Conditional branches often wrap fragile work like external calls or tool execution, and until now a failure inside one would propagate unhandled and halt the run. The `Condition` workflow step now takes an `on_error` parameter that gives you explicit control over what happens when a sub-step fails, so a workflow can recover or continue instead of failing outright.
