* refactor: Rename AggregateTurnMessagesExecutor
* feat: Rework Agent Hosting for Configurability and HIL support
* Adds support for selecting whether updates and/or full responses are
emitted to events
* Adds support for HIL/FunctionCalls (including interception)
* Implements internal support for ExternalRequests from any executor
(not just RequestPort)
* test: Add tests for new AIAgentHostExecutor functionality
* feat: Unify non-Handoff Agent Hosting
* doc: More explicit documentation for `overwrite` in RouteBuilder
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)
* fix: Expose WorkflowErrorEvent as ErrorContent
When hosted using .AsAgent(), Workflows were not exposing inner errors coming as Exceptions (through the WorkflowErrorEvent)
The fix is to convert their message to an ErrorContent on the way out, rather than rely on the default "empty update" to collect the raw event.
* feat: Add a way to show/suppress exception information
* adds support for labels in edges, fixes rendering of labels in dot and mermaid, adds rendering of labels in edges
* Update dotnet/src/Microsoft.Agents.AI.Workflows/Visualization/WorkflowVisualizer.cs

* escaping edge labels, adding tests for labels containing strange characters that would break the diagram and enabling the previous signature so the API has backwards compatibility.
* Unify label in EdgeData
* Edge API adjustments, removed useless "sanitizer"
* fixed test

* 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
* fix: Workflow Validation
* adds orphan validation to workflow builder
* adds tests for workflow validation
* expands on the underlying reasoning why type validation is not supported
* fixup: CodeGen template
* [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.
Checkpointing is used by the WorkflowHostAgent to be able to support resume from a provided thread. When a CheckpointManager is not specified, we use the InMemoryCheckpointManager and serialize its state into the thread's Serialize()ed JsonElement.
At some point InMemoryCheckpointManager became not serializable, breaking this behaviour. This change restores serializability, and adds a test.
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
- Added ChatMessage[] handler to ConfigureRoutes to support array dispatch
- Workflow runtime can dispatch messages as either List<ChatMessage> or ChatMessage[]
- Added 10 comprehensive unit tests validating message routing behavior
- Tests ensure functionality and protect against future refactoring (issue #782)
- Updated code comments to reflect exact-type-matching requirement
Fixes issue where raw WorkflowBuilder with AIAgent nodes failed to receive
initial messages due to missing array type handler.
* 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

Add optional name and description fields to workflows in both Python and .NET implementations, matching the existing agent API pattern.
Python changes:
- Add name/description parameters to WorkflowBuilder.__init__
- Add name/description attributes to Workflow class
- Include name/description in to_dict() serialization
- Add WORKFLOW_NAME and WORKFLOW_DESCRIPTION OTEL attributes
- Add tests in test_serialization.py and test_workflow_observability.py
.NET changes:
- Add Name and Description properties to Workflow and Workflow<T>
- Add WithName() and WithDescription() fluent methods to WorkflowBuilder
- Add WorkflowName and WorkflowDescription OTEL tags
- Add test in WorkflowBuilderSmokeTests.cs
This enables applications like DevUI to display human-readable workflow names (e.g., 'Data Processing Pipeline') instead of auto-generated UUIDs (e.g., 'Workflow 50fdd917').
Fixes: #1181
* feat: Add support for Workflow-as-Executor
* Fixes routing of 'object' compile-typed variables to properly take in type information
* Fixes a concurrency issue in StepTracer
* fix: Make Subworkflow ExternalRequests work properly
* fix: Threading and Concurrency fixes; prep for OffThread Mode
* refactor: Remove dead code around OffStreamRunEventStream
Currently not used, and will be replaced with a rewrite when brought back, so having it in the change is not valuable.
* ci: Work around issues with dotnet-format not properly analyzing the source
* fix: Fix the logic of AsyncCoordinator and AsyncBarrier
* Prevent individual wait cancellations from canceling the entire barrier
* Propagate information about whether the wait was completed or cancelled, and whether any waiters were present when released
* fix: Remove superfluous acces to .Keys in InProcStepTracer
* refactor: Clean up AsyncCoordinator's use of AsyncBarrier
* Move the AsAIAgent extension methods to the correct class
* Fix format issue
* Disable unit test, see issue #1109
