8ed2159c4b .NET: Workflow Outputs Overhaul: Support Tagging, Filtering Agent Outputs (#6045)
* test: reshuffle .NET Workflow tests in preparation for Outputs overhaul

Phase 1 of the .NET Workflows outputs overhaul (see
working/implementation-plan.md). Pure moves/renames in
dotnet/tests/Microsoft.Agents.AI.Workflows.UnitTests; no production code
changes, no new test cases. The split keeps each orchestration mode in
its own source file so the upcoming tag-aware and orchestration-default
test additions land on clean diffs.

Renames:
* WorkflowBuilderSmokeTests.cs -> WorkflowBuilderTests.cs (with class
  rename to match). The scope is no longer "smoke"-only once subsequent
  phases add tag-aware builder tests.
* InputWaiterAndOutputFilterTests.cs -> InputWaiterTests.cs +
  OutputFilterTests.cs. The file already declared the two test classes
  separately; this split simply gives each its own file so the
  output-filter cases have a dedicated home for tag-aware additions.

Split of AgentWorkflowBuilderTests.cs:
* AgentWorkflowBuilderTests.cs is now the outer
  `public static partial class AgentWorkflowBuilderTests` holding the
  shared test helpers (DoubleEchoAgent + session + WithBarrier variant,
  WorkflowRunResult, RunWorkflow* methods) bumped from `private` to
  `internal` so the new top-level GroupChatWorkflowBuilderTests in the
  same assembly can reach them.
* AgentWorkflowBuilder.SequentialTests.cs (nested SequentialTests):
  BuildSequential_InvalidArguments_Throws,
  BuildSequential_AgentsRunInOrderAsync.
* AgentWorkflowBuilder.ConcurrentTests.cs (nested ConcurrentTests):
  BuildConcurrent_InvalidArguments_Throws,
  BuildConcurrent_AgentsRunInParallelAsync.

Sequential and Concurrent are kept as nested classes because they're
modes of the same `AgentWorkflowBuilder` static factory and do not
produce dedicated builder types.

New file:
* GroupChatWorkflowBuilderTests.cs (top-level): the existing
  BuildGroupChat_* and GroupChatManager_* cases moved out of the old
  AgentWorkflowBuilderTests file. They exercise the
  `GroupChatWorkflowBuilder` type (returned by
  `AgentWorkflowBuilder.CreateGroupChatBuilderWith`), so a dedicated
  top-level test class - matching the convention reserved by the plan
  for HandoffWorkflowBuilderTests / MagenticWorkflowBuilderTests - is
  the right home. Cross-class helper references qualify with
  `AgentWorkflowBuilderTests.DoubleEchoAgent` and
  `AgentWorkflowBuilderTests.RunWorkflowAsync`.

The outer partial class is `static` (and nested classes carry the
instance test methods) because the outer holds only static helpers;
this satisfies CA1052 without suppressions and is invisible to xUnit
discovery, which finds tests on the nested classes as
`AgentWorkflowBuilderTests.SequentialTests.*` etc.

Validation: `dotnet build` clean on both target frameworks; all 547
tests in Microsoft.Agents.AI.Workflows.UnitTests pass on net10.0.

* feat: introduce OutputTag, Futures, and tag-aware WorkflowBuilder API

Phase 2 of the .NET Workflows outputs overhaul. Additive code change
only - no observable runtime behavior change. The runner still uses the
legacy bypass for AgentResponse / AgentResponseUpdate payloads, and the
new `Futures.EnableAgentResponseOutputTaggingAndFiltering` flag defaults
to false. Phase 3 will wire the flag into the runner; this commit only
introduces the types and the builder API.

New public surface:
* `OutputTag` (readonly struct): wraps a string Value with ordinal
  equality (IEquatable, GetHashCode, == / !=) so it can participate as a
  HashSet element. Internal ctor closes the set. One public singleton:
  `OutputTag.Intermediate`. Terminal / regular outputs carry no tag
  (empty Tags set). JSON-serialized as a bare string via
  [JsonConverter(typeof(OutputTagJsonConverter))], with the converter
  rehydrating to the well-known singleton on read.
* `Futures` (static class): hosts opt-in pre-GA behavior switches.
  First flag is `EnableAgentResponseOutputTaggingAndFiltering`; XML doc
  captures the v2.0.0 obsoletion / v3.0.0 removal lifecycle.
* `WorkflowOutputEvent.Tags`: `HashSet<OutputTag>` exposed directly
  (concrete collection, matches the JSON-serialization convention used
  for `WorkflowInfo.OutputExecutorIds`). Never null; empty for legacy /
  terminal events. New ctors take a single `OutputTag` or
  `IEnumerable<OutputTag>?`; the existing (data, executorId) ctor
  remains and produces an untagged event. `HasTag(OutputTag)` helper.
  `AgentResponseEvent` and `AgentResponseUpdateEvent` gain matching
  tag-accepting ctors forwarding to the base.
* `WorkflowOutputEventExtensions.IsIntermediate(this WorkflowOutputEvent)`:
  extension method returning `evt.HasTag(OutputTag.Intermediate)`. The
  preferred way to ask "is this an intermediate output?" without
  reaching into the Tags set.
* `WorkflowBuilder.WithOutputFrom(IEnumerable<ExecutorBinding>, OutputTag)`
  and `WorkflowBuilder.WithOutputFrom(ExecutorBinding, OutputTag)`:
  forward-looking tagged overloads. The IEnumerable form is the primary
  tagged surface; the single-executor form is a convenience for the
  common one-executor case. Currently usable for the
  `OutputTag.Intermediate` singleton; will become the primary surface
  once the `OutputTag` constructor is opened to user-defined tags in
  a future release. Callers in this release should prefer the
  intent-specific `WithIntermediateOutputFrom` extension for the
  intermediate case. Tags accumulate across repeated calls; same tag
  repeated dedupes via the HashSet.
* `WorkflowBuilderExtensions.WithIntermediateOutputFrom(this WorkflowBuilder, IEnumerable<ExecutorBinding>)`:
  helper that forwards to `WithOutputFrom(executors, OutputTag.Intermediate)`.
  Takes an IEnumerable (matching the tagged WithOutputFrom shape) -
  callers pass collection literals: `builder.WithIntermediateOutputFrom([a, b])`.
  XML doc remarks call out the Futures-flag interaction and the
  AIAgent-payload forwarding contract.

Internal shape changes:
* `WorkflowBuilder._outputExecutors`: HashSet<string> -> Dictionary<
  string, HashSet<OutputTag>>. The value set is empty for executors
  designated only via the untagged WithOutputFrom; contains Intermediate
  (and possibly future tags) otherwise.
* `Workflow.OutputExecutors`: HashSet<string> -> Dictionary<string,
  HashSet<OutputTag>>.
* `OutputFilter.CanOutput`: `Contains(id)` -> `ContainsKey(id)`.
* `WorkflowInfo.OutputExecutorIds`: HashSet<string> -> Dictionary<
  string, HashSet<OutputTag>>, with a custom JsonConverter that reads
  both the new map shape (`{id: ["intermediate", ...]}`) and the legacy
  array shape (`[id1, id2]`, where each id is treated as an untagged
  output). Always writes the map shape. IsMatch updated to compare
  per-id tag sets.

Tests landing in this commit (per the test-with-feature principle):
* `OutputTagTests.cs` (6 tests): KnownValues, EqualityIsOrdinalOnValue,
  DefaultStructValueIsDistinct (default(OutputTag) does not collide
  with the Intermediate singleton in a HashSet),
  GetHashCodeMatchesEquals, JsonConverter_RoundtripsValueAsString,
  ConstructorIsInternal (reflection-based assertion that the (string)
  ctor is `internal`).
* `WorkflowBuilderTests.cs` adds 7 new tests pinning the builder
  API contract: RegistersWithEmptyTagSet, AddsIntermediateTag,
  MultipleExecutorsAllUntagged, ThenIntermediate_AccumulatesTags,
  RepeatedDedupes, OnlyRegistersWithoutPriorWithOutputFrom,
  TracksExecutorBinding.
* `BackwardsCompatibility/JsonCheckpointSerializationTests.cs`
  (new folder + file, 5 tests): event-level ctor contract tests
  (single-tag, no-tag, multi-tag — the last with a custom tag);
  IsIntermediate() asserted; load-bearing JSON BC tests for
  `WorkflowInfo.OutputExecutorIds` -
  `WorkflowOutputExecutorsReadsLegacyArrayShape` (legacy ids map to
  empty tag sets) and `WorkflowOutputExecutorsWritesMapShape`.

The plan's three JSON round-trip tests for `WorkflowOutputEvent.Tags`
were dropped: `WorkflowEvent` is not currently a serialized checkpoint
shape (see the comment in WorkflowsJsonUtilities.cs about events not
being persisted), so there is no real back-compat surface to pin
through JSON. They are substituted with in-process ctor/property
round-trip tests that exercise the `Tags` / `HasTag` / `IsIntermediate`
contract.

Validation: full `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Workflows.UnitTests` suite runs
green on net10.0 (565 passing, 0 failing). Core library builds clean
on net472, netstandard2.0, net8.0, net9.0, and net10.0. Test project
builds clean on net472 + net10.0.

* feat: route AgentResponse(Update) through the output filter under a Futures flag

`InProcessRunnerContext.YieldOutputAsync` historically special-cased AgentResponse and
AgentResponseUpdate payloads: it built the typed event subclass and emitted it directly,
bypassing the output filter. Rewrites the method so that:

- When `Futures.EnableAgentResponseOutputTaggingAndFiltering` is `false` (the current
  default), AgentResponse(Update) keep the legacy bypass — emitted as
  AgentResponseEvent / AgentResponseUpdateEvent with no tags. Existing callers see no
  behavior change.
- When the flag is `true`, AIAgent payloads flow through the output filter just like
  every other payload type: undesignated sources are dropped, and the emitted event
  carries the source's tag set (empty for terminal `WithOutputFrom`, `{Intermediate}`
  for `WithIntermediateOutputFrom`, the set union when both designations apply).

Non-AIAgent (POCO) outputs also now carry the source's tag set on the emitted
WorkflowOutputEvent unconditionally — additive, since no existing assertion inspected
Tags. Subclass events (`AgentResponseEvent` / `AgentResponseUpdateEvent`) continue to
be emitted under both modes so `switch (evt) { case AgentResponseEvent: ... }`
consumer code keeps matching.

Adds `OutputFilter.TryGetTags` as the tag-aware lookup used by the runner.
`OutputFilter.CanOutput` is kept (still used by the existing sync tests in
`OutputFilterTests.cs`).

Tests
-----
- `Futures/Futures.AgentResponseOutputFilteringAndTaggingTests.cs` (new): the F1–F13
  matrix from the plan, covering every combination of `(flag on/off) × (designation)
  × (payload shape)`. Uses a `FuturesScope` IDisposable + a `FuturesSerial` xUnit
  collection (DisableParallelization = true) to keep the process-global flag from
  leaking across parallel tests.
- `OutputFilterTests.cs`: four new `Test_OutputFilter_…` cases for the `TryGetTags`
  surface (empty-tag-set for terminal designation, `{Intermediate}` for intermediate
  designation, union for accumulated designation, `false` for unregistered).

582/582 unit tests pass on net10.0 (565 baseline + 17 new).

* feat: tag-aware defaults and designation API on orchestration builders

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).

* feat: WorkflowHostAgent forwards AgentResponseEvent unconditionally under Futures-on

Aligns the .NET Workflow-as-Agent surface with Python `as_agent`. Under
`Futures.EnableAgentResponseOutputTaggingAndFiltering = true`,
`WorkflowSession.InvokeStageAsync` now forwards `AgentResponseEvent`
unconditionally — joining `AgentResponseUpdateEvent` in ignoring the host's
`includeWorkflowOutputsInResponse` switch. That switch keeps governing the
generic `WorkflowOutputEvent` path for non-AIAgent payloads, where it is
further short-circuited by an `IsIntermediate()` check (tagged intermediate
outputs always surface).

Under Futures-off the legacy asymmetry is preserved: `AgentResponseUpdateEvent`
always forwarded, `AgentResponseEvent` gated by `includeWorkflowOutputsInResponse`.

Back-compat: with `Futures.EnableAgentResponseOutputTaggingAndFiltering` left at
its default `false`, observable behavior is identical to before.

`Futures` documentation gains a remark explaining the `Workflow.AsAIAgent()`
interaction in both flag states.

Runner fix
----------
`InProcessRunnerContext.YieldOutputAsync` now skips `Executor.CanOutput` for
AgentResponse-shaped payloads under both Futures branches. `AIAgentHostExecutor`
doesn't declare AgentResponse(Update) in its `Yields` set, so the historical
legacy bypass had silently skipped the check; Phase 3's Futures-on path was
running it and would reject AIAgent payloads. AIAgent-shaped payloads are now
always a valid output shape, matching the legacy bypass semantics.

Phase 4 follow-on
-----------------
Switched the three orchestration-builder designation-replay loops to iterate
`Dictionary.Keys` with a value lookup instead of constructing/destructuring
`KeyValuePair<,>`. Cleaner shape and avoids the netstandard2.0 / net472
`KeyValuePair<,>.Deconstruct` unavailability that surfaced when this branch
multi-TFM-built.

Tests
-----
`WorkflowHostSmokeTests.IntermediateForwarding` (new nested class, 6 tests):
- intermediate AgentResponse forwarded past the include-outputs gate (Futures on)
- terminal AgentResponse forwarded unconditionally (Futures on)
- terminal AgentResponse gated by include flag (Futures off, legacy)
- undesignated AIAgent executor emits no AgentResponseEvent under Futures-on
- legacy bypass still emits AgentResponseEvent under Futures-off
- intermediate tag is observable via `update.RawRepresentation`

The class joins the `FuturesSerial` xUnit collection so the process-global flag
is serialized against other Futures-toggling tests.

599/599 unit tests pass on net10.0 (593 baseline + 6 new).

* feat: SequentialWorkflowBuilder and ConcurrentWorkflowBuilder, OrchestrationBuilderBase

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.

Tao ChenandGitHub e3b4b6662b .NET: Workflow telemetry opt in (#3467)
* 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.

* Revert Python changes

* Update samples and code cleanup

* Fix file formatting

* Add comment

* Add telemetry configuration to declarative workflow

* Remove delays in tests

* Address comments

Jacob AlberandGitHub 4940d0ef36 fix: Subworkflows do not work well with HostAsAgent (#3240)
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)

Jacob AlberandGitHub 899d8ff775 fix: .NET: Concurrency Support for Orchestrations (#1689)
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.

* 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

Victor DibiaandGitHub 5a7ca13af6 feat: Add name and description support to workflows (#1183)
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
