Python: [BREAKING] Simplify API: ChatAgent -> Agent, ChatMessage -> Message ( #3747 ) * [BREAKING] Rename ChatAgent -> Agent, ChatMessage -> Message, ChatClientProtocol -> SupportsChatGetResponse
Simplify the public API by removing redundant 'Chat' prefix from core types:
- ChatAgent -> Agent
- RawChatAgent -> RawAgent
- ChatMessage -> Message
- ChatClientProtocol -> SupportsChatGetResponse
Also renamed internal WorkflowMessage (was Message in _runner_context) to avoid collision.
No backward compatibility aliases - this is a clean breaking change.
