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resilience and strategy API contracts
studio/react/packages/api-client/src/types/*, studio/react/packages/api-client/src/endpoints/*, studio/react/packages/api-client/src/client.ts, studio/react/packages/auth/src/permissions.ts, studio/react/packages/api-client/README.md
The API client adds resilience strategy and paged retry methods with public types. Commit-strategy endpoints use CommitStrategyDescriptor.
Activity settings and version editing
studio/react/dotnet/modules/Elsa.ReactStudio.ActivityEditors/Client/*, studio/react/packages/sdk/src/designer/store.ts, studio/react/packages/ui/src/common/simple-select.tsx, studio/react/tests/activity-settings.spec.ts, studio/react/scripts/test-settings-roundtrip.mjs, studio/react/package.json, studio/react/docs/activity-settings.md, studio/react/README.md, studio/docs/specs/react-studio-preview/plan.md
The activity editor adds settings tabs and helpers for persistence configuration, custom properties, resilience, asynchronous execution, and workflow version selection. Tests, round-trip checks, and documentation cover these settings. Workflow activity construction properties are normalized to camelCase IDs.
Permission-checked retry history
studio/react/dotnet/modules/Elsa.ReactStudio.WorkflowInstances/Client/components/*, studio/react/tests/activity-settings.spec.ts
The activity details pane conditionally displays retries when permission and resilience conditions are met. The panel loads paged attempts for a selected execution and displays attempt details and pagination controls.

Explanation

The description explains the purpose, implementation, verification coverage, documentation, and issue context. It does not use every template heading or include the checklist and screenshots section, but it provides sufficient review information for this UI-focused feature.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#8850] requires five activity settings, server round-trip behavior, a Retries tab, and a Blazor parity checklist. The change adds Commit Strategy, Log Persistence, Task, Resilience, and Version tabs. The settings guide documents the parity checklist. The reported unit, browser, host, and real-server tests cover persistence, version references, read-only behavior, and retry paging and details. No coding requirement remains unmet in the reviewed evidence.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue [#8850]. API-client resilience methods, permission identifiers, SDK normalization, UI support, tests, and documentation directly support the requested settings and retry history. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

@greptileai @coderabbitai Please review this activity-settings and retry-history change. Local verification includes 120 unit tests, 25 ASP.NET host tests, all 11 production-host browser cases, generated API docs, a packed external consumer, module boundary checks, and a real Core API save/reload test using a toolbox-created reusable workflow activity. This PR is stacked on #8938.

@sfmskywalker I’ll review the activity settings and retry history changes, accounting for the stack on #8938. I’ll focus on data preservation, read-only behavior, legacy logging compatibility, version selection, and retry query scoping and cancellation. I’ll treat the reported test results as validation context, not independently verified results.

- Line 31: Separate read-only state from catalog-loading/error state in the

and expression controls disabled only by readOnly; apply the combined
catalogDisabled state only to the catalog-backed strategy SimpleSelect controls.

- Around line 43-47: Update the round-trip script’s try/finally flow to preserve
the primary error: capture and rethrow errors from the try block, then report
cleanup failures separately when a primary error exists; only throw the cleanup
AggregateError when no primary error occurred. Keep the existing cleanup
ordering and deletion behavior unchanged.

@greptileai Please review the current head. Strategy catalog failures now leave local clear/Inherit/Default and expression actions available while honoring read-only state; current values remain selectable. Added a 503-catalog browser regression. The server-check CLI preserves its original failure when cleanup also fails, with two real-CLI HTTP-fixture regressions. Local checks: 122 unit tests, lint/types/build, all 12 browser cases, and actual Core save/reload/cleanup pass.

User-authorized self-review for #8859.

APPROVE + HIGH @ e362c46

Reviewed commit strategy, log persistence, resilience, task and version settings plus instance retry history. The implementation retains existing activity metadata and documents the server round-trip and parity evidence.

The final adaptation source passes 227 unit, 28 hosting and 49 browser tests, lint/types, module-boundary and localization checks, and builds for net8/net9/net10. The final six findings and subsequent expression-alias/index and cached-culture findings were fixed with regression coverage before this merge.

At merge time, current-head CI is green, Greptile is 5/5 on this exact head, and the exhaustive stack thread audit records zero unresolved findings. This is an author self-review under the task owner's explicit standing self-review/self-merge authority, not an independent approval. Use the standard head-matched merge into main without changing protection or using an admin bypass.
