Output

Returns record<string, unknown>. When wait is true, the invoked workflow’s declared output fields are flattened to the top level alongside a files array, reference them as {{ steps.<invoke>.output.<field> }} (there is no .data or .result wrapper). When wait is false, execution metadata. Call get_workflow_output_schema to see the exact resolved fields.
