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.
