Description

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

Workflows should fail if the arguments cannot be converted. For concerns where this may affect mid-deployment workflows, workflow argument alterations should be compatible with previous versions. Right now workflow runs with bad arguments hang forever and not much can be done but terminate.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating workflow argument conversion and failure handling in each SDK, then review compatibility requirements for mid-deployment workflows; done means invalid arguments fail the workflow instead of hanging the task across every SDK.
