Research direction

Read src/sdk/builders/tasks/index.ts and the task-builder exports first. Add src/sdk/builders/tasks/exclusiveJoin.ts following the proposed signature and fields, then export exclusiveJoinTask from the index; done means the EXCLUSIVE_JOIN builder is reachable through the SDK API.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug

Summary

TaskType.EXCLUSIVE_JOIN is in the enum but there is no exclusiveJoinTask() builder.
The defaultExclusiveJoinTask field is unreachable via the SDK API.

Server baseline

Conductor 3.32.0-rc.9

Evidence

Static: TaskType.EXCLUSIVE_JOIN exists in types.ts:61; no builder exported from
builders/tasks/index.ts.

Live (2026-07-16): A raw EXCLUSIVE_JOIN task inside a SWITCH workflow was registered
and executed against Conductor OSS 3.32.0-rc.9. Workflow completed successfully — gap is SDK-only.

Proposed fix

Add src/sdk/builders/tasks/exclusiveJoin.ts:

import type { WorkflowTask } from "../../../open-api";
import { TaskType } from "../../../open-api";

export const exclusiveJoinTask = (
  taskReferenceName: string,
  joinOn: string[],
  defaultExclusiveJoinTask?: string[],
  optional?: boolean
): WorkflowTask => ({
  name: taskReferenceName,
  taskReferenceName,
  type: TaskType.EXCLUSIVE_JOIN,
  joinOn,
  defaultExclusiveJoinTask,
  inputParameters: {},
  optional,
});

Export from builders/tasks/index.ts.
