Instead of:

  const { history } = await conn.workflowService.getWorkflowExecutionHistory({
    namespace: 'default',
    execution: {
      workflowId: 'calc',
    },
  });

and throwing errors like:

Describe the solution you'd like
const history = await workflowHandle.getHistory()

and throwing WorkflowNotFoundError

Research direction

Start by comparing the existing conn.workflowService.getWorkflowExecutionHistory call with the requested workflowHandle.getHistory() API. Check how the TypeScript SDK represents workflow handles and errors, then define the behavior for returning history and throwing WorkflowNotFoundError. Done means the friendly method and error behavior are covered by the repository's compatibility tests.
