1. Add `on_pause` and `on_resume` API to `ChatAgent` to support pausing
behavior when running `on_message` concurrently.
2. Add `GroupChatPause` and `GroupChatResume` RPC events and handle them
in `ChatAgentContainer`.
3. Add `pause` and `resume` API to `BaseGroupChat` to allow for this
behavior accessible from the public API.
4. Improve `SequentialRoutedAgent` class to customize which message
types are sequentially handled, making it possible to have concurrent
handling for some messages (e.g., `GroupChatPause`).
5. Added unit tests.
See `test_group_chat_pause_resume.py` for how to use this feature.
What is the difference between pause/resume vs. termination and restart?
- Pause and resume issue direct RPC calls to the participanting agents
of a team while they are running, allowing putting the on-going
generation or actions on hold. This is useful when an agent's turn takes
a long time and multiple steps to complete, and user/application wants
to re-evaluate whether it is worth continue the step or cancel. This
also allows user/application to pause individual agents and resuming
them independently from the team API.
- Termination and restart requires the whole team to comes to a
full-stop, and termination conditions are checked in between agents'
turns. So termination can only happen when no agent is working on its
turn. It is possible that a termination condition has reached well
before the team is terminated, if the agent is taking a long time to
generate a response.
Resolves: #5881
Resolves#4075
1. Introduce custom runtime parameter for all AgentChat teams
(RoundRobinGroupChat, SelectorGroupChat, etc.). This is done by making
sure each team's topics are isolated from other teams, and decoupling
state from agent identities. Also, I removed the closure agent from the
BaseGroupChat and use the group chat manager agent to relay messages to
the output message queue.
2. Added unit tests to test scenarios with custom runtimes by using
pytest fixture
3. Refactored existing unit tests to use ReplayChatCompletionClient with
a few improvements to the client.
4. Fix a one-liner bug in AssistantAgent that caused deserialized agent
to have handoffs.
How to use it?
```python
import asyncio
from autogen_core import SingleThreadedAgentRuntime
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_agentchat.teams import RoundRobinGroupChat
from autogen_agentchat.conditions import TextMentionTermination
from autogen_ext.models.replay import ReplayChatCompletionClient
async def main() -> None:
# Create a runtime
runtime = SingleThreadedAgentRuntime()
runtime.start()
# Create a model client.
model_client = ReplayChatCompletionClient(
["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10"],
)
# Create agents
agent1 = AssistantAgent("assistant1", model_client=model_client, system_message="You are a helpful assistant.")
agent2 = AssistantAgent("assistant2", model_client=model_client, system_message="You are a helpful assistant.")
# Create a termination condition
termination_condition = TextMentionTermination("10", sources=["assistant1", "assistant2"])
# Create a team
team = RoundRobinGroupChat([agent1, agent2], runtime=runtime, termination_condition=termination_condition)
# Run the team
stream = team.run_stream(task="Count to 10.")
async for message in stream:
print(message)
# Save the state.
state = await team.save_state()
# Load the state to an existing team.
await team.load_state(state)
# Run the team again
model_client.reset()
stream = team.run_stream(task="Count to 10.")
async for message in stream:
print(message)
# Create a new team, with the same agent names.
agent3 = AssistantAgent("assistant1", model_client=model_client, system_message="You are a helpful assistant.")
agent4 = AssistantAgent("assistant2", model_client=model_client, system_message="You are a helpful assistant.")
new_team = RoundRobinGroupChat([agent3, agent4], runtime=runtime, termination_condition=termination_condition)
# Load the state to the new team.
await new_team.load_state(state)
# Run the new team
model_client.reset()
new_stream = new_team.run_stream(task="Count to 10.")
async for message in new_stream:
print(message)
# Stop the runtime
await runtime.stop()
asyncio.run(main())
```
TODOs as future PRs:
1. Documentation.
2. How to handle errors in custom runtime when the agent has exception?

## Why are these changes needed?
<!-- Please give a short summary of the change and the problem this
solves. -->
The PR introduces two changes.
The first change is adding a name attribute to
`FunctionExecutionResult`. The motivation is that semantic kernel
requires it for their function result interface and it seemed like a
easy modification as `FunctionExecutionResult` is always created in the
context of a `FunctionCall` which will contain the name. I'm unsure if
there was a motivation to keep it out but this change makes it easier to
trace which tool the result refers to and also increases api
compatibility with SK.
The second change is an update to how messages are mapped from autogen
to semantic kernel, which includes an update/fix in the processing of
function results.

Make FileSurfer and CodeExecAgent Declarative.
These agent presents are used as part of magentic one and having them
declarative is a precursor to their use in AGS.

Closes#4904
Does not change default behavior in core.
In agentchat, this change will mean that exceptions that used to be
ignored and result in bugs like the group chat stopping are now reported
out to the user application.

I'm unsure if everyone will agree, but I started to look into adding new
logic and found that refactoring into smaller functions would make it
more maintainable.
There is no change in functionality, only a breakdown into smaller
methods to make it more modular and improve readability. There is a lot
of logic in the method and this refactor breaks it down into context
management, llm call and result processing.

Don't throw an exception when model makes a mistake. Use retries, and if
not succeeding after a fixed attempts, fall back to the previous sepaker
if available, or the first participant.

Currently the way to accomplish RAG behavior with agent chat,

Allow AssistantAgent to drop images when not equipped with a multi-modal model.
Adds a corresponding utility function, which can be used in autogen-ext and teams, to accomplish the same.
Resolves#3983
* introduce `model_client_stream` parameter in `AssistantAgent` to
enable token-level streaming output.
* introduce `ModelClientStreamingChunkEvent` as a type of `AgentEvent`
to pass the streaming chunks to the application via `run_stream` and
`on_messages_stream`. Although this will not affect the inner messages
list in the final `Response` or `TaskResult`.
* handle this new message type in `Console`.
