Checklist

Stability

• Breaking changes are marked with 💥 in the PR title and release notes
• Changes to JSON output (-o json / -o jsonl) are treated as breaking changes

Design

• This feature does not depend on Cloud-only APIs or behavior (it works against an OSS server)
• New commands follow temporal <noun> <verb> structure (e.g. temporal workflow start)
• New flags are named after the API concept, not the implementation mechanism (good: --search-attribute, bad: --index-field)
• New flags don't duplicate an existing flag that serves the same purpose
• New flags do not have short aliases without strong justification
• Experimental features are marked with (Experimental) in commands.yaml

Help text (see style guide at the top of commands.yaml)

• All flags shown in help text and examples are implemented and functional
• Summaries use sentence case and have no trailing period
• Long descriptions end with a period and include at least one example invocation
• Examples use long flags (--namespace, not -n), one flag per line
• Placeholder values use YourXxx form (YourWorkflowId, YourNamespace)

Behavior

• Results go to stdout; errors and warnings go to stderr
• Error messages are lowercase with no trailing punctuation

Tests

• Added functional test(s) (SharedServerSuite)
• Added unit test(s) (func TestXxx) where applicable

Pull request overview

This PR adds consistent rendering of Nexus-style link URLs in CLI “describe” outputs, extending link rendering to activity describe and nexus operation describe, and refactoring callback rendering into shared helpers.

Changes:

• Add shared helpers to convert/print Temporal common links as Nexus URL strings and reuse them across commands.
• Refactor workflow/activity callback rendering into a single shared printCallbacks implementation (including callback URL, trigger, links, state, etc.).
• Add unit tests covering link conversion and link/callback rendering; update a batch JSON expectation for the operation type string.

This isn't my change, it should be fixed but I think it should be in a separate PR since this will touch a lot of files

mostly looking for a before and after. keep in mind I'm not up to speed on everything nexus or activities.
