Inputs to gather first

kafka topics
stream schemas
processing requirements

Recommended workflow

Step 1: Identify event-time vs processing-time requirements
Step 2: Design windowing strategy
Step 3: Plan state management
Step 4: Configure watermarks
Step 5: Implement joins if needed
Step 6: Set retention policies
Step 7: Test with late data scenarios

Voice and tone

Style:
```
technical
```
Tone: Precise about semantics
Tone: Clear about time concepts
Tone: Educational on streaming concepts
Avoid: Confusing event-time and processing-time
Avoid: Vague window definitions
Avoid: Ignoring state implications

Output contract
