 # @temporal-contract/client
 
+## 8.0.0-beta.14
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- 29c8bc3: Run a contract's global activity as a **standalone activity**, with no workflow around it (Temporal Server ≥ 1.32):
+
+  ```ts
+  const result = await client.for(pdfContract).executeActivity("renderInvoice", {
+    activityId: `invoice-${invoiceId}`,
+    args: { invoiceId },
+  });
+  ```
+
+  `ContractClient` gains `startActivity`, `executeActivity` and `getActivityHandle`. The task queue comes from the contract, `args` is validated before the start, and the result is parsed against the output schema. The handle's `result()` decodes the activity's declared errors into typed `ContractError`s and reports the outcomes as first-class errors: `ActivityCancelledError`, `ActivityTerminatedError`, `ActivityTimeoutError`, otherwise `ActivityFailedError`. `describe`, `cancel` and `terminate` err with `ActivityExecutionNotFoundError`, and a duplicate start with `ActivityAlreadyStartedError`. The activity's contract-level `activityOptions` are the call's defaults, and the merged options need a per-attempt and a total bound. New pattern groups: `ACTIVITY_START_PATTERNS`, `ACTIVITY_RESULT_PATTERNS`, `ACTIVITY_EXECUTE_PATTERNS`.
+
+  The worker side needs nothing new: `declareActivitiesHandler` already registers each activity under its name on the contract's queue.

 # @temporal-contract/worker
 
+## 8.0.0-beta.14
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- 29c8bc3: `context.executeActivity(contract, activityName, { args, ...options })` calls a global activity of any contract on **that contract's task queue**, typically an activity-only contract served by a dedicated worker pool:
+
+  ```ts
+  const { url } = await propagateFailure(
+    context.executeActivity(pdfContract, "renderInvoice", { args: { invoiceId } }),
+  );
+  ```
+
+  The queue name is written once, on the contract whose worker polls it, instead of in an `activityOptionsByName` entry per calling workflow (#452). The call validates and classifies like `context.activities.X`. Options merge `declareWorkflow`'s `activityOptions` → the activity's contract-level `activityOptions` → the per-call options, and must carry a per-attempt and a total bound.
