ACT framework adds stateful components with new session management

The ACT (Application Component Technology) framework has released version 0.7, introducing stateful component support through a new `act:sessions/session-provider` interface. This update addresses the need for components to manage persistent state, such as database connections or parsed API specifications, which was previously handled insecurely via thread-local storage. The new interface allows components to opt into session management, with the host validating arguments and managing the lifecycle of these sessions, ensuring cleaner state handling and improved security.

IMPACT Enables more complex and stateful AI agents by providing robust session management for components.
