How does this skill help with Temporal non-determinism?

The skill provides specific patterns for Replay Testing, allowing you to run recorded workflow histories against your code to detect incompatible changes before deployment.

Is this skill specific to the Go SDK?

While the current implementation focus is on the Temporal Go SDK and testify framework, the testing principles apply broadly to Temporal development.

Does it support the newer Nexus operations?

Yes, the skill covers testing sync and async Nexus operation handlers, as well as mocking Nexus services within caller workflows.

Can I test workflows that involve signals and queries?

Yes, it includes patterns for using RegisterDelayedCallback to simulate signals and QueryWorkflow to verify internal state during test execution.
