• Python: Support Agent Skills (#4210)

  * Python: Support Agent Skills
  
  Add FileAgentSkillsProvider, a context provider that discovers and exposes
  Agent Skills from filesystem directories following the Agent Skills
  specification (https://agentskills.io/) progressive disclosure pattern:
  advertise, load, read resources.
  
  Changes:
  - FileAgentSkillsProvider - discovers SKILL.md files from configured
    directories, advertises skills via system prompt injection, and provides
    load_skill / read_skill_resource tools for on-demand access.
  - Internal helpers for skill discovery, frontmatter parsing, and secure
    resource reading (path traversal / symlink guards).
  - Unit tests covering discovery, loading, resource reading, and security
    scenarios.
  - Sample (basic_file_skills) demonstrating usage with an expense-report skill.

• Python: Fixing issue #1366 - Thread corruption when max_iterations is reached. (#4234)

  * Fix thread corruption when max_iterations exhausted (#1366)
  
  When the function invocation loop exhausts max_iterations while the model
  keeps requesting tools, the failsafe code path (calling the model with
  tool_choice='none' and prepending fcc_messages) was unreachable because
  'if response is not None: return response' short-circuited before it.
  
  The fix removes the premature return so the failsafe always runs after
  loop exhaustion, making a final model call with tool_choice='none' to
  produce a clean text answer and prepending accumulated fcc_messages from
  prior iterations. This matches the existing pattern used by the error
  threshold and max_function_calls paths.
  
  Also unskips test_max_iterations_limit and test_streaming_max_iterations_limit
  which were previously skipped with 'needs investigation in unified API'.

  * Remove temporary investigation docs.
  
  * Address PR review: explicit enabled check in log condition, clarify mock behavior in test
  
  - Add explicit function_invocation_configuration['enabled'] check to the
    'Maximum iterations reached' log condition in both non-streaming and
    streaming paths, making intent clearer when function invocation is disabled.
  - Add comment in test_thread_safe_after_max_iterations_with_agent explaining
    that the failsafe response (tool_choice='none') is provided automatically
    by the mock client, not from run_responses.
  
  * Blend fix and tests into project without issue-specific callouts
  
  - Remove issue #1366 references from _tools.py comments
  - Move regression tests from standalone test_issue_1366_thread_corruption.py
    into test_function_invocation_logic.py alongside existing max_iterations tests
  - Clean up test docstrings to describe behavior generically
  - Delete the standalone issue-specific test file

  * fix: remove duplicate --dist loadfile flag from pytest-xdist config

  * refactor: remove RUN_INTEGRATION_TESTS flag
  
  Integration test gating now uses two mechanisms:
  - `@pytest.mark.integration` for test selection via `-m` filtering
  - `skip_if_*_disabled` for credential/service availability checks
  
  The RUN_INTEGRATION_TESTS env var was redundant since the marker handles
  selection and the skip decorators already check for actual credentials.

• Python: feat(python): Add embedding abstractions and OpenAI implementation (Phase 1) (#4153)

  * feat(python): Add embedding abstractions and OpenAI implementation (Phase 1)
  
  This PR contains two parts:
  
  1. **Overall migration plan** for porting vector stores and embeddings from
     Semantic Kernel to Agent Framework (docs/features/vector-stores-and-embeddings/README.md)
     covering all 10 phases from core abstractions through connectors and TextSearch.
  
  2. **Phase 1 implementation** — core embedding abstractions and OpenAI/Azure OpenAI
     embedding clients:
  
     Core types (_types.py):
     - EmbeddingGenerationOptions TypedDict (total=False)
     - Embedding[EmbeddingT] generic class with model_id, dimensions, created_at
     - GeneratedEmbeddings[EmbeddingT, EmbeddingOptionsT] list container with options, usage
     - EmbeddingInputT (default str) and EmbeddingT (default list[float]) TypeVars
  
     Protocol + base class (_clients.py):
     - SupportsGetEmbeddings protocol — Generic[EmbeddingInputT, EmbeddingT, OptionsContraT]
     - BaseEmbeddingClient ABC — Generic[EmbeddingInputT, EmbeddingT, OptionsCoT]
  
     Telemetry (observability.py):
     - EmbeddingTelemetryLayer with gen_ai.operation.name = "embeddings"
  
     OpenAI implementation (openai/_embedding_client.py):
     - RawOpenAIEmbeddingClient, OpenAIEmbeddingClient, OpenAIEmbeddingOptions
     - Uses _ensure_client() factory pattern
  
     Azure OpenAI implementation (azure/_embedding_client.py):
     - AzureOpenAIEmbeddingClient following AzureOpenAIChatClient pattern
     - Supports API key, Entra ID credentials, env var configuration
  
     Tests:
     - 47 unit tests for types, protocol, base class, OpenAI, and Azure clients
     - 6 integration tests (gated behind RUN_INTEGRATION_TESTS + credentials)
  
     Samples:
     - samples/02-agents/embeddings/openai_embeddings.py
     - samples/02-agents/embeddings/azure_openai_embeddings.py

  * fix: Handle base64 encoding_format in OpenAI embedding client
  
  When encoding_format='base64' is used, the OpenAI API returns base64-encoded
  floats instead of a JSON array. Decode these automatically to list[float]
  so the return type stays consistent regardless of encoding format.
  
  Also adds a unit test for base64 decoding and fixes minor docstring/import issues.

  GeneratedEmbeddings is invariant in its type param, so the Protocol
  TypeVar cannot be covariant.

  - Add service_url() method to RawOpenAIEmbeddingClient for proper telemetry endpoint reporting
  - Add test for empty values behavior

• Python: Add max_function_calls to FunctionInvocationConfiguration (#2329) (#4175)

  * Add max_function_calls to FunctionInvocationConfiguration (#2329)
  
  Add a new per-request max_function_calls setting to FunctionInvocationConfiguration
  that limits the total number of individual function invocations across all iterations
  within a single get_response call. This complements max_iterations (which limits LLM
  roundtrips) by providing a hard cap on actual tool executions regardless of parallelism.
  
  - Add max_function_calls field to FunctionInvocationConfiguration (default: None/unlimited)
  - Track cumulative function call count in both streaming and non-streaming tool loops
  - Force tool_choice='none' when the limit is reached
  - Add validation in normalize_function_invocation_configuration
  - Improve docstrings for FunctionInvocationConfiguration, FunctionTool, and @tool
    to clarify semantics of max_iterations vs max_function_calls vs max_invocations
  - Add tests for parallel calls, single calls, unlimited mode, and config validation
  
  Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
  
  * Add sample for controlling total tool executions
  
  Showcases all three mechanisms for limiting tool executions:
  1. max_iterations — caps LLM roundtrips
  2. max_function_calls — caps total individual function invocations per request
  3. max_invocations — lifetime cap on a specific tool instance
  Plus a combined scenario demonstrating defense in depth.

  * Suppress ruff E305/fmt in hosting sample to preserve XML doc tags
  
  The XML snippet tags (# <create_agent> / # </create_agent>) are used for
  docs extraction and must stay adjacent to the code they wrap. Both ruff
  check (E305) and ruff format add blank lines after the function definition,
  pushing the closing tag away. Suppress with ruff: noqa: E305 and fmt: off.

  * Add per-agent tool wrapping scenario to control_total_tool_executions sample

  independent FunctionTool instances with separate invocation counters,

  - Extend AgentResponse.from_updates() to accept optional value parameter
  - Remove structured_output yield from _get_stream()
  - Update _finalize_response() to pass value via public API
  - Update streaming test to use get_final_response()

• Python: fix reasoning model workflow handoff and history serialization (#4083)

  * fix: strip function_call and text_reasoning from cross-agent workflow handoff
  
  When a reasoning model (e.g. gpt-5-mini) runs as Agent 1 in a workflow, its
  response includes text_reasoning items (with server-scoped IDs like rs_XXXX)
  and function_call items. Forwarding these to Agent 2 in a fresh conversation
  caused API errors because the reasoning/call IDs are scoped to the original
  stored response context.
  
  Changes:
  - Strip 'function_call', 'text_reasoning', 'function_approval_request', and
    'function_approval_response' from handoff messages in _agent_executor.py
  - Keep 'function_result' so the actual tool output content is preserved for
    the next agent's context
  - Update unit tests to reflect that function_result messages survive handoff
    (messages grow from 2→3: user, tool(result), assistant(summary))
  - Fix incorrect test assertions in test_function_invocation_stop_clears_*
    that assumed the client layer updates session.service_session_id
  - Also fixed _extract_function_calls to search all messages with call_id
    deduplication, and the error-limit stop path to submit function_call_output
    items before halting (via tool_choice=none cleanup call)

  * fix: reasoning model workflow handoff and history serialization
  
  Fixes multiple related issues when using reasoning models (gpt-5-mini,
  gpt-5.2) in multi-agent workflows that chain agents via from_response
  or replay full conversation history via AgentExecutorRequest.
  
  ## Reasoning items always emitted on output_item.added
  
  When a reasoning model produces encrypted or hidden reasoning (no
  visible text), the Responses API still fires a reasoning output item
  without any reasoning_text.delta events. Previously no text_reasoning
  Content was emitted in that case, making it invisible to downstream
  logic. Both the non-streaming (_parse_response_from_openai) and
  streaming (output_item.added) paths now always emit at least one
  text_reasoning Content — with empty text if no content is available —
  so co-occurrence detection and serialization guards work reliably.
  
  ## Reasoning items only serialized when paired with a function_call
  
  The Responses API only accepts reasoning items in input when they
  directly preceded a function_call in the original response. Sending a
  reasoning item that preceded a text response (no tool call) causes:
    "reasoning was provided without its required following item"
  _prepare_message_for_openai now checks has_function_call per message
  and skips text_reasoning serialization when there is no accompanying
  function_call.
  
  ## summary field is an array, not an object
  
  The reasoning item summary field sent to the Responses API must be an
  array of objects ([{"type": "summary_text", "text": ...}]), not a
  single object. Fixed _prepare_content_for_openai accordingly.
  
  ## service_session_id cleared when explicit history is provided
  
  When a workflow coordinator replays a full conversation (including
  function calls from a previous agent run) back to an executor via
  AgentExecutorRequest or from_response, the executor's session still
  held a service_session_id (previous_response_id) from the prior run.
  The API then received the same function-call items twice — once from
  previous_response_id (server-stored) and once from the explicit input —
  causing: "Duplicate item found with id fc_...".
  
  AgentExecutor.run (when should_respond=True) and from_response now
  reset self._session.service_session_id = None before running so that
  explicit input is the sole source of conversation context.

  * small improvements in text reasoning
  
  * refactor: add reset_service_session to AgentExecutorRequest for explicit history replay
  
  Replace the implicit 'always clear service_session_id when should_respond=True'
  with an explicit opt-in field on AgentExecutorRequest.
  
  The old approach used should_respond=True as a proxy for 'full history replay',
  but that conflates two distinct intents:
  - Orchestrations group chat sends should_respond=True with an empty/single-message
    list (not a full replay) — unnecessarily clearing service_session_id.
  - HITL / feedback coordinators send the full prior conversation and truly need
    a fresh service session ID to avoid duplicate-item API errors.
  
  Changes:
  - Add AgentExecutorRequest.reset_service_session: bool = False
  - AgentExecutor.run only clears service_session_id when this flag is True
  - AgentExecutor.from_response unchanged (always clears; always full conversation)
  - Set reset_service_session=True in all full-history-replay call sites:
    agents_with_HITL.py, azure_chat_agents_tool_calls_with_feedback.py,
    autogen-migration round-robin coordinator, tau2 runner
  - Update _FullHistoryReplayCoordinator test helper to pass the flag

• Python: [BREAKING] Redesign Python exception hierarchy (#4082)

  * [BREAKING] Redesign Python exception hierarchy
  
  Replace the flat ServiceException family with domain-scoped branches:
  - AgentException (with InvalidAuth, InvalidRequest, InvalidResponse, ContentFilter)
  - ChatClientException (same consistent suberrors)
  - IntegrationException (same + InitializationError)
  - WorkflowException (Runner, Convergence, Checkpoint, Validation, Action, Declarative)
  - ContentError (AdditionItemMismatch)
  - ToolException / ToolExecutionException (unchanged)
  - MiddlewareException / MiddlewareTermination (unchanged)
  
  Key changes:
  - All Service* exceptions removed (ServiceException, ServiceInitializationError, etc.)
  - AgentExecutionException split into AgentInvalidRequest/ResponseException
  - AgentInvocationError removed, split into AgentInvalidRequest/ResponseException
  - Workflow exceptions moved from _workflows/_exceptions.py into main exceptions.py
  - _workflows/__init__.py emptied; main __init__.py imports directly from submodules
  - Purview exceptions re-parented under IntegrationException hierarchy
  - Init validation errors use built-in ValueError/TypeError instead of custom exceptions
  - CODING_STANDARD.md updated with hierarchy design and rationale
  
  Fixes microsoft/agent-framework#3410

• Python: [BREAKING] Remove FunctionTool[Any] compatibility shim for schema passthrough (#3600) (#3907)

  * Fix #3600: Pass JSON schemas through without Pydantic conversion
  
  This change optimizes FunctionTool and MCP flows by passing JSON schemas
  directly to providers without converting them to Pydantic models first.
  
  Key changes:
  - Store JSON schema as-is when supplied to FunctionTool
  - Skip Pydantic model_validate for schema-supplied tools in invoke()
  - Return MCP tool schemas directly without conversion
  - Add comprehensive tests for schema passthrough behavior
  
  Performance benefits:
  - Eliminates expensive Pydantic model creation for supplied schemas
  - Preserves exact schema structure (additionalProperties, custom fields, etc.)
  - Reduces memory overhead and initialization time
  
  Maintains backward compatibility:
  - Function signature inference still uses Pydantic models
  - Explicit Pydantic models passed as input_model work as before
  - All existing tests pass
  
  * Fix schema passthrough validation and remove helper
  
  * Simplify FunctionTool without generic model dependency
  
  * Fix FunctionTool typing fallout in 3600
  
  * Remove FunctionTool[Any] compatibility shim
  
  * Use serializable kwargs in OTEL tool args

  * fix: prevent repeating instructions in continued Responses API conversations
  
  - Instructions are now only prepended to messages on the first turn
  - When conversation_id/response_id exists (continuation), instructions are skipped
  - Covers OpenAI and Azure Responses API paths
  - Adds regression tests for all continuation scenarios
  
  Fixes #3498
  
  * Apply lint fixes to continuation tests
  
  * Consolidate responses continuation tests

• Python: [BREAKING] PR2 — Wire context provider pipeline, remove old types, update all consumers (#3850)

  * PR2: Wire context provider pipeline and update all internal consumers
  
  - Replace AgentThread with AgentSession across all packages
  - Replace ContextProvider with BaseContextProvider across all packages
  - Replace context_provider param with context_providers (Sequence)
  - Replace thread= with session= in run() signatures
  - Replace get_new_thread() with create_session()
  - Add get_session(service_session_id) to agent interface
  - DurableAgentThread -> DurableAgentSession
  - Remove _notify_thread_of_new_messages from WorkflowAgent
  - Wire before_run/after_run context provider pipeline in RawAgent
  - Auto-inject InMemoryHistoryProvider when no providers configured
  
  * fix: update all tests for context provider pipeline, fix lazy-loaders, remove old test files
  
  * refactor: update all sample files for context provider pipeline (AgentThread→AgentSession, ContextProvider→BaseContextProvider)
  
  * fix: update remaining ag-ui references (client docstring, getting_started sample)
  
  * fix: make get_session service_session_id keyword-only to avoid confusion with session_id
  
  * refactor: rename _RunContext.thread_messages to session_messages
  
  * refactor: remove _threads.py, _memory.py, and old provider files; migrate devui to use plain message lists
  
  * rename: remove _new_ prefix from test files
  
  * refactor: rewrite SlidingWindowChatMessageStore as SlidingWindowHistoryProvider(InMemoryHistoryProvider)
  
  * fix: read full history from session state directly instead of reaching into provider internals
  
  * fix: update stale .pyi stubs, sample imports, and README references for new provider types
  
  * fix: remove stale message_store, _notify_thread_of_new_messages, and session_id.key references in samples
  
  * refactor: merge context_providers and sessions sample folders into sessions, remove aggregate_context_provider
  
  * refactor: UserInfoMemory stores state in session.state instead of instance attributes
  
  * feat: add Pydantic BaseModel support to session state serialization
  
  Pydantic models stored in session.state are now automatically serialized
  via model_dump() and restored via model_validate() during to_dict()/from_dict()
  round-trips. Models are auto-registered on first serialization; use
  register_state_type() for cold-start deserialization.
  
  Also export register_state_type as a public API.
  
  * fix mem0
  
  * Update sample README links and descriptions for session terminology
  
  - Replace 'thread' with 'session' in sample descriptions across all READMEs
  - Update file links for renamed samples (mem0_sessions, redis_sessions, etc.)
  - Fix Threads section → Sessions section in main samples/README.md
  - Update tools, middleware, workflows, durabletask, azure_functions READMEs
  - Update architecture diagrams in concepts/tools/README.md
  - Update migration guides (autogen, semantic-kernel)
  
  * Fix broken Redis README link to renamed sample
  
  * Fix Mem0 OSS client search: pass scoping params as direct kwargs
  
  AsyncMemory (OSS) expects user_id/agent_id/run_id as direct kwargs,
  while AsyncMemoryClient (Platform) expects them in a filters dict.
  Adds tests for both client types.
  
  Port of fix from #3844 to new Mem0ContextProvider.
  
  * Fix rebase issues: restore missing _conversation_state.py and checkpoint decode logic
  
  - Add back _conversation_state.py (encode/decode_chat_messages) lost in rebase
  - Fix on_checkpoint_restore to decode cache/conversation with decode_chat_messages
  - Fix on_checkpoint_restore to use decode_checkpoint_value for pending requests
  - Add tests/workflow/__init__.py for relative import support
  - Fix test_agent_executor checkpoint selection (checkpoints[1] not superstep)
  
  * Add STORES_BY_DEFAULT ClassVar to skip redundant InMemoryHistoryProvider injection
  
  Chat clients that store history server-side by default (OpenAI Responses API,
  Azure AI Agent) now declare STORES_BY_DEFAULT = True. The agent checks this
  during auto-injection and skips InMemoryHistoryProvider unless the user
  explicitly sets store=False.
  
  * Fix broken markdown links in azure_ai and redis READMEs
  
  * Fix getting-started samples to use session API instead of removed thread/ContextProvider API
  
  * updates to workflow as agent
  
  * fix group chat import
  
  * Rename Thread→Session throughout, fix service_session_id propagation, remove stale AGUIThread
  
  - Fix: Propagate conversation_id from ChatResponse back to session.service_session_id
    in both streaming and non-streaming paths in _agents.py
  - Rename AgentThreadException → AgentSessionException
  - Remove stale AGUIThread from ag_ui lazy-loader
  - Rename use_service_thread → use_service_session in ag-ui package
  - Rename test functions from *_thread_* to *_session_*
  - Rename sample files from *_thread* to *_session*
  - Update docstrings and comments: thread → session
  - Update _mcp.py kwargs filter: add 'session' alongside 'thread'
  - Fix ContinuationToken docstring example: thread=thread → session=session
  - Fix _clients.py docstring: 'Agent threads' → 'Agent sessions'
  
  * Fix broken markdown links after thread→session file renames
  
  * fix azure ai test

• Python: restructure: Python samples into progressive 01-05 layout (#3862)

  * restructure: Python samples into progressive 01-05 layout
  
  - 01-get-started/: 6 numbered steps (hello agent → hosting)
  - 02-agents/: all agent concept samples (tools, middleware, providers, etc.)
  - 03-workflows/: ALL existing workflow samples preserved as-is
  - 04-hosting/: azure-functions, durabletask, a2a
  - 05-end-to-end/: demos, evaluation, hosted agents
  - Old files moved to _to_delete/ for review
  - Added AGENTS.md with structure documentation
  - autogen-migration/ and semantic-kernel-migration/ preserved at root
  
  * fix: switch to AzureOpenAI Foundry, fix CI failures
  
  - Switch all 01-get-started samples to AzureOpenAIResponsesClient with
    Azure AI Foundry project endpoint (AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT +
    AZURE_OPENAI_RESPONSES_DEPLOYMENT_NAME + AzureCliCredential)
  - Add _to_delete/ and 05-end-to-end/ to pyrightconfig.samples.json excludes
  - Fix test paths in packages/ that referenced old getting_started/ dirs:
    durabletask conftest + streaming test, azurefunctions conftest,
    devui conftest + capture_messages + openai_sdk_integration
  - Fix workflow_as_agent_human_in_the_loop.py import (sibling import)
  - Update hosting READMEs and tool comment paths
  - Replace root README.md with new structure overview
  - Update AGENTS.md to document Azure OpenAI Foundry as default provider
  
  * cleanup: remove _to_delete folder, copy resource files to active dirs
  
  All files in _to_delete/ were either:
  - Exact duplicates of files in the new structure (240 files)
  - Same file with only comment path updates (100 files)
  - One import-fix diff (workflow_as_agent_human_in_the_loop.py)
  - One superseded minimal_sample.py
  
  Resource files (sample.pdf, countries.json, employees.pdf, weather.json)
  copied to 02-agents/sample_assets/ and 02-agents/resources/ since active
  samples reference them.
  
  * fix: address PR review comments, centralize resources, remove root duplicates
  
  - Fix type annotation in 04_memory.py (string union -> proper types)
  - Fix old sample paths in observability files
  - Fix grammar/spelling in observability samples
  - Move sample_assets/ and resources/ to shared/ folder
  - Remove 8 duplicate observability files from 02-agents root
  - Update resource path references in multimodal_input and provider samples
  
  * fix: update broken links from old getting_started paths to new structure
  
  - Update relative paths in READMEs: getting_started/ → 01-get-started/,
    02-agents/, 03-workflows/, 04-hosting/, 05-end-to-end/
  - Fix absolute GitHub URLs in package READMEs
  - Fix broken link in ollama package README
  
  * fix: convert absolute GitHub URLs to relative paths for link checker
  
  Absolute URLs to python/samples/ on main branch 404 until PR merges.
  Converted to relative paths that linkspector can verify locally.
  
  * fix: update link for handoff sample moved to orchestrations/
  
  * fix: update chatkit-integration README path from demos/ to 05-end-to-end/
  
  * fix: update broken links in orchestrations README to match flat directory structure

• Python: Centralize tool result parsing in FunctionTool.invoke() (#3854)

  * Centralize tool result parsing in FunctionTool.invoke()
  
  - Add parse_result static method to FunctionTool that converts raw
    function return values to strings at invocation time
  - Add result_parser parameter to FunctionTool and @tool decorator
    for custom parsing
  - Remove prepare_function_call_results from all 9 consumer files
    and from the public API
  - Update MCPTool to parse MCP types directly to strings via
    _parse_tool_result_from_mcp and _parse_prompt_result_from_mcp
  - Change MCPTool parse_tool_results/parse_prompt_results type from
    Literal[True] | Callable | None to Callable | None
  - Remove ReturnT type parameter from FunctionTool (now single
    generic ArgsT since invoke() always returns str)
  - Update all subclass signatures and docstrings
  
  Fixes #1147
  
  * Fix test_mcp_tool_call_tool_with_meta_integration for string results
  
  The test was still accessing result[0].additional_properties but
  invoke() now returns a string, not a list of Content objects.
  
  * Fix SIM108 lint: use binary operator for output assignment
  
  * Fix bedrock: use FunctionTool.parse_result instead of str() fallback
  
  str(result) turns None into literal 'None' and dicts into Python reprs
  with single quotes, breaking JSON parsing. Use the shared parse_result
  which handles None as '' and serializes via json.dumps.

• Python: Replace Pydantic Settings with TypedDict + load_settings() (#3843)

  * Replace Pydantic Settings with TypedDict + load_settings()
  
  - Remove pydantic-settings dependency, add python-dotenv
  - Delete _pydantic.py (AFBaseSettings, HTTPsUrl)
  - Add _settings.py with generic load_settings() function, SecretString,
    type coercion, and Required field validation (SettingNotFoundError)
  - Convert all 13 settings classes from AFBaseSettings subclasses to
    TypedDict definitions with load_settings() calls
  - Update all consumers from attribute access to dict access
  - Add 20 unit tests for load_settings() covering basic loading, dotenv,
    SecretString, type coercion, and required field validation
  - Update all existing tests for new settings patterns
  
  * Fix mypy type errors from settings conversion
  
  - Fix str | None attribute access in responses_client (walrus operator)
  - Fix SecretString | None narrowing in bedrock (type: ignore after guard)
  - Convert _context_provider.py attribute access to dict access (missed file)
  - Fix endpoint type narrowing in search_provider and context_provider
  - Fix purview: str | None .rstrip(), int | None defaults, urlparse bytes
  
  * Address PR review: required_fields param, type validation, fixes
  
  - Move required field validation from TypedDict annotations (Required)
    to a required_fields parameter on load_settings(), enabling runtime
    decisions about which fields are required
  - Remove Required imports and restore from __future__ import annotations
    in ollama and foundry_local
  - Add _check_override_type() for deterministic ServiceInitializationError
    on invalid override types (e.g. dict passed for str field)
  - Fix all multi-exception test catches back to single exception type
  - Fix Ollama host=None: use .get() so None is passed through to SDK default
  - Fix Purview processor: use explicit is-None checks instead of or operator
  - Remove unused BaseModel import from openai/_shared.py
  - Add 4 new tests (24 total): required_fields param, type validation
  
  * Fix type validation: allow int for float fields
  
  _check_override_type now permits int values for float-typed fields,
  matching Python's standard numeric promotion behavior.
  
  * fix: wrap urlparse arg with str() to fix mypy bytes endswith error

• Python: Allow AzureOpenAIResponsesClient creation with Foundry project endpoint (#3814)

  * Initial plan
  
  * feat: extend AzureOpenAIResponsesClient to support Foundry project endpoints
  
  Add project_client and project_endpoint parameters to allow creating
  the client via an Azure AI Foundry project. When provided, the client
  uses AIProjectClient.get_openai_client() to obtain the OpenAI client.
  The azure-ai-projects package is imported lazily and only required
  when using the project endpoint path.

• Python: [BREAKING] Simplify API: ChatAgent -> Agent, ChatMessage -> Message (#3747)

  * [BREAKING] Rename ChatAgent -> Agent, ChatMessage -> Message, ChatClientProtocol -> SupportsChatGetResponse
  
  Simplify the public API by removing redundant 'Chat' prefix from core types:
  - ChatAgent -> Agent
  - RawChatAgent -> RawAgent
  - ChatMessage -> Message
  - ChatClientProtocol -> SupportsChatGetResponse
  
  Also renamed internal WorkflowMessage (was Message in _runner_context) to avoid collision.
  
  No backward compatibility aliases - this is a clean breaking change.
  
  * [BREAKING] Rename Agent chat_client parameter to client
  
  * Fix rebase issues: WorkflowMessage references and broken markdown links
  
  * Fix formatting and lint issues from code quality checks
  
  * Fix import ordering in workflow sample files
  
  * fixed rebase
  
  * Fix test failures: use WorkflowMessage and A2AMessage after ChatMessage→Message rename
  
  - Replace Message(data=..., source_id=...) with WorkflowMessage(...) in workflow tests
  - Fix isinstance check in A2A agent to use A2AMessage instead of Message
  - Fix import in test_workflow_observability.py (Message→WorkflowMessage)
  
  * Fix lint, fmt, and sample errors after ChatMessage→Message rename

• Python: PR1 — New session and context provider types (side-by-side) (#3763)

  * PR1: Add core context provider types and tests
  
  New types in _sessions.py (no changes to existing code):
  - SessionContext: per-invocation state with extend_messages/get_messages/
    extend_instructions/extend_tools and read-only response property
  - _ContextProviderBase: base class with before_run/after_run hooks
  - _HistoryProviderBase: storage base with load/store flags, abstract
    get_messages/save_messages, default before_run/after_run
  - AgentSession: lightweight session with state dict, to_dict/from_dict
  - InMemoryHistoryProvider: built-in provider storing in session.state
  
  35 unit tests covering all classes and configuration flags.
  
  * feat: keyword-only params, stateless InMemoryHistoryProvider, deep serialization
  
  - Make before_run/after_run parameters keyword-only
  - InMemoryHistoryProvider stores ChatMessage objects directly (no per-cycle serialization)
  - Deep serialization via to_dict/from_dict only at session boundary
  - State type registry for automatic deserialization of registered types
  - Updated tests for new serialization approach
  
  * feat: add new-pattern provider implementations for external packages
  
  - _RedisContextProvider(BaseContextProvider) - Redis search/vector context
  - _RedisHistoryProvider(BaseHistoryProvider) - Redis-backed message storage
  - _Mem0ContextProvider(BaseContextProvider) - Mem0 semantic memory
  - _AzureAISearchContextProvider(BaseContextProvider) - Azure AI Search (semantic + agentic)
  
  All use temporary _ prefix names for side-by-side coexistence with existing providers.
  Will be renamed in PR2 when old ContextProvider/ChatMessageStore are removed.
  
  * test: add tests for new-pattern provider implementations
  
  - 32 tests for _RedisContextProvider and _RedisHistoryProvider
  - 29 tests for _Mem0ContextProvider
  - 17 tests for _AzureAISearchContextProvider
  
  * fix: address PR review comments and CI failures
  
  - Move module docstring before imports in _sessions.py (review comment)
  - Import TYPE_CHECKING unconditionally in Redis _context_provider.py (NameError on Python <3.12)
  - Fix Mem0 test_init_auto_creates_client_when_none to patch at class level
  
  * feat: add source attribution to extend_messages
  
  Set attribution marker in additional_properties for each message
  added via extend_messages(), matching the tool attribution pattern.
  Uses setdefault to preserve any existing attribution.
  
  * refactor: make attribution value a dict with source_id key
  
  * add attribution and use sets for filters
  
  * Add source_type to message attribution and copy messages in extend_messages
  
  - SessionContext.extend_messages now accepts source as str or object with
    source_id attribute; when an object is passed, its class name is recorded
    as source_type in the attribution dict
  - Messages are shallow-copied before attribution is added so callers'
    original objects are never mutated
  - Filter framework-internal keys (attribution) from A2A wire metadata
    to prevent leaking internal state over the wire
  
  * fix: correct mypy type: ignore comment from union-attr to attr-defined
  
  * set attribution to _attribution
  
  * adjusted naming of bools
