Close the Tab: Build Jobs That Keep Running (Work Shop)
summary
Deploys a demo stock research agent that first ties work to the HTTP request so closing the tab loses progress, then replaces that with Render Workflows so each step gets an ID, runs as independent tasks (parallel and sequential), persists state, and supports retries and recovery; shows the web service, a workflow service, the required API key and slugs, and live demos where closing and reopening the page resumes the run instead of restarting, proving the approach works.
