OrleansContrib/Orleankka

This system is a .NET-based actor framework built on top of Microsoft Orleans, providing a structured approach to building distributed, scalable applications using the actor model. It offers a comprehensive toolkit for managing actor lifecycles, hierarchical state machines, and background jobs, while also supporting HTTP-based RPC and streaming capabilities. The codebase includes a robust test kit for mocking and verifying actor interactions, alongside a collection of samples demonstrating event sourcing, finite state machines, and chat applications.

The project was updated to target .NET 9.0 and Microsoft Orleans 9.0.1, modernizing the build system and project structure. A major focus was the introduction of strongly-typed actor references, a comprehensive testkit for unit testing, and a refactored runtime supporting hierarchical state machines and middleware pipelines.

This period focused on modernizing the Orleankka framework and its samples to align with current Orleans idioms, particularly the adoption of IGrainWithStringKey and modern HostBuilder patterns. Concurrently, extensive test coverage was added for the core library and test kit, while new samples demonstrated streaming, FSM, and Blazor integration.

This period focused on introducing a legacy actor runtime with declarative behavior management and state machines. It also added HTTP-based remote procedure call support for actors, enabling HTTP RPC routing and client-side middleware registration. The work was accompanied by comprehensive test coverage for these new features.
