Research direction

Start by locating the Python WorkflowContext API and its existing workflow-related tests. Compare the requested new_guid behavior with the linked Dapr .NET SDK implementation, then add the API and verify that generated GUIDs are replay-safe through the relevant test coverage.

Description

dapr-ext-workflow kind/enhancement

The ability to generate a replay-safe GUID is missing from the API surface of WorkflowContext.

This is a fundamental feature of all Workflow SDKs. e.g. https://github.com/dapr/dotnet-sdk/blob/9a16009d98738fd4f11d1cd7ff58e5afc4fb945a/src/Dapr.Workflow/Worker/Internal/WorkflowOrchestrationContext.cs#L519
