* PR2: Wire context provider pipeline and update all internal consumers - Replace AgentThread with AgentSession across all packages - Replace ContextProvider with BaseContextProvider across all packages - Replace context_provider param with context_providers (Sequence) - Replace thread= with session= in run() signatures - Replace get_new_thread() with create_session() - Add get_session(service_session_id) to agent interface - DurableAgentThread -> DurableAgentSession - Remove _notify_thread_of_new_messages from WorkflowAgent - Wire before_run/after_run context provider pipeline in RawAgent - Auto-inject InMemoryHistoryProvider when no providers configured * fix: update all tests for context provider pipeline, fix lazy-loaders, remove old test files * refactor: update all sample files for context provider pipeline (AgentThread→AgentSession, ContextProvider→BaseContextProvider) * fix: update remaining ag-ui references (client docstring, getting_started sample) * fix: make get_session service_session_id keyword-only to avoid confusion with session_id * refactor: rename _RunContext.thread_messages to session_messages * refactor: remove _threads.py, _memory.py, and old provider files; migrate devui to use plain message lists * rename: remove _new_ prefix from test files * refactor: rewrite SlidingWindowChatMessageStore as SlidingWindowHistoryProvider(InMemoryHistoryProvider) * fix: read full history from session state directly instead of reaching into provider internals * fix: update stale .pyi stubs, sample imports, and README references for new provider types * fix: remove stale message_store, _notify_thread_of_new_messages, and session_id.key references in samples * refactor: merge context_providers and sessions sample folders into sessions, remove aggregate_context_provider * refactor: UserInfoMemory stores state in session.state instead of instance attributes * feat: add Pydantic BaseModel support to session state serialization Pydantic models stored in session.state are now automatically serialized via model_dump() and restored via model_validate() during to_dict()/from_dict() round-trips. Models are auto-registered on first serialization; use register_state_type() for cold-start deserialization. Also export register_state_type as a public API. * fix mem0 * Update sample README links and descriptions for session terminology - Replace 'thread' with 'session' in sample descriptions across all READMEs - Update file links for renamed samples (mem0_sessions, redis_sessions, etc.) - Fix Threads section → Sessions section in main samples/README.md - Update tools, middleware, workflows, durabletask, azure_functions READMEs - Update architecture diagrams in concepts/tools/README.md - Update migration guides (autogen, semantic-kernel) * Fix broken Redis README link to renamed sample * Fix Mem0 OSS client search: pass scoping params as direct kwargs AsyncMemory (OSS) expects user_id/agent_id/run_id as direct kwargs, while AsyncMemoryClient (Platform) expects them in a filters dict. Adds tests for both client types. Port of fix from #3844 to new Mem0ContextProvider. * Fix rebase issues: restore missing _conversation_state.py and checkpoint decode logic - Add back _conversation_state.py (encode/decode_chat_messages) lost in rebase - Fix on_checkpoint_restore to decode cache/conversation with decode_chat_messages - Fix on_checkpoint_restore to use decode_checkpoint_value for pending requests - Add tests/workflow/__init__.py for relative import support - Fix test_agent_executor checkpoint selection (checkpoints[1] not superstep) * Add STORES_BY_DEFAULT ClassVar to skip redundant InMemoryHistoryProvider injection Chat clients that store history server-side by default (OpenAI Responses API, Azure AI Agent) now declare STORES_BY_DEFAULT = True. The agent checks this during auto-injection and skips InMemoryHistoryProvider unless the user explicitly sets store=False. * Fix broken markdown links in azure_ai and redis READMEs * Fix getting-started samples to use session API instead of removed thread/ContextProvider API * updates to workflow as agent * fix group chat import * Rename Thread→Session throughout, fix service_session_id propagation, remove stale AGUIThread - Fix: Propagate conversation_id from ChatResponse back to session.service_session_id in both streaming and non-streaming paths in _agents.py - Rename AgentThreadException → AgentSessionException - Remove stale AGUIThread from ag_ui lazy-loader - Rename use_service_thread → use_service_session in ag-ui package - Rename test functions from *_thread_* to *_session_* - Rename sample files from *_thread* to *_session* - Update docstrings and comments: thread → session - Update _mcp.py kwargs filter: add 'session' alongside 'thread' - Fix ContinuationToken docstring example: thread=thread → session=session - Fix _clients.py docstring: 'Agent threads' → 'Agent sessions' * Fix broken markdown links after thread→session file renames * fix azure ai test

Environment Variables
Make sure to set the following environment variables before running the examples:
AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT: Your Azure OpenAI endpointAZURE_OPENAI_CHAT_DEPLOYMENT_NAME: The name of your Azure OpenAI chat model deploymentAZURE_OPENAI_RESPONSES_DEPLOYMENT_NAME: The name of your Azure OpenAI Responses deployment
For the Foundry project sample (azure_responses_client_with_foundry.py), also set:
AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT: Your Azure AI Foundry project endpoint
Optionally, you can set:
AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION: The API version to use (default is2024-02-15-preview)AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY: Your Azure OpenAI API key (if not usingAzureCliCredential)AZURE_OPENAI_BASE_URL: Your Azure OpenAI base URL (if different from the endpoint)
Authentication
All examples use AzureCliCredential for authentication. Run az login in your terminal before running the examples, or replace AzureCliCredential with your preferred authentication method.
Required role-based access control (RBAC) roles
To access the Azure OpenAI API, your Azure account or service principal needs one of the following RBAC roles assigned to the Azure OpenAI resource:
- Cognitive Services OpenAI User: Provides read access to Azure OpenAI resources and the ability to call the inference APIs. This is the minimum role required for running these examples.
- Cognitive Services OpenAI Contributor: Provides full access to Azure OpenAI resources, including the ability to create, update, and delete deployments and models.
For most scenarios, the Cognitive Services OpenAI User role is sufficient. You can assign this role through the Azure portal under the Azure OpenAI resource's "Access control (IAM)" section.
For more detailed information about Azure OpenAI RBAC roles, see: Role-based access control for Azure OpenAI Service
