  "how": {
    "incantation": "When using a dev server, the required Standalone Activity dynamic config is enabled automatically; on a self-hosted server, enable `EnableChasm` and `activity.Enabled` manually. Then use `temporal activity` commands to start or execute an activity, inspect or query it, and wait for its result or cancel or terminate it.",
    "examples": [
      "temporal activity start --activity-id <activity-id> --type <activity-type> --task-queue <task-queue> --start-to-close-timeout 5m --input '<json-input>'",
      "temporal activity execute --activity-id <activity-id> --type <activity-type> --task-queue <task-queue> --start-to-close-timeout 30s --input '<json-input>'",
      "temporal activity result --activity-id <activity-id>"
    ],
    "gotchas": [
      "Version: v1.7.0",
      "Availability: Experimental",
      "--activity-id <id> (required): Identifies the Standalone Activity; used to start it and reference it for result, describe, cancel, or terminate.",
      "--type <activity-type> (required): Activity type to start or execute.",
      "--task-queue <task-queue> (required): Task Queue for the activity.",
      "--start-to-close-timeout <duration> (required): Start-to-close timeout; the documented start example uses `5m`, execute uses `30s`.",
      "--input <json>: Activity input payload; repeatable payload-input option.",
      "--run-id <id>: Activity Run ID for standalone activity references; if omitted, the latest run is used.",
      "--query <visibility-query>: Filters activities for `list` or `count`.",
      "--reason <text>: Cancellation or termination reason; termination defaults to a message with the current user's name.",
      "EnableChasm (required): Server dynamic config required for Standalone Activity support; dev server enables it automatically.",
      "activity.Enabled (required): Server dynamic config required for Standalone Activity support; dev server enables it automatically.",
      "Prerequisite: The release labels Standalone Activity support Experimental.",
      "Prerequisite: For self-hosted deployments, enable `EnableChasm` and `activity.Enabled`; `temporal server start-dev` enables both automatically.",
      "For self-hosted server deployments, `EnableChasm` and `activity.Enabled` must be enabled manually.",
      "The release says these flags will be on by default starting in server v1.32.",
      "Docs conflict: Current Temporal documentation says Standalone Activities require CLI v1.9.1+ and Server v1.32.0+. That documentation describes newer versions; the v1.7.0 release says the flags will become default in Server v1.32, so its self-hosted setup requirement is retained here."
