Description

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

Currently only batch reset to first workflow task is useful. In many cases, reset to last workflow task will just complete or fail the workflow. If the activity task fail and we wanted to reset, we should reset to last workflow task -1.

Describe the solution you'd like
Provide more reset types, maybe an offset based on the workflow first/last workflow task. Or by time

Describe alternatives you've considered
NA. No easy workaround

Additional context
NA

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing batch reset-to-first-workflow-task behavior and its tests. Clarify whether supported resets should use offsets from the first or last workflow task, time-based positions, or both; done requires agreed semantics and coverage for failed activity-task cases.
