All your agents are going async

- #Async Transport
- #Durable Sessions
- Agents are shifting from synchronous interactions to background, asynchronous operations.
- Traditional HTTP-based transport fails for async agents due to decoupled lifetimes of agent work and HTTP connections.
- Scenarios like agent outliving caller, unprompted pushes, caller changes, and multi-human sessions highlight HTTP limitations.
- Solutions like OpenClaw use external chat providers for durable transport, while Anthropic and Cloudflare focus on durable state storage.
- A durable session primitive combining transport and state is needed for resilient, multi-device async agent interactions.
