Research direction

Start by reading dapr/dapr#9729 to understand the requested list, history, and rewind APIs and their expected behavior. Then locate the corresponding workflow management surface in the Python SDK and verify that all three capabilities are exposed for Dapr Agents’ health and metrics use cases.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

dapr-ext-workflow kind/enhancement

Implement the features (list, history, rewind) in dapr/dapr#9729.

Dapr Agents benefits from the list capability as it enables health endpoints + agent metrics supporting scale to zero (at least until event streaming dapr/proposals#77 lands as it scales better past ~100s of agents).
