/// <summary>
/// This sample introduces the concept of RequestPort and ExternalRequest to enable
/// human-in-the-loop interaction scenarios.
/// A request port can be used as if it were an executor in the workflow graph. Upon receiving
/// a message, the request port generates an RequestInfoEvent that gets emitted to the external world.
/// The external world can then respond to the request by sending an ExternalResponse back to
/// the workflow.
/// The sample implements a simple number guessing game where the external user tries to guess
/// a pre-defined target number. The workflow consists of a single JudgeExecutor that judges
/// the user's guesses and provides feedback.
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// Pre-requisites:
/// - Foundational samples should be completed first.
/// </remarks>
