///
/// This sample introduces multi-selection routing where one executor can trigger multiple downstream executors.
///
/// Extending the switch-case pattern from the previous sample, the workflow can now
/// trigger multiple executors simultaneously when certain conditions are met.
///
/// Key features:
/// - For legitimate emails: triggers Email Assistant (always) + Email Summary (if email is long)
/// - For spam emails: triggers Handle Spam executor only
/// - For uncertain emails: triggers Handle Uncertain executor only
/// - Database logging happens for both short emails and summarized long emails
///
/// This pattern is powerful for workflows that need parallel processing based on data characteristics,
/// such as triggering different analytics pipelines or multiple notification systems.
///
///
/// Pre-requisites:
/// - Foundational samples should be completed first.
/// - Shared state is used in this sample to persist email data between executors.
/// - An Azure OpenAI chat completion deployment that supports structured outputs must be configured.
