* Updates to async run loop. * fix: Workflow Onwership can be release by nonowner * fix: Incorrect handling of blockOnPending in StreamingRun Depending on whether we are running in streaming on non-streaming mode, we may be using the StreamingRun in different ways. Unfortunately, the only place we can really know what is the actual state of execution is in the RunEventStream implementations. This resulted in blocking where blocking was unneeded and occasionally not-blocking when blocking was needed. The fix is to move the logic of handling this blocking into RunEventStream implementations. * fix: Fix cleanup on error and end run This ensures we clean up the background resources correctly. * fix: Ensure we let the run loop proceed when shutting down * fix: Add timeout for Input Waiting * fix: Make the samples properly clean up `Run`s and `StreamingRun`s * fix: Simplify Declarative Workflow Run disposal pattern * Also fixes missing .Disposal() in Integration tests --------- Co-authored-by: Ben Thomas <ben.thomas@microsoft.com>

Workflow Getting Started Samples
The getting started with workflow samples demonstrate the fundamental concepts and functionalities of workflows in Agent Framework.
Samples Overview
Foundational Concepts - Start Here
Please begin with the Foundational samples in order. These three samples introduce the core concepts of executors, edges, agents in workflows, streaming, and workflow construction.
The folder name starts with an underscore (
_Foundational) to ensure it appears first in the explorer view.
| Sample | Concepts |
|---|---|
| Executors and Edges | Minimal workflow with basic executors and edges |
| Streaming | Extends workflows with event streaming |
| Agents | Use agents in workflows |
| Agentic Workflow Patterns | Demonstrates common agentic workflow patterns |
| Multi-Service Workflows | Shows using multiple AI services in the same workflow |
Once completed, please proceed to other samples listed below.
Note that you don't need to follow a strict order after the foundational samples. However, some samples build upon concepts from previous ones, so it's beneficial to be aware of the dependencies.
Agents
| Sample | Concepts |
|---|---|
| Foundry Agents in Workflows | Demonstrates using Azure Foundry Agents within a workflow |
| Custom Agent Executors | Shows how to create a custom agent executor for more complex scenarios |
| Workflow as an Agent | Illustrates how to encapsulate a workflow as an agent |
Concurrent Execution
| Sample | Concepts |
|---|---|
| Fan-Out and Fan-In | Introduces parallel processing with fan-out and fan-in patterns |
Loop
| Sample | Concepts |
|---|---|
| Looping | Shows how to create a loop within a workflow |
Workflow Shared States
| Sample | Concepts |
|---|---|
| Shared States | Demonstrates shared states between executors for data sharing and coordination |
Conditional Edges
| Sample | Concepts |
|---|---|
| Edge Conditions | Introduces conditional edges for dynamic routing based on executor outputs |
| Switch-Case Routing | Extends conditional edges with switch-case routing for multiple paths |
| Multi-Selection Routing | Demonstrates multi-selection routing where one executor can trigger multiple downstream executors |
These 3 samples build upon each other. It's recommended to explore them in sequence to fully grasp the concepts.
Declarative Workflows
| Sample | Concepts |
|---|---|
| Declarative | Demonstrates execution of declartive workflows. |
Checkpointing
| Sample | Concepts |
|---|---|
| Checkpoint and Resume | Introduces checkpoints for saving and restoring workflow state for time travel purposes |
| Checkpoint and Rehydrate | Demonstrates hydrating a new workflow instance from a saved checkpoint |
| Checkpoint with Human-in-the-Loop | Combines checkpointing with human-in-the-loop interactions |
Human-in-the-Loop
| Sample | Concepts |
|---|---|
| Basic Human-in-the-Loop | Introduces human-in-the-loop interaction using input ports and external requests |
