Pull Request Overview
This PR introduces a comprehensive technical design document for the Semantic Kernel Workflow Framework. The document outlines an executor-based orchestration system designed for complex multi-agent workflows using a graph-based architecture with Pregel-style execution.
- Comprehensive framework design with type-safe executor architecture and async event-driven execution
- Detailed implementation patterns for sequential, concurrent, conditional, and human-in-the-loop scenarios
- Future enhancement roadmap covering checkpointing, distributed execution, and observability features
