* feat: Make Executor id field mandatory
When checkpointing is involved, it is critical to keep executor ids consistent between runs, even when recreating a new object tree for the workflow.
The default id-setting mechanism generated a guid for part of the id, making it not work when restoring from a checkpoint.
This change prevents this situation from arising.
* feat: Enable running untyped Workflows
With the change to enable delay-instantiation of executors and support for async Executor factory methods, we must instantiate the starting executor to know what are the valid input types for the workflow.
To avoid forcing instantiation every time, and to better support workflows with multiple input types, we enable support for build and interacting with the base Workflow type without type annotations, and remove the requirement to know a valid input type when initiating a run.
* feat: Support Output from any executor and multiple outputs.
* Add AgentWorkflowBuilder group chat
And fix a variety of issues along the way:
- Use DateTime{Offset}.UtcNow rather than Now
- AIAgentHostExecutor shouldn't be publishing empty messages
- Sequential workflows should be flowing all history and not just the output from the previous agent as the input into the next agent
- Renamed some of the new agent workflow methods... still not super happy with the shape, though
- Simplified handoffs builder, e.g. using a hashset with a custom comparer instead of a dictionary
- Improved multi-service use by trying to change assistant->user role for messages created by other agents
- Changed MessageMerger to rely on M.E.AI's coalescing more and to avoid empty contents / text
- Ensured that messages from ChatClientAgent include MessageId and CreatedAt timestamps
- Avoided including instructions for agents in a handoff workflow that don't have any handoffs
- Removed the unnecessary end function in handoffs
- Improved naming of executors to include agent name for debuggability
- Use "N" formatting with Guid.ToString everywhere, to avoid the unnecessary extra dash character which is also not valid in various places (like function tool names)
- Replace `params T[]` with `params IEnumerable<T>` to make public APIs more flexible in what they consume
* Address feedback
- Fix unintentional provider change in sample
* feat: Support Checkpoint Serialization
* Implements serialization roundtripping for checkpoints.
* Adds support for JSON serialization
* Adds FileSystem-based checkpoint persistence
* fix: Executor State does not deserialize correctly
The StateManager was not properly handling delay-deserialized values.
* Fix PortableValue handling in StateManager (this makes it delegate to PortableValue the uwnrapping)
* Fix UnitTest to actually test checkpoint serialization
* Additional review comment fixes
