July 23, agent-framework-declarative went 1.0.0 for Python, matching the already-stable .NET package (Microsoft). Workflows author in YAML with Power Fx formulas for state and expressions, conditions, loops and jumps, sequential and conditional routing, function tools, MCP and HTTP endpoints, human-in-the-loop approval pauses, and checkpoint/resume, then load as ordinary Workflow instances executing identically to code-first ones. The pitch is reviewability: non-developers audit orchestration logic without knowing the framework. That matters when the routing graph is your compliance artifact.
