Replaces the use of Properties with Metadata across activity execution models and services for storing lightweight, persistent data. Updated serialization, database schema, and relevant APIs to support this change while ensuring backward compatibility. Adjusted logging and extension methods for Metadata integration.
* Reset V3.5 Runtime Migrations
* Add EF Core migrations for MySQL and SQL Server schema updates
Introduced migrations to support schema changes for MySQL and SQL Server. Changes include new columns for bookmarks and activity execution records, updates to existing columns, and creation of additional indexes. These updates aim to enhance database structure and query performance.
* Add support for metadata in workflow execution context
Introduce a `Metadata` property to `ActivityExecutionContextState` to enhance workflow state management. Updated `WorkflowStateExtractor` to handle metadata merging and preservation. Added an alias for `RetryAttemptRecordList` in `ExpressionOptions` for improved type handling.
* Remove logger dependency from DefaultActivityExecutionMapper
Eliminated the ILogger dependency and related logging calls from DefaultActivityExecutionMapper to simplify the class. This reduces unnecessary coupling and streamlines the activity execution mapping process.
* Update default initializations and input parameters to `null`
Replaced `default!` with explicit `null` for input parameters and properties throughout various classes. Adjusted constructors' default values for consistency and readability. This change ensures better clarity and alignment with nullable reference types.
* Add Polly-based resilience integration for retry tracking
Introduce Polly diagnostics to log retry events in the execution context. Updated resilience strategy interfaces and implementations to support Polly's context and retry event tracking.
* Refactor resilience and retry handling, add flaky endpoint.
Removed custom Polly-based diagnostic listeners and observers in favor of a transient status code utility class. Introduced a mock "flaky" endpoint for testing failure scenarios and updated configuration for resilience strategies. Minor namespace fixes
* Add retry attempt recording to resilience feature
Introduce `IRetryAttemptRecorder` and its implementations to enable recording of retry attempts during activity execution. Updated `ResilientActivityInvoker` to persist retry attempts and modified `ResilienceFeature` to support configurable retry attempt recorders.
* Add retry attempt tracking and retrieval functionality
Introduced mechanisms to track and fetch retry attempts, including new interfaces, reader implementations, API endpoints, and related models. These enhancements improve resilience tracking and data access for activity execution across workflows.
* Add GetOutcome method to RetryAttempt model
Introduce a GetOutcome method to encapsulate logic for determining the retry attempt's outcome. It prioritizes the Result, falls back to the Exception message, or defaults to "Unknown" if neither is available. This improves clarity and reusability of the outcome evaluation.
* Add scoped registration for _retryAttemptReader
This change ensures that _retryAttemptReader is registered in the DI container as a scoped service.
* Refactor retry mechanism to support detailed retry metadata
Introduced a `CollectRetryDetails` method to `IResilientActivity` for enhanced retry data collection. Updated `RetryAttemptRecord` to include a `Details` dictionary for capturing metadata, replacing previous `Result` and `Exception` fields. These changes simplify the retry recording process and improve extensibility for tracking retry details across activities.
* Add support for capturing background activity properties
Introduced functionality to capture and persist background activity properties during workflow execution. This includes defining a key for properties, capturing them in middleware, and storing them in the workflow execution context. These changes ensure properties are handled consistently alongside other activity data.
* Add support for storing and propagating activity execution properties
Introduced a `Properties` dictionary to track additional metadata in activity execution records and stats, enabling richer diagnostics and tracing. Refactored resilience logic to improve retry handling and propagate retry-related flags in workflows. Enhanced database queries to map serialized properties for execution summaries.
* Add retry propagation for background activity execution
Introduced a mechanism to propagate the retry-attempted flag across activity execution contexts. Added a new notification `BackgroundActivityExecutionCompleted` and updated related middleware to send this notification. Enhanced resilience features to handle and propagate retry state effectively.
* Refactor default parameters and values to use 'null'.
Replaced 'default' with 'null' for optional parameters and values in `AddExecutionLogEntry`, improving clarity and ensuring semantic consistency with nullable types. No functional changes were introduced.
* Refactor flaky endpoint and enhance resilience support.
Replaced the "Flaky" endpoint with a more robust "SimulateResponseEndpoint" under a new module. Introduced a status code lookup utility and improved resilience strategies with configurable backoff types. Updated serialization to support enum conversions and enhanced caching behavior for response simulation.

Replaced `default!` initializations with `null!` to ensure correct handling of nullable string properties in `ActivityExecutionRecord`. Added a new `Properties` dictionary to `ActivityExecutionRecordSummary` to store additional activity execution data. This enhances model flexibility and data extensibility.
* Add support for recording resilience strategy in context
Introduced a new method to store resilience strategy details in the activity execution context for enhanced diagnostics. Updated `ResilientActivityInvoker` to serialize and set the resilience strategy using this method, leveraging `JsonSerializer`.
* Remove redundant PropertyNamingPolicy assignment
The PropertyNamingPolicy was set to the default value (CamelCase), making the assignment unnecessary. This change simplifies the code while maintaining existing functionality.
* Set JSON property naming policy to camelCase
Updated JSON serialization settings to use camelCase naming for property names. This improves consistency with standard JSON naming conventions and ensures compatibility with camelCase-based APIs.
