Run State

RunState class for serializing and resuming agent runs with human-in-the-loop support.

RunState dataclass

Bases: Generic[TContext, TAgent]

Serializable snapshot of an agent run, including context, usage, and interruptions.

RunState is the durable pause/resume boundary for human-in-the-loop flows. It stores enough information to continue an interrupted run, including model responses, generated items, approval state, and optional server-managed conversation identifiers.

Context serialization is intentionally conservative:

  • Mapping contexts round-trip directly.
  • Custom contexts may require a serializer and deserializer.
  • When no safe serializer is available, the snapshot is still written but emits warnings and records metadata describing what is required to rebuild the original context type.
