Remarks
Unless otherwise specified, all members of IChatClient are thread-safe for concurrent use. It is expected that all implementations of IChatClient support being used by multiple requests concurrently.
However, implementations of IChatClient may mutate the arguments supplied to CompleteAsync(IList<ChatMessage>, ChatOptions, CancellationToken) and CompleteStreamingAsync(IList<ChatMessage>, ChatOptions, CancellationToken), such as by adding additional messages to the messages list or configuring the options instance. Thus, consumers of the interface either should avoid using shared instances of these arguments for concurrent invocations or should otherwise ensure by construction that no IChatClient instances are used which might employ such mutation. For example, the WithChatOptions method be provided with a callback that could mutate the supplied options argument, and that should be avoided if using a singleton options instance.
