Terminal dependencies for CircleCI workflows: Always run what matters

CircleCI introduces terminal jobs as a new feature to streamline pipeline configurations by enabling tasks to run upon reaching a terminal state, regardless of whether upstream jobs succeed, fail, are canceled, or never start. This enhancement addresses the common challenge of managing cleanup, notifications, and teardown in pipelines without resorting to duplicative and fragile configurations, thus simplifying workflow management. By incorporating terminal dependency states, users can express downstream behavior more succinctly, reducing complexity and operational risks associated with missing cleanup paths. This feature allows teams to write less repetitive configurations, express workflow intent more clearly, and establish reliable "finally" patterns across projects, ultimately resulting in more predictable automation.
