Are you fixing a test or adding a new one?

I am fixing a test (readding a previously removed flaky test with a fix)

@amoghrajesh It’s more like a fix, I think, because someone found this test was flaky and just deleted it.
FYI #51737

This PR fixes a flaky unit test
test_serde_serialize_recursion_limitintask-sdk.The test was previously using
sys.getrecursionlimit() - 1to simulate the recursion depth. However, this system limit (often 1000) does not match the internalMAX_RECURSION_DEPTHconstant (which is 10) used in theserializefunction.Because of this mismatch, the
depthcheck inserializepassed (since 999 != 10), causing the function to attempt to serialize the emptyobject(), resulting in aTypeErrorinstead of the expectedRecursionError.Verification
Ran the test locally with
pytestand it passed:Changes:
