説明

### What would you like?

When a checkpoint response arrives without a `CheckpointToken`, the SDK should treat it as a signal that the service will accept no further checkpoints from this invocation. The SDK should stop issuing checkpoints and end the invocation cleanly with `Status: PENDING`.

Why PENDING and not FAILED or a thrown error:
- A missing token does not mean the execution is finished. It means this invocation cannot make further progress. The invocation result must not claim the execution finished.
- A thrown error is an invocation failure. Lambda retries it, but the retry has no valid token and can do nothing useful. It also puts an error in customer logs for a condition the SDK understood.
- PENDING is already what the SDK returns for every suspend (wait, scheduled retry, pending callback). This is a suspend: the invocation is done for now and the execution continues later.

### Current behavior

The checkpoint loop already detects a missing token on a non-empty batch (`state.py`, `_process_checkpoint_batch`), but it reads the missing token as "the execution reached a terminal state":

```python
if output.checkpoint_token:
current_checkpoint_token = output.checkpoint_token
elif updates:
execution_completed = True
```

It then calls `_settle_after_execution_completed()`, which stops checkpointing and settles every queued operation with `OrphanedChildException`. The handler thread keeps running. On its next durable call, `_reject_if_execution_completed` raises `OrphanedChildException`. That class extends `BaseException`, and `execution.py` has no handler for it. So the exception propagates out of the Lambda handler as an unhandled error. The invocation fails; the SDK never returns PENDING. If the handler needs no further durable call it returns SUCCEEDED normally.

So Python already has the detection point. What is missing is the classification: a missing token on a non-empty batch is not always "execution completed"; it can also mean "no further checkpoints from this invocation, execution continues later."

### Possible Implementation

1. At the `elif updates:` branch, treat the missing token as a suspend rather than as "execution completed". A completed execution never invokes the handler again, so answering PENDING for it is harmless; a suspended one needs PENDING.
2. Raise `SuspendExecution` (or a new sibling) in the handler thread instead of `OrphanedChildException` when the missing token is observed. `execution.py` already maps `SuspendExecution` to `InvocationStatus.PENDING`.
3. Keep `_settle_after_execution_completed` semantics for queued operations: they cannot be checkpointed, so they are abandoned and replay on the next invocation. AT_MOST_ONCE steps whose START landed in the last accepted checkpoint will not run again, which is the defined semantics of AT_MOST_ONCE.
4. Unit test: a checkpoint response without `checkpoint_token` on a non-empty batch produces `status: PENDING`, no further checkpoint calls, and no raised exception.
5. Testing SDK: the local runner needs a way to omit the token on a chosen checkpoint so customers can test their handlers against this path.

### Is this a breaking change?

No. The SDK's response set is unchanged; a new internal termination reason is added.

### Additional Context

- Prerequisite: #721 (message-case bug in stale-token classification). That fix is the fallback path whenever the missing token is not detected, so it should land first.
- Sibling issues in the JS and Java SDKs are linked in a comment below.

調査の方向性

state.py の _process_checkpoint_batch から開始し、execution.py で SuspendExecution と既存の PENDING マッピングを確認してください。checkpoint のレスポンスに checkpoint_token がない、空ではないバッチのユニットテストを追加または更新し、その後、ローカル runner の checkpoint 制御を確認してください。呼び出しが PENDING を返し、それ以降の checkpoint 呼び出しを行わず、未処理の例外を発生させなければ完了です。
