* 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.

* Update samples and code cleanup
* Fix file formatting
* Add comment
* Add telemetry configuration to declarative workflow
* Remove delays in tests
* Address comments
* Initial working version with tests.
* Updates to validate class data once instead of for each handler method. Also updated Diagnostics Ids to format of MAFGENWF{NUM}

re-added in a dependent branch (wf-obsolete-reflector).

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)
- Replace OPENAI_APIKEY with OPENAI_API_KEY across all samples
- Replace AZURE_FOUNDRY_OPENAI_APIKEY with AZURE_FOUNDRY_OPENAI_API_KEY
- Ensures consistency with OpenAI's standard naming convention
- Applies to .NET and Python samples

* Add workflow as an agent with observability sample
* Address comment
* Fix formatting
* enable sensitive data
* enable sensitive data for sub agents
* adjust aggregator handlers
* 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
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
* 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
