Sample: Workflow Cancellation
A three-step workflow where each step takes 2 seconds. We cancel it after 3 seconds
to demonstrate mid-execution cancellation using asyncio tasks.
Purpose:
Show how to cancel a running workflow by wrapping it in an asyncio.Task. This pattern
works with both workflow.run() stream=True and stream=False. Useful for implementing
timeouts, graceful shutdown, or A2A executors that need cancellation support.
Prerequisites:
- No external services required.
