Research direction

Start by reading the linked sdk-core issue 446 and the Java refactoring changes that produced these notes. Trace local activity retry thresholds, retry-state handling, and cancellation when the workflow task has already failed. Done means the listed cases are addressed without nondeterminism errors or orphaned local activities, with relevant tests added or updated.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug

Just capturing notes, handful of things to fix that we learned about while refactoring Java.

  • https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-core/issues/446
  • Local retry threshold tied to WFT timeout - 3x or whatever, for default.
  • Use retry state so I'm accepting of changes to retry policy or timeout adjustments w/o causing nondeterminism error.
  • Cancel of LA if WFT already failed for some other reason - don't orphan LAs
