This PR adds a system test for AWS Lambda executor's Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) functionality, addressing a gap in test coverage for Lambda service-level failures.
Before, all Lambda executor system tests only covered the "happy path" where tasks execute successfully (whether the test ultimately passes or fails). However, the Lambda executor has unique handling for cases where the Lambda service itself fails to complete invocation (timeouts, memory limits, crashes, etc.). In these scenarios:
The test uses
executor_configfunctionality (from #53994) to implement a "poison pill" pattern:@task(executor_config={"poison_pill": True})to flag a task for intentional failureTesting: Tested locally on Lambda executor: Confirms complete DLQ flow works correctly
