How to heartbeat an Activity in Python

To Heartbeat an Activity Execution in Python, use the heartbeat() API.

@activity.defn
async def your_activity_definition() -> str:
    activity.heartbeat("heartbeat details!")

In addition to obtaining cancellation information, Heartbeats also support detail data that persists on the server for retrieval during Activity retry. If an Activity calls heartbeat(123, 456) and then fails and is retried, heartbeat_details returns an iterable containing 123 and 456 on the next Run.
