Add ExceptionPropertiesSample demonstrating IExceptionPropertiesProvi…

[YunchuWang]

This pull request adds a new sample, ExceptionPropertiesSample, to demonstrate how to enrich TaskFailureDetails with custom exception properties using the IExceptionPropertiesProvider interface in Durable Task. The sample includes custom exception types, a provider for extracting properties, orchestration and activity implementations, and documentation.

New Exception Properties Sample

Sample project and solution integration:

• Added new sample project ExceptionPropertiesSample with supporting files, and integrated it into the solution (Microsoft.DurableTask.sln). This includes build configuration and project references for both local and DTS scenarios. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Custom exception enrichment:

• Implemented BusinessValidationException with additional properties (ErrorCode, StatusCode, Metadata) for richer error diagnostics.
• Added CustomExceptionPropertiesProvider that implements IExceptionPropertiesProvider to extract custom properties from specific exception types and include them in orchestration failure details.

Sample orchestration and activity:

• Created ValidationOrchestration and ValidateInputActivity to simulate input validation and throw custom exceptions with enriched properties on failure.

Sample usage and demonstration:

• Added Program.cs to set up the worker, register the custom exception properties provider, and run test cases to show how enriched failure details are retrieved and displayed.

Documentation:

• Included a detailed README.md explaining the sample's purpose, setup, usage, and expected output, with code snippets and notes for users.

• [] Yes, AI helped write parts of this PR (e.g., GitHub Copilot)
• Yes, an AI agent generated most of this PR

If AI was used:

• Tool(s): vscode
• AI-assisted areas/files: all
• What you changed after AI output: asked it to make sample connect to dts instead of local sidecar

AI verification (required if AI was used):

• I understand the code and can explain it
• I verified referenced APIs/types exist and are correct
• I reviewed edge cases/failure paths (timeouts, retries, cancellation, exceptions)
• I reviewed concurrency/async behavior
• I checked for unintended breaking or behavior changes

Pull request overview

This PR adds a new sample demonstrating the usage of IExceptionPropertiesProvider to enrich TaskFailureDetails with custom exception properties. The sample shows how to create custom exceptions with additional diagnostic information and how to configure the Durable Task framework to automatically extract and include these properties in failure details.

Key Changes

• Adds a complete standalone sample showing IExceptionPropertiesProvider usage
• Demonstrates custom business validation exceptions with error codes, status codes, and metadata
• Shows how to register and use the provider with the Durable Task worker
