- This is the ONLY time we can modify collection configs before PayloadCMS finalizes them
- Directly push hooks into config.collections[].hooks.afterChange arrays
- This happens BEFORE PayloadCMS processes and freezes the configurations
- If this doesn't work, the plugin architecture is fundamentally incompatible
This is the last possible approach - modifying the actual collection config objects before they're processed by PayloadCMS.
- Completely abandon config-phase hook registration approach
- Use onInit to directly manipulate runtime collection.config.hooks arrays
- Add ultra-simple test hook that just logs
- Insert hook at beginning of array (unshift) to ensure it runs first
- Bypass TypeScript complexity with targeted any usage for hooks object
- This tests if ANY hook registration approach works
Previous approaches failed because user collections don't exist during plugin config phase.
- Hooks were being registered too late (in onInit) - PayloadCMS doesn't honor hooks registered after initialization
- Move hook registration to config phase using applyHooksToCollections()
- Use global executor registry to make WorkflowExecutor available to config-phase hooks
- Add aggressive debugging to trace hook execution
- This should resolve the core issue where hooks were registered but never called

- Add console.log statements that will ALWAYS appear if hooks are called
- Trace WorkflowExecutor creation and method availability
- Log every step of hook execution pipeline
- This will help identify exactly where the execution is failing

- Remove problematic hooksInitialized flag that prevented proper hook registration in development mode
- Add comprehensive error logging with "AUTOMATION PLUGIN:" prefix for easier debugging
- Add try/catch blocks in hook execution to prevent silent failures
- Ensure hooks register properly on every PayloadCMS initialization
This fixes the issue where workflows would not execute even when properly configured.

- Updated Workflow collection trigger field from 'collection' to 'collectionSlug'
- Updated all document operation steps (create, read, update, delete) to use 'collectionSlug'
- Updated corresponding handlers to destructure 'collectionSlug' instead of 'collection'
- Removed debug console.log statements from logger configLogger methods
- Fixed collection hook debug logs to use 'slug' instead of reserved 'collection' field
