+- **Step-by-Step Visibility**: See each browser action as it's recorded
+- **Status Updates**: Track workflow processing phases in real-time
+- **Cloud Integration Ready**: Store progress in database for live UI updates
+- **Debug Friendly**: Know exactly where workflow generation fails
+- **Zero Overhead**: Optional callbacks, fully backward compatible
