Description

I see a bunch of these in the logs. Is this normal?

Step "step//app/workflows/ad-set/steps/ads.ts//updateAd" with correlation ID "step_01KC9SQXX8B9101F636EG4QMB8" already exists, skipping: Workflow step with ID step_01KC9SQXX8B9101F636EG4QMB8 already exists for run wrun_01KC9SQX7JJT49768M39Y495QJ

Also, I get way too much Timeout errors for POST /.well-known/workflow/v1/step

Research direction

Start by examining the POST /.well-known/workflow/v1/step endpoint and the logged duplicate-step warning alongside the Vercel Runtime Timeout Error. Determine whether repeated existing-step warnings are expected and what causes the 600-second timeouts; done means the behavior and remediation are established for both symptoms.
