Consolidating all Flaky Test issues into one single issue

Tracking: Flaky Tests and CI Reliability

This is a consolidated tracking issue for all known flaky test and CI reliability problems in the Java SDK. Flaky tests erode confidence in CI, slow down PR merges, and waste maintainer time on re-runs.

Problem Areas

1. Flaky Integration Tests (#725)

The original umbrella issue. Multiple integration tests have historically been unreliable, causing spurious CI failures across different test suites.

2. CI Build Step Failure — App Stop Race Condition (#1258)

The CI build sometimes fails because dapr stop is called on an app that has already exited. The error couldn't find app id causes the build step to fail even though the test itself passed. Failing to stop an already-exited app should not fail the build.

3. Flaky Actor Tests (#1321)

Actor integration tests intermittently fail in CI. Linked CI run: https://github.com/dapr/java-sdk/actions/runs/14605088504/job/40972206420?pr=1235

4. Flaky Jobs Test — DaprJobsIT.testJobScheduleCreationWithAllParameters (#1367)

This test fails intermittently with:

#1367
#1321
#1258
