Descrizione
### Expected Behavior
When `waitForCondition` exhausts its configured attempts, the SDK should:
1. Checkpoint the `WaitForCondition` step as `FAILED` with a non-null `ErrorObject`.
2. Checkpoint an enclosing synchronous child context as `FAILED` with a non-null `ErrorObject`.
3. Return a root `DurableExecutionInvocationOutput` with `Status=FAILED` and a non-null `ErrorObject`.
This ensures replay preserves useful diagnostics and any service/emulator consuming the invocation result can reliably record the execution as failed.
### Actual Behavior
The built-in wait strategies throw `WaitForConditionFailedException(String)`, whose `DurableOperationException` state has a null `ErrorObject`.
That null propagates through the failure path:
- `WaitForConditionOperation.handleCheckFailure()` reuses `DurableOperationException.getErrorObject()` without a null fallback.
- `ChildContextOperation.handleChildContextFailure()` does the same.
- `DurableExecutor.buildErrorObject()` returns `DurableOperationException.getErrorObject()` directly, even when it is null.
The final invocation output can therefore be equivalent to:
```json
{
"Status": "FAILED"
}
```
The Java `LocalDurableTestRunner` preserves the `FAILED` status, but the error is absent. When used through SAM Local, this combines with an emulator bug that currently converts `FAILED` with no error into `ExecutionSucceeded`.
### Steps to Reproduce
Use a synchronous child context containing a condition that never stops polling:
```java
var runner = LocalDurableTestRunner.create(String.class, (input, ctx) ->
ctx.runInChildContext("child", String.class, child ->
child.waitForCondition(
"poll",
String.class,
(state, stepCtx) -> WaitForConditionResult.continuePolling(state),
WaitForConditionConfig.builder()
.waitStrategy(WaitStrategies.fixedDelay(
2, Duration.ofSeconds(1)))
.build())));
var result = runner.runUntilComplete("test");
```
The local runner reports `FAILED`, but the root error is absent. Running the equivalent handler through SAM Local can produce this history:
```text
StepFailed (WaitForCondition)
ContextFailed (RunInChildContext)
InvocationCompleted
ExecutionSucceeded
```
### SDK Version
`2.1.0`; the behavior is also present on current `2.1.1-SNAPSHOT` / `main` as of 2026-08-19.
### Java Version
17
### Is this a regression?
No known working version.
### Last Working Version
N/A
### Proposed Fix
Always fall back to serializing the thrown exception when an SDK exception has no embedded error:
```java
if (e instanceof DurableOperationException operationException
&& operationException.getErrorObject() != null) {
return operationException.getErrorObject();
}
return ExceptionHelper.buildErrorObject(e, serDes);
```
Apply equivalent null fallbacks when checkpointing failures in `WaitForConditionOperation` and `ChildContextOperation`, so operation history and replay also retain the error.
Add an integration test for max-attempt exhaustion inside synchronous `runInChildContext` that asserts:
- the step is failed with error details;
- the child context is failed with error details;
- the root invocation is `FAILED` with an error.

Direzione di ricerca
Inizia da WaitForConditionOperation.handleCheckFailure(), ChildContextOperation.handleChildContextFailure() e DurableExecutor.buildErrorObject(), quindi esegui la riproduzione sincrona di runInChildContext con LocalDurableTestRunner. Aggiungi i fallback per gli errori null e un test di integrazione che copra l’esaurimento del numero massimo di tentativi. Il lavoro è completato quando lo step, il contesto figlio e l’invocazione root sono tutti FAILED con i dettagli dell’errore.
