Description
## Summary
Tested against: **Conductor OSS 3.32.0-rc.9**
`WaitTask.__init__(wait_until=...)` sets the inputParameter key `"wait_until"`,
but the Conductor server reads `"until"`. The task is accepted at registration
but never triggers at runtime — the workflow stays RUNNING indefinitely.
## Reproduction
```python
from conductor.client.workflow.task.wait_task import WaitTask
t = WaitTask("my_wait", wait_until="2024-01-01 00:00 UTC")
print(t.input_parameters)
# {'wait_until': '2024-01-01 00:00 UTC'} ← WRONG KEY
```
Start a workflow containing this task. The task status stays `IN_PROGRESS`
forever — the server never sees `"until"` so the condition is never evaluated.
## Root cause
`wait_task.py` line 26:
```python
self.input_parameters = {"wait_until": wait_until} # wrong key
```
Server constant (`Wait.java`):
```java
public static final String UNTIL_INPUT = "until";
```
## Fix
```python
self.input_parameters = {"until": wait_until}
```
Note: the `WaitUntilTask` subclass already uses the correct key `"until"` and
is unaffected. Only `WaitTask.__init__()` called directly with `wait_until=` is broken.
## Verified against
Conductor server **3.32.0-rc.9**, confirmed via live test in
[conductor-oss/conductor-test-harness](https://github.com/nthmost-orkes/conductor-test-harness):
task remained `RUNNING` after 10 s with `wait_until` key; `WaitUntilTask` with
`until` key completed immediately.

Research direction
Start with wait_task.py at line 26 and compare WaitTask.__init__() with the unaffected WaitUntilTask subclass and the server’s Wait.java constant. Done means direct WaitTask use emits the server-recognized input parameter and no longer leaves the task running indefinitely; verify the serialized parameters and workflow behavior described in the reproduction.
