Set up E2E testing infrastructure aligned with durabletask-python

[Copilot]

Aligns E2E testing infrastructure with durabletask-python by using durabletask-go sidecar for standard tests and DTS emulator for Azure-managed tests.

Standard E2E Tests (pr-validation.yaml)

• Replaced Docker-based sidecar with durabletask-go (port 4001)
• Split into lint-and-unit-tests and e2e-tests jobs
• Added Node.js matrix: 18.x, 20.x, 22.x
• Updated to actions v4/v5

Azure-managed E2E Tests (new)

• Added dts-e2e-tests.yaml workflow using mcr.microsoft.com/dts/dts-emulator (port 8080)
• Created test/e2e-azuremanaged/orchestration.spec.ts with 9 tests
• Added scripts/test-e2e-azuremanaged.sh for local testing

npm scripts

"test:e2e:azuremanaged:internal": "jest test/e2e-azuremanaged --runInBand --detectOpenHandles",
"test:e2e:azuremanaged": "./scripts/test-e2e-azuremanaged.sh"

Backend Alignment

Test Type	Backend	Port
Standard E2E	durabletask-go	4001
Azure-managed	DTS emulator	8080

Original prompt

refer to microsoft/durabletask-python repo given this context this is python testing backend setup 1. durabletask-go Sidecar (for standard E2E tests)
The standard E2E tests in tests/durabletask/ use the durabletask-go sidecar as the backend. From the test files and documentation:

Python

NOTE: These tests assume a sidecar process is running. Example command:

go install github.com/microsoft/durabletask-go@main

durabletask-go --port 4001

The tests communicate with this sidecar via gRPC on port 4001 by default.

2. DTS (Durable Task Scheduler) Emulator (for Azure-managed tests)
   The Azure-managed tests in tests/durabletask-azuremanaged/ use the DTS emulator as a Docker container:

Python

NOTE: These tests assume a sidecar process is running. Example command:

docker run -i -p 8080:8080 -p 8082:8082 -d mcr.microsoft.com/dts/dts-emulator:latest

These tests use:

DurableTaskSchedulerClient and DurableTaskSchedulerWorker classes
Default endpoint: http://localhost:8080
Environment variables: ENDPOINT and TASKHUB
Communication Protocol
Both backends communicate using gRPC based on the protobuf definitions from microsoft/durabletask-protobuf. The Python SDK uses TaskHubGrpcWorker and TaskHubGrpcClient classes to interact with these sidecars.

set up durabletask-js e2e tests aligning with python testing setup. also check repos thoroughly to update or create ci/cd pipelines to include the e2e test if needed accordingly
