Condition steps now support else_steps, allowing you to define a clear alternative path when a condition evaluates to false. This makes complex automations easier to express and maintain without extra workaround steps.

Details:

- First-class true/false branching directly in workflows
- Backward compatible; no changes required to existing flows

Who this is for: Teams orchestrating complex, decision-heavy workflows that need clearer control flow and easier maintenance.
