Research direction

Start by locating the fan-out/fan-in orchestration code and the handling of CompositeTaskFailedException in durabletask-java. Trace whether successful task results remain accessible after another task fails. Done means the supported access path is established and, if a change is needed, its behavior is covered by an appropriate test.

Description

Enhancement P2

If we submit 2 tasks for execution using the fan-out/fan-in pattern. If one of these tasks fails with an exception, we can retrieve its details by catching a CompositeTaskFailedException. But what about the task that was successful? How can I access its response in the orchestrator function's code?
