Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If a workflow continues as new (or is otherwise part of a chain?), a user reports that temporal workflow execute doesn't give the first run's result.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a flag for this use case, something like --dont-follow-runs.

Research direction

Start by tracing the temporal workflow execute command and how it follows a workflow chain. Determine the intended flag behavior for workflows that continue as new, then add coverage showing that the command can either follow runs or stop at the initial run and report its result.
