Description

Describe the solution you'd like

Today, deadlocked workflow does not get interrupted and the stack trace is where we raised it. Try to interrupt the workflow if it is evicted post-deadlock and try to put the stack trace of the deadlocked thread as the deadlock error's stack trace.

Research direction

Start by reading the workflow deadlock detection and eviction interruption paths, then trace how the deadlock error's stack trace is assembled. Done means an evicted deadlocked workflow is interrupted and the error reports the deadlocked thread's stack trace.
