Pull request overview

Renames the core conversation state abstraction in the .NET SDK from AgentThread to AgentSession across product code, tests, and samples to better reflect that it can hold broader conversational state (not just chat history).

Changes:

  • Renamed public APIs and implementations from AgentThread/*Thread* to AgentSession/*Session* across the SDK surface.
  • Updated hosting/session persistence abstractions (AgentSessionStore, in-memory/no-op stores) and related integration points (A2A, Azure Functions, Durable Task).
  • Updated unit/integration tests and samples/docs to use the new session terminology.

Comments suppressed due to low confidence (2)

dotnet/src/Microsoft.Agents.AI.DurableTask/DurableAgentSession.cs:40

  • serializedSession parameter documentation says "serialized thread data". Please update to "serialized session data" to match the rename and avoid confusion.
    dotnet/src/Microsoft.Agents.AI.DurableTask/DurableAgentSession.cs:11
  • The class summary still says "An agent thread implementation" even though the type is now DurableAgentSession. Update the summary to say "session" for correctness and discoverability.
