## Follow Workflow Constraints
DBOS workflows and steps have specific constraints that must be followed for correct operation.
**Incorrect (calling start_workflow from step):**
```python
@DBOS.step()
def my_step():
# Never start workflows from inside a step!
DBOS.start_workflow(another_workflow)
```
**Incorrect (modifying global state):**
```python
results = [] # Global variable
@DBOS.workflow()
def my_workflow():
# Don't modify globals from workflows!
results.append("done")
```
**Incorrect (using recv outside workflow):**
```python
@DBOS.step()
def my_step():
# recv can only be called from workflows!
msg = DBOS.recv("topic")
```
**Correct (following constraints):**
```python
@DBOS.workflow()
def parent_workflow():
result = my_step()
# Start child workflow from workflow, not step
handle = DBOS.start_workflow(child_workflow, result)
# Use recv from workflow
msg = DBOS.recv("topic")
return handle.get_result()
@DBOS.step()
def my_step():
# Steps just do their work and return
return process_data()
@DBOS.workflow()
def child_workflow(data):
return transform(data)
```
Key constraints:
- Do NOT call `DBOS.start_workflow` from a step
- Do NOT call `DBOS.recv` from a step
- Do NOT call `DBOS.set_event` from outside a workflow
- Do NOT modify global variables from workflows or steps
- Do NOT use threads to start workflows
