In `@packages/worker/CHANGELOG.md`:
- Around line 35-37: Qualify every beta.9 release-note mention of “workflow ID”
to state that it is safe as a downstream key only when the side effect runs once
per workflow execution; for multiple distinct side effects, require combining it
with a stable per-operation identifier. Apply the wording consistently across
the worker, contract, and testing changelogs.
- Around line 31-33: Update the idempotency-key flow in
ActivityImplementationHelpers and runActivity so an undeclared key remains
safely readable as undefined, while consumers such as
processPaymentUseCase.execute and gateway.charge accept the optional value
instead of requiring string. Preserve string handling for activities that
declare an idempotency key.

3ed260c: Ready-made error pattern groups —
WORKFLOW_START_PATTERNS,WORKFLOW_RESULT_PATTERNS,WORKFLOW_EXECUTE_PATTERNS,WORKFLOW_STOPPED_PATTERNS,SIGNAL_PATTERNS,QUERY_PATTERNS,UPDATE_PATTERNS,SCHEDULE_CREATE_PATTERNS. Each mirrors one method's errorunion exactly, so
matcher.with(...WORKFLOW_RESULT_PATTERNS, handler)replacessix hand-written
P.tag(...)arguments.Exhaustiveness is unchanged: these are ordinary pattern tuples, so a missing
member is still a compile error naming it. A workflow's declared contract
errors are deliberately not in these groups — no shipped group can name a
user's own errors — so for a workflow that declares
errors, a group alone isnot exhaustive: match those first with
{ errorName: "..." }.5545236: Workflows can derive their workflow ID from their input:
startPolicyonly bites when two starts of the same logical request collide onone ID, and the ID used to be entirely the caller's — passing
crypto.randomUUID()made"once-per-id"inert with no diagnostic. A workflowthat declares
workflowIdnow derives it from the validated payload onstartWorkflow/executeWorkflow/signalWithStart, and supplying one atthe call site is a type error. Workflows that declare none are unchanged.
IdempotencyModeis renamed toWorkflowStartPolicy(the old name stays as adeprecated type alias).

4e47875: Activities can declare an idempotency key, derived from their input:
Temporal runs activities at least once, and nothing in the library helped
with that until now —
idempotencyon a workflow is start deduplication andsays nothing about an activity running twice. Being payload-derived, the key is
stable across activity retries, worker crashes, and a fresh workflow execution
with the same input.
helpers.idempotencyKeyis typedstringfor an activity that declares one andundefinedfor one that does not, so reaching for a key that was never declaredis a compile error.
runActivityhands over the same value.Good key sources: a business identifier already in the input, a dedicated
idempotencyKeyfield the caller mints, or the workflow ID — which isper-execution and, when the contract derives it, a function of the payload.

2cc0053:
createTimeSkippingContractTest({ contract, workflowsPath, activities })— theone-call fixture for the time-skipping tier, the Docker-free counterpart to
createContractTest. It owns theTestWorkflowEnvironment, the workflow bundle(built once per Vitest worker process), the worker, the
TypedClientbinding,and the replay-on-finish check, and hands the test
{ worker, client }.Previously the tier with the better ergonomics was also the one that needed
Docker: the time-skipping tier only offered
testRig, which makes the callerbuild a bundle and manage the environment.
testRigstays as the lower-levelseam.

8d1359a:
bestEffort(result, onFailure)— the counterpart topropagateFailurefor anon-critical call (a notification, a metric, an audit write). It hands the
failure to
onFailureand resolvesundefinedinstead of ending the workflow,but re-raises real cancellation (
ActivityCancelledError,ChildWorkflowCancelledError,WorkflowCancelledError) so a workflow can nolonger absorb its own cancel by accident. That rule used to live in every
hand-written best-effort fold; it is now structural.
propagateActivityFailureis renamed topropagateFailure— it has alwaysalso handled child-workflow calls and cancellation scopes, and the old name said
otherwise. The old name is removed, not aliased: it only ever shipped in 8.0
betas, and this release already renames
idempotencytostartPolicyoutright.Rename the import; behaviour is unchanged.
