Description
SUMMARY
Our workflows require us to wait for a specific trigger with specific parameters, sleeping indefinitely until that happens. There is no obvious way to do this with a Python action, and a Python action would eventually timeout anyway.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how StackStorm workflows handle Python actions and trigger-driven execution. Determine where a workflow could wait indefinitely for a trigger with specific parameters, and define the behavior and configuration needed for that feature. Done means a workflow can pause until the matching trigger arrives without relying on a timeout-prone Python action.
