Steve,

I'd like to know if I can use the SDK to build workflow/process diagrams that specify inputs, outputs, and side effects (ie, this process creates a pile of logs or documentation) and then export a process specification for use in another application.

My specific use case is process mapping and quality systems implementation in a hardware engineering setting.

That sounds really useful. There's no export yet here apart from images and it isn't something I've thought about much so far. Are there standard formats for these types of workflows?

No industry standard format that I know of. I presume I'll have to come up with my own (some kind of typed JSON, probably).

At the end of the line these are just function definitions -- a black box that takes well defined inputs and produces well defined outputs, as well as calling out side-effects (I suppose these could just be more outputs).

search for XPDL and BPMN

Perhaps SCXML or Xstate?
