CF-Incidents Workflows, Workers - Workflow steps now expose retry attempt number via step context

[ENF News Bot]

Cloudflare Workflows allows you to configure specific retry logic for each step in your workflow execution. Now, you can access which retry attempt is currently executing for calls to step.do():

await step.do("my-step", async (ctx) => {
	// ctx.attempt is 1 on first try, 2 on first retry, etc.
	console.log(`Attempt ${ctx.attempt}`);
