-==== QStateMachineStep
-
-Processes that use `flow = STATE_MACHINE` should use process steps of type `QStateMachineStep`.
-
-A common pattern seen in state-machine processes, is that they will present a frontend-step to a user,
-then always run a given backend-step in response to that screen which the user submitted.
-Inside that backend-step, custom application logic will determine the next state to go to,
-which is typically another frontend-step (which would then submit data to its corresponding backend-step,
-and continue the FSM).
-
-To help facilitate this pattern, factory methods exist on `QStateMachineStep`,
-for constructing the commonly-expected types of state-machine steps:
-
-* `frontendThenBackend(name, frontendStep, backendStep)` - for the frontend-then-backend pattern described above.
-* `backendOnly(name, backendStep)` - for a state that only has a backend step.
-This might be useful as a “reset” step, to run before restarting a state-loop.

-which would always be followed by another state, which must be specified as the `defaultNextStepName`

-[#_process_back]
-==== How to allow a process to go back
-
-The simplest option to allow a process to present a "Back" button to users,
-thus allowing them to move backward through a process
-(e.g., from a review screen back to an earlier input screen), is to set the property `backStepName`
-on a `QFrontendStepMetaData`.
-
-If the step that is executed after the user hits "Back" is a backend step, then within that
-step, `runBackendStepInput.getIsStepBack()` will return `true` (but ONLY within that first step after
-the user hits "Back").  It may be necessary within individual processes to be aware that the user
-has chosen to go back, to reset certain values in the process's state.
-
-Alternatively, if a frontend step's "Back" behavior needs to be dynamic (e.g., sometimes not available,
-or sometimes targeting different steps in the process), then in a backend step that runs before the
-frontend step, a call to `runBackendStepOutput.getProcessState().setBackStepName()` can be made,
-to customize the value which would otherwise come from the `QFrontendStepMetaData`.
