Description

Currently, there is no way to rollback steps that have been failed after retries. Drawing reference from Cloudflare's workflow implementation (https://blog.cloudflare.com/rollbacks-for-workflows/), it would be great to add a compensating action per step. This will allow users to indicate relevant steps to in the event of failure.

Research direction

Begin with the issue description and the linked Cloudflare workflow rollback reference; no repository files, tests, or entry points are identified in the payload. Clarify the compensating-action API, failure and retry behavior, and how completion will be verified. Done means users can associate a compensating action with a step and invoke it when that step ultimately fails.
