Update CHANGELOG.md (#3109) * Bump Bedrock version to latest (#3110) * Python: Fix MCP tool result serialization for list[TextContent] (#2523) * Fix MCP tool result serialization for list[TextContent] When MCP tools return results containing list[TextContent], they were incorrectly serialized to object repr strings like: '[<agent_framework._types.TextContent object at 0x...>]' This fix properly extracts text content from list items by: 1. Checking if items have a 'text' attribute (TextContent) 2. Using model_dump() for items that support it 3. Falling back to str() for other types 4. Joining single items as plain text, multiple items as JSON array Fixes #2509 * Address PR review feedback for MCP tool result serialization - Extract serialize_content_result() to shared _utils.py - Fix logic: use texts[0] instead of join for single item - Add type annotation: texts: list[str] = [] - Return empty string for empty list instead of '[]' - Move import json to file top level - Add comprehensive unit tests for serialization * Address PR review feedback: fix type checking and double serialization - Add isinstance(item.text, str) check to ensure text attribute is a string - Fix double-serialization issue by keeping model_dump results as dicts until final json.dumps (removes escaped JSON strings in arrays) - Improve docstring with detailed return value documentation - Add test for non-string text attribute handling - Add tests for list type tool results in _events.py path * Simplify PR: minimal changes to fix MCP tool result serialization Addresses reviewer feedback about excessive refactoring: - Reset _events.py to original structure - Only add import and use serialize_content_result in one location - All review comments addressed in serialize_content_result(): - Added isinstance(item.text, str) check - Use model_dump(mode="json") to avoid double-serialization - Improved docstring with explicit return value documentation - Empty list returns "" instead of "[]" * Refactor: Move MCP TextContent serialization to core prepare_function_call_results Per reviewer feedback, moved the TextContent serialization logic from ag-ui's serialize_content_result to the core package's prepare_function_call_results function. Changes: - Added handling for objects with 'text' attribute (like MCP TextContent) in _prepare_function_call_results_as_dumpable - Removed serialize_content_result from ag-ui/_utils.py - Updated _events.py and _message_adapters.py to use prepare_function_call_results from core package - Updated tests to match the core function's behavior * Fix failing tests for prepare_function_call_results behavior - test_tool_result_with_none: Update expected value to 'null' (JSON serialization of None) - test_tool_result_with_model_dump_objects: Use Pydantic BaseModel instead of plain class * Fix B903 linter error: Convert MockTextContent to dataclass The ruff linter was reporting B903 (class could be dataclass or namedtuple) for the MockTextContent test helper classes. This commit converts them to dataclasses to satisfy the linter check. * Python: Improve DevUI, add Context Inspector view as new tab under traces (#2742) * Improve DevUI, add Context Inspector view as new tab under traces * fix mypy errors * fix: Handle stale MCP connections in DevUI executor MCP tools can become stale when HTTP streaming responses end - the underlying stdio streams close but `is_connected` remains True. This causes subsequent requests to fail with `ClosedResourceError`. Add `_ensure_mcp_connections()` to detect and reconnect stale MCP tools before agent execution. This is a workaround for an upstream Agent Framework issue where connection state isn't properly tracked. Fixes MCP tools failing on second HTTP request in DevUI. fixes #1476 #1515 #2865 * fix #1572 report import dependency errors more clearly * Ensure there is streaming toggle where users can select streaming vs non streaming mode in devui .

This caused ag-ui's `_handle_function_call_content` to emit a `ToolCallStartEvent` for every streaming chunk (since it triggers on `if content.name:`). This fix changes the behavior to pass an empty string for `name` in `input_json_delta` events, matching OpenAI's behavior where streaming argument chunks have `name=""`. The initial `tool_use` event still provides the tool name, so only one `ToolCallStartEvent` is emitted.

+# Single Agent Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use the durable agents extension to create a simple console app that hosts a single AI agent and provides interactive conversation via stdin/stdout.
+
+## Key Concepts Demonstrated
+
+- Using the Microsoft Agent Framework to define a simple AI agent with a name and instructions.
+- Registering durable agents with the console app and running them interactively.
+- Conversation management (via threads) for isolated interactions.
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+See the [README.md](../README.md) file in the parent directory for more information on how to configure the environment, including how to install and run common sample dependencies.
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+With the environment setup, you can run the sample:
+
+```bash
+cd dotnet/samples/DurableAgents/ConsoleApps/01_SingleAgent
+dotnet run --framework net10.0
+```
+
+The app will prompt you for input. You can interact with the Joker agent:
+
+```text
+=== Single Agent Console Sample ===
+Enter a message for the Joker agent (or 'exit' to quit):
+
+You: Tell me a joke about a pirate.
+Joker: Why don't pirates ever learn the alphabet? Because they always get stuck at "C"!
+
+You: Now explain the joke.
+Joker: The joke plays on the word "sea" (C), which pirates are famously associated with...
+
+You: exit
+```
+
+## Scriptable Usage
+
+You can also pipe input to the app for scriptable usage:
+
+```bash
+echo "Tell me a joke about a pirate." | dotnet run
+```
+
+The app will read from stdin, process the input, and write the response to stdout.
+
+## Viewing Agent State
+
+You can view the state of the agent in the Durable Task Scheduler dashboard:
+
+1. Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:8082`
+2. In the dashboard, you can view the state of the Joker agent, including its conversation history and current state
+
+The agent maintains conversation state across multiple interactions, and you can inspect this state in the dashboard to understand how the durable agents extension manages conversation context.

+# Single Agent Orchestration Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use the durable agents extension to create a simple console app that orchestrates sequential calls to a single AI agent using the same conversation thread for context continuity.
+
+## Key Concepts Demonstrated
+
+- Orchestrating multiple interactions with the same agent in a deterministic order
+- Using the same `AgentThread` across multiple calls to maintain conversational context
+- Durable orchestration with automatic checkpointing and resumption from failures
+- Waiting for orchestration completion using `WaitForInstanceCompletionAsync`
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+See the [README.md](../README.md) file in the parent directory for more information on how to configure the environment, including how to install and run common sample dependencies.
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+With the environment setup, you can run the sample:
+
+```bash
+cd dotnet/samples/DurableAgents/ConsoleApps/02_AgentOrchestration_Chaining
+dotnet run --framework net10.0
+```
+
+The app will start the orchestration, wait for it to complete, and display the result:
+
+```text
+=== Single Agent Orchestration Chaining Sample ===
+Starting orchestration...
+
+Orchestration started with instance ID: 86313f1d45fb42eeb50b1852626bf3ff
+Waiting for completion...
+
+✓ Orchestration completed successfully!
+
+Result: Learning serves as the key, opening doors to boundless opportunities and a brighter future.
+```
+
+The orchestration will proceed to run the WriterAgent twice in sequence:
+
+1. First, it writes an inspirational sentence about learning
+2. Then, it refines the initial output using the same conversation thread
+
+## Viewing Orchestration State
+
+You can view the state of the orchestration in the Durable Task Scheduler dashboard:
+
+1. Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:8082`
+2. In the dashboard, you can see:
+   - **Orchestrations**: View the orchestration instance, including its runtime status, input, output, and execution history
+   - **Agents**: View the state of the WriterAgent, including conversation history maintained across the orchestration steps
+
+The orchestration instance ID is displayed in the console output. You can use this ID to find the specific orchestration in the dashboard and inspect its execution details, including the sequence of agent calls and their results.

+# Multi-Agent Concurrent Orchestration Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use the durable agents extension to create a console app that orchestrates concurrent execution of multiple AI agents using durable orchestration.
+
+## Key Concepts Demonstrated
+
+- Running multiple agents concurrently in a single orchestration
+- Using `Task.WhenAll` to wait for concurrent agent executions
+- Combining results from multiple agents into a single response
+- Waiting for orchestration completion using `WaitForInstanceCompletionAsync`
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+See the [README.md](../README.md) file in the parent directory for more information on how to configure the environment, including how to install and run common sample dependencies.
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+With the environment setup, you can run the sample:
+
+```bash
+cd dotnet/samples/DurableAgents/ConsoleApps/03_AgentOrchestration_Concurrency
+dotnet run --framework net10.0
+```
+
+The app will prompt you for a question:
+
+```text
+=== Multi-Agent Concurrent Orchestration Sample ===
+Enter a question for the agents:
+
+What is temperature?
+```
+
+The orchestration will run both agents concurrently and display their responses:
+
+```text
+Orchestration started with instance ID: 86313f1d45fb42eeb50b1852626bf3ff
+Waiting for completion...
+
+✓ Orchestration completed successfully!
+
+Physicist's response:
+Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a system...
+
+Chemist's response:
+From a chemistry perspective, temperature is crucial for chemical reactions...
+```
+
+Both agents run in parallel, and the orchestration waits for both to complete before returning the combined results.
+
+## Viewing Orchestration State
+
+You can view the state of the orchestration in the Durable Task Scheduler dashboard:
+
+1. Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:8082`
+2. In the dashboard, you can see:
+   - **Orchestrations**: View the orchestration instance, including its runtime status, input, output, and execution history
+   - **Agents**: View the state of both the PhysicistAgent and ChemistAgent, including their individual conversation histories
+
+The orchestration instance ID is displayed in the console output. You can use this ID to find the specific orchestration in the dashboard and inspect how the concurrent agent executions were coordinated, including the timing of when each agent started and completed.
+
+## Scriptable Usage
+
+You can also pipe input to the app:
+
+```bash
+echo "What is temperature?" | dotnet run
+```

+# Multi-Agent Conditional Orchestration Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use the durable agents extension to create a console app that orchestrates multiple AI agents with conditional logic based on the results of previous agent interactions.
+
+## Key Concepts Demonstrated
+
+- Multi-agent orchestration with conditional branching
+- Using agent responses to determine workflow paths
+- Activity functions for non-agent operations
+- Waiting for orchestration completion using `WaitForInstanceCompletionAsync`
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+See the [README.md](../README.md) file in the parent directory for more information on how to configure the environment, including how to install and run common sample dependencies.
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+With the environment setup, you can run the sample:
+
+```bash
+cd dotnet/samples/DurableAgents/ConsoleApps/04_AgentOrchestration_Conditionals
+dotnet run --framework net10.0
+```
+
+The app will prompt you for email content. You can test both legitimate emails and spam emails:
+
+### Testing with a Legitimate Email
+
+```text
+=== Multi-Agent Conditional Orchestration Sample ===
+Enter email content:
+
+Hi John, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to follow up on our meeting yesterday about the quarterly report. Could you please send me the updated figures by Friday? Thanks!
+```
+
+The orchestration will analyze the email and display the result:
+
+```text
+Orchestration started with instance ID: 86313f1d45fb42eeb50b1852626bf3ff
+Waiting for completion...
+
+✓ Orchestration completed successfully!
+
+Result: Email sent: Thank you for your email. I'll prepare the updated figures...
+```
+
+### Testing with a Spam Email
+
+```text
+=== Multi-Agent Conditional Orchestration Sample ===
+Enter email content:
+
+URGENT! You've won $1,000,000! Click here now to claim your prize! Limited time offer! Don't miss out!
+```
+
+The orchestration will detect it as spam and display:
+
+```text
+Orchestration started with instance ID: 86313f1d45fb42eeb50b1852626bf3ff
+Waiting for completion...
+
+✓ Orchestration completed successfully!
+
+Result: Email marked as spam: Contains suspicious claims about winning money and urgent action requests...
+```
+
+## Scriptable Usage
+
+You can also pipe email content to the app:
+
+```bash
+# Test with a legitimate email
+echo "Hi John, I hope you're doing well..." | dotnet run
+
+# Test with a spam email
+echo "URGENT! You've won $1,000,000! Click here now!" | dotnet run
+```
+
+The orchestration will proceed as follows:
+
+1. The SpamDetectionAgent analyzes the email to determine if it's spam
+2. Based on the result:
+   - If spam: The orchestration calls the `HandleSpamEmail` activity function
+   - If not spam: The EmailAssistantAgent drafts a response, then the `SendEmail` activity function is called
+
+## Viewing Orchestration State
+
+You can view the state of the orchestration in the Durable Task Scheduler dashboard:
+
+1. Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:8082`
+2. In the dashboard, you can see:

+# Human-in-the-Loop Orchestration Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use the durable agents extension to create a console app that implements a human-in-the-loop workflow using durable orchestration, including interactive approval prompts.
+
+## Key Concepts Demonstrated
+
+- Human-in-the-loop workflows with durable orchestration
+- External event handling for human approval/rejection
+- Timeout handling for approval requests
+- Iterative content refinement based on human feedback
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+See the [README.md](../README.md) file in the parent directory for more information on how to configure the environment, including how to install and run common sample dependencies.
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+With the environment setup, you can run the sample:
+
+```bash
+cd dotnet/samples/DurableAgents/ConsoleApps/05_AgentOrchestration_HITL
+dotnet run --framework net10.0
+```
+
+The app will prompt you for input:
+
+```text
+=== Human-in-the-Loop Orchestration Sample ===
+Enter topic for content generation:
+
+The Future of Artificial Intelligence
+
+Max review attempts (default: 3):
+3
+Approval timeout in hours (default: 72):
+72
+```
+
+The orchestration will generate content and prompt you for approval:
+
+```text
+Orchestration started with instance ID: 86313f1d45fb42eeb50b1852626bf3ff
+
+=== NOTIFICATION: Content Ready for Review ===
+Title: The Future of Artificial Intelligence
+
+Content:
+[Generated content appears here]
+
+Please review the content above and provide your approval.
+
+Content is ready for review. Check the logs above for details.
+Approve? (y/n): n
+Feedback (optional): Please add more details about the ethical implications.
+```
+
+The orchestration will incorporate your feedback and regenerate the content. Once approved, it will publish and complete.
+
+## Viewing Orchestration State
+
+You can view the state of the orchestration in the Durable Task Scheduler dashboard:
+
+1. Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:8082`
+2. In the dashboard, you can see:
+   - **Orchestrations**: View the orchestration instance, including its runtime status, custom status (which shows approval state), input, output, and execution history
+   - **Agents**: View the state of the WriterAgent, including conversation history
+
+The orchestration instance ID is displayed in the console output. You can use this ID to find the specific orchestration in the dashboard and inspect:
+
+- The custom status field, which shows the current state of the approval workflow
+- When the orchestration is waiting for external events
+- The iteration count and feedback history
+- The final published content

+# Long Running Tools Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use the durable agents extension to create a console app with agents that have long running tools. This sample builds on the [05_AgentOrchestration_HITL](../05_AgentOrchestration_HITL) sample by adding a publisher agent that can start and manage content generation workflows. A key difference is that the publisher agent knows the IDs of the workflows it starts, so it can check the status of the workflows and approve or reject them without being explicitly given the context (instance IDs, etc).
+
+## Key Concepts Demonstrated
+
+The same key concepts as the [05_AgentOrchestration_HITL](../05_AgentOrchestration_HITL) sample are demonstrated, but with the following additional concepts:
+
+- **Long running tools**: Using `DurableAgentContext.Current` to start orchestrations from tool calls
+- **Multi-agent orchestration**: Agents can start and manage workflows that orchestrate other agents
+- **Human-in-the-loop (with delegation)**: The agent acts as an intermediary between the human and the workflow. The human remains in the loop, but delegates to the agent to start the workflow and approve or reject the content.
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+See the [README.md](../README.md) file in the parent directory for more information on how to configure the environment, including how to install and run common sample dependencies.
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+With the environment setup, you can run the sample:
+
+```bash
+cd dotnet/samples/DurableAgents/ConsoleApps/06_LongRunningTools
+dotnet run --framework net10.0
+```
+
+The app will prompt you for input. You can interact with the Publisher agent:
+
+```text
+=== Long Running Tools Sample ===
+Enter a topic for the Publisher agent to write about (or 'exit' to quit):
+
+You: Start a content generation workflow for the topic 'The Future of Artificial Intelligence'
+Publisher: The content generation workflow for the topic "The Future of Artificial Intelligence" has been successfully started, and the instance ID is **6a04276e8d824d8d941e1dc4142cc254**. If you need any further assistance or updates on the workflow, feel free to ask!
+```
+
+Behind the scenes, the publisher agent will:
+
+1. Start the content generation workflow via a tool call
+2. The workflow will generate initial content using the Writer agent and wait for human approval, which will be visible in the terminal
+
+Once the workflow is waiting for human approval, you can send approval or rejection by prompting the publisher agent accordingly.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> You must press Enter after each message to continue the conversation. The sample is set up this way because the workflow is running in the background and may write to the console asynchronously.
+
+To tell the agent to rewrite the content with feedback, you can prompt it to reject the content with feedback.
+
+```text
+You: Reject the content with feedback: The article needs more technical depth and better examples.
+Publisher: The content has been successfully rejected with the feedback: "The article needs more technical depth and better examples." The workflow will now generate new content based on this feedback.
+```
+
+Once you're satisfied with the content, you can approve it for publishing.
+
+```text
+You: Approve the content
+Publisher: The content has been successfully approved for publishing. If you need any more assistance or have further requests, feel free to let me know!
+```
+
+Once the workflow has completed, you can get the status by prompting the publisher agent to give you the status.
+
+```text
+You: Get the status of the workflow you previously started
+Publisher: The status of the workflow with instance ID **6a04276e8d824d8d941e1dc4142cc254** is as follows:
+
+- **Execution Status:** Completed
+- **Created At:** December 22, 2025, 23:08:13 UTC
+- **Last Updated At:** December 22, 2025, 23:09:59 UTC
+- **Workflow Status:** 
+  - Message: Content published successfully at December 22, 2025, 23:09:59 UTC
+  - Human Feedback: Approved
+```
+
+## Viewing Agent and Orchestration State
+
+You can view the state of both the agent and the orchestrations it starts in the Durable Task Scheduler dashboard:
+
+1. Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:8082`
+2. In the dashboard, you can see:
+   - **Agents**: View the state of the Publisher agent, including its conversation history and tool call history
+   - **Orchestrations**: View the content generation orchestration instances that were started by the agent via tool calls, including their runtime status, custom status, input, output, and execution history
+
+When the publisher agent starts a workflow, the orchestration instance ID is included in the agent's response. You can use this ID to find the specific orchestration in the dashboard and inspect:
+
+- The orchestration's execution progress
+- When it's waiting for human approval (visible in custom status)
+- The content generation workflow state
+- The WriterAgent state within the orchestration
+
+This demonstrates how agents can manage long-running workflows and how you can monitor both the agent's state and the workflows it orchestrates.

+# Reliable Streaming with Redis
+
+This sample demonstrates how to implement reliable streaming for durable agents using Redis Streams as a message broker. It enables clients to disconnect and reconnect to ongoing agent responses without losing messages, inspired by [OpenAI's background mode](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/background) for the Responses API.
+
+## Key Concepts Demonstrated
+
+- **Reliable message delivery**: Agent responses are persisted to Redis Streams, allowing clients to resume from any point
+- **Real-time streaming**: Chunks are printed to stdout as they arrive (like `tail -f`)
+- **Cursor-based resumption**: Each chunk includes an entry ID that can be used to resume the stream
+- **Fire-and-forget agent invocation**: The agent runs in the background while the client streams from Redis
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+See the [README.md](../README.md) file in the parent directory for more information on how to configure the environment, including how to install and run common sample dependencies.
+
+### Additional Requirements: Redis
+
+This sample requires a Redis instance. Start a local Redis instance using Docker:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name redis -p 6379:6379 redis:latest
+```
+
+To verify Redis is running:
+
+```bash
+docker ps | grep redis
+```
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+With the environment setup, you can run the sample:
+
+```bash
+cd dotnet/samples/DurableAgents/ConsoleApps/07_ReliableStreaming
+dotnet run --framework net10.0
+```
+
+The app will prompt you for a travel planning request:
+
+```text
+=== Reliable Streaming Sample ===
+Enter a travel planning request (or 'exit' to quit):
+
+You: Plan a 7-day trip to Tokyo, Japan for next month. Include daily activities, restaurant recommendations, and tips for getting around.
+```
+
+The agent's response will stream to your console in real-time as chunks arrive from Redis:
+
+```text
+Starting new conversation: @dafx-travelplanner@a1b2c3d4e5f67890abcdef1234567890
+Press [Enter] to interrupt the stream.
+
+TravelPlanner: # 7-Day Tokyo Adventure
+
+## Day 1: Arrival and Exploration
+...
+```
+
+### Demonstrating Stream Interruption and Resumption
+
+This is the key feature of reliable streaming. Follow these steps to see it in action:
+
+1. **Start a stream**: Run the app and enter a travel planning request
+2. **Note the conversation ID**: The conversation ID is displayed at the start of the stream (e.g., `Starting new conversation: @dafx-travelplanner@a1b2c3d4e5f67890abcdef1234567890`)
+3. **Interrupt the stream**: While the agent is still generating text, press **`Enter`** to interrupt. The agent continues running in the background - your messages are being saved to Redis.
+4. **Resume the stream**: Press **`Enter`** again to reconnect and resume the stream from the last cursor position. The app will automatically resume from where it left off.
+
+```text
+Starting new conversation: @dafx-travelplanner@a1b2c3d4e5f67890abcdef1234567890
+Press [Enter] to interrupt the stream.
+
+TravelPlanner: # 7-Day Tokyo Adventure
+
+## Day 1: Arrival and Exploration
+[Streaming content...]
+
+[Press Enter to interrupt]
+Stream cancelled. Press [Enter] to reconnect and resume the stream from the last cursor.
+Last cursor: 1734567890123-0
+
+[Press Enter to resume]
+Resuming conversation: @dafx-travelplanner@a1b2c3d4e5f67890abcdef1234567890 from cursor: 1734567890123-0
+
+[Stream continues from where it left off...]
+```
+
+## Viewing Agent State
+
+You can view the state of the agent in the Durable Task Scheduler dashboard:
+
+1. Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:8082`
+2. In the dashboard, you can see:
+   - **Agents**: View the state of the TravelPlanner agent, including conversation history and current state
+   - **Orchestrations**: View any orchestrations that may have been triggered by the agent
+
+The conversation ID displayed in the console output (shown as "Starting new conversation: {conversationId}") corresponds to the agent's conversation thread. You can use this to identify the agent in the dashboard and inspect:
+
+- The agent's conversation state
+- Tool calls made by the agent (weather and events lookups)
+- The streaming response state
+
+Note that while the console app streams responses from Redis, the agent state in DTS shows the underlying durable agent execution, including all tool calls and conversation context.

+```
+
+### Data Flow
+
+1. **Client sends prompt**: The console app reads the prompt from stdin and generates a new agent thread.
+
+2. **Agent invoked**: The durable agent is signaled to run the travel planner agent. This is fire-and-forget from the console app's perspective.
+
+3. **Responses captured**: As the agent generates responses, the `RedisStreamResponseHandler` (implementing `IAgentResponseHandler`) extracts the text from each `AgentRunResponseUpdate` and publishes it to a Redis Stream keyed by the agent session's conversation ID.
+
+4. **Client polls Redis**: The console app streams events by polling the Redis Stream and printing chunks to stdout as they arrive.
+
+5. **Resumption**: If the client interrupts the stream (e.g., by pressing Enter in the sample), it can resume from the last cursor position by providing the conversation ID and cursor to the call to resume the stream.
+
+## Message Delivery Guarantees
+
+This sample provides **at-least-once delivery** with the following characteristics:
+
+- **Durability**: Messages are persisted to Redis Streams with configurable TTL (default: 10 minutes).
+- **Ordering**: Messages are delivered in order within a session.
+- **Real-time**: Chunks are printed as soon as they arrive from Redis.
+
+### Important Considerations
+
+- **No exactly-once delivery**: If a client disconnects exactly when receiving a message, it may receive that message again upon resumption. Clients should handle duplicate messages idempotently.
+- **TTL expiration**: Streams expire after the configured TTL. Clients cannot resume streams that have expired.
+- **Redis guarantees**: Redis streams are backed by Redis persistence mechanisms (RDB/AOF). Ensure your Redis instance is configured for durability as needed.
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Environment Variable | Description | Default |
+|---------------------|-------------|---------|
+| `REDIS_CONNECTION_STRING` | Redis connection string | `localhost:6379` |
+| `REDIS_STREAM_TTL_MINUTES` | How long streams are retained after last write | `10` |
+| `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT` | Azure OpenAI endpoint URL | (required) |
+| `AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT` | Azure OpenAI deployment name | (required) |
+| `AZURE_OPENAI_KEY` | API key (optional, uses Azure CLI auth if not set) | (optional) |
+

+# Console App Samples
+
+This directory contains samples for console app hosting of durable agents. These samples use standard I/O (stdin/stdout) for interaction, making them both interactive and scriptable.
+
+- **[01_SingleAgent](01_SingleAgent)**: A sample that demonstrates how to host a single conversational agent in a console app and interact with it via stdin/stdout.
+- **[02_AgentOrchestration_Chaining](02_AgentOrchestration_Chaining)**: A sample that demonstrates how to host a single conversational agent in a console app and invoke it using a durable orchestration.
+- **[03_AgentOrchestration_Concurrency](03_AgentOrchestration_Concurrency)**: A sample that demonstrates how to host multiple agents in a console app and run them concurrently using a durable orchestration.
+- **[04_AgentOrchestration_Conditionals](04_AgentOrchestration_Conditionals)**: A sample that demonstrates how to host multiple agents in a console app and run them sequentially using a durable orchestration with conditionals.
+- **[05_AgentOrchestration_HITL](05_AgentOrchestration_HITL)**: A sample that demonstrates how to implement a human-in-the-loop workflow using durable orchestration, including interactive approval prompts.
+- **[06_LongRunningTools](06_LongRunningTools)**: A sample that demonstrates how agents can start and interact with durable orchestrations from tool calls to enable long-running tool scenarios.
+- **[07_ReliableStreaming](07_ReliableStreaming)**: A sample that demonstrates how to implement reliable streaming for durable agents using Redis Streams, enabling clients to disconnect and reconnect without losing messages.
+
+## Running the Samples
+
+These samples are designed to be run locally in a cloned repository.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+The following prerequisites are required to run the samples:
+
+- [.NET 10.0 SDK or later](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet)
+- [Azure CLI](https://learn.microsoft.com/cli/azure/install-azure-cli) installed and authenticated (`az login`) or an API key for the Azure OpenAI service
+- [Azure OpenAI Service](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-services/openai/how-to/create-resource) with a deployed model (gpt-4o-mini or better is recommended)
+- [Durable Task Scheduler](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-functions/durable/durable-task-scheduler/develop-with-durable-task-scheduler) (local emulator or Azure-hosted)
+- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) installed if running the Durable Task Scheduler emulator locally
+- [Redis](https://redis.io/) (for sample 07 only) - can be run locally using Docker
+
+### Configuring RBAC Permissions for Azure OpenAI
+
+These samples are configured to use the Azure OpenAI service with RBAC permissions to access the model. You'll need to configure the RBAC permissions for the Azure OpenAI service to allow the console app to access the model.
+
+Below is an example of how to configure the RBAC permissions for the Azure OpenAI service to allow the current user to access the model.
+
+Bash (Linux/macOS/WSL):
+
+```bash
+az role assignment create \
+    --assignee "yourname@contoso.com" \
+    --role "Cognitive Services OpenAI User" \
+    --scope /subscriptions/<your-subscription-id>/resourceGroups/<your-resource-group-name>/providers/Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/<your-openai-resource-name>
+```
+
+PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+az role assignment create `
+    --assignee "yourname@contoso.com" `
+    --role "Cognitive Services OpenAI User" `
+    --scope /subscriptions/<your-subscription-id>/resourceGroups/<your-resource-group-name>/providers/Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/<your-openai-resource-name>
+```
+
+More information on how to configure RBAC permissions for Azure OpenAI can be found in the [Azure OpenAI documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-services/openai/how-to/create-resource?pivots=cli).
+
+### Setting an API key for the Azure OpenAI service
+
+As an alternative to configuring Azure RBAC permissions, you can set an API key for the Azure OpenAI service by setting the `AZURE_OPENAI_KEY` environment variable.
+
+Bash (Linux/macOS/WSL):
+
+```bash
+export AZURE_OPENAI_KEY="your-api-key"
+```
+
+PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+$env:AZURE_OPENAI_KEY="your-api-key"
+```
+
+### Start Durable Task Scheduler
+
+Most samples use the Durable Task Scheduler (DTS) to support hosted agents and durable orchestrations. DTS also allows you to view the status of orchestrations and their inputs and outputs from a web UI.
+
+To run the Durable Task Scheduler locally, you can use the following `docker` command:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name dts-emulator -p 8080:8080 -p 8082:8082 mcr.microsoft.com/dts/dts-emulator:latest
+```
+
+The DTS dashboard will be available at `http://localhost:8080`.
+
+### Environment Configuration
+
+Each sample reads configuration from environment variables. You'll need to set the following environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/"
+export AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT="your-deployment-name"
+```
+
+### Running the Console Apps
+
+Navigate to the sample directory and run the console app:
+
+```bash
+cd dotnet/samples/DurableAgents/ConsoleApps/01_SingleAgent
+dotnet run --framework net10.0
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The `--framework` option is required to specify the target framework for the console app because the samples are designed to support multiple target frameworks. If you are using a different target framework, you can specify it with the `--framework` option.
+
+The app will prompt you for input via stdin.
+
+### Viewing the sample output
+
+The console app output is displayed directly in the terminal where you ran `dotnet run`. Agent responses are printed to stdout with subtle color coding for better readability.
+
+You can also see the state of agents and orchestrations in the Durable Task Scheduler dashboard at `http://localhost:8082`.

+## Conversation ID vs PreviousResponseId
+
+When working with multi-turn conversations, there are two approaches:
+
+- **With Conversation ID**: By passing a `conversation.Id` to `GetNewThreadAsync()`, the conversation will be visible in the Azure Foundry Project UI. This is useful for tracking and debugging conversations.
+- **Without Conversation ID**: Threads created without a conversation ID still work correctly, maintaining context via `PreviousResponseId`. However, these conversations may not appear in the Foundry UI.

 For a sample demonstrating how to use classic Foundry Agents, see the following: [Agent with Azure AI Persistent](../AgentProviders/Agent_With_AzureAIAgentsPersistent/README.md).

+## Agent Versioning and Static Definitions
+
+One of the key architectural changes in the new Foundry Agents compared to the classic experience is how agent definitions are handled. In the new architecture, agents have **versions** and their definitions are established at creation time. This means that the agent's configuration—including instructions, tools, and options—is fixed when the agent version is created.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Agent versions are static and strictly adhere to their original definition. Any attempt to provide or override tools, instructions, or options during an agent run or request will be ignored by the agent, as the API does not support runtime configuration changes. All agent behavior must be defined at agent creation time.
+
+This design ensures consistency and predictability in agent behavior across all interactions with a specific agent version.
+
+The Agent Framework intentionally ignores unsupported runtime parameters rather than throwing exceptions. This abstraction-first approach ensures that code written against the unified agent abstraction remains portable across providers (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Foundry Agents). It removes the need for provider-specific conditional logic. Teams can adopt Foundry Agents without rewriting existing orchestration code. Configurations that work with other providers will gracefully degrade, rather than fail, when the underlying API does not support them.
