Pull request overview
Updates the Python getting-started memory sample (04_memory.py) to demonstrate persisting user info via AgentSession.state using a context provider, aligning the sample with newer session-state guidance.
Changes:
- Switches imports to the public
agent_frameworkAPI surface. - Reworks the provider to store/read the user name from provider-scoped session state and uses
SessionContext.extend_instructions(). - Adds a final print showing how to inspect stored provider state from the session.
