 ### Workflow Architecture
-- **Shared Logic**: Common test steps defined in `shared-cross-platform-test.yml`
-- **DRY principle**: No code duplication between manual and automated workflows
-- **Flexible**: Supports both wheel and PyPI installation methods through single workflow
+
+```
+Manual Entry Point:
+└── cross-platform-test-manual.yml (workflow_dispatch)
+    ├── PyPI Mode → cross-platform-test-shared.yml
+    └── Source Mode → cross-platform-test.yml → cross-platform-test-shared.yml
+
+Programmatic Entry Point:
+└── cross-platform-test.yml (workflow_call only)
+    └── cross-platform-test-shared.yml
+```
+
+- **Manual Workflow**: User-facing interface with PyPI/source options
+- **Main Workflow**: Internal workflow for programmatic calls (CI, releases)
+- **Shared Workflow**: Core test execution logic (matrix jobs)
+- **Single Entry Point**: Use `cross-platform-test-manual.yml` for all manual testing
+
+### Parameter Requirements
+
+⚠️ **Important**: When calling reusable workflows from `workflow_dispatch` triggers, **all parameters must be explicitly provided**, even optional ones with defaults. Missing optional parameters can cause workflows to be silently skipped.
+
+**Example of correct parameter passing:**
+```yaml
+uses: ./.github/workflows/cross-platform-test-shared.yml
+with:
+  install-method: "wheel" 
+  test-timeout: 5
+  langflow-version: ""          # ← Required even though optional
+  base-artifact-name: "dist"
+  main-artifact-name: "dist"  
+  run-id: ""                   # ← Required even though optional
+```
