Description

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

I have bundling working following the example at https://github.com/temporalio/samples-typescript/tree/f16fa9d4962c31231ea63c0a7c7dada3c52a840a/production.

I can use a custom payload converter following the example at https://github.com/temporalio/samples-typescript/tree/main/ejson.

How do I combine the two? When I bundle with a payload converter, I get an error from Temporal client setup:

ValueError: Could not find a file at the specified payloadConverterPath: './shared/temporal/payload-converter.ts'.
Describe the solution you'd like

Explain how to use a payload converter with a client bundled by Webpack.

Research direction

Start by comparing the production and ejson examples in the linked samples-typescript revisions, focusing on how bundling and payloadConverterPath are configured. Done means the repository includes an example or explanation showing how to use a payload converter with a Webpack-bundled Temporal client and avoids the reported missing-file error.
