// Copyright (c) Microsoft. All rights reserved.

// This sample demonstrates how the ChatClientAgent persists chat history after each individual
// call to the AI service, using the SimulateServiceStoredChatHistory option.
// When an agent uses tools, FunctionInvokingChatClient may loop multiple times
// (service call → tool execution → service call), and intermediate messages (tool calls and
// results) are persisted after each service call. This allows you to inspect or recover them
// even if the process is interrupted mid-loop, but may also result in chat history that is not
// yet finalized (e.g., tool calls without results) being persisted, which may be undesirable in some cases.
//
// To use end-of-run persistence instead (atomic run semantics), remove the
// SimulateServiceStoredChatHistory = true setting (or set it to false). End-of-run
// persistence is the default behavior.
//
// The sample runs two multi-turn conversations: one using non-streaming (RunAsync) and one
// using streaming (RunStreamingAsync), to demonstrate correct behavior in both modes.
