Description

It seems that if Lightning rejects an event like step:complete, the worker doesn't do anything with it.

We need to add some logic here.

What should we do?

  • if we continue to send other events, lightning will just reject them
  • so maybe better to send an error event and just abort the run - mark it with Exception

Research direction

Start by tracing the worker path that handles rejected Lightning events, using step:complete as the reproduction case. Read the existing run error handling around marking a run with Exception, and check any worker tests covering event delivery or failures. Done means the rejection has defined behavior, including whether later events stop and how the run is reported.
