   - Output: run_id, start_time
   - gRPC Call: `workflowServiceStub.StartWorkflowExecution()`

2. **DescribeWorkflowExecution**
   - Input: namespace, workflowID, runID
   - Output: status, type, start_time, close_time, history_length
   - gRPC Call: `workflowServiceStub.DescribeWorkflowExecution()`

3. **TerminateWorkflowExecution**
   - Input: namespace, workflowID, runID, reason
   - Output: status (TERMINATED), terminated_at
   - gRPC Call: `workflowServiceStub.TerminateWorkflowExecution()`

4. **CancelWorkflowExecution**
   - Input: namespace, workflowID, runID
   - Output: status (CANCEL_REQUESTED)
   - gRPC Call: `workflowServiceStub.RequestCancelWorkflowExecution()`

5. **SignalWorkflowExecution**
   - Input: namespace, workflowID, runID, signalName, signal input
   - Output: signal_name, signaled_at
   - gRPC Call: `workflowServiceStub.SignalWorkflowExecution()`

6. **QueryWorkflowExecution**
   - Input: namespace, workflowID, runID, queryType
   - Output: query_result, queried_at
   - gRPC Call: `workflowServiceStub.QueryWorkflow()`

7. **ListWorkflowExecutions**
   - Input: namespace, pageSize
   - Output: executions[], next_page_token

```

### Protobuf Conversions
- ✅ JSON input → Temporal Payloads
- ✅ Workflow execution results → JSON output
- ✅ Enum conversions (IndexedValueType, Status, EventType)

## 🎯 Error Handling

All gRPC operations include:
- ✅ Connection error handling
- ✅ gRPC status code mapping
- ✅ Meaningful error messages
- ✅ Timeout support (5 second default in tests)
- ✅ Graceful degradation when server unavailable

Example:
```go
_, err := w.grpc.GetWorkflowServiceStub().StartWorkflowExecution(ctx, req)
if err != nil {
    return nil, fmt.Errorf("gRPC StartWorkflowExecution failed: %w", err)
}
```

## 📝 API Usage Example

### Start Workflow via gRPC
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/workflow \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "action": "START_WORKFLOW",
    "namespace": "default",
    "payload": {
      "workflow_id": "order_123",
      "workflow_type": "OrderProcessing",
      "task_queue": "orders",
      "input": {"order_id": "123", "amount": 99.99}
    }
  }'
```

**Response** (gRPC executed):
```json
{
  "success": true,
  "action": "START_WORKFLOW",
  "namespace": "default",
  "data": {
    "workflow_id": "order_123",
    "run_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
    "started_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
  },
  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
}
```
