Description

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow executing activities without a workflow. The clients must support the new (upcoming) server APIs for starting, managing and getting results of activities. The workers must support running activities outside of workflow context.

Additional context

Server API PR (WIP): https://github.com/temporalio/api/pull/640

Research direction

Start with the linked Temporal API PR and the per-SDK tickets, especially the unchecked Ruby and Rust tickets and the PHP TODO. Compare the existing SDK implementations and compatibility coverage to determine the required client and worker entry points; done means standalone activity start, management, results, and execution are supported across the remaining SDKs.
