A project note on JovaniPink/xstate-python: loading XState and Stately JSON in Python, executing with SCXML-style semantics, binding live Python handlers, and using actors without hiding workflow state in async glue.

Outcome: Reader understands what xstate-python is trying to make possible, where it fits against other Python state-machine libraries, and why SCXML run-to-completion semantics, actors, clocks, and context snapshots matter for production workflows.

Why a React form with seven boolean flags shipped a flicker bug that statecharts would have surfaced before the first render, and the decision rule that says when this discipline earns its place.

Outcome: Reader can decide when a workflow is state-machine-shaped, replace boolean-flag explosion with a small statechart that names guards and transitions, and recognize statecharts as an architectural discipline rather than a UI utility.
