Description

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

It is unclear how SDKs behave in the face of manually returned cancellation errors when a cancellation is not in progress. See https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-go/issues/686.

Describe the solution you'd like
  • Make sure all SDKs do not try to send RespondActivityTaskCanceledRequest to the server regardless of error type when there's not a cancellation requested from the server
  • Confirm that async complete activity still can be given cancellation error

Research direction

Start with the linked sdk-go issue 686 and the behavior described for workflows, activities, and async completion. Compare how each SDK handles manually returned cancellation errors when no server cancellation is active, then confirm the behavior across all SDKs, including async-completed activities.
