### What would you like to happen? Some pipelines depend on mandatory preparation, validation, or control steps that must be performed beforehand by a workflow. Currently, even in these cases, the pipeline can be executed directly through the UI, CLI, API, or server, bypassing these required steps and potentially causing inconsistent executions. The proposal is to allow a pipeline to be configured with a required entry-point workflow. When this configuration is enabled, Apache Hop should: Allow the pipeline to run when invoked by the configured workflow. Prevent direct execution or execution by any unauthorized process. Clearly indicate which workflow must be used. Optionally provide a “Run through the configured workflow” action in the UI. The goal is not to introduce hidden orchestration or automatically execute a sub-pipeline. The workflow will remain responsible for explicit orchestration. This feature will only ensure that pipelines with prerequisites are started through the correct entry point. The configuration should be optional, preserving the current behavior for pipelines that do not have a required entry-point workflow configured. Benefits Prevents mandatory steps from being bypassed. Establishes a single, predictable entry point. Reduces errors caused by improper direct execution. Keeps orchestration explicit and visible within the workflow. Ensures consistent behavior across the UI, CLI, API, and server. ### Issue Priority Priority: 3 ### Issue Component Component: Pipelines -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
