Promotes the Sequential and Concurrent orchestration shapes to first-class fluent
builder classes, matching Handoff / GroupChat / Magentic. Users can call
`WithOutputFrom(agents)` / `WithIntermediateOutputFrom(agents)` to control which
agents are designated output / intermediate sources; when no designation call is
made, the Python-aligned defaults apply (terminal aggregator output + every agent
intermediate; Concurrent also tags per-agent accumulators).
`AgentWorkflowBuilder.BuildSequential(...)` and `BuildConcurrent(...)` are kept
and now delegate to the new builders; observable behavior unchanged. Five static
factories now mirror each other:
- `AgentWorkflowBuilder.CreateSequentialBuilderWith(params IEnumerable<AIAgent>)`
- `AgentWorkflowBuilder.CreateConcurrentBuilderWith(params IEnumerable<AIAgent>)`
- `AgentWorkflowBuilder.CreateHandoffBuilderWith(AIAgent)` (already existed)
- `AgentWorkflowBuilder.CreateGroupChatBuilderWith(Func<...>)` (already existed)
- `AgentWorkflowBuilder.CreateMagenticBuilderWith(AIAgent)` (new)
OrchestrationBuilderBase
------------------------
New abstract `OrchestrationBuilderBase<TBuilder>` unifies the shared fluent
surface across all five orchestration builders: `WithName`, `WithDescription`,
`WithOutputFrom`, `WithIntermediateOutputFrom`, and the
`ApplyOutputDesignations(builder, agentMap, kind, applyDefaults)` helper that
either replays the user's designations or invokes the orchestration-specific
defaults.
Removes ~150 LOC of duplicated designation-management code from the four
non-Handoff builders, plus the equivalent from `HandoffWorkflowBuilderCore`.
Tests
-----
- New `SequentialWorkflowBuilderTests.cs` / `ConcurrentWorkflowBuilderTests.cs`
(replace the old `AgentWorkflowBuilder.{Sequential,Concurrent}Tests.cs`
nested-class files). Method names normalized to
`Test_<BuilderType>_<Scenario>[Async]`.
- Shared helpers (`DoubleEchoAgent`, `DoubleEchoAgentWithBarrier`,
`WorkflowRunResult`, `RunWorkflow*`) moved from the old
`AgentWorkflowBuilderTests` partial class into a new
`OrchestrationTestHelpers` static class in `OrchestrationTestHelpers.cs`.
Downstream test files (Group Chat, Handoff, Sequential, Concurrent) updated
to qualify with `OrchestrationTestHelpers.*`.
- A new `AgentWorkflowBuilderTests.cs` covers the static surface directly:
`BuildSequential` / `BuildConcurrent` invariants and aggregator wiring, plus
null-rejection + round-trip checks for every `Create*BuilderWith` factory.
- New AsAgent intermediate-suppression tests on a nested `AsAgentForwarding`
class for each of Sequential and Concurrent: build with only the terminal
agent designated via `WithOutputFrom`, run via `AsAIAgent(...)`, assert via
`AgentResponseUpdate.AuthorName` that intermediate agents do not surface.
Both join the `FuturesSerial` collection.
- New `Test_<Builder>_WithDescriptionPropagatesToWorkflow` smoke tests on
Sequential and Concurrent (newly available via the base class).
625/625 unit tests pass on net10.0.

Aligns the .NET orchestration builders with Python's output / intermediate-output
distinction. Each builder either applies a Python-aligned default designation set or
replays the user's explicit `WithOutputFrom` / `WithIntermediateOutputFrom` calls,
never both.
Static `AgentWorkflowBuilder.BuildSequential` / `BuildConcurrent` apply defaults
unconditionally (no user-facing fluent surface to take control through):
- Sequential: terminal `end` + every agent designated intermediate.
- Concurrent: terminal `end` + every agent and per-agent accumulator designated
intermediate.
The three fluent instance builders memoize agent-typed designation calls in a
`Dictionary<AIAgent, HashSet<OutputTag>>` (empty set = terminal-only, non-empty =
intermediate tag(s)) so repeated calls dedupe naturally. They replay the entries
at `Build()` time, suppressing defaults when any call has been made:
- `HandoffWorkflowBuilder` / `HandoffWorkflowBuilderCore<TBuilder>` (also picked up
by the obsolete `HandoffsWorkflowBuilder` via inheritance).
Default: terminal `HandoffEnd` + every handoff agent intermediate.
(Bug fix: legacy code relied on `WithOutputFrom(end)` to bind `HandoffEnd`. The
new explicit-designation path bypasses that, so `Build()` now calls
`BindExecutor(end)` unconditionally to keep validation happy.)
- `GroupChatWorkflowBuilder` — default: terminal host + every participant intermediate.
- `MagenticWorkflowBuilder` — default: terminal orchestrator + every team member
intermediate.
Designating a non-participant agent throws `InvalidOperationException`.
The bare `WorkflowBuilder` default is unchanged — only the orchestration-style
builders gain implicit defaults, matching the plan's non-goal.
Tests
-----
- `AgentWorkflowBuilder.SequentialTests` / `.ConcurrentTests`: one default-spec
assertion each.
- `GroupChatWorkflowBuilderTests`: defaults-match-spec, explicit-replaces-defaults,
non-participant throws.
- `HandoffWorkflowBuilderTests` (new file): same three.
- `MagenticWorkflowBuilderTests` (new file): same three.
593/593 unit tests pass on net10.0 (582 baseline + 11 new).
