Yeah, I would imagine so.

Been browsing around on that, and reading the webflow docs. It doesn't
seem as though there's anything built-in that executes a flow outside of
something webby, which is I guess what I'd expect from something called
WebFlow, with the exception of MockStuff for unit tests. Which in a sense
is kind of what this is, testing actions.

I found this interesting thing:

tion/

Which unfortunately seems to be custom code that no longer is available at
the link in the blog. But it seems like a nice idea, an explicit Console
execution environment for a webflow.

Ok, will try and find more time this week to scope it out, and we can
discuss Friday. I'm not against postponing putting code out if we get more
accomplished by the delay.
