Workflow Infinite Loop Detection and Auto-Termination Enhancements

Workflows have built-in loop limits and cannot run indefinitely within a single workflow. (https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nwc/Content/Overview/Limits.htm.)

We would like to raise a feature request to enhance visibility and control in these situations.

Specifically, it would be beneficial to have an out-of-the-box capability to automatically notify users (for example, via email or alert) when a workflow appears to be entering a potential infinite loop. This would allow users to proactively identify and correct design issues before they escalate.

Additionally, having an option to automatically stop or suspend a workflow when it is detected to be continuously looping or triggering excessively would be valuable. This type of safeguard could help reduce unnecessary system load and prevent unintended workflow executions.

    an "are you sure?" prompt would also be beneficial when publishing a workflow with 0 conditions on the start trigger.
