feat(agent): add tool-output and V2 escalation recipient types

kunaluipath · claude · kunaluipath · commit 2ddb1da5ba3f · 2026-06-05T19:33:50.000-04:00
Adds the agent + platform models needed for the V2 HITL escalation
recipient flow consumed by the langchain runtime.

uipath/agent/models:
- New literal recipient classes for Workload (9), RoundRobin (10), and
  CustomAssignees (11) matching the storage schema v50 surface.
- New ToolOutputRecipient class accepting types USER_ID/GROUP_ID/WORKLOAD/
  ROUND_ROBIN/CUSTOM_ASSIGNEES with source="toolOutput", toolName,
  outputPath fields for runtime-resolved assignees.
- ToolOutputRecipient listed first in the recipient Union so payloads
  carrying `source` match before falling through to literal variants.

uipath/platform/action_center:
- TaskRecipientType gains Workload and RoundRobin members.
- TaskRecipient gains an optional `values` list field for the
  multi-assignee assigneeNamesOrEmails payload.
- _tasks_service updated to forward the new fields when present.

Backwards-compatible: existing payloads without source/values parse and
serialize identically.
