Description

Using the Postgres world I'm getting a schema error when triggering a workflow. I've already generated the schema with npm exec workflow-postgres-setup.

[embedded world] Failed to queue message {
  queueName: '__wkf_workflow_workflow//src/workflows/<REDACTED>//handleRequestProject',
  text: '"PostgresError: column \\"retry_after\\" of relation \\"workflow_steps\\" does not exist"'

Research direction

Start by inspecting the schema produced by npm exec workflow-postgres-setup, then compare it with the failing workflow_steps relation and its missing retry_after column. Done means the generated Postgres schema matches the workflow's expected columns and triggering a workflow no longer produces this error.
