/// <remarks>
/// <para>
/// Applications must consider risks such as prompt injection attacks, data sizes, and the number of messages
/// sent to the underlying provider or returned from it. Unless a specific <see cref="IChatClient"/> implementation
/// explicitly documents safeguards for these concerns, the application is expected to implement appropriate protections.
/// </para>
/// <para>
/// Unless otherwise specified, all members of <see cref="IChatClient"/> are thread-safe for concurrent use.
/// It is expected that all implementations of <see cref="IChatClient"/> support being used by multiple requests concurrently.
/// Instances must not be disposed of while the instance is still in use.
/// </para>
/// <para>
/// However, implementations of <see cref="IChatClient"/> might mutate the arguments supplied to <see cref="GetResponseAsync"/> and
/// <see cref="GetStreamingResponseAsync"/>, such as by 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 <see cref="IChatClient"/> instances are used which might employ such mutation. For example, the ConfigureOptions method is
/// provided with a callback that could mutate the supplied options argument, and that should be avoided if using a singleton options instance.
