added a commit: refine standalone activity encyclopedia and eval pages.

note there's a placeholder for CLI download URL users will need to use. We'll want to make sure that's used consistently in the dev guides too.

links to the SDK dev guides (Go/Python) are also broken until those other PRs land

- Priority and fairness - multi-tenant fairness, weighted priority tiers, and safeguards against starvation of lower-weighted tasks
- Visibility - list Activity Executions and view status, retry count, and last error
- Manual completion by ID (or token): ignore activity return and wait for external completion
- Activity metrics - including counts for success, failure, timeout, and cancel
