Describe the solution you'd like

Need to fail workflow if Temporal error comes back from converter or codec. Today (most) SDKs fail the task. SDKs listed below but research may determine different requirements based on what they already do.

Research direction

Start by comparing the converter and codec exception behavior across the Go, Java, TypeScript, Python, .NET, and PHP SDKs. Review the linked TypeScript and Python issues, then identify the relevant workflow and task failure entry points in each SDK. Done means the required behavior is agreed across SDKs and covered by compatibility tests, but this issue names no files or tests.
