Description
Describe the bug
When a codec server is configured at the namespace level, the download button for externally-stored payloads is permanently disabled. Hovering shows the tooltip "Add a codec server with a /download endpoint to download this payload." even though the codec server is reachable and actively decoding payloads on the same page.
Steps To Reproduce
- Configure a codec server at the namespace level. Do not configure it via the per-browser "Configure Codec Server" dialog (top-right of any workflow page). If you've previously configured at the browser level, you'll need to clear the endpoint from local storage as well.
- Run a workflow that produces a payload large enough to be offloaded to external storage via the SDK's ExternalStorage feature.
- Navigate to that workflow execution in the Cloud UI.
- Observe that workflow payloads are decoded correctly (the codec server
/decodeendpoint is being called successfully), but any payload that was offloaded to external storage shows a disabled download button.
Expected behavior
The download button should be enabled whenever a codec server endpoint is resolvable, whether set at the namespace level or as a browser-level override. The codec server is clearly reachable (it handles /decode for every page load), so the button should not be gated on a separate browser-local store.

- OS: macOS 15.7.4
- Browser: Chrome 146
- Version: (Temporal Cloud UI, current production)
Additional context
The root cause seems to be in src/lib/components/payload/payload-code-block.svelte. The button's disabled and tooltip hide attributes check $codecEndpoint, the browser localStorage store, rather than getCodecEndpoint(page.data.settings), which is the function already used by codeServerRequest in data-encoder.ts for all codec requests. getCodecEndpoint correctly falls back to settings.codec.endpoint when the browser store is empty, but the button check does not.
If desired, I can make a PR for this!

Research direction
Start in src/lib/components/payload/payload-code-block.svelte and compare the download button's disabled and tooltip checks with getCodecEndpoint usage in data-encoder.ts. Verify behavior with a namespace-level codec endpoint and an externally stored payload: the button should enable whenever the endpoint resolves, including without a browser-local override.
