* Bump Python package versions for 1.14.0 release Bump the CHANGELOG-selected packages for the 1.14.0 release: minor versions for root/core, AG-UI, Foundry, OpenAI, and orchestrations due to additive public APIs; patch versions for declarative and GitHub Copilot fixes; and Pacific-date prerelease stamps only for changed alpha/beta packages. No beta cohort bump was applied. Core dependency floors follow the strict policy and remain unchanged because no dependent package requires a new 1.14 API. Release validation also identified and corrected missing AG-UI and Copilot Studio runtime dependencies and aligned GitHub Copilot metadata with its Python 3.11 SDK requirement. Lab is intentionally skipped because its changes are development-only, and the moved Azure Functions and Durable Task packages are documented but no longer versioned here. * Raise AG-UI core dependency floor

Memory Context Provider
The RedisContextProvider enables persistent context and memory capabilities for your agents, allowing them to remember user preferences and conversation context across sessions and threads.
Basic Usage Examples
Review the set of getting started examples for using the Redis context provider.

- Persistent Storage: Messages survive application restarts
- Thread Isolation: Each conversation thread has its own Redis key
- Message Limits: Configurable automatic trimming of old messages
- Serialization Support: Full compatibility with Agent Framework thread serialization
- Production Ready: Connection pooling, error handling, and performance optimized
Basic Usage Examples
See the complete Redis history provider examples including:
- User session management
- Conversation persistence across restarts
- Session serialization and deserialization
- Automatic message trimming
- Error handling patterns
