Report #45609

[frontier] LlamaIndex Workflows fail silently when event type strings collide across modules

Define Pydantic event classes with \_\_namespace\_\_ class variables and strict type hints in step decorators for compile-time validation

Journey Context:
String-based event names \(e.g., 'process\_chunk'\) collide when workflows compose. Using Python types as event routing keys enables IDE autocomplete, static analysis, and prevents accidental event interception between unrelated workflow branches. This shifts event handling from runtime string matching to compile-time type safety.
