Research direction

Start by examining the activity method, child workflow method, and nexus operation calls described in the issue, along with how their stubs are created. Determine how per-call option overrides should differ from stub options and whether the same API applies to all three call types. Done means callers can provide specific options without creating a new stub for each call.
