2. **`agent`** — an LLM step. **`config.input_context` carries the DATA;
`config.prompt` stays a PLAIN instruction — never a `=` expression.**
The agent has no automatic access to the upstream item; `input_context` is
its one data-input channel, an explicit `=`-binding you set alongside the
prompt:
- `"input_context": "=item"` — the direct predecessor's output (the common
case).
- `"input_context": "=items"` — every input item, for a fan-in/merge node
feeding the agent.
- `"input_context": "=nodes.<id>.item.json"` — a SPECIFIC upstream node by
id, not just the direct predecessor.
`config.prompt` is then just the instruction — "Classify the email as
urgent, normal, or low priority." — with **no leading `=` and no `.item`
woven into the sentence**. **Never embed `.item`/`nodes.<id>` in prose
inside `prompt`** — a jq `=`-expression built out of natural-language text
(e.g. `"=You are given an email: .item. Classify it..."`) is not a valid
jq program, silently resolves to `null`, and hands the agent an EMPTY
prompt. This is enforced: a `prompt` that reads as prose written as a
`=`-expression is REJECTED at `propose_workflow`/`save_workflow` (the
binding-resolvability gate) and flagged by `dry_run_workflow` as an
`agent_prompt_nulls` entry — fix it by moving the data into
`input_context` and rewriting `prompt` as plain text.
(A jq expression built from real jq syntax — e.g.
`"prompt": "=\"Reply to \" + .item.name"` — still works as a legacy/
advanced escape hatch and is not rejected; but prefer `input_context` +
plain prompt for anything a person would read as a sentence.)
