Here is my feedback for each: - *Workflow history and run comparison:* A panel for exploring saved workflow versions and comparing executions. https://github.com/apache/texera/pull/8525 - feedback: The same feature is already in the main.
*Canvas selection and reusable workflow sections:* Select groups of operators and save sections for reuse in other workflows. https://github.com/apache/texera/pull/8527 - feedback: Similar to macro. We should finish macro instead of the partial feature. *Semantic operator search:* Find operators by describing what you want to do, alongside the existing name search. https://github.com/apache/texera/pull/8628 - feedback: overkill to introduce another ML model just to search operators. AI agent or fuzzy on operator description can provide similar or better results. *AI workflow fixer:* Suggest changes for supported workflow errors, with a diff for users to review before applying. https://github.com/apache/texera/pull/8637 - feedback: Should reuse agent service instead of introducing new services. General feedback: Each new feature should aim to reuse existing components and services rather than introducing an entirely new end-to-end stack.
