Description

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

Users frequently struggle to use interceptors for context propagation in languages where that concept doesn't exist (TS, Python).

Describe the solution you'd like

Add context propagators to SDKs where they're missing.

Additional context

Context propagators can be implemented using interceptors and we will likely want to leverage that for the implementation to avoid adding complexity to the common execution paths in the codebase.
It's unclear if we'd require users to instantiate a context propagating interceptor or have one implicitly instantiated while exposing a hook in the relevant options classes (client, worker, ...) for users to control what gets propagated.

Research direction

Compare the SDKs where context propagation is missing, beginning with the TypeScript and Python cases named in the issue. Review how interceptors could provide the propagators, then resolve whether users instantiate them or configure them through client and worker options. Done means the supported SDKs have a consistent context-propagation approach.
