+"""Sub 14 — Configurable workflow status bar.
+
+Each job carries a workflow_state_id that auto-advances along a
+shop-configurable sequence of milestones (Draft → Confirmed → Received
+→ In Progress → Inspected → Shipped → Done — by default).
+
+Recipe authors tag specific recipe steps as "this step's completion
+triggers workflow state X" via process_node.triggers_workflow_state_id.
+The default mapping is by step.default_kind (so out-of-the-box recipes
+just work), with per-recipe override on each operation node.
+
+Why this lives in fusion_plating_jobs (not core):
+  * It depends on fp.job.step which is implemented here
+  * Recipe-side trigger fields are added via _inherit on
+    fusion.plating.process.node (also here, in fp_job.py)
+
+The catalog seed lives in data/fp_workflow_state_data.xml and ships
+the 7 default milestones. Settings UI lets shops add more.
