* fix: Add session support for Handoff-hosted Agents
In order to better support using `Workflows` hosted as `AIAgents` inside of Handoff workflows, we need to make proper use of AgentSession. This causes potential issues around checkpointing and making sure that we properly compute only the new incoming messages for each agent invocation.
* fix: AgentSession checkpointing using AIAgent's Serialize/Deserialize methods
We cannot rely on implicit serialization through `HandoffHostState` because we are missing type information.
* fix: Thread safety issue in `MultiPartyConversation.AllMessages`
* fix: Enable unwrapping of FunctionResultContent when ExternalRequest was wrapped into FunctionCallContent
* feat: Implement return-to-previous routing in handoff workflow
- Also obsoletes HandoffsWorkflowBuilder => HandoffWorkflowBuilder (no "s")
* refactor: Remove instance-shared current agent tracking in handoffs
Because the tracker was instance-shared between the start and end executors, it would be shared between all sessions, resulting in incorrect behaviour.
The corect way to do this is to keep the data in a shared executor scope, which is per-session.
* fix: Fix test logic for Handoff to correctly use checkpointing for multiturn
* 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(...)

* [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)

* Update test agents to return a default json element instead of throwing where the the result of the serialization is never used.
* Update further tests to actually serialize the session
Adds tests documenting current shared state behavior in subworkflows:
- State works correctly within a subworkflow
- State is isolated across parent/subworkflow boundaries
Related to #2419
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)
* Upgrade to .NET 10
- Require .NET 10 SDK
- Include net10.0 assets in all assemblies
- Move net9.0-only targets to net10.0
- Update LangVersion to latest
- Remove complicated distinctions between debug target TFMs and release target TFMs
- Remove unnecessary package dependencies when built into netcoreapp
- Clean up some ifdefs
- Clean up some analyzer warnings
* Fix CI
* [BREAKING] refactor: Normalize WorkflowBuilder APIs
* "partitioner" => "assigner"
* normalize ordering so sources always to the left of targets for edges
* normalize parameter ordering so sources and targets are always first arguments
* remove `params` (users should use collection expressions instead)
* refactor: Align name with Python
* refactor: Unify ExecutorIsh and ExecutorRegistration => ExecutorBinding
* Switch to more modern Record type-tree for Sum Types
* Unify APIs for getting ExecutorBinding
* Fix an issue where workflows consisting entirely of cross-run shareable executors which are not instance-resettable do not properly clear state when running non-concurrently.
* feat: Simplify function-to-executor pattern
* refactor: Normalize API naming
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.
Remove input type checking in favour of explicit `.DescribeProtocolAsync()` flow. Also removes `.AsAgentAsync()` as the validation happens at workflow run time. This makes it easier to use Workflows with DI without resorting to async-over-sync.
* refactor: remove unused internals
* feat: Execution Mode for sharing a workflow among concurrent runs
* feat: Update WorkflowHostAgent to support concurrent execution
* Also update AsAgent APIs to support injecting a CheckpointManager and an IWorkflowExecutionEnvironment
* fix: Make Read logic consistent in DeclarativeWorkflowContext
* 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
