//! # Pattern: Conditional Execution with Data Validation
//!
//! This example demonstrates how to implement conditional logic in DAGs by using
//! simple data transformations rather than traditional Result types.
//!
//! ## What You'll Learn
//! - How to implement validation logic in parallel tasks
//! - How to use return values for conditional behavior (e.g., 0 for invalid)
//! - How to categorize and branch based on computed values
//! - How to aggregate results from multiple conditional branches
//!
//! ## Workflow Diagram
//! ```text
//! VALIDATE CATEGORIZE SUMMARIZE
//! ┌─────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐
//! │ Validate(10)│────20──►│Categorize(25)│────"low"────┐
//! └─────────────┘ └──────────────┘ │
//! │
//! ┌─────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ │
//! │ Validate(-5)│────0───►│Categorize(25)│──"invalid"──┼──►┌────────────┐
//! └─────────────┘ └──────────────┘ │ │ Summarize │
//! │ └────────────┘
//! ┌─────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ │
//! │ Validate(20)│────40──►│Categorize(25)│────"high"───┘
//! └─────────────┘ └──────────────┘
//! ```
//!
//! ## Key Concepts
//! - **Validation as transformation**: Invalid inputs become sentinel values (0)
//! - **Parallel validation**: All inputs validated simultaneously
//! - **Data-driven branching**: Categorization based on computed values
//! - **Type-safe aggregation**: All branches produce the same type (String)
//!
//! ## Use Cases
//! - Input validation pipelines
//! - Multi-stage data cleaning
//! - Classification and categorization workflows
//! - Quality control systems
//! - Data preprocessing for ML pipelines
//!
//! ## Running This Example
//! ```bash
//! cargo run --example conditional_workflow
//! ```
//!
//! ## Expected Output
//! ```text
//! Processing and categorizing inputs in parallel...
//!
//! Valid input 10: doubling to 20
//! Invalid input -5: returning 0
//! Valid input 20: doubling to 40
//!
//! Final summary: Categories: [low, invalid, high]
//! Expected: Categories: [low, invalid, high]
//! ```
