What & Why

This PR standardizes the agent-related terminology throughout the Logic Apps Designer UI by renaming "agentic loop" to "agent".

Key Changes:

• UI Labels: Updated button text from "Add an agentic loop" to "Add an agent"
• Delete Modal: Changed "Delete agentic loop" to "Delete agent" and "Delete agentic loop tool" to "Delete agent tool"
• Operation Descriptions: Updated summary from "Agent Loop" to "Agent" and description from "Loop in which..." to "Action in which..."
• Error Messages: Simplified messages like "Cannot add subsequent actions below agentic loops in agent to agent workflows" to "Cannot add subsequent actions below agents in agent to agent workflows"
• Kind Change Dialog: Updated conversational workflow warning message to use consistent "agent" terminology

Files Modified:

• libs/designer-ui/src/lib/modals/DeleteNodeModal.tsx
• libs/designer/src/lib/ui/common/EdgeContextualMenu/EdgeContextualMenu.tsx
• libs/designer-v2/src/lib/ui/common/EdgeContextualMenu/EdgeContextualMenu.tsx
• libs/designer-v2/src/lib/ui/common/KindChangeDialog/KindChangeDialog.tsx
• libs/logic-apps-shared/src/designer-client-services/lib/base/operations/agent.ts
• libs/logic-apps-shared/src/designer-client-services/lib/consumption/manifests/agentloop.ts
• libs/logic-apps-shared/src/designer-client-services/lib/consumption/operations/agent.ts
• libs/logic-apps-shared/src/designer-client-services/lib/standard/manifest/agentloop.ts
• Localize/lang/strings.json (localization strings updated)

Impact of Change

• Users: Will see simplified and consistent "agent" terminology in the designer UI instead of "agentic loop"
• Developers: No API changes; purely UI string updates
• System: No performance or architecture impact

Test Plan

• Unit tests added/updated

PR Review Results

Thank you for your submission! Here's detailed feedback on your PR title and body compliance:

✅ PR Title

• Current: refactor(designer): Rename "agentic loop" terminology to "agent" across UI
• Issue: None — title is clear, scoped, and follows conventional commit style.
• Recommendation: Keep as-is.

---

✅ Commit Type Commit Type

• Properly selected (refactor).
• Only one commit type selected which is correct for these string/UX changes.

---

✅ Risk Level Risk Level

• The PR body selects Low and the PR has the risk:low label — these match.
• Advised risk from diff: risk:low (this PR changes UI/localization strings and non-behavioral labels and descriptions; small text/manifest edits and one unit test added). No change recommended.

---

✅ What & Why What & Why

• Current: This PR standardizes the agent-related terminology throughout the Logic Apps Designer UI by renaming "agentic loop" to "agent". The PR lists key UI, modal, and description updates and files modified.
• Issue: None — the summary is concise and explains intent.
• Recommendation: Optionally call out any follow-up steps (e.g., informing localization/translation teams about key removals/additions) in this section.

---

⚠️ Impact of Change Impact of Change

• Impact section is present and accurate for the most part, but please add a short note about potential consumers of changed manifest/operation descriptions.
• Recommendation: Expand the Impact section slightly to mention:
  • Users: Minor visible text changes in UI (already included).
  • Developers: Note that operation manifests and summary/description strings changed (search/consumers that depend on exact text/IDs should be verified). Suggest: "Verify no external code or telemetry depends on the exact string values or older localization IDs."
  • System: No perf/architecture impact (already stated).

---

✅ Test Plan Test Plan

• Assessment: PR claims Unit tests added/updated and Manual testing completed. The diff includes a new unit test file (KindChangeDialog.spec.tsx) which validates the dialog rendering and close action. E2E tests not added and that is acceptable for a refactor of UI strings provided manual test coverage is documented.
• Recommendation: If you expect any runtime behavior changes from manifest edits (operationType/summary/description), consider adding a small integration/E2E check or note why E2E isn't necessary. Also ensure CI coverage runs the new unit test.

---

⚠️ Contributors Contributors

• Assessment: Contributors section lists @ccastrotrejo. Good.
• Recommendation: Optionally mention PMs/designers or localization contacts if they helped with wording or translations.

---

⚠️ Screenshots/Videos Screenshots/Videos

• Assessment: Screenshot included in PR body. Good to have visual confirmation for UI text changes.
• Recommendation: None required.

Summary Table

Section	Status	Recommendation
Title	✅	Keep as-is.
Commit Type	✅	Keep as-is.
Risk Level	✅	Keep risk:low.
What & Why	✅	Optionally add translation/next-step note.
Impact of Change	⚠️	Add note to verify consumers of changed manifest strings.
Test Plan	✅	Unit test added; consider CI/E2E note if needed.
Contributors	⚠️	Optional: credit any PM/Designer/localization reviewers.
Screenshots/Videos	✅	Screenshot included.

Final guidance
Please update only if you want to add the optional clarifications mentioned: a short line in What & Why about notifying localization/translation teams and a small note in Impact of Change to verify consumers of changed manifest/operation strings (if any). Otherwise this PR is good to merge: title and body comply with the template, risk label matches, unit test added, and the changes are consistent with the stated intent.

Thank you for the clear PR — nice, focused refactor!
