Resolve Executor handler annotations with get_type_hints

[moonbox3]

Summary

• resolve class-based @handler annotations using typing.get_type_hints (with include_extras when available)
• validate WorkflowContext against resolved annotations to support postponed/forward refs
• add regression test for from __future__ import annotations on Executor handlers

Testing

• added test_executor_future.py::TestExecutorFutureAnnotations::test_executor_handler_future_annotations

Automated PR Review Round 1: CHANGES_REQUESTED

Issue: #1
The switch to resolving annotations with typing.get_type_hints is directionally correct for postponed/forward annotations, but the current implementation can raise unexpectedly in cases where ctx/message annotations should be optional and it expands the code-execution surface during handler registration. Additionally, the PR introduces new GitHub Actions workflows that handle high-privilege secrets and execute external code with insufficient hardening (including unpinned actions and PAT-in-URL cloning). Tests cover only a happy path and rely on private internals, leaving key regressions and failure modes unvalidated.

Reviewer summaries:

• Reviewer 1: Correctness fix is promising but get_type_hints is called too eagerly and workflows add unsafe secret-handling and unpinned actions.
• Reviewer 2: Workflows introduce major supply-chain/secret-exfiltration risk, and get_type_hints evaluation during registration can be a security and reliability hazard unless constrained.
• Reviewer 3: Tests are brittle (private internals) and miss negative/edge coverage for unresolved forward refs and the new ValueError behavior.

Blocking issues:

• Remove or split out the newly added GitHub Actions workflows, or harden them substantially: avoid long-lived PATs (especially in clone URLs), do not execute code from separately cloned repos in the same job where high-privilege secrets are present, restrict triggers/gating (e.g., protected environments/approvals), and pin third-party actions to immutable SHAs.
• Fix executor handler validation so typing.get_type_hints is not evaluated when annotations are optional due to explicit @handler(input=..., output=...) types; currently eager evaluation can raise (e.g., unresolved ctx forward refs) before the skip/bypass logic applies.
• Constrain/mitigate typing.get_type_hints evaluation during handler registration: it can evaluate forward refs and execute code via globalns/localns; avoid resolving unless needed, and provide a safe fallback path (or conditional resolution limited to required parameters) when evaluation fails.
• Add targeted tests to cover the new unresolved-annotation failure path (asserting the intended exception/message) and the explicit-types decorator path where ctx/message annotations are omitted or contain unresolved forward refs but should not fail when skipped.

Suggestions:

• Reduce brittleness of tests by asserting via public/stable behavior (e.g., registration/dispatch outcomes) rather than inspecting private _handler_specs internals.
• Consider caching resolved type hints per handler function to avoid repeated get_type_hints cost and repeated evaluation side effects.
• Add coverage for additional postponed/forward-annotation edge cases relevant to supported Python versions (e.g., Optional/Union, local scope types, Annotated/include_extras behavior differences).

[moonbox3]

typing.get_type_hints() evaluates annotations and may execute code via forward refs/globalns; since handlers may be user-supplied, avoid evaluating unless necessary and/or provide a safe fallback (e.g., use raw annotations when resolution fails, or resolve only specific required parameters).

Automated status: round 1. Accepted for implementation in the next remediation pass.

[moonbox3]

Correctness: eager get_type_hints() runs even when ctx/message annotations should be optional due to explicit @handler(input=..., output=...) types; unresolved ctx forward refs (or problematic return annotations) can raise before reaching the skip/bypass logic. Resolve hints conditionally/only for required params.

Automated status: round 1. Accepted for implementation in the next remediation pass.

[moonbox3]

Behavior change: unresolved annotations now raise ValueError—add a regression test that intentionally hits this path (e.g., unresolved forward ref) so failures are explicit and stable.

Automated status: round 1. Accepted for implementation in the next remediation pass.

[moonbox3]

This asserts on private _handler_specs which is brittle and may not reflect real runtime behavior; prefer asserting via public registration/dispatch behavior and add negative coverage for unresolved forward refs and the explicit-types skip path.
