check this link!
It is Japanese written. I recommend to use chrome site translater (right click on the site → translate to English button click)

Those asyncronous operations are really delicate to use, this appears to be a way to keep them separate from the main code, instead of having them inside various classes.

I will be curious to see how it works in lyra, I need to check that

In Lyra, ULyraFrontendStateComponent has an example:

void ULyraFrontendStateComponent::OnExperienceLoaded(const ULyraExperienceDefinition* Experience)
{
	FControlFlow& Flow = FControlFlowStatics::Create(this, TEXT("FrontendFlow"))
		.QueueStep(TEXT("Wait For User Initialization"), this, &ThisClass::FlowStep_WaitForUserInitialization)
		.QueueStep(TEXT("Try Show Press Start Screen"), this, &ThisClass::FlowStep_TryShowPressStartScreen)
		.QueueStep(TEXT("Try Join Requested Session"), this, &ThisClass::FlowStep_TryJoinRequestedSession)
		.QueueStep(TEXT("Try Show Main Screen"), this, &ThisClass::FlowStep_TryShowMainScreen);

	Flow.ExecuteFlow();

	FrontEndFlow = Flow.AsShared();
}

Looks like each step gets passed a subflow variable it uses to continue:

SubFlow->ContinueFlow()
