Microsoft Agent Framework 1.24.0 Breaks Redis Memory Schema | The Agentic Stack

Microsoft Agent Framework Python 1.24.0 changes the beta RedisContextProvider scope schema and refuses to auto-migrate incompatible indexes. Persistent agent memory becomes a planned-downtime migration: delete the legacy raw-scope index and context hashes, let the new version create a fresh index, re-ingest context data, and move CI and runtime images to Python 3.11+. Mouli and Alice break down the builder checklist, the risk of false confidence around overwrite_index=True, and why agent memory now needs versioned migrations and operational discipline.

Keywords: Microsoft Agent Framework, RedisContextProvider, agent memory migration, Python 3.11, persistent agent memory, schema break, AI agent infrastructure.
