Description

## Summary

Four task types added to the Conductor server in 3.32.0-rc.9 (PR conductor-oss/conductor#1288)
are absent from the SDK's `TaskType` enum. Calling `TaskType.of("AGENT")` silently returns
`USER_DEFINED` instead of the correct value.

## Server baseline

Conductor **3.32.0-rc.9**

## Missing values

The server's `TaskType.java` has:
```java
PULL_WORKFLOW_MESSAGES,
AGENT,
GET_AGENT_CARD,
CANCEL_AGENT;
```

The SDK's `TaskType.java` stops at `CALL_MCP_TOOL` — all four values are absent.

## Impact

- `TaskType.of("AGENT")` returns `USER_DEFINED` — silently wrong
- No builder classes can be typed to these task types
- SDK users writing AGENT workflows must hard-code raw strings

## Evidence

**Static:** Compared server `TaskType.java` against SDK `TaskType.java`.

**Live (2026-07-16):** A raw `WorkflowTask` with `"type": "AGENT"` was registered
against Conductor OSS 3.32.0-rc.9. Server accepted the definition, confirming the type is
valid server-side — the gap is SDK-only.

## Proposed fix

Add to the SDK `TaskType` enum:
```java
PULL_WORKFLOW_MESSAGES,
AGENT,
GET_AGENT_CARD,
CANCEL_AGENT;
```

Builder classes for AGENT, GET_AGENT_CARD, and CANCEL_AGENT should follow once the
agent task API is stable.

Same gap exists in the Python SDK (conductor-oss/python-sdk#431).

Research direction

Compare the SDK's TaskType.java with the server's TaskType.java at Conductor 3.32.0-rc.9, starting with the SDK enum entry that currently ends at CALL_MCP_TOOL. Verify that TaskType.of("AGENT") and the other three names resolve to their corresponding enum values, with no builder work required until the agent task API is stable.
