I wonder if Nexus services should be in a separate place. We don't have a best practice since this is the first one, but maybe a nexus-services/ top-level dir?

Not sure we have to follow our gRPC naming here. We don't have a best practice since this is the first one, but I think just WorkerControlService is fine or TemporalWorkerControlService (task queue is enough to keep things separated) and similar file name

We don't have a best practice since this is the first one, but I think camelCase is reasonable, e.g. cancelActivities

description: >
Cancels running activities on a worker. The server sends this when
activities need to be cancelled (e.g., workflow cancellation or
explicit activity cancellation).

I think we should consider using JSON schema here and no protos (but if we must use protos, we should reference all languages)

output:
$goRef: "go.temporal.io/api/worker/v1.CancelActivitiesResponse"
