Workflow Inheritance

A platform has multiple workflow variants that share 80% of their logic. The base order workflow handles standard orders; the express variant adds a priority flag and skips the approval step; the international variant adds customs clearance. Inheritance lets variants reuse the base definition and override only what differs.
