Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is common for activities to fail to heartbeat on time or complete an activity on time. Troubleshooting this problem is not simple.

Describe the solution you'd like
Automatically log the stack of the activity thread if an activity didn't heartbeat within heartbeat interval or an activity failed to complete for the start to close timeout.

Research direction

Start by locating the activity execution paths that handle missed heartbeats and start-to-close timeouts. Trace how those failures are currently reported, then define completion as logging the activity thread stack for both cases and verify the behavior with the relevant activity timeout and heartbeat tests.
