Research direction
Start in the .NET workflow API and trace how TimerPort and workflow edges are currently exposed. Check the existing timer-related entry points and determine the smallest public API needed for CreateTimer; done means a .NET workflow can create a timer for polling or waiting and the relevant API behavior is covered by tests.
