Workflow steps now expose retry attempt number via step context

Cloudflare Workflows now exposes the current retry attempt number through the step context (ctx.attempt), enabling improved logging, observability, progressive backoff, and conditional logic in workflow definitions. The attempt number is 1-indexed, with 1 representing the first try and incrementing with each retry.

Cloudflare Workflows allows you to configure specific retry logic for each step in your workflow execution. Now, you can access which retry attempt is currently executing for calls to step.do():

await step.do("my-step", async (ctx) => {
	// ctx.attempt is 1 on first try, 2 on first retry, etc.
	console.log(`Attempt ${ctx.attempt}`);
});

You can use the step context for improved logging & observability, progressive backoff, or conditional logic in your workflow definition.

Note that the current attempt number is 1-indexed. For more information on retry behavior, refer to Sleeping and Retrying.
