Fix status: documented_behavior Workaround (not a fix): Setting workflow_failure_exception_types to include NondeterminismError makes affected workflows fail instead of retrying forever (documented as experimental). Limitations: - sdk-core messages are Rust templates; SDK wrappers may add prefixes. Other error fragments: - Activity type of scheduled event '{}' does not match activity type of activity command '{}' - No command scheduled for event {event} Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/temporalio/sdk-core/0eb03f213079e539c18fb738c32a70bc191aadf4/crates/sdk-core/src/worker/workflow/mod.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): WFMachinesError::Nondeterminism formats "[TMPRL1100] Nondeterminism error: {0}". - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/temporalio/sdk-core/0eb03f213079e539c18fb738c32a70bc191aadf4/crates/sdk-core/src/worker/workflow/machines/activity_state_machine.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Activity id/type mismatch between history event and command produces nondeterminism errors. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/temporalio/sdk-core/0eb03f213079e539c18fb738c32a70bc191aadf4/crates/sdk-core/src/worker/workflow/machines/workflow_machines.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Event with no matching command yields "No command scheduled for event". - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/temporalio/sdk-python/eb642b14947bd8bcdf8816cffb6a63869803f5c6/README.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): README documents that adding NondeterminismError to workflow_failure_exception_types fails the workflow instead of the task (experimental).
