Summary

Introduces persisted, deployment-scoped AgentSession entities and workspace-level APIs for multi-turn conversations with deployed Fabric-backed agents. Invocations can now supply a persisted session ID so the gateway can validate its deployment binding and the serving shim can lazily create, reuse, and clean up the corresponding Fabric runtime.

Related Issue

Closes AIRCORE-1035.

Changes

  • Add the persisted AgentSession entity with a required deployment ID, active and closed lifecycle states, and optional activity and expiration timestamps.
  • Register sessions with the entity framework and add the corresponding request, response, OpenAPI, authorization, and SDK schemas.
  • Add workspace-level APIs to create, list, get, close, and delete sessions, including deployment existence and workspace validation.
  • Add optimistic version checking when deleting sessions to avoid deleting a concurrently replaced entity.
  • Update the deployed-agent gateway to accept an optional Platform session ID and validate that the session belongs to the deployment being invoked.
  • When invoking by agent name with a session ID, route through the gateway to the exact deployment bound to that session; preserve existing deployment selection when no session ID is supplied.
  • Use the Platform session ID as the Fabric serving shim's logical runtime key, lazily creating a runtime on first use and reusing it for later turns.
  • Add best-effort Fabric runtime cleanup when a persisted session is closed or deleted.
  • Add entity, API, authorization, gateway, SDK, and Fabric session-management tests.
  • Keep the initial model deployment-scoped without user ownership or job-session support.

74-78: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

_closed_session_ids grows without bound.

The tombstone set never shrinks. A long-lived deployment process that opens and closes many sessions accumulates one string per closed session ID for the process lifetime. Consider a bounded structure (for example a capped FIFO or a TTL-based prune tied to the idle-expiration sweep).

Not blocking: growth is one small string per closed session.

439-445: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider one stripping mechanism for forwarded headers.

The session header uses a separate exclusion beside _HOP_BY_HOP. Adding it to a single "never forward from client" set keeps one place to audit.

-    headers = {
-        k: v
-        for k, v in request.headers.items()
-        if k.lower() not in _HOP_BY_HOP and k.lower() != SESSION_ID_HEADER.lower()
-    }

+    headers = {k: v for k, v in request.headers.items() if k.lower() not in stripped}
     if session_id is not None:
         headers[SESSION_ID_HEADER] = session_id

Is there a reason we're storing closed session IDs and not open ones? I would think that the open sessions are:

  • more knowable (we only know sessions that were closed within the lifetime of this deployment, not sessions "orphaned" by a restart)
  • smaller (# of closed sessions >= # of open sessions)

I guess storing closed sessions means you don't need to pop open session IDs out of a set when they close... 🤔

Do we need this initial get call? It introduces a race condition, e.g. two concurrent requests to close the same session. Seems like we could probably just make the update call regardless?

Oh... unless we need the full session object to make that call. Ugh. I guess our update calls are PUT style, not PATCH style? Hmm, leaving this comment here, but this might be unavoidable.

Hmm. I'm not sure how this would happen in practice 🤔

I was curious what the _HOP_BY_HOP headers are, and it looks like that constant already has not just HBH but also some other platform internal headers. Maybe we should just add SESSION_ID_HEADER to that existing constant? Also maybe just rename the constant? Though I do see it used in one other place, in _stream_with_headers... not sure if that needs different logic than this _proxy method?
