0086d38f58 .NET: [BREAKING] Workflows API Review Naming Changes (Part 1?) (#4090)
* refactor: Normalize Run/RunStreaming with AIAgent

* refactor: Clarify Session vs. Run -level concepts

* Rename RunId to SessionId to better match Run/Session terminology in AIAgent
* [BREAKING]: Will break existing checkpointed sessions in CosmosDb due to field rename

* refactor: Rename and simplify interface around getting typed data out of ExternalRequest/Response

* Also adds hints around using value types in PortableValue

* refactor: Rename AddFanInEdge to AddFanInBarrierEdge

This will prevent a breaking change later when we introduce a programmable FanIn edge, analogous to the FanOut edge's EdgeSelector.

The goal, in the long run is to support a number of different FanIn scenarios, with naive FanIn (no barrier) by default, similar to FanOut.

* refactor: AsAgent(this Workflow, ...) => AsAIAgent(...)

* misc - part1: SwitchBuilder internal

Jacob AlberandGitHub c73bd87503 [BREAKING] .NET: Decouple Checkpointing from Run/StreamAsync APIs (#4037)
* [BREAKING] refactor: Decouple Checkpointing and Execution APIs

With this change, Checkpointing becomes an property of an IWorkflowExecutionEnvironment. This lets environments that are tightly-coupled to their CheckpointManager avoid needing to present APIs that would not work (e.g. taking in an InMemory CheckpointManager for Durable Tasks, for example)

* refactor: Normalize IsCheckpointingEnabled naming

Jacob AlberandGitHub 6a39d5a652 .NET: BREAKING: Unify AgentResponse[Update] events as WorkflowOutputEvents (#3441)

  specific event types for AgentResponse and AgentResponseUpdate, bypassing
  OutputFilter for backwards compatibility
- Update TestRunContext and TestWorkflowContext with same special-casing
- Add regression tests in AgentEventsTests

* refactor: Seal AgentResponse events

Jacob AlberandGitHub 4940d0ef36 fix: Subworkflows do not work well with HostAsAgent (#3240)
Subworkflows run into issues with Checkpointing and the Chat Protocol:

* The concurrency rework made subtle changes in behaviour that introduced a hang when using subworkflows with ChatProtocol and streaming execution.
* The ResetAsync() implementation in WorkflowHostExecutor was improperly resetting the joinContext - this was happening on restore checkpoint _after_ the join context was attached when
* Subworkflows cannot be used as the start node when hosted AsAgent due to inability to treat Catch-All as a Chat Protocol
* Subworkflow ownership issue when used in non-concurrent mode after finishing a run

Also fixes:
* When ChatMessages are output by executors that are not agents, there is no corresponding AgentResponseUpdate/AgentResponse event

Breaking Changes
* [BREAKING CHANGE] It is possible to provide the wrong RunId when resuming from CheckpointInfo (even though the data already exists on CheckpointInfo)

Jacob AlberandGitHub 899d8ff775 fix: .NET: Concurrency Support for Orchestrations (#1689)
Concurrent run support was recently added to workflows, but Orchestrations did not fully update to support it. A few executors were missing Cross-Run Shareable annotations, and the ConcurrentEnd executor needed to be factory-instantiated.

This also ports the fix for #1613 from #1637, to avoid waiting on that PR.

* Updates to async run loop.

* fix: Workflow Onwership can be release by nonowner

* fix: Incorrect handling of blockOnPending in StreamingRun

Depending on whether we are running in streaming on non-streaming mode, we may be using the StreamingRun in different ways. Unfortunately, the only place we can really know what is the actual state of execution is in the RunEventStream implementations.

This resulted in blocking where blocking was unneeded and occasionally not-blocking when blocking was needed.

The fix is to move the logic of handling this blocking into RunEventStream implementations.

* fix: Fix cleanup on error and end run

This ensures we clean up the background resources correctly.

* fix: Ensure we let the run loop proceed when shutting down

* fix: Add timeout for Input Waiting

* fix: Make the samples properly clean up `Run`s and `StreamingRun`s

* fix: Simplify Declarative Workflow Run disposal pattern

* Also fixes missing .Disposal() in Integration tests
