fix(framework): Explicitly exit workflow evaluation early after evaluating specified stepId

[rifont]

What changed? Why was the change needed?

• For workflows with 2 or more steps, internal framework client code was being executed after the executing the specified stepId which resulted in a misleading log of Failed to hydrate stepId. This change adds an explicit check (a Promise cancellation token) to exit step evaluation early when the workflow is expected to conclude, preventing any further code execution including the misleading log. This approach is necessary whilst Node.js doesn't provide a native Promise cancellation API (which is a planned feature).
• chore: remove ora dependency which provided a nice local Studio DX, but ultimately doesn't provide enough value for the size of an extra package. It's dependencies may also be incompatible with some serverless environments like Cloudflare. It also simplifies the test assertion.
