Stopping a chat through Temporal cancellation previously logged cancellation exceptions as errors, while asyncio cancellations had no cancellation marker.

Use Temporal's cancellation classifier for workflow and activity spans, including cancellations wrapped in activity or child workflow exceptions:

# Before: cancellation could populate error or leave no marker.
# After:
span.log(metadata={"temporal.cancelled": True})

Preserve exception propagation and span cleanup. Ordinary failures continue to populate error. Cover direct, activity, and child workflow cancellation alongside an ordinary failure with real Temporal workflows.

Cache eviction cancels workflow tasks internally. Extend the existing replay
test to assert that a successful workflow has neither temporal.cancelled
metadata nor an error. The replay span hook already suppresses these writes.

The child cancellation test could inspect spans before the child finished
cancelling. Wait for completion before checking the exported spans:

```text
before: request child cancellation -> inspect spans
 after: request child cancellation -> await completion -> inspect spans
```
