TaskType.NOOP missing — NOOP system task has no enum value or builder class #430

Description

@nthmost-orkes

Summary

Tested against: Conductor OSS 3.32.0-rc.9

The Conductor server has a NOOP system task type (TaskType.NOOP) that
completes immediately with no inputParameters. The Python SDK has neither an
enum value nor a builder class for it.

Details

from conductor.client.workflow.task.task_type import TaskType
hasattr(TaskType, "NOOP")   # False

There is no noop_task.py and no NoopTask class anywhere in the SDK.

NOOP is useful as an explicit no-op placeholder in workflow branches (e.g.
the default branch of a SWITCH where nothing should happen). Without SDK support,
users must use raw dicts.

Suggested fix

Add to task_type.py:

NOOP = "NOOP"

Add src/conductor/client/workflow/task/noop_task.py:

class NoopTask(TaskInterface):
    def __init__(self, task_ref_name: str):
        super().__init__(task_reference_name=task_ref_name,
                         task_type=TaskType.NOOP)

Verified against

Conductor server 3.32.0-rc.9. A raw-dict NOOP workflow registered and ran
to COMPLETED on the server. Only the SDK support is missing.
