Description

When a plugin asks the ApplicationEnvironment for a dynamic table builder, the only action it can perform is add the table. If a plugin encounters an error while creating the table, there's no way for the SDK driver to know that the table will never be built. We should provide a method like IDynamicTableBuilder.Cancel() to handle these scenarios

Research direction

Start with ApplicationEnvironment's dynamic table builder and the IDynamicTableBuilder contract described in the issue. Trace how the SDK driver learns that a dynamic table has been added, then determine how cancellation should signal that construction will not complete. Done means a plugin can cancel after an error and the SDK driver no longer waits for that table to be built.
