ResponsesProvider
Remarks
The SDK delegates all response state operations to the registered ResponsesProvider. Consumers extend this class to support custom backends (e.g., Redis, SQL) for multi-instance deployments.
For event streaming, extend ResponsesStreamProvider. For cancellation signalling, extend ResponsesCancellationSignalProvider.
When no custom implementation is registered, the SDK provides an in-memory default that is automatically registered by AddResponsesServer().
