Python: [Python] DevUI HIL not working as expected

[0x7c13]

Based on PR: #1737

HIL should work in the spam workflow but it does not. After submitting the response, the workflow runs from start instead of resuming from spam_detector executor. Same for my own workflow. It looks like workflow does not resume from checkpoint but instead starts a new run after response was submitted. In the PR, I noted that this checkpointing behavior should be handled by DevUI automatically for supporting HIL flow or maybe I miss something? @victordibia

Tested on release 251111 [Python].

Thanks for the issue.
Taking a look. Expected behaviour is that workflow resumes and not a fresh run.

Thanks again. Seems there was a regression introduced in #2021 around stringified JSON from HIL input.
Fixed in #2167 . The correct/expected behaviour is shown below

Thanks for quick fix! Cheers! @victordibia

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but is there a plan for improving the text rendering within each JSON field if it is encoded? @victordibia

Or let's just saying that the request context is just a [str] vs a [Dataclass], can DevUI support proper markdown/xml rendering? Looks like even if I use [str] as request type, the UI in above screen clip still does not properly render line endings (\r\n etc) resulting a mess text feeding to human.

@0x7c13 ,
Thanks good feedback.
I can look in to context rendering improvements in the HIL modal.
Will create some test cases and show before/afters here
