## Remarks

The most critical scenario is reading back a *polymorphic payload
without corruption*: the Microsoft Agent Framework checkpoint JSON
carries a `$type` discriminator that must be the first property of
the object it appears in. A store that reorders object keys on write can
silently take the discriminator out of first place, so a compliant
implementation must preserve key order.

### <a id="Tracon_Testing_Contracts_Storage_WorkflowCheckpointStoreContract_SeedAsync_System_String_System_String_System_Threading_CancellationToken_"></a> SeedAsync\(string, string, CancellationToken\)

Writes a sample record for the given tenant.
