.NET: AzureAI Package - Skip tool validation when UseProvidedChatClientAsIs is true (#4389 )

* Skip tool validation when UseProvidedChatClientAsIs is true (#3855)

When GetAIAgentAsync is called with ChatClientAgentOptions.UseProvidedChatClientAsIs = true,
skip requireInvocableTools validation so users can handle function calls manually
via custom ChatClient middleware without needing to provide matching AIFunction tools.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Simplify requireInvocableTools expression per review feedback

UseProvidedChatClientAsIs is a non-nullable bool, so use ! operator
instead of != true for clarity.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Decouple tool matching from validation and add tool preservation test (#3855)

Always match provided AIFunctions to server-side function definitions
regardless of requireInvocableTools flag. Only throw when validation
is required and no match is found. This ensures UseProvidedChatClientAsIs
still preserves user-provided AIFunction tools instead of falling back
to the broken ResponseToolAITool wrapper.

.NET: Fixing issue with invalid node Ids when visualizing dotnet workflows. (#4269 )

* Fix Mermaid rendering errors in WorkflowVisualizer.ToMermaidString

Fix two bugs in the Mermaid diagram output:

1. Use safe node aliases (node_0, node_1, ...) instead of raw executor IDs
   as Mermaid node identifiers. Raw IDs containing spaces, dots, or
   non-ASCII characters (e.g. Japanese) caused Mermaid parse errors.

2. Fix conditional edge arrow syntax from '.--> ' (invalid) to '.-> '
   (valid Mermaid dotted arrow syntax).

Fixes #1406

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Use recognizable sanitized IDs for Mermaid node identifiers\n\nReplace generic node_0/node_1 aliases with IDs derived from the original\nexecutor names. ASCII letters, digits, and underscores are preserved;\nother characters become underscores (collapsed, trimmed). Leading digits\nget an n_ prefix. Collisions are resolved with a numeric suffix.\n\nThis keeps node IDs readable in the Mermaid source while the display\nlabels continue to show the full original names."

* Remove issue number references from test names and comments"

* Address PR review feedback from Copilot\n\n- Add Throw.IfNull(id) guard to SanitizeMermaidNodeId\n- Add safety limit (10,000) to collision resolution loop\n- Restore missing edge assertions (middle1/middle2 --> end)\n- Fix comment to show actual sanitized ID (n_1_User_input)\n- Use stricter regex in Unicode test (must start with letter/underscore)"

* Address second round of PR review feedback\n\n- Escape node display labels via EscapeMermaidLabel to handle quotes,\n  brackets, and newlines in executor IDs\n- Fix XML doc on SanitizeMermaidNodeId to accurately describe that\n  existing consecutive underscores in input are preserved\n- Restore specific edge assertion (mid --> end) in conditional edge test\n- Restore fan-in routing assertions (s1/s2 through intermediate node,\n  no direct edges to t) in fan-in test"

Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Abstractions with the single-param
FunctionApprovalRequestContent.CreateResponse(bool). Version 10.3.0
changed the signature to include an optional reason parameter, causing
a binary incompatibility at runtime. Pin to 10.1.1 until the framework
is recompiled against the newer abstractions.

.NET: Fixing issue where OpenTelemetry span is never exported in .NET in-process workflow execution (#4196 )

* 1. Add reproduction test for issue #4155: workflow.run Activity never stopped in streaming OffThread path

The WorkflowRunActivity_IsStopped_Streaming_OffThread test demonstrates that
the workflow.run OpenTelemetry Activity created in StreamingRunEventStream.RunLoopAsync
is started but never stopped when using the OffThread/Default streaming execution.
The background run loop keeps running after event consumption completes, so the
using Activity? declaration never disposes until explicit StopAsync() is called.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

2. Fix workflow.run Activity never stopped in streaming OffThread execution (#4155)

The workflow.run OpenTelemetry Activity in StreamingRunEventStream.RunLoopAsync
was scoped to the method lifetime via 'using'. Since the run loop only exits on
cancellation, the Activity was never stopped/exported until explicit disposal.

Fix: Remove 'using' and explicitly dispose the Activity when the workflow reaches
Idle status (all supersteps complete). A safety-net disposal in the finally block
handles cancellation and error paths.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Add root-level workflow.session activity spanning run loop lifetime\n\nImplements two-level telemetry hierarchy per PR feedback from lokitoth:\n- workflow.session: spans the entire run loop / stream lifetime\n- workflow_invoke: per input-to-halt cycle, nested within the session\n\nThis ensures the session activity stays open across multiple turns,\nwhile individual run activities are created and disposed per cycle.\n\nAlso fixes linkedSource CancellationTokenSource disposal leak in\nStreamingRunEventStream (added using declaration)."

* Address Copilot review: fix Activity/CTS disposal, rename activity, add error tag\n\n1. LockstepRunEventStream: Remove 'using' from Activity in async iterator\n   and manually dispose in finally block (fixes #4155 pattern). Also dispose\n   linkedSource CTS in finally to prevent leak.\n2. Tags.cs: Add ErrorMessage (\"error.message\") tag for runtime errors,\n   distinct from BuildErrorMessage (\"build.error.message\").\n3. ActivityNames: Rename WorkflowRun from \"workflow_invoke\" to \"workflow.run\"\n   for cross-language consistency.\n4. WorkflowTelemetryContext: Fix XML doc to say \"outer/parent span\" instead\n   of \"root-level span\".\n5. ObservabilityTests: Assert WorkflowSession absence when DisableWorkflowRun\n   is true.\n6. WorkflowRunActivityStopTests: Fix streaming test race by disposing\n   StreamingRun before asserting activities are stopped.\n7. StreamingRunEventStream/LockstepRunEventStream: Use Tags.ErrorMessage\n   instead of Tags.BuildErrorMessage for runtime error events."

* Review fixes: revert workflow_invoke rename, use 'using' for linkedSource, move SessionStarted earlier\n\n- Revert ActivityNames.WorkflowRun back to \"workflow_invoke\" (OTEL semantic convention contract)\n- Use 'using' declaration for linkedSource CTS in LockstepRunEventStream (no timing sensitivity)\n- Move SessionStarted event before WaitForInputAsync in StreamingRunEventStream to match Lockstep behavior"

* Improve naming and comments in WorkflowRunActivityStopTests"

* Prevent session Activity.Current leak in lockstep mode, add nesting test

Save and restore Activity.Current in LockstepRunEventStream.Start() so the
session activity doesn't leak into caller code via AsyncLocal. Re-establish
Activity.Current = sessionActivity before creating the run activity in
TakeEventStreamAsync to preserve parent-child nesting.

Add test verifying app activities after RunAsync are not parented under the
session, and that the workflow_invoke activity nests under the session."

* Fix stale XML doc: WorkflowRun -> WorkflowInvoke in ObservabilityTests

.NET: Fix JSON arrays of objects parsed as empty records when no schema is defined (#4199 )

* fix: use HasSchema check in DetermineElementType to prevent empty records

When parsing JSON arrays containing objects without a predefined schema,
`DetermineElementType()` was creating a `VariableType` with an empty
(non-null) schema via `targetType.Schema?.Select(...) ?? []`. This caused
`ParseRecord` to take the schema-based parsing path, iterating over zero
schema fields and silently discarding all JSON properties.

The fix checks `targetType.HasSchema` and falls back to
`VariableType.RecordType` (which has `Schema = null`) when no schema is
defined, ensuring `ParseRecord` takes the dynamic `ParseValues()` path
that preserves all JSON properties.

Closes #4195

* test: add regression tests for schema-less JSON array-of-objects parsing (#4195)

Add two regression tests to JsonDocumentExtensionsTests:

1. ParseRecord_ObjectWithArrayOfObjects_NoSchema_PreservesNestedProperties
   - Parses a JSON object containing an array of objects using
     VariableType.RecordType (no schema) and verifies that nested
     object properties (name, role) are preserved in each element.
   - This is the exact scenario from issue #4195 where objects in
     arrays were being returned as empty dictionaries.

2. ParseList_ArrayOfObjects_NoSchema_PreservesProperties
   - Parses a JSON array of objects directly via ParseList with
     VariableType.ListType (no schema) and verifies all properties
     are preserved.

Both tests follow the existing Arrange/Act/Assert pattern and would
have failed before the DetermineElementType() fix (empty dictionaries
instead of populated ones).

.NET: Fix FunctionInvocationDelegatingAgent to preserve all AgentRunOptions properties (#4179 )

When converting base AgentRunOptions to ChatClientAgentRunOptions, the middleware
now preserves AllowBackgroundResponses, ContinuationToken, and AdditionalProperties
in addition to ResponseFormat.

Added unit test verifying all properties are preserved during the conversion.

.NET: [BREAKING] Workflows API Review Naming Changes (Part 1?) (#4090 )

* refactor: Normalize Run/RunStreaming with AIAgent

* refactor: Clarify Session vs. Run -level concepts

* Rename RunId to SessionId to better match Run/Session terminology in AIAgent
* [BREAKING]: Will break existing checkpointed sessions in CosmosDb due to field rename

* refactor: Rename and simplify interface around getting typed data out of ExternalRequest/Response

* Also adds hints around using value types in PortableValue

* refactor: Rename AddFanInEdge to AddFanInBarrierEdge

This will prevent a breaking change later when we introduce a programmable FanIn edge, analogous to the FanOut edge's EdgeSelector.

The goal, in the long run is to support a number of different FanIn scenarios, with naive FanIn (no barrier) by default, similar to FanOut.

* refactor: AsAgent(this Workflow, ...) => AsAIAgent(...)

* misc - part1: SwitchBuilder internal

.NET: Remove FunctionCalls and Tool Messages from Handoff passed messages (#3811 )

* Fix handoff orchestration not passing user message to handoff target agent (#3161)

Filter out internal handoff function call and tool result messages before
passing conversation history to the target agent's LLM. These messages
confused the model into ignoring the original user question.

* Add handoff tool call filtering behavior and enhance workflow builder

- Introduced HandoffToolCallFilteringBehavior enum to specify filtering behavior for tool call contents in handoff workflows.
- Updated HandoffsWorkflowBuilder to support customizable handoff instructions and tool call filtering behavior.
- Enhanced HandoffAgentExecutor to utilize new filtering options for improved message handling during agent handoffs.

* Enhance handoff message filtering logic and add unit tests for filtering behaviors

* Refactor HandoffMessagesFilter to remove unused handoff function names and enhance filtering logic for non-handoff function calls

* Refactor HandoffMessagesFilter to streamline FilterCandidateState initialization and improve clarity

* Refactor HandoffMessagesFilter to improve filtering logic and add integration tests for handoff workflows

* fix: HandoffAgentExecutor tests

.NET: Fix FoundryAgents_Step15_ComputerUse sample for Azure Agents API (#3989 )

* Fix FoundryAgents_Step15_ComputerUse sample for Azure Agents API

The Azure Agents API rejects previous_response_id alongside computer_call_output
items, unlike the vanilla OpenAI Responses API. This fix:

- Send all prior response output items (reasoning, computer_call, etc.) as input
  items in follow-up calls so the API has full conversation context
- Create a fresh session per call to avoid ConversationId/previous_response_id
- Use currentCallId instead of initialCallId for computer_call_output
- Clear ContinuationToken after polling to prevent stale tokens
- Remove unused initialCallId tracking variable
