Retry Prompt (v1)

Presents the user with a retry or abandon choice after a verification step is cancelled​

RETRY_PROMPT:v1 is a lightweight interstitial step that pauses the flow after a cancelled verification session and asks the user whether to retry the previous step or abandon the session. It has no configuration options and produces no data blocks — its only output is the user's decision, expressed as a route.

Pair it with a verification step (such as SPHINX:v3). The verification step routes cancelled sessions to RETRY_PROMPT:v1 via its cancelled port; the retry prompt routes the user's decision back to the verification step (rollback) or forward to a rejection end node.

Configuration​

This step has no configuration options.

Example wiring​

[
  { "id": "SPHINX", "type": "SPHINX:v3",
    "options": { "config": { ... } },
    "next": [
      { "port": "verified",       "id": "END_ACCEPTED" },
      { "port": "fraud_detected", "id": "END_REJECTED" },
      { "port": "cancelled",      "id": "RETRY_PROMPT" }
    ]
  },
  { "id": "RETRY_PROMPT", "type": "RETRY_PROMPT:v1", "options": {},
    "next": [
      { "port": "retry", "id": "SPHINX", "type": "rollback", "rollback": { "maxAttempts": 3 } }
    ]
  },
  { "id": "END_ACCEPTED", "type": "END", "options": { "outcome": "accepted" }, "next": [] },
  { "id": "END_REJECTED", "type": "END", "options": { "outcome": "rejected" }, "next": [] }
]

Input data blocks​

None.

Routes​

RouteDescription
retryUser chose to retry. Must be a rollback transition pointing back to the upstream verification step.

When the user chooses to abandon, the session terminates immediately. No additional route is required — the workflow aborts automatically, with no abandon port needed. The retry route must be declared with "type": "rollback". Use rollback.maxAttempts to cap how many times the user may retry before the flow aborts.

Notes​

  • RETRY_PROMPT:v1 produces no data blocks and does not modify flow state beyond recording the user's decision.
  • The Player presents the retry/abandon UI for this step type.
