* 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
* [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
* feat: Implement Polymorphic Routing
* feat: Add support for Send/Yield annotations with basic Executor
* Adds annotations to Declarative workflow executors
* fix: Address PR Comments

* Fix ProtocolBuilder implicit output registrations
* Fix logic error in ExecuteRouteGeneratorTests.ClassWithManualConfigureProtocol_DoesNotGenerate
* fix: Solidify type checks and send/yield type registrations
* fix: Suppress generation of TurnTokens out of AggregateTurnMessagesExecutor
* Fixes an issue where ConcurrentEndExecutor is not expecting TurnTokens.
* fix: Add ProtocolBuilder support for chained-delegation
* Updates Declarative pacakge to rely on chained-delegation Send/Yield registration
* Renames DeclarativeActionExectuor's new ExecuteAsync to ExecuteActionAsync to avoid colliding with Executor.ExecutoeAsync
* fix: Address PR Comments
* Fixes type mapping in FanInEdgeRunner
* Fixes and expalins send/yield type registration in FunctionExecutor
* fixup: build-break
* fix: Add missing SendsMesage declaration to InvokeAzureAgentExecutor
* Rename WorkflowOutputEvent.SourceId to ExecutorId for Python consistency
- Rename SourceId property to ExecutorId in WorkflowOutputEvent
- Add [Obsolete] SourceId property for backward compatibility
- Update all test usages to use ExecutorId
Resolves part of #2938
* Unify AgentResponse events with WorkflowOutputEvent (#2938)
- Change AgentResponseEvent and AgentResponseUpdateEvent to inherit from
WorkflowOutputEvent instead of ExecutorEvent
- Update AIAgentHostExecutor and HandoffAgentExecutor to use YieldOutputAsync()
instead of AddEventAsync() for agent outputs
- Add special-casing in InProcessRunnerContext.YieldOutputAsync() to create
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
* feat(workflows): Make telemetry opt-in via WithOpenTelemetry()
- Add WorkflowTelemetryOptions class with EnableSensitiveData property
- Add WorkflowTelemetryContext to manage ActivitySource lifecycle
- Add WithOpenTelemetry() extension method on WorkflowBuilder
- Update all workflow components to use telemetry context:
- WorkflowBuilder, Workflow, Executor
- InProcessRunnerContext, InProcessRunner
- LockstepRunEventStream, StreamingRunEventStream
- All edge runners (Direct, FanIn, FanOut, Response)
- Telemetry is now disabled by default
- Users must call WithOpenTelemetry() to enable spans/activities
BREAKING CHANGE: Workflow telemetry is now opt-in. Users who relied on
automatic telemetry must add .WithOpenTelemetry() to their workflow builder.
* refactor: Pass telemetry context as parameter instead of via interface
- Remove IWorkflowContextWithTelemetry interface
- Add internal ExecuteAsync overload that accepts WorkflowTelemetryContext
- Public ExecuteAsync delegates with WorkflowTelemetryContext.Disabled
- InProcessRunner passes TelemetryContext when calling ExecuteAsync
- BoundContext now implements IWorkflowContext (not the removed interface)
* Add optional ActivitySource parameter to WithOpenTelemetry
Allow users to provide their own ActivitySource when enabling telemetry,
giving them better control over the ActivitySource lifecycle. When not
provided, the framework creates one internally (existing behavior).
Changes:
- Add optional activitySource parameter to WithOpenTelemetry() extension
- Update WorkflowTelemetryContext to accept external ActivitySource
- Add unit test for user-provided ActivitySource scenario
* Add component-level telemetry control with disable flags
Allow users to selectively disable specific activity types via
WorkflowTelemetryOptions. All activities are enabled by default.
New disable flags:
- DisableWorkflowBuild: Disables workflow.build activities
- DisableWorkflowRun: Disables workflow_invoke activities
- DisableExecutorProcess: Disables executor.process activities
- DisableEdgeGroupProcess: Disables edge_group.process activities
- DisableMessageSend: Disables message.send activities
Added helper methods to WorkflowTelemetryContext for each activity type
and updated all activity creation sites to use them.
* Implement EnableSensitiveData to log executor input/output
When EnableSensitiveData is true in WorkflowTelemetryOptions, executor
input and output are logged as JSON-serialized attributes in the
executor.process activity.
New activity tags:
- executor.input: JSON serialized input message
- executor.output: JSON serialized output result (non-void only)
Added suppression attributes for AOT/trimming warnings since this is
an opt-in feature for debugging/diagnostics.
* Refactor activity start methods to centralize tagging logic
Move tagging logic into WorkflowTelemetryContext methods:
- StartExecutorProcessActivity now accepts executorId, executorType,
messageType, and message; sets all tags including executor.input
when EnableSensitiveData is true
- Added SetExecutorOutput method to set executor.output after execution
- StartMessageSendActivity now accepts sourceId, targetId, and message;
sets all tags including message.content when EnableSensitiveData is true
Simplified Executor.cs and InProcessRunnerContext.cs by removing
inline tagging code. Added message.content tag constant.

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
