Autogen Foundation

Use when porting multi-agent orchestration machinery from Microsoft AutoGen (Python): single-queue envelope runtime, topic/subscription message bus, intervention hooks at dequeue time, group-chat supervisor loops (round-robin, LLM selector, swarm handoff, DAG graph flow), FIFO ordered delivery, termination algebra, run/stream lifecycle, bounded agent tool-call loops, RPC cancellation/failure ladders, name-keyed team checkpointing, middle-out token-budget contexts, mutate-and-report memory injection, subprocess executor timeout/cancel exit codes, grpc worker/host registration handshake with request-id correlation and disconnect cleanup, streamed tool-call workbenches, and pluggable model-context recall strategies.

AutoGen: Agent Runtime & Group-Chat Foundations

Foundation contract

This is a cold, source-specific foundation, not an operational procedure. It is historical, revision-pinned evidence rather than timeless guidance. Current project source, tests, requirements, and runtime behavior outrank this projection and decide what ships.

Provenance and revision

Source record: autogen; portable upstream identity, license, coverage caveats, and retrieval history are preserved in the index.
Recorded revision: main@027ecf0a379bcc1d09956d46d12d44a3ad9cee14.
Full provenance, coverage caveats, boundaries, and preserved evidence: references/index.md.

Topic map

Representative topics: Envelope dispatch; Interventions; Fan-out; Instantiation; Routing; Subscriptions; Subscription registry; Serialization.
Scope and retrieval questions: references/index.md#use-this-for.
Complete capsule chooser: references/index.md#load-the-matching-source-dump.
Detailed grouped map: references/index.md#capsule-map.
Source limitations and portability boundaries: references/index.md#boundaries.

Retrieval

Open the index, choose one capsule matching the active question, and load only that capsule. Revalidate its cited source and revision before relying on it. Do not bulk-load the inventory, treat historical claims as current truth, or apply this foundation as a procedure.
