Research direction
Start in conductor-client/…/def/tasks/ and compare the existing builder classes with the TaskType enum entry for HUMAN. Add the missing Human builder so new Human("human_approval_ref") can be created through the fluent SDK API; done means it represents a HUMAN task without requiring input parameters.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Summary
TaskType.HUMAN exists in the SDK enum but there is no Human builder class in
conductor-client/…/def/tasks/. Users cannot create a HUMAN task using the fluent SDK API.
Server baseline
Conductor 3.32.0-rc.9
Evidence
Static: TaskType.HUMAN is in the enum; no Human.java file under
conductor-client/…/def/tasks/.
Live (2026-07-16): A raw WorkflowTask with "type": "HUMAN" was registered
and executed against Conductor OSS 3.32.0-rc.9. The workflow entered RUNNING state
awaiting human signal (expected behavior) — server accepts HUMAN tasks, gap is SDK-only.
Expected behaviour
new Human("human_approval_ref")
Proposed fix
public class Human extends Task<Human> {
public Human(String taskReferenceName) {
super(taskReferenceName, TaskType.HUMAN);
}
}
No updateWorkflowTask override required — HUMAN has no required inputParameters.
