Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
BatchRequest is hard to use, i.e. it has some affordances that would be illegal.
- First item must be the workflow start
- Second must be signal
We've never added support for other operations to it, such as Update, which means it might mislead people into thinking it could be used for an Update.
Describe the solution you'd like
Suggest deprecating it and replacing it with something
- easier to use
- more consistent with
updateWithStart.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Research direction
Start by reading the BatchRequest usage in core/src/main/java/io/temporal/samples/moneybatch/TransferRequester.java and compare it with the existing updateWithStart API. Clarify the replacement API's allowed operations, deprecation scope, and expected behavior before implementation; done means the design resolves the stated ordering constraints and covers Update consistently.
