* feat(python): add agent-framework-hosting-mcp channel
Add a hosting channel that exposes the host target (agent or workflow)
as a single Model Context Protocol tool over Streamable HTTP. The tool
invocation routes through the host pipeline (ChannelContext.run/
run_stream) so sessions, linking, and run/response hooks apply. Maps the
MCP request context to a ChannelSession isolation key and ChannelIdentity,
and forwards streaming output as MCP progress notifications.
Includes tests, README, and workspace registration.

* feat(python): add agent-framework-hosting-a2a channel
Add a hosting channel that exposes the host target (agent or workflow)
as a peer agent over the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol (JSON-RPC plus a
served agent card). Requests are handled by a host-routed
HostAgentExecutor that drives the host pipeline (ChannelContext.run/
run_stream) instead of wrapping the target directly, so sessions,
linking, and run/response hooks apply. Maps the A2A conversation/context
id to a ChannelSession isolation key and the caller to a ChannelIdentity;
streaming emits incremental task artifacts.
Includes tests, README, and workspace registration.

* Add push support to ActivityProtocolChannel
Implement the ChannelPush protocol so the Activity Protocol channel can
receive cross-channel fan-out (ResponseTarget.all_linked) and echo_input
replay as a non-originating destination:
- Add push() that reconstructs a proactive Bot Framework activity (bot/user
swap) from the stored conversation reference and POSTs it to
/v3/conversations/{id}/activities.
- Record a ChannelIdentity (service_url, conversation, bot, user, channel_id,
locale) on ChannelRequest.identity so the host registers the channel under
its isolation key for fan-out resolution.
- Route the streaming path through deliver_response so Activity-originated
turns broadcast like Telegram/Discord.
- Add tests for push delivery, service_url validation, ChannelPush instance
check, and inbound identity recording.

* Don't delete Telegram webhook on shutdown by default
The TelegramChannel deleted its webhook on shutdown in webhook mode. During
a rolling redeploy the new revision registers the webhook on startup, then
the old revision's shutdown deletes it, silently breaking inbound delivery
until the next boot. setWebhook is overwriting/idempotent, so startup
re-asserts the webhook every boot and no teardown is needed.
Add a delete_webhook_on_shutdown flag (default False) so teardown is opt-in
for ephemeral deployments, and leave the webhook in place otherwise.

* Fix Activity channel streaming on non-Teams channels (405 on updateActivity)
The Activity Protocol channel streamed replies the Teams way: POST a
placeholder, then PUT-edit it as tokens arrive. Only Teams supports the
updateActivity REST op; Web Chat, Direct Line and the Emulator return
405 Method Not Allowed on the PUT, so the user saw only the placeholder.
Gate the placeholder+edit flow on edit-capable channels (msteams). Other
channels now buffer the stream and POST a single final message, mirroring
the non-streaming path's fan-out and response-hook semantics. Also add a
defensive 405 fallback inside the Teams edit loop so an unexpected 405
can never strand the user on the placeholder.

* fix(hosting-activity-protocol): don't parse Teams inline attachment content as a URI
Teams message activities include a text/html attachment whose inline
`content` is raw HTML (not a URL). _parse_activity fell back to
`attachment["content"]` and passed it to Content.from_uri, raising
ContentError ("URI must contain a scheme") and failing the whole turn,
so Teams users got no response.
Only treat `contentUrl` as a URI, require an absolute scheme, and skip
unparseable attachments defensively instead of failing the message.

* feat(hosting-activity-protocol): native slash-command dispatch for Teams/Activity
Add a commands= parameter to ActivityProtocolChannel that intercepts a
leading /command (after stripping the bot's own @mention) and dispatches
to ChannelCommand handlers, mirroring the Telegram channel. Unknown
commands fall through to the agent. The channel run_hook is applied to
command requests so handlers observe the same resolved isolation key as
ordinary messages, and handler errors are swallowed (200, no Bot Service
retry of non-idempotent commands).

'markdown' so Teams shows formatted replies (enables per-channel variants).

* fix(hosting-activity-protocol): address PR #6307 review feedback
Consult the host delivery pipeline even for empty streamed replies so
ResponseTarget.none is honoured and non-originating fan-out is consulted
instead of always emitting an originating "(no response)" message. Applies
to both the progressive-edit (Teams) and buffered (Web Chat/Direct Line)
streaming paths.
Re-validate service_url against the allow-list in push(): the identity is
read from a persisted store and push runs out-of-band, so the captured
service_url must be re-checked before a bearer token is sent.
Adds tests for empty-stream host consultation/suppression on both streaming
paths and for push rejecting a disallowed service_url.

* samples(hosting): add hosting Channels sample apps under samples/04-hosting/af-hosting
Adds five end-to-end sample apps under
``python/samples/04-hosting/af-hosting/`` that exercise the
``agent-framework-hosting`` Channels stack from the simplest single-channel
case up to a multi-channel deployment with cross-channel identity linking.
Samples (ordered by complexity)
-------------------------------
* ``foundry_hosted_agent/`` — minimal Responses + Invocations host with a
Foundry-backed agent and ``FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider``.
``agd``-deployable; bundles a ``Dockerfile`` and
``scripts/vendor-packages.sh`` that copies workspace packages into
``_vendor/`` for self-contained builds. ``_vendor/`` is gitignored.
* ``local_responses/`` — single-channel Responses host with a
``run_hook`` that strips caller-supplied options and forces a
reasoning preset. Demonstrates the hook seam over the uniform
``ChannelRequest`` envelope.
* ``local_responses_workflow/`` — Responses + Invocations exposing a
three-agent workflow with per-conversation checkpoint storage.
* ``local_telegram/`` — Responses + Telegram with a ``@tool``,
``FileHistoryProvider``, hooks, and a ``ResponseTarget`` multicast
variant (``call_server_multicast.py``) that pushes a single Responses
reply to a separate Telegram chat.
* ``local_identity_link/`` — full surface: Responses + Invocations +
Telegram + Activity Protocol (Teams) + the ``EntraIdentityLinkChannel``
sidecar. Resolves per-channel ids onto a single Entra object id so a
user's history follows them across surfaces.
Notes
-----
* Samples that use Telegram/Teams via Activity Protocol depend on the
renamed ``agent-framework-hosting-activity-protocol`` package (see the
PR-5 series).
* All samples use ``[tool.uv.sources]`` editable workspace deps, except
``foundry_hosted_agent/`` which uses the ``./_vendor/`` self-contained
layout for ``azd`` Docker builds.
* Each sample includes a ``README.md`` with run instructions and an
``app.py`` ASGI entrypoint plus a ``call_server.py`` client harness.
Depends on the prior hosting PRs (foundry-hosted-agent refactor +
hosting-core + the per-channel packages). After those merge, this
branch can be rebased onto ``main`` cleanly.

* samples(hosting): point sample deps at the feature/python-hosting GitHub branch
Switches every sample's ``[tool.uv.sources]`` from in-monorepo
editable path deps (which only resolve when running inside the
agent-framework workspace) to git refs targeting the
``feature/python-hosting`` branch on
``microsoft/agent-framework``. Samples now install standalone outside
the monorepo while the ``agent-framework-hosting*`` packages are still
pre-PyPI; once they publish, the ``[tool.uv.sources]`` block can be
dropped and the declared deps resolve from PyPI.
Cleanup
-------
* Drops ``foundry_hosted_agent/scripts/vendor-packages.sh``,
``_vendor/`` from ``.gitignore``, the ``hooks.prepackage`` block in
``azure.yaml`` and the ``COPY _vendor/`` step in the Dockerfile —
vendoring is no longer needed because git refs make the deps
network-resolvable from any context.
* Drops obsolete ``workspace.pyproject.toml`` reference and ``scripts/``
/ ``workspace.pyproject.toml`` entries from
``Dockerfile.dockerignore``.
* Updates the foundry sample's Dockerfile to ``uv sync --no-dev``
(no ``--frozen``) so it locks fresh against the GitHub-hosted deps
at build time.
* Drops every committed ``uv.lock`` because the resolver needs network
access to ``feature/python-hosting`` to lock — they regenerate the
first time a user runs ``uv sync`` after the branch lands.
* Refreshes the per-sample READMEs to mention the GitHub install path
instead of "in-tree workspace packages".

* samples(hosting): address PR #5645 review comments
- foundry_hosted_agent/call_server.py: replace hard-coded
project_endpoint and service_session_id with FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT,
FOUNDRY_HOSTED_AGENT_NAME, and optional FOUNDRY_HOSTED_SESSION_ID
environment variables. Session-id is now optional so the sample
exercises the new-conversation path by default.
- local_identity_link/app.py:
* make_telegram_hook: apply the reasoning bump regardless of
identity-link state (the previous early-return on linked chats
silently dropped the high-effort preset for the very flow the
sample exists to demonstrate).
* make_responses_hook: add a prominent DEV-ONLY warning that the
client-supplied entra_oid shortcut bypasses identity verification
and must be replaced by a JWT validator in production.
* /link command: early-return when chat_id is missing instead of
minting an authorize URL keyed on "telegram:None" (which would
poison the link store with a binding any future chat_id-less
update would collapse onto).
* Switch ENTRA_CERT_PATH / ENTRA_CERT_PASSWORD env vars to the
longer ENTRA_CERTIFICATE_PATH / ENTRA_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD names
that the README already documents.
* channels: Sequence[Channel] -> list[Channel] (the next line
appends, which a Sequence type doesn't expose).

* feat(hosting-entra): add Entra (Azure AD) identity-linking channel
New ``agent-framework-hosting-entra`` package implementing a Microsoft
Entra OAuth-based identity-linking channel for the Hosting framework.
Mounts a small set of routes (``/entra/login``, ``/entra/callback``,
``/entra/whoami``) that walk a user through an Entra/Azure AD
authorization-code flow and stick the resulting verified identity
(``oid`` / ``email`` / ``tid``) onto the host's identity table so
later requests on any other channel (Responses, Telegram, …) can be
linked to the same user.
Surface (re-exported from ``agent_framework_hosting_entra``):
- ``EntraChannel`` -- concrete ``Channel`` implementation. Owns the
three Starlette routes, signs/verifies short-lived ``state`` tokens
to bind the round-trip to the originating channel, exchanges the
authorization code for an ID token via MSAL, and writes the
verified identity into the host's identity store via the standard
``ChannelIdentity`` plumbing so cross-channel push (e.g. send a
Telegram message to the user who completed the link from
Responses) works without the channels having to coordinate
directly.
- 14 unit tests covering route wiring, ``state`` issue / verify,
callback exchange happy + failure paths, and identity-store write.
Registers the package in ``python/pyproject.toml``
``[tool.uv.sources]`` and adds the matching pyright
``executionEnvironments`` entry. Stacks on PR-2 (Hosting core);
independent of PR-3 / PR-4 / PR-6.
The cross-channel sample (``local_identity_link/``) that demonstrates
this end-to-end alongside Responses + Telegram lands in PR-8 (samples).

* fix(hosting-entra): close IDOR + reflected-XSS + open-redirect on the OAuth flow
Three SECURITY-CRITICAL fixes flagged in round-2 review.
1. IDOR on /auth/start (3198518308). Without authentication the
endpoint accepted (channel, channel_id) from the query string and
bound *whoever signed in* to that pair. An attacker could bind
their own Entra oid to a victim's per-channel id (e.g.
`telegram:<victim_chat_id>`), redirecting all of the victim's
future inbound traffic to the attacker's isolation key.
Fix: introduce link_token_secret + mint_start_url(channel, id, ...).
When set, /auth/start requires `exp` + `sig` (HMAC-SHA256 over
`channel|channel_id|expires_at`) before issuing the redirect.
Channels that hand out start URLs (a Telegram /link command after
verifying the inbound webhook signature) call mint_start_url so
the token proves the (channel, id) pair was authorised by the
channel that owns the surface. Unsigned mode is opt-in and logs a
loud WARNING at startup *and* on every accepted request.
2. Reflected XSS on /auth/callback (3198520256, 3198527896). `error`,
`error_description`, channel_key (from the unauthenticated /start
query), and `upn` (from a Graph response) flowed straight into the
text/html response body unescaped. With the IDOR above, an
attacker could stash `<script>` payloads in `channel` or `id` and
serve them from the auth host's origin (full XSS on the auth
surface — cookies/storage of anything else mounted there).
Fix: html.escape() every value before HTML output.
3. Open redirect on `return_to` (3198524746). Accepted any URL.
Fix: `_validate_return_to` allows only relative paths starting
with `/` (and not `//`) or absolute URLs whose host equals the
configured `public_base_url` host. Validated at /start mint time
AND defensively re-validated at /callback before redirect.
12 new tests cover signed-token rejection (missing/forged/expired),
mint helper requirements, startup warning visibility, XSS escaping
on both error and success paths, and the open-redirect allowlist
(external rejected, relative accepted, same-origin accepted,
protocol-relative `//evil.example/` rejected).

* feat(hosting-activity-protocol): rename Bot Framework channel to ActivityProtocolChannel
The existing Bot-Framework-via-Azure-Bot-Service channel was previously
shipped under the name ``hosting-teams`` / ``TeamsChannel``. That name
is misleading for what the channel actually does -- it speaks the Bot
Framework Activity Protocol against Azure Bot Service, which fans out
across MS Teams, Slack, Webex, Telegram-via-Bot-Service, etc., and does
not provide any Teams-specific affordances.
This PR renames the package atomically and frees the ``hosting-teams``
name for a future Teams-native channel built on
``microsoft-teams-apps`` (PR-5b, spec req #28).
Renames (all in one commit):
- Package: ``agent-framework-hosting-teams`` ->
``agent-framework-hosting-activity-protocol``
- Module: ``agent_framework_hosting_teams`` ->
``agent_framework_hosting_activity_protocol``
- Channel class: ``TeamsChannel`` -> ``ActivityProtocolChannel``
- Helper: ``teams_isolation_key`` -> ``activity_protocol_isolation_key``
(isolation key prefix ``teams:`` -> ``activity:``)
- Channel name: ``"teams"`` -> ``"activity"``; default mount path
``/teams`` -> ``/activity``
- Internal helper: ``_parse_teams_activity`` -> ``_parse_activity``
- Worker task name + a couple of error strings updated for consistency
Updates README.md and the module docstring to call out:
- this is the channel-neutral Activity Protocol channel,
- it surfaces what every Bot-Service-connected channel has in common
(text in / text out),
- a forthcoming ``agent-framework-hosting-teams`` package will layer
Teams-specific affordances (adaptive cards, message extensions,
dialogs, SSO, ...) on the same Bot Service transport.
Workspace: registers ``agent-framework-hosting-activity-protocol`` in
``python/pyproject.toml`` and adds the matching pyright
``executionEnvironments`` entry.
Behavior is unchanged. Pyright + mypy clean, 11 tests pass.

* review: address PR-5 round 2 feedback
- security (#3198327004): add `service_url_allowed_hosts` constructor
option (default `botframework.com` + `smba.trafficmanager.net`) and
reject inbound activities whose `serviceUrl` host falls outside it
with HTTP 400 — without this gate a malicious caller could redirect
outbound replies (and the attached bearer token) to an
attacker-controlled host
- security (#3198324219): add `inbound_auth_validator` async callback;
log a loud WARNING at startup when no validator AND no operator
reverse-proxy is configured so the dev-mode bypass cannot
accidentally ship to production. Document the contract: prototype
intentionally does not ship JWT validation (out of scope); operators
must plug a validator or terminate auth in front of the channel
- retry semantics (#3198328746): distinguish transient outbound
failures (httpx network errors, non-2xx from Bot Service) — return
502 so Bot Service retries — from deterministic agent failures —
return 200 so Bot Service does not retry the same broken activity
in a loop
- bug (#3198330424): fix the placeholder-failure deadlock. When
`send_initial_placeholder` fails, `activity_id` stays `None`, the
edit-worker loop exit condition (`accumulated == last_sent`) is
unreachable while no PUT is possible, and the worker would deadlock
on `wake.wait()` forever after `worker_done` is set. Now: skip the
worker entirely on placeholder failure and POST a single final
activity at the end with whatever accumulated
- tests (#3198334465, #3187178091, #3198336045): add coverage for
- `_is_service_url_allowed` allow/deny matrix + webhook 400 on
disallowed serviceUrl
- `inbound_auth_validator` allow/deny/raises paths
- outbound `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header presence in
production mode and absence in dev mode
- the streaming path (`_stream_to_conversation`): placeholder +
final edit, placeholder-failure fallback (with timeout guard
against deadlock regression), and empty-stream `(no response)`
placeholder replacement
- retry-signal differentiation: outbound `httpx.ConnectError` →
502; deterministic `ValueError` from the agent → 200

* feat(hosting-telegram): add Telegram channel package
New ``agent-framework-hosting-telegram`` package implementing the
Telegram Bot API channel for the Hosting framework. Mounts a webhook
endpoint (``POST /telegram/webhook``) and an in-process polling loop
onto an ``AgentFrameworkHost`` and translates Telegram ``Update``
payloads to/from the channel-neutral ``ChannelRequest`` /
``HostedRunResult`` plumbing.
Surface (re-exported from ``agent_framework_hosting_telegram``):
- ``TelegramChannel`` -- concrete ``Channel`` implementation. Owns the
webhook route + an optional ``getUpdates`` long-polling lifespan,
parses Telegram ``Update``s into ``ChannelRequest`` (text, photo,
document, voice, callback_query, …), runs the optional
``ChannelRunHook``, calls back into the ``ChannelContext`` to invoke
the agent target, and posts the response back via
``sendMessage`` / ``sendChatAction`` / ``answerCallbackQuery`` on the
Telegram Bot API. Honours ``DeliveryReport.include_originating`` so
cross-channel pushes can target the originating Telegram chat
without double-acking.
- Native fields the channel doesn't lift onto ``ChannelRequest`` (e.g.
``chat.type``, ``message.message_id``, ``callback_query.data``) are
attached to ``ChannelRequest.attributes`` so a ``ChannelRunHook``
can pick them up via the standard ``protocol_request=`` kwarg.
- 13 unit tests covering route wiring, ``Update`` parsing across the
common content shapes, hook composition, and originating vs
non-originating delivery branches.
Registers the package in ``python/pyproject.toml``
``[tool.uv.sources]`` and adds the matching pyright
``executionEnvironments`` entry. Stacks on PR-2 (Hosting core);
independent of PR-3 / PR-4.

* fix(hosting-telegram): preserve in-chat ordering, ack-before-run, drain shutdown
- Replace per-update task fan-out with per-chat asyncio.Queue + worker.
Telegram only guarantees update ordering up to getUpdates; the
previous code spawned one task per update, which broke ordering for
adjacent updates in the same chat. Updates are now serialised per
chat_id (so /start then "what's the weather" can't race) while
different chats still process in parallel.
- Webhook handler now acks (200) immediately and runs the agent in
the per-chat worker. Telegram redelivers any update the webhook
doesn't 200 within ~60 seconds, so a streamed agent reply that runs
longer than that previously triggered a retry storm and duplicate
replies.
- _on_shutdown now drains everything: poll task → per-chat workers →
webhook-spawned dispatcher tasks (the new ack-before-run path), then
deletes the webhook + closes the HTTP client. Previously webhook
tasks were not tracked at all, so an in-flight agent invocation
could leak past app shutdown.
- _enqueue_update extracts chat_id from message / edited_message /
callback_query; updates with no resolvable chat fall back to a
one-shot dispatcher task that's still tracked in _update_tasks for
shutdown.
- Webhook handler now also returns 400 on malformed JSON / non-object
payloads instead of crashing the request.
4 new tests cover per-chat serial ordering, parallel-across-chats
isolation, ack-before-run latency, and shutdown drain.

* feat(hosting-invocations): add Invocations channel package
New ``agent-framework-hosting-invocations`` package implementing the
"Invocations" HTTP channel for the Hosting framework -- a lightweight
JSON-over-HTTP shape (``POST /invocations``) for callers that want a
single request/response without committing to the full OpenAI Responses
envelope. Mounts onto an ``AgentFrameworkHost`` like any other channel.
Surface (re-exported from ``agent_framework_hosting_invocations``):
- ``InvocationsChannel`` -- concrete ``Channel`` implementation. Owns
the Starlette route, parses inbound JSON into a ``ChannelRequest``
(``input`` / ``session`` / ``metadata`` / ``options``), runs the
optional ``ChannelRunHook``, calls back into the ``ChannelContext``
to invoke the agent target, and returns a flat JSON envelope (or an
SSE stream when ``stream=true``).
- 8 unit tests covering route wiring, isolation-key passthrough, hook
composition, sync vs streaming paths, and ack-only behaviour for
non-originating ``DeliveryReport``s.
Registers the package in ``python/pyproject.toml`` ``[tool.uv.sources]``
and adds the matching pyright ``executionEnvironments`` entry.
Independent of PR-3 (Responses); both depend only on PR-2 (Hosting
core).

* review: address PR-4 round 2 feedback
- expand `_stream` docstring to call out the HTTP-200 + `event: error`
SSE contract (status committed before generator runs; hard failures
surface as the first SSE frame, not an HTTP code)
- split chunked text on full-line terminators via `splitlines()` so
embedded `\r` / `\r\n` no longer leak into `data:` framing on the
wire, breaking EventSource consumers
- on `get_final_response()` failure, emit `event: error` instead of
silently swallowing — finalize is what triggers
history-provider persistence on the agent side, so a 5xx /
disk-full / context-provider error must reach the client
- add tests covering `stream_transform_hook` (rewrite, drop, async),
CRLF-in-chunk framing, and the finalize-error → no-`[DONE]` contract

* feat(hosting-responses): add OpenAI Responses-shaped channel package
New ``agent-framework-hosting-responses`` package implementing the
OpenAI Responses-shaped HTTP channel for the Hosting framework. Mounts
``POST /responses`` (and a ``/responses/{response_id}`` GET) onto an
``AgentFrameworkHost`` and translates the OpenAI Responses wire shape
to/from the channel-neutral ``ChannelRequest`` / ``HostedRunResult``
plumbing.
Surface (re-exported from ``agent_framework_hosting_responses``):
- ``ResponsesChannel`` -- concrete ``Channel`` implementation. Owns the
Starlette route(s), parses inbound JSON into ``ChannelRequest``, runs
the optional ``ChannelRunHook``, calls back into the
``ChannelContext`` to invoke the agent target, builds Responses
envelopes (sync JSON or SSE), and respects
``DeliveryReport.include_originating`` so cross-channel push routes
only ack to the originating Responses caller.
- The minted ``response_id`` is propagated via the host's ContextVar
machinery so storage-side history providers (e.g.
``FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider``) persist envelopes against the
same id the channel returns.
- 48 unit tests covering route wiring, parsing of each Responses input
shape, hook composition, sync vs streaming paths, and originating
vs non-originating delivery branches.
Registers the package in ``python/pyproject.toml`` ``[tool.uv.sources]``
and adds the matching pyright ``executionEnvironments`` entry.

* review: address PR-3 round 2 feedback
- consume IsolationKeys.chat_key from the host-bound contextvar instead
of the raw `x-agent-chat-isolation-key` header off the wire so the
host's ASGI isolation middleware (or any operator-supplied
replacement) is the authoritative point at which the caller is
authenticated and the bucket key is established
- expand `response_id_factory` docstring to call out partition
co-location vs. partition-ownership enforcement: the channel forwards
`previous_response_id` as a hint to the factory; the storage layer
validates the embedded partition against the bound user/chat
isolation keys
- on mid-stream failure, call `deliver_response` with the accumulated
text before emitting `response.failed` so host-side history /
push-channel state stays consistent with the partial deltas the
client already saw

* refactor(foundry_hosting): build FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider on azure.ai.agentserver SDK
Rebuilds the Foundry hosted-agent history provider on top of
``azure.ai.agentserver``'s ``FoundryStorageProvider`` instead of the
in-house ``_HttpStorageBackend``. Splits the monolithic ``_responses.py``
into focused modules:
- ``_history_provider.py`` — new ``FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider``
that talks to the SDK's ``FoundryStorageProvider``, threads
``response_id`` / ``previous_response_id`` through ``ContextVar``s via
``bind_request_context``, and lifts host-bound isolation keys
(``x-agent-{user,chat}-isolation-key``) from the optional
``agent_framework_hosting`` package into a provider-local
``IsolationContext`` so the storage layer carries the correct
partition keys without channels having to know about them.
- ``_shared.py`` — extracts all SDK ``Item`` / ``OutputItem`` ↔
framework ``Message`` conversion helpers into one place so both
``_responses.py`` and the new history provider can share them.
Restores ``_convert_file_data`` for inline ``input_file`` payloads,
and the hosted-MCP routing for ``custom_tool_call_output`` items
whose ``call_id`` carries the ``mcp_*`` prefix.
- ``_ids.py`` — shared id helpers.
- ``_responses.py`` — shrinks ~700 lines, re-exports converters for
back-compat with existing tests.
- ``tests/test_history_provider.py`` — exercises the new provider
against a fake SDK backend; the host-isolation test is gated on the
optional ``agent_framework_hosting`` import.

* feat(foundry_hosting): add local_storage_root for file-based dev history
Adds an optional `local_storage_root: str | Path | None` parameter to
`FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider`. When set and the provider is
running outside a Foundry Hosted Agent container, conversations are
persisted to JSONL files via `agent_framework.FileHistoryProvider`
laid out as:
{root}/{user_key or '~none'}/{chat_key or '~none'}/{session_id}.jsonl
Hosted mode (FOUNDRY_HOSTING_ENVIRONMENT set) ignores the option with a
one-time INFO log so Foundry storage always wins on the platform. The
in-memory fallback is unchanged when the option is omitted.
Path safety: isolation segments are validated against the same character
allowlist FileHistoryProvider uses for session-id stems and
base64-url-encoded with a reserved "~iso-" prefix when unsafe. "~none"
sentinel for missing keys can never collide with a real isolation key
(real keys starting with "~" are encoded). The resolved target dir is
also re-checked to be inside the configured root.

* fix(foundry_hosting): address PR-1 review comments
- _shared.py:_capture_raw narrows `except Exception` to `except TypeError`
and emits a WARNING with traceback so the lossy fallback to a
synthesized round-trip is observable. Mirrors the reviewer suggestion.
- _history_provider.py:save_messages narrows `except Exception` to
`except FoundryStorageError` so only storage-validation failures
(4xx/5xx, opaque server errors) are swallowed. Network / TLS / auth
/ payload-builder bugs propagate so the caller can retry / alert.
Adds an instance-level `failed_writes` counter operators can poll
for silent-drop visibility.
- _history_provider.py id-stamping loop: drops the
`contextlib.suppress(AttributeError, TypeError)` around
`item.id = new_id` so SDK contract changes surface in the test
suite instead of silently corrupting the chain (the storage backend
rejects the entire `create_response` with HTTP 500 when synthetic
prefix-based ids leak through). `import contextlib` removed.
- tests:
* Unit-cover `foundry_response_id` / `foundry_response_id_factory` /
`foundry_item_id` so SDK `IdGenerator` contract changes are caught
locally.
* Cover the `save_messages` wire payload: required-by-storage fields
(`background`, `parallel_tool_calls`, `instructions`,
`agent_reference`), env-var-driven stamping (`FOUNDRY_AGENT_NAME` /
`FOUNDRY_AGENT_VERSION` / `FOUNDRY_AGENT_SESSION_ID` /
`MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME` with `AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME`
fallback), and the rule that `model` / `agent_session_id` /
`agent_reference.version` are omitted (not stamped to `None`) when
their env vars are unset.
* Cover the `FOUNDRY_AGENT_SESSION_ID` last-resort chain anchor on
both the get and save paths, including the prefix gate that blocks
non-`caresp_*`/`resp_*` values from reaching storage, and the
precedence rule that a host binding wins over the env.
* Replace the old `test_save_messages_swallows_backend_errors` with
two tests asserting the new contract: storage errors are swallowed
and bump `failed_writes`; everything else propagates and leaves the
counter at zero.
141 unit tests pass; mypy + pyright + ruff clean.

* fix(foundry_hosting): address PR-1 round-2 review comments
- Hosted detection now delegates to AgentConfig.from_env().is_hosted so
a future Foundry SDK rename of FOUNDRY_HOSTING_ENVIRONMENT propagates
automatically; drop the local _ENV_FOUNDRY_HOSTING_ENVIRONMENT
constant.
- Drop the FOUNDRY_AGENT_SESSION_ID fallback in both get_messages and
save_messages: per the SDK it identifies the *container instance*,
not the conversation, so chaining off it would silently merge
unrelated conversations across container restarts. The host-bound
previous_response_id (set by ResponsesChannel) is the only
authoritative anchor; the env value is still stamped into the
persisted envelope's agent_session_id for operator correlation.
- Update module docstring + replace TestFoundryAgentSessionIdAnchor
with assertions for the new contract (env var ignored as anchor,
still stamped onto persisted envelope, host binding wins).

* refactor(foundry_hosting): reconcile with upstream main (#5851, #5666)
Brings the FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider refactor branch back into
sync with the foundry_hosting changes that have landed on upstream
main since PR-1 was opened:
* #5851 (path traversal in checkpoint storage, CWE-22).
The workflow-host code in ``_responses.py`` builds a
``FileCheckpointStorage`` from a caller-controlled ``context_id``
(``previous_response_id`` / ``conversation_id`` / ``response_id``).
Switch both call sites to route through
``_checkpoint_storage_for_context``, which rejects separators,
NUL bytes, drive letters, absolute paths, and all-dot segments,
and enforces ``is_relative_to(root)`` before any directory is
created.
* #5666 (function approval flow).
Make the SDK-Item → AF-Message conversion helpers in ``_shared.py``
async and accept an optional ``approval_storage`` keyword:
- ``_items_to_messages`` / ``_item_to_message`` /
``_item_to_message_inner``
- ``_output_items_to_messages`` / ``_output_item_to_message`` /
``_output_item_to_message_inner``
For ``mcp_approval_request`` / ``mcp_approval_response`` items the
helpers now load the original function-call Content from the
approval storage (via ``ApprovalStorage.load_approval_request``)
instead of synthesising a placeholder. This matches upstream
semantics and lets approval round-trips reconstruct the real
payload.
The ``ApprovalStorage`` Protocol moves to ``_shared.py`` so the
conversion helpers can reference it without pulling in
``_responses.py`` (which would create a circular import). The
concrete ``InMemoryFunctionApprovalStorage`` and
``FileBasedFunctionApprovalStorage`` stay in ``_responses.py``
next to the host that owns them, and re-export
``ApprovalStorage`` from ``_shared`` for compatibility.
The workflow-host streaming path passes its own
``self._approval_storage`` into ``_to_outputs`` so approval
requests are saved at emit time.
* Bump ``_history_provider.FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider.get_messages``
to ``await`` the now-async ``_output_items_to_messages`` call.
No public API change beyond the new keyword-only ``approval_storage``
parameter on the four conversion entry points.
Validation:
- uv run poe check-packages -P foundry_hosting (lint + pyright clean)
- uv run poe mypy -P foundry_hosting (clean)
- uv run poe test -P foundry_hosting (183 passed, 1 skipped)

* feat(hosting): add agent-framework-hosting core package
New ``agent-framework-hosting`` package implementing ADR 0026 / SPEC-002:
the channel-neutral host that lets a single ``Agent`` (or ``Workflow``)
fan out across multiple wire protocols ("channels") behind one Starlette
ASGI app.
Surface (re-exported from ``agent_framework_hosting``):
- ``AgentFrameworkHost`` — wraps a hostable target, mounts channels onto
an ASGI app, owns per-isolation-key ``AgentSession`` reuse, threads
request context (``response_id`` / ``previous_response_id``) into
context providers via an ``ExitStack`` of ``bind_request_context``
calls, and exposes an opt-in Hypercorn ``serve()`` helper (extra
``[serve]``).
- ``Channel`` protocol + ``ChannelContribution`` — the surface a channel
package implements (routes, lifespans, identity hooks, …).
- ``ChannelRequest`` / ``ChannelSession`` / ``ChannelIdentity`` /
``ChannelPush`` / ``ChannelCommand[Context]`` / ``ChannelRunHook`` /
``ChannelStreamTransformHook`` / ``DeliveryReport`` /
``HostedRunResult`` / ``ResponseTarget`` / ``ResponseTargetKind`` /
``apply_run_hook`` — channel-side dataclasses + helpers.
- ``IsolationKeys`` + ``ISOLATION_HEADER_USER`` / ``..._CHAT`` +
``get/set/reset_current_isolation_keys`` — the host's ASGI middleware
reads the ``x-agent-{user,chat}-isolation-key`` headers off each
inbound request and exposes them to the agent stack via a
``ContextVar`` so storage-side providers (e.g.
``FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider``) can apply per-tenant
partitioning without channels having to forward anything.
Includes 45 unit tests covering the host, channel contributions,
isolation contextvar, and shared types. Registers the package in
``python/pyproject.toml`` ``[tool.uv.sources]`` and adds the matching
pyright ``executionEnvironments`` entry for tests.
Hypercorn is an optional dependency (``[serve]`` extra); the soft import
in ``serve()`` is annotated for pyright since it isn't on the default
install.

* fix(hosting): address PR-2 review comments
Source-code changes
- _suppress_already_consumed: narrow contract — RuntimeError now logs
at WARNING with exc_info; non-RuntimeError still logs at exception().
Docstring clarifies that any non-clean teardown is observable.
- _BoundResponseStream: add aclose() and route __await__ through
get_final_response() so the binding is always released — fixes
contextvar leak when channels abandon the stream or use the
await-the-stream convenience.
- Lifespan: aggregate startup/shutdown callback errors; every callback
runs, all failures are logged with their qualname, and the first
error is re-raised so Starlette still aborts boot.
- _build_run_kwargs: switch session-cache write to dict.setdefault so
concurrent racers cannot orphan a session if create_session ever
yields.
- _deliver_response: introduce DeliveryReport.failed for push outages
vs explicit "no link" drops; an outage no longer triggers an
originating fallback so the channel can decide degraded behaviour.
Test additions
- tests/test_isolation.py (new): full coverage of IsolationKeys, the
contextvar helpers, header constants, and end-to-end ASGI
middleware lift / reset / passthrough.
- tests/test_host.py: TestBindRequestContext, TestBoundResponseStream
(aclose / __await__ / __getattr__ forwarding / double-close
idempotency), TestWrapInputListMessages (list[Message] LAST
precedence), TestLifespanAggregation (startup + shutdown).
- tests/test_types.py: TestApplyRunHook (sync/async/None), and
TestDeliveryReport (new failed field).
- Updated test_push_exception_marks_skipped ->
test_push_exception_lands_in_failed_no_fallback to match the new
delivery contract.

* fix(hosting): address PR-2 round-2 review comments
- Refactor workflow checkpoint restoration into shared helpers
(_restore_workflow_checkpoint for blocking; the streaming sibling
drains the rehydration stream) so the blocking and streaming paths
rehydrate identically — clarifies the previously inline _maybe_restore
by hoisting the pattern next to the blocking call site.
- Document that blocking workflow output is text-only by design;
richer modalities ride the streaming AgentResponseUpdate channel,
which preserves all content parts.

* review: address PR-4 _host.py round 2 feedback
These review comments were filed on PR-4 (#5640) but target lines that
live in the hosting-core package (PR-2 / #5638), so the fixes land here
and PR-4's stack will pick them up on rebase.
- _suppress_already_consumed: narrow the RuntimeError catch to the two
documented benign messages (`Inner stream not available`, `Event loop
is closed`); any other RuntimeError now logs at ERROR with a full
traceback so executor bugs / runner-context state errors / checkpoint
RuntimeErrors during the post-run flush no longer masquerade as
benign cleanup noise. Still no propagation (we're in an
async-generator finally during teardown) — see the docstring.
- _restore_workflow_checkpoint{,_streaming}: log a WARNING when a
non-None latest checkpoint drains to zero events, so a stale or
partially-written checkpoint_id surfaces as an operator signal
instead of a silent state-loss.
(The `deliver_response` "no destinations resolvable" vs "every
destination errored" concern raised in 3198268038 is already addressed
by the existing `failed` vs `skipped` distinction surfaced through
`DeliveryReport.failed` — see lines 1080-1102 and the
`DeliveryReport` docstring.)

* fix(hosting): reject path-traversal patterns in checkpoint isolation_key
The host's `_resolve_checkpoint_storage` joined `request.session.isolation_key`
directly into the configured `checkpoint_location`. The key is caller-
controlled — sourced from inbound headers (`x-agent-{user,chat}-isolation-key`
injected by the Foundry runtime), from channel-supplied derivations such as
`telegram:<chat_id>` / `entra:<oid>`, or from values set by a channel
`run_hook`. A value like `../../../etc/foo` or an absolute path would let
the resulting checkpoint directory escape the configured root (CWE-22).
This matches the path-traversal class fixed upstream in #5851 for the
foundry_hosting checkpoint storage.
New `_checkpoint_path_for_isolation_key(root, isolation_key)` helper:
- Uses a denylist (not allowlist) so legitimate namespaced keys
(`telegram:42`, `entra:abc-def`) continue to pass through unmodified.
- Rejects path separators (`/`, `\`), NUL, all-dot reductions (`.`, `..`,
`...`, ...), absolute paths (`os.path.isabs`), and drive-letter prefixes
(`os.path.splitdrive` plus an explicit `^[A-Za-z]:` check so payloads
crafted on a POSIX host still fail closed if the resulting directory
ever round-trips to Windows storage).
- After joining, resolves both sides and verifies
`target.is_relative_to(root)` as defence-in-depth.
`_resolve_checkpoint_storage` now logs a WARNING and returns `None` for
invalid keys rather than crashing the request — checkpointing is best-
effort and we prefer dropping it to letting one malformed key abort an
otherwise valid agent run.
Tests:
- `TestCheckpointPathForIsolationKey` exercises the helper directly with
legitimate keys (alphanumeric, `:`-namespaced, dotted, 200-char), all
rejected traversal patterns from #5851's MSRC repro list, and
non-string input.
- `TestHostWorkflowCheckpointingPathTraversal` verifies the end-to-end
request path: a traversal key (`../escape`) and an in-key separator
(`evil/sub`) both produce a successful agent response with no files
written under `checkpoint_location`, and the traversal case logs a
WARNING citing `isolation_key`.

* fix(hosting): address PR-2 round-3 review feedback + add response hooks
Round-3 review comment fixes:
- _types.py: drop the _EMPTY_MAPPING sentinel; ChannelIdentity.attributes
uses plain dict() as the default — simpler, no extra symbol to track.
- _host.py: drop the local `import asyncio` + `from typing import cast as
_cast` inside `serve()`; rely on the module-level imports.
- _host.py: switch `_log_incoming` to structured `extra={...}` payloads
for both INFO and DEBUG so log aggregators get queryable fields.
- _host.py: delete `_flat_context_providers` and stop descending into a
`.providers` attribute. Aggregator providers (AggregateContextProvider /
ContextProviderBase) are responsible for forwarding `response_context`
to their children themselves; the host treats whatever
`agent.context_providers` exposes as the final, flat list.
- _host.py: stop collapsing agent / workflow output to text. `_invoke`
forwards `AgentResponse.messages` (and `raw_response`) on the
`HostedRunResult`. `_invoke_workflow` builds a per-event message list
via a new `_workflow_output_to_messages` helper that preserves
AgentResponse / AgentResponseUpdate / Message / Content branches and
falls back to text only for arbitrary objects.
- _host.py: `_workflow_event_to_update` carries Content payloads through
unchanged so multi-modal workflow outputs (images, function-call
metadata, ...) survive into channels.
New features (per design discussion in the PR thread):
- HostedRunResult: rebuilt around `messages: list[Message]` with
`.text` / `.contents` as projections, a `raw_response` slot for the
underlying AgentResponse, and a `replace(messages=..., raw_response=...)`
clone helper used by the delivery layer for per-destination isolation.
The `HostedRunResult(text="...")` ctor is preserved as a back-compat
shim that synthesises a single assistant text message.
- ResponseTarget: gain `echo_input: bool = False` (also exposed on
`.channel(name, *, echo_input=...)` / `.channels([...], *, echo_input=...)`).
When set, the host pushes the originating user message to each
non-originating destination before the agent reply. Channels can
filter or transform echoes via their response_hook.
- DeliveryReport: add `echoed` / `echo_failed` tuples to surface
per-destination outcomes of the new echo phase. Echo failures do not
abort the corresponding response push on the same destination.
- ChannelResponseHook + ChannelResponseContext + apply_response_hook:
duck-typed `response_hook` attribute on channels for per-destination
post-processing. Receives a clone of the HostedRunResult and a
context carrying the request, channel name, destination identity,
originating flag, and `is_echo` phase flag. Channels stay
modality-aware (text-only wires flatten via the hook; card-capable
channels render structured contents directly).
- _deliver_response: clone-before-hook fan-out so a hook mutating one
channel's payload cannot leak into another destination's view.
Tests:
- Update _FakeAgentResponse to expose `.messages` (single assistant text
message synthesised from `text`) so existing tests pass unchanged on
the new multi-modal _invoke path.
- Replace the obsolete `test_bind_descends_one_level_into_providers_attribute`
with a regression guard asserting the host does NOT descend into
`.providers` (matches new contract).
- New tests for HostedRunResult multi-modal preservation, echo_input
fan-out with success + failure, response_hook applied per destination,
per-destination mutation isolation, and is_echo phase observability.
Docs:
- spec 002: rewrite Canonical flow with the new input → run_hook → host
→ target → wrap → per-destination clone → response_hook → push
pipeline; document multi-modality contract and per-destination
cloning; add `echo_input` row to ResponseTarget table; rewrite
HostedRunResult/HostedStreamResult row; add ChannelResponseHook /
ChannelResponseContext / apply_response_hook table; log decisions
Q28 (no host-side text collapse), Q29 (duck-typed response_hook),
Q30 (opt-in `echo_input` on ResponseTarget).
- ADR 0026: add ChannelResponseHook + multi-modality bullets;
surface `echo_input` on the ResponseTarget bullet.

* fix(hosting): drop HostedRunResult(text=...) back-compat shim; use from_text()
Pre-release cleanup — no released callers to break, so consolidate on one
canonical entry point plus a classmethod for the ergonomic
single-text-message case:
- HostedRunResult.__init__ takes ``messages`` positionally (required); no
more ``text=`` kwarg overload, no more "synthesise an empty message
when no args" path.
- New HostedRunResult.from_text(text, *, role="assistant", raw_response=None)
classmethod for the common "wrap a single text content as one message"
case (tests, channels emitting plain strings, the echo-input phase
wrapping a user's text turn).
- ``_build_echo_payload`` uses ``HostedRunResult.from_text(raw, role="user")``
for the ``str`` and fallback branches; the other branches use the plain
ctor with explicit ``Message`` lists.
- Tests rewritten to use ``from_text("reply")`` everywhere
``HostedRunResult(text="reply")`` appeared. Added an explicit
``test_from_text_role_kwarg_overrides_default`` regression guard.
- spec 002: HostedRunResult row updated to describe the
``from_text(text, *, role="assistant")`` classmethod instead of the
removed back-compat shim.

* refactor(hosting-core): reshape HostedRunResult into generic typed envelope
Replace the flattened multi-modal HostedRunResult (carrying
messages/raw_response/.text projections) with a typed generic
envelope around the target's full-fidelity output:
class HostedRunResult(Generic[TResult]):
result: TResult
session: AgentSession | None
- Agent targets produce HostedRunResult[AgentResponse]; channels
read result.messages, result.text, result.value, result.response_id,
result.usage_details directly off the underlying response.
- Workflow targets produce HostedRunResult[WorkflowRunResult];
channels iterate result.get_outputs() and inspect
result.get_final_state() themselves (the host no longer collapses
workflow outputs onto a synthesised message list).
- The echo-input phase synthesises a HostedRunResult[AgentResponse]
wrapping the user's turn so the same per-destination delivery
machinery applies.
- replace() is now {result, session} only; the host's clone is
shallow — channels that need to mutate result itself are
responsible for their own deep copy.
Rationale: the earlier shape pre-shaped target output (collapsing
workflows onto a Message list, losing per-executor outputs, final
state, and structured value affordances). Carrying the target output
unchanged keeps the host modality-agnostic, gives channel authors
static typing where they want it, and removes 30+ lines of
host-side projection helpers.
Also updates ADR 0026 + spec 002 (Q3, Q28, Q29 amended; new Q31
captures the generic-envelope decision and rationale).

* docs(hosting-core): document echo vs response distinction for push channels
The host already encodes the echo-vs-response phase via the
underlying Message.role on the pushed HostedRunResult:
- echo phase: payload.result.messages[*].role == "user"
- response phase: payload.result.messages[*].role == "assistant"
Both pushes go through the same ChannelPush.push(identity, payload)
entry point. Channels distinguish either by inspecting role (which
works for any push-capable channel) or — when a response_hook is
wired — by branching on ChannelResponseContext.is_echo directly.
Expand the ChannelPush Protocol docstring to make this discoverable
for channel implementers (esp. chat bots that cannot impersonate
the user on their wire and need to render echoes as quoted /
prefixed blocks rather than as bot replies).
Mirror the explanation into the spec's echo_input section.

* docs(hosting): add authorization profiles + IdentityAllowlist seam to ADR/spec
Composes `require_link` + `allowlist` into three named profiles (open,
forced-link, allowlist) with the allowlist itself keyed on either the
channel-native id (pre-link) or a verified IdP claim (post-link), plus
`AnyOf`/`AllOf` combinators for mixed setups. Lifts the design into
an explicit host seam (`host.authorize(...)` → `AuthorizationOutcome`
of `Allowed` / `LinkRequired` / `Denied`) instead of leaving each
channel to roll its own.
Key contract bits:
- Tri-state `AllowlistDecision` (ALLOW / DENY / ABSTAIN) so claim-based
lists can ABSTAIN until claims are available without composition
silently flipping that into DENY.
- `AuthorizationContext` carries explicit `phase` + `claim_source`
so allowlists can tell pre-link from post-link without overloading
`verified_claims is None`.
- Channel-side `allowlist: ... | Literal["inherit"] | None` with an
explicit inheritance sentinel, so the host-level `default_allowlist`
is opt-out, not opt-in.
- Construction-time validator rejects silent-deny configurations
(`LinkedClaimAllowlist` without a claim source) with a typed
`ChannelConfigurationError`.
- Group-chat denial mirrors the existing `LinkChallenge` DM-redirect
pattern; only the redacted `user_message` reaches the wire,
structured `log_details` stay in telemetry.
Ships in two waves: the Protocol + `NativeIdAllowlist` + config
validator land with the next core PR ahead of the linker; the full
pipeline + `LinkedClaimAllowlist` enforcement land with the
`IdentityLinker` core PR.
Updates: ADR 0026 (summary bullet + conceptual-API table row + resolved
Q16), spec 002 (new req #22, renumbered v1 fast-follow #23..#29 and
stretch #30..#31, new "Authorization profiles and the IdentityAllowlist
seam" subsection, inbound-ownership row, resolved Q32, follow-up entry).

* feat(hosting): add DurableTaskRunner seam + runtime_mode auto-detect
Introduces the explicit long-running vs ephemeral runtime distinction
and a generic DurableTaskRunner Protocol that owns non-originating
push dispatch — collapsing the previous deliveries[] per-destination
state machine, SupportsDeliveryTracking provider capability, and
Foundry update_item service ask down to a single immutable
intended_targets[] write on the message.
Spec / ADR:
- New §"Runtime modes" with auto-detect markers + defaults matrix.
- Rewrites §"Delivery tracking" → §"Intended targets + durable
delivery": intent-only on the message, operational state lives in
the runner.
- New §"Durable task runner" defining DurableTaskRunner / RetryPolicy
/ TaskHandle / TaskStatus.
- Drops §SupportsDeliveryTracking and §Foundry update_item gap.
- Resolved Qs: 12, 18, 21, 26 revised; new 17/18/19 (ADR) and
33/34/35 (spec).
Code:
- New _runner.py with InProcessTaskRunner (asyncio + bounded retry,
bounded terminal-status cache, register-after-start guard,
shutdown drain).
- _host.py: runtime_mode + durable_task_runner ctor params;
auto-detect via FOUNDRY_HOSTING_ENVIRONMENT /
AZURE_FUNCTIONS_ENVIRONMENT / AWS_LAMBDA_FUNCTION_NAME;
HOSTING_PUSH_TASK_NAME handler registered eagerly so
_deliver_response can be called outside the lifespan;
_handle_push_task does echo-then-response inline per destination;
_deliver_response now schedules one task per destination via the
runner (DeliveryReport.pushed = scheduled; .failed = schedule-time
outage only).
- _types.py: new DurableTaskRunner Protocol + RetryPolicy /
TaskHandle / TaskStatus; DeliveryReport drops echoed /
echo_failed (echo outcome owned by the runner).
- __init__.py exports the new public surface.
Tests: 132 passing, 90% coverage. New test_runner.py covers
InProcessTaskRunner success/retry/terminal-failure/cancellation/
register-after-start, runtime-mode auto-detect with synthetic env,
and the warning-on-ephemeral-without-runner path. test_host.py
delivery tests use a sync runner fake for deterministic assertions
and validate the new "schedule succeeded vs runner backend
unreachable" semantics.

* feat(hosting): rubber-duck round-5 — strict ephemeral, codec seam, allowlist Wave-1, drop DeliveryReport
Adopts the rubber-duck-approved package of changes from the round-5
review of PR #5638 (modulo DeliveryReport.failed — the value type is
removed entirely now that durable delivery covers the failure
surface, per user direction).
Code:
- Drop DeliveryReport value type; host-internal _deliver_response
returns bool. Failure observability is now logs (in-process) /
runner backend (durable adapters).
- Strict ephemeral default: ephemeral runtime_mode with the default
in-process runner raises RuntimeError; opt-in via
allow_in_process_runner=True (warns).
- ChannelPushCodec Protocol + DurableTaskPayloadMode enum +
_validate_runner_codec_pairing so JSON-mode runners can be safely
paired with channels via codecs; _handle_push_task accepts both
object- and JSON-envelope shapes.
- ResponseTarget.identity(...) / .identities([...]) builders +
IDENTITIES kind for explicit caller-supplied recipients; field
rename identities → _target_identities (private) with a
target_identities property to resolve the classmethod collision.
- Intent-only audit: _annotate_intended_targets writes
hosting.intended_targets / skipped_targets / includes_originating /
originating_channel onto assistant messages — single immutable
write per the runner-owned operational-state model.
- InProcessTaskRunner: 2-phase drain on shutdown
(shutdown_grace_seconds, default 5.0) so a clean shutdown does not
abandon work mid-retry; payload_mode = OBJECT class-level.
- Echo idempotency: _handle_push_task tracks an echo_done cursor on
runner-owned task state so a retry that fires after the echo
phase succeeded does not double-echo.
Wave-1 authorization seam (full landing):
- New _authorization.py with AllowlistDecision tri-state,
AuthorizationContext, IdentityAllowlist Protocol, AllowAll /
NativeIdAllowlist (with async loader cache + channel-scope ABSTAIN) /
LinkedClaimAllowlist (raise-until-Wave-2) / AnyOfAllowlists /
AllOfAllowlists / CallableAllowlist built-ins, Allowed /
LinkRequired / Denied outcomes, ChannelConfigurationError.
- Host(default_allowlist=..., identity_linker=...) + per-channel
allowlist parameter with 'inherit' / None semantics.
- _validate_channel_authorization enforces all three rules at
construction: claim-source requirement, linker presence for
require_link=True (elevated from no-op — must not ship
unenforced), and NativeIdAllowlist(channel=...) typo detection.
Combinator-walking via _flatten_allowlists catches nested
misconfigs.
- host.authorize(...) for the native-id pipeline: open path returns
Allowed with auto-issued <channel>:<native_id> isolation key (or
the existing key when the identity has been seen); ABSTAIN on a
claim-required allowlist maps to
Denied(reason_code='allowlist_requires_link') until Wave 2 wires
the linker to convert it to LinkRequired.
Spec / ADR:
- docs/specs/002-python-hosting-channels.md: Wave-1 status updated
to reflect the linker-presence rule elevation and the
host.authorize landing; new sub-sections (codec contract, drain,
echo cursor); Qs 18 / 21 DeliveryReport references purged; new
resolved Qs 36–40 covering the strict-ephemeral default, codec
contract, DeliveryReport removal, echo cursor, and drain.
- docs/decisions/0026-hosting-channels.md: Q12 DeliveryReport
reference purged; Q16 updated to reflect Wave-1 landing; new
resolved Qs 20 (codec contract) + 21 (strict ephemeral / drain /
echo cursor).
Tests:
- New tests/test_authorization.py (35 cases) covering every Wave-1
built-in, the three validator rules, combinator decision
semantics, and host.authorize across open / allow / deny /
abstain-with-claim-dep / abstain-without-claim-dep paths plus
existing-key reuse and verified-claims propagation.
- tests/test_host.py: TestDeliverResponse rewritten for the bool
return + runner.scheduled-count assertions; new tests for
IDENTITIES variant + echo idempotency.
- tests/test_runner.py: strict-ephemeral now expects RuntimeError;
allow_in_process_runner opt-in tests; shutdown drain test;
payload_mode default test.
- tests/test_types.py: TestDeliveryReport removed; new
TestDurableTaskPayloadMode + TestResponseTargetIdentities.
Validation: 178 tests pass, 91% coverage, fmt + lint + pyright +
mypy clean.

* feat(hosting): add opt-in disk persistence via state_dir
Long-running hosts (always-on container, single-VM bot, local dev) lose
state on every restart today. Add an opt-in disk persistence layer under
a new `state_dir` constructor parameter on `AgentFrameworkHost` that
survives process restarts without taking on a heavyweight database
dependency.
Backed by `diskcache` (installed via the new `[disk]` optional extra).
An OS-level advisory file lock guarantees single-owner semantics so two
hosts pointed at the same directory cannot double-execute scheduled
pushes.
What persists when `state_dir` is set:
- Pending durable-task records — scheduled-but-not-yet-completed pushes
replay on the next host startup via `InProcessTaskRunner.resume()`.
Records that crashed mid-attempt resume with the already-consumed
retry budget (no full-budget re-grant).
- `_session_aliases` — per-isolation-key session-id rewrites.
- `_active` — most-recently-active channel per isolation key.
- `_identities` — `ChannelIdentity` rows for fan-out targeting,
including nested mutations of the form
`self._identities[ik][channel] = identity`.
The `state_dir` parameter accepts any of:
- `None` — today's purely in-memory behaviour.
- `str` / `PathLike` — single root; host auto-creates `runner/` and
`sessions/` subfolders.
- `HostStatePaths` TypedDict / plain mapping — per-component overrides
routed to different roots. Unknown keys raise `ValueError` to surface
typos early.
Unpicklable push payloads raise `PushPayloadNotPicklable` eagerly from
`schedule()` so issues surface at the call site rather than on the
next restart. Corrupt on-disk records are quarantined-and-logged; the
runner never crashes on resume.
Live `AgentSession` objects stay in memory and are rehydrated lazily
by the history provider on the next turn.
- New modules: `_persistence.py` (lock + normalisation),
`_state_store.py` (session-bookkeeping store).
- Runner rewrite: 4-state model (`pending` / `succeeded` / `failed`
/ `cancelled`); the transient `running` state was a bug that caused
resume to skip records that crashed mid-handler.
- New tests: `test_runner_disk.py` (8 tests), `test_host_disk.py` (8
tests). 194 passed total. pyright + mypy + ruff clean.
- README: new "Optional disk persistence" section with code samples.

* feat(hosting): add checkpoints to state_dir + fix host docstring
Three related polish changes on top of the disk-persistence landing:
1. Extend `state_dir` to cover workflow checkpoints. Adds
`checkpoints` as a third `HostStatePaths` key. Single-path form
(`state_dir="/foo"`) now also auto-derives `/foo/checkpoints/`
for workflow targets (equivalent to passing
`checkpoint_location="/foo/checkpoints"`). The mapping form lets
workflow callers opt out by omitting the key, or route checkpoints
to a different volume.
Conflict / precedence rules:
* Explicit `checkpoint_location` always wins over the state_dir
derived path; a warning surfaces the double-config.
* Single-path `state_dir` + non-Workflow target → checkpoints path
silently ignored (no eager directory creation either).
* Mapping form with `checkpoints` + non-Workflow target → warn
(almost certainly dead config).
* Derived path with a workflow that already has its own
`checkpoint_storage` → same `RuntimeError` as the explicit
parameter triggers, so ownership stays unambiguous.
Checkpoint persistence uses `FileCheckpointStorage` from the
framework core — no extra dependency. Only `runner` and
`sessions` require the `[disk]` extra.
2. Move `AgentFrameworkHost.__init__` parameter docs from `Args:` to
`Keyword Args:` for every parameter after the `*`. Only `target`
remains under `Args:`. Brings the docstring in line with the
actual signature (the params have always been keyword-only).
3. `HostStatePaths` already existed as a TypedDict but did not cover
`checkpoints`; updated to document the new key with the same
per-attribute docstring style as `runner` / `sessions` so editors
can surface help on the keys.
Validation: 201 tests pass (was 194; +7 checkpoint integration tests
in test_host_disk.py). pyright + mypy + ruff + bandit clean.

* feat(hosting): add core IdentityLinker authorization seam
Fold the core IdentityLinker pieces into the hosting-core PR so the
authorization surface no longer has a deferred Wave-2 placeholder.
Provider-specific linkers (for example Entra OAuth helpers) can now plug
into core without core depending on an IdP SDK.
Core additions:
- Add LinkChallenge, LinkedIdentity, LinkResolution, and IdentityLinker.
IdentityLinker.resolve(identity) is a single-call decision that returns
either a linked identity with verified claims or a challenge the channel
can render.
- Enable LinkedClaimAllowlist end-to-end. It now abstains pre-link and
allows/denies post-link against verified claims, including multi-valued
claims such as groups.
- Add AuthPolicy factories for common allowlist shapes.
- Extend Allowed with verified_claims and claim_source for audit/telemetry
without requiring callers to re-derive how the decision was made.
Host behavior:
- identity_linker is now typed as IdentityLinker | None.
- authorize() supports open, native-id, forced-link, and linked-claim
profiles end-to-end.
- require_link=True resolves via the linker and returns LinkRequired when
the identity is not linked.
- claim-based allowlists use channel-emitted verified_claims when present,
or linker-resolved claims otherwise.
- authorize() remains decision-only and does not mutate _identities/_active;
identity registry writes remain on the actual request execution path.
Docs/tests:
- Remove Wave-1/Wave-2 language from core/spec/ADR surfaces touched here.
- Update the spec/ADR to describe the core linker seam and provider-specific
linker packages.
- Add authorization tests for linker challenges, linked identities, linked
claim allowlists, channel-emitted claims, AuthPolicy factories, and the
no-mutation contract.
Validation: 214 tests pass, pyright/mypy/ruff clean.

* feat(hosting): add link-store path to state_dir
Identity linking introduces host-adjacent state that needs the same state_dir treatment as runner, session, and checkpoint state. Add a links component to the host state paths so applications and linker packages have a typed, discoverable persistence location.
Changes:
- Extend HostStatePaths with links and include it in state_dir normalization (state_dir/links/ for the single-path form).
- Add SupportsLinkStorePath, an optional protocol for identity linkers that accept a host-provided link-store path.
- AgentFrameworkHost now offers state_dir links to compatible linkers, warns when an explicit links path is supplied without a linker, and warns when the configured linker manages persistence directly instead of implementing SupportsLinkStorePath.
- Update README and spec text to document the link-store component and clarify that concrete linkers still own the storage format.
- Add disk-state tests for compatible, missing, and non-configurable linkers.
Validation: 217 tests pass, pyright/mypy/ruff clean.

* first iteration of channel spec
* added deny link setup
* clarify invocation hook role and dedupe ADR/spec
ADR 0026:
- Tighten Decision Outcome Summary so each concept is mentioned once;
defer full definitions to the Terminology section.
- Update ChannelInvocationHook bullet to match the clarified gap #7
language (uniform ChannelRequest envelope, hook timing, illustrative
examples).
- Drop Decision Drivers bullets that just restated Business Goals;
cross-link to the goals section instead.
- Replace the More Information bullet list with a pointer to Non-Goals.
Spec 002:
- Trim requirement #21 to point at the canonical LinkPolicy section
instead of restating the full contract.
- Add a #linkpolicy-and-trust_level subsection anchor for cross-refs.
- Trim the Terminology LinkPolicy entry's two-hosts caveat (canonical
version stays in the Key Types section).

* Refine hosting ADR + spec: A2A/MCP-tool channels, store-parameter matrix, open-question pass
- Surface A2A and MCP-tool channels as explicitly designed-in but fast-follow work after the first Responses + Invocations + Telegram release. Updated ADR business goals, non-goals, and More Information; added spec reqs #25 (A2AChannel) and #26 (MCPToolChannel) under v1 Fast Follow; renumbered the WhatsApp/Teams entry to #27.
- New 'The Responses store parameter' subsection in the spec: 2x3 destination matrix making explicit that 'store' has no canonical meaning at the hosted-agent layer — the developer decides what it maps to across service-side, hosted-agent storage, and caller-side. Includes design properties on forwarding-vs-mapping, per-deployment documentation responsibility, and richer storage vocabulary via OpenAI's extra_body.
- Fixed contradicting spec text that previously claimed ResponsesChannel maps store=False to session_mode=disabled by default; updated channel options table, session_mode terminology entry, and Scenario 3 prose/comment to match the new model.
- Renamed FoundryHistoryProvider -> FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider throughout the spec (9 occurrences) so the name reinforces the intended hosted-agent use case.
- ADR open-questions pass: walked through all 15 entries with the user. 13 resolved (moved to a new 'Resolved Questions (decisions log)' table), 2 kept open with refined wording (Q6 'Channel' GA name, Q14 Responses WS subprotocol). Added a 'Decisions-driven follow-ups' bullet list capturing the spec-body / sample edits implied by the resolutions.

* Hosting ADR + spec: rename Teams channel to Activity Protocol, add multi-user conversation design
- Rename the planned Teams channel to ActivityChannel (package agent-framework-hosting-activity). Promoted to req #27 (v1 fast follow) alongside A2A and MCP-tool, with native translations from Activity Protocol objects to AF types so the contract is explicit rather than implicit through Invocations. Channel sits behind Azure Bot Service, which fronts Teams / Web Chat / Slack / etc. Naming reserves a TeamsChannel name for any future direct-to-Teams transport that bypasses Bot Service (now stretch req #28 with WhatsApp). ResponseTarget channel ids and JSON examples updated from "teams" to "activity". Appendix B updated to acknowledge that ActivityChannel deliberately reuses the Bot Service connector model (the no-connector stance applies to the rest of the channel set).
- Add first-class design for multi-user surfaces (Telegram groups / supergroups / forum topics; Activity Protocol groupChat and team channels). Cleanly separate user identity (ChannelIdentity.native_id = from.id / from.aadObjectId) from conversation locator (ChannelRequest.conversation_id = chat.id (+ message_thread_id / replyToId)). New per-channel options: conversation_scope (per_user / per_user_per_conversation (default in groups) / per_conversation) and accept_in_group addressing rule (mention_only (default) / command_only / mention_or_command / all). Specifies originating reply must include conversation + thread locator, ChannelPush behavior in groups, link-ceremony privacy (challenges redirected to user DMs), and the Activity-channel mapping for personal / groupChat / channel conversationType plus Teams replyToId threading. Broadcast Telegram Channels and adaptive-card Invoke activity flows scoped as fast follow.

* docs(hosting): rename RunHandle → ContinuationToken; HostStateStore (file-based v1); align agentserver dependency posture
- Rename RunHandle → ContinuationToken (opaque URL-safe `token` field) throughout
ADR + spec; update routes to /{continuation_token}; spec out equivalent
continuation-token support for the Invocations channel (Q20 done).
- Introduce HostStateStore as the single persistence seam for host-execution
metadata (continuation tokens, identity-link grants, last-seen records).
V1 default: FileHostStateStore (atomic JSON-per-record under ./.af-hosting/,
per-namespace TTLs) — background runs and link grants now survive host
restarts. InMemoryHostStateStore for tests; pluggable Cosmos / SQL / Redis
remain v1 fast follow under req #23. Closes Q9, Q11, Q14.
- Drop blanket "no agentserver dependency" claims. Hosting core is still
independent of agentserver, but channel packages MAY consume lower-level
building blocks (notably the Foundry response-store SDK that
FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider builds on).

* docs(hosting): swap Scenarios 6 and 7 so the linker comes before cross-channel continuity
Scenario 6 (cross-channel continuity) previously forward-referenced Scenario 7
(linker) twice, since continuity depends on the link/merge ceremony. Invert the
order so the linker scenario establishes the mechanism first and the continuity
scenario builds on it. Update internal cross-references, the require_link
section anchor, and Scenario 8's prerequisites/comment to match. Also tightened
the new Scenario 7's closing note to point at HostStateStore (file-based
default) for cross-host continuity, and dropped a stale MfaIdentityLinker
reference from the linker variants paragraph (Q13 dropped MFA from phase 1).
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* docs(hosting): rewrite Scenario 7 as trusted-relay + add ResponseTarget.identities
The previous Scenario 7 (cross-channel chat continuity) implied two independent
auto-issued isolation_keys would converge by themselves — they don't, that
needs a linker. Replace with a more realistic and complementary scenario:
a trusted server-side application backend exposes Responses + Telegram against
the same agent and uses extra_body to carry app-internal identity hints
(app_user_id, push_to_telegram_chat_id) that a Responses run_hook translates
into both an isolation_key promotion and a push to a known Telegram chat.
Includes a closing variant pointing back at Scenario 6's linker for the
no-app-table flow.
Adds the ResponseTarget.identities([ChannelIdentity(...)]) variant to the
type table and req #12 to support 'caller already knows the channel-native
recipient' delivery without going through the link store. Bypasses the link
store but still consults LinkPolicy per delivery.
Drops MfaIdentityLinker references from req #11, req #24, and the linker
helpers table (Q13 had already dropped MFA from phase 1; the spec body just
hadn't caught up). Marks ADR Q8 follow-up done.

* docs(hosting): wire FileCheckpointStorage into Scenario 9 + show resume-from-checkpoint flow
Scenario 9 now builds the workflow with a FileCheckpointStorage so executor
frames are persisted across runs, and demonstrates how the run_hook surfaces
a caller-supplied resume_from_checkpoint into request.attributes so the host's
workflow dispatch can pass it to Workflow.run(checkpoint_id=...). Closing
paragraph clarifies that CheckpointStorage is workflow-runtime state, kept
structurally separate from HostStateStore and ContextProvider — three
protocols that MAY share a backend but stay independently typed.

* docs(hosting): emphasize result richness in Scenario 10 (channels are not limited to result.text)
Add a 'Result is rich, not just text' callout under the channel-authoring
sample. Inventories the typed Contents on the underlying AgentRunResult
(TextContent, DataContent, UriContent, FunctionCallContent /
FunctionResultContent, HostedFile/VectorStoreContent, UsageContent,
TextReasoningContent, ErrorContent + additional_properties), the typed
structured output via result.value, and shows concrete examples per channel
shape: Telegram (MarkdownV2 + sendPhoto/sendAudio + inline keyboards),
Responses (full content-list round-trip), chat UI (GFM/HTML +
collapsible tool/reasoning panels), voice (TTS + earcons), typed RPC
(result.value first). result.text is positioned as a convenience for
single-string channels, not the contract.

* spec: add TeamsChannel (microsoft/teams.py) as fast-follow req #28
Add a Teams-native channel package built on the MIT-licensed
microsoft/teams.py SDK as fast-follow alongside the generic
ActivityChannel (req #27). Where ActivityChannel targets the
generic Activity Protocol surface, TeamsChannel exploits
Teams-specific affordances the generic protocol does not surface
natively: Adaptive Cards (typed builder), streamed replies,
AI-generated badge, feedback controls + form, suggested-prompt
chips, inline citations, modal Dialogs, Message Extensions
(action / search / link unfurling), proactive / targeted /
threaded messages, and SSO via MSAL.
Mounts the SDK's App into the host's Starlette app via a custom
HttpServerAdapter; reuses the same host-tracked-session family
as ActivityChannel (from.aadObjectId -> ChannelIdentity). The
SDK already ships a 'Build an agent using Microsoft Agent
Framework' guide so the integration story is direct.
Renumber the WhatsApp / direct-to-Teams stretch item to req #29
and clarify its 'direct-to-Teams' placeholder is a future
transport that bypasses both Bot Service and the teams.py SDK.
Add the SDK to Dependencies & Commitment Status as a proposed
runtime dep of agent-framework-hosting-teams.

* spec: clarify direct-to-Teams stretch as speculative (no Bot Service)
Split the WhatsApp + direct-to-Teams stretch entry into two
distinct items and reword the direct-to-Teams item to be honest
about its current feasibility:
- It MUST not rely on Azure Bot Service (otherwise it is just
ActivityChannel / TeamsChannel under a different name).
- No such transport is publicly available today: Graph chat APIs
and microsoft/teams.py both ultimately route through Bot Service
for the bot-as-conversation-participant pattern.
- The slot is kept on the roadmap to preserve the naming line in
case Microsoft ships a Bot-Service-free transport (native Teams
REST/RPC, a Graph subscription strong enough to drive both
inbound and outbound message flow, ...).
- Reaffirm TeamsChannel (req #28) as the canonical Teams channel
until then.

* spec: clarify TeamsChannel still rides on Bot Service in v1; add audience table
Make explicit that TeamsChannel (req #28) uses Azure Bot Service
in v1 — the microsoft/teams.py SDK is a higher-level Pythonic
wrapper over the same Activity Protocol pipeline that
ActivityChannel exposes raw. The difference is what the developer
writes against, not the network path. A Bot-Service-free Teams
transport is not currently possible and stays tracked as the
speculative req #30.
Add the ActivityChannel vs TeamsChannel audience comparison table
to req #28 so the choice is obvious to readers:
- ActivityChannel: maximum portability across all Bot Service-fronted channels.
- TeamsChannel: Teams-first deployments wanting Cards / Dialogs /
Message Extensions / citations / feedback / suggested prompts /
SSO out of the box.

* Fix declarative workflow regressions for hosted agents
Three regressions surfaced when running a declarative workflow as a
Foundry hosted agent. Together they caused every condition group to fall
through to elseActions and the raw agent JSON to leak to the caller.
1. AgentProviderExtensions.InvokeAgentAsync forced autoSend to true
whenever the agent ran on the workflow conversation, which overrode
the explicit autoSend: false declared in workflow.yaml and streamed
the raw structured-output JSON straight to the user. Honor the
caller-supplied autoSend instead.
2. IWorkflowContextExtensions.ReadState / QueueStateUpdateAsync /
QueueStateResetAsync took the variable name and namespace alias
directly from PropertyPath.VariableName / NamespaceAlias. Against
Microsoft.Agents.ObjectModel 2026.2.4.1 those properties return null
for a dotted reference such as `Local.Triage` even when
SegmentCount == 2 and IsValid == true, so every assignment threw
ArgumentNullException via Throw.IfNull. Fall back to Segments() to
reconstruct the name and alias when the parser returns null.
3. The same ObjectModel version no longer recognizes the user-facing
`Local` scope alias: VariableScopeNames.IsValidName(`Local`)
returns false and GetNamespaceFromName(`Local`) returns Unknown, so
the declarative interpreter's IsManagedScope check fails and the
State.Set call is silently skipped. Translate the `Local` alias to
its canonical `Topic` form before forwarding to
QueueStateUpdateAsync; WorkflowFormulaState.Bind continues to expose
it as `Local` to PowerFx.
Verified end-to-end against a deployed Foundry hosted agent: the
declarative triage workflow now routes Technical / Billing / General
inputs correctly and only the autoSend-eligible messages reach the
caller.

* Hosted-agent HITL: persist session across previous_response_id chains; run approved local AIFunctions
Two regressions hit declarative workflows that use require_approval=true when
the client chains turns via previous_response_id (no conversation_id):
1. AgentFrameworkResponseHandler keyed the AgentSession store solely on
conversation_id, so when only previous_response_id was present the
StateBag (which holds ToolApprovalIdMap) was discarded after each turn.
The next turn then threw 'No approval mapping recorded for wire id ...'
in InputConverter.ConvertMcpApprovalResponse.
Fix: fall back to previous_response_id on load and to context.ResponseId
on save so the response-id chain becomes a valid session key. Conversation
id remains preferred when present.
2. InvokeFunctionToolExecutor.CaptureResponseAsync only acted on
FunctionResultContent. In the hosted Foundry path the approval response
arrives as a ToolApprovalResponseContent with no FunctionResultContent,
so the local AIFunction never ran and downstream PropertyPath/SendActivity
consumers (e.g. {Local.RefundResult}) saw empty values.
Fix: when no FunctionResultContent matches but an approved
ToolApprovalResponseContent does, look up the registered AIFunction by
name on agentProvider.Functions and invoke it with the evaluated
arguments, surfacing the result through the existing assignment path.

* Apply PropertyPath workaround to initialization path; share + tidy helpers
Address PR #5905 review feedback:
* Move the PropertyPath VariableName/NamespaceAlias fallback and 'Local'
-> 'Topic' scope remap into a shared internal PropertyPathExtensions
helper. Materializes Segments() once, names the magic 'Local' alias
as a const, and carries a TODO referencing the tracking issue.
* Apply the same helper in WorkflowDiagnostics.InitializeDefaults so a
declared default for a dotted variable like 'Local.Triage' is no
longer silently skipped at workflow startup (closes the gap flagged
by the reviewer: runtime ReadState/QueueStateUpdateAsync worked but
state.Initialize did not).
* Restore the previous strict failure mode on namespace alias by
wrapping GetNamespaceAlias() in Throw.IfNull at call sites so a
malformed single-segment path keeps failing fast rather than
silently passing null to State.Get/Set.
All 821 unit tests pass.

* Add tests for AgentProviderExtensions.InvokeAgentAsync autoSend behavior
Covers the autoSend regression fix: when the agent runs on the workflow conversation with autoSend=false, no AgentResponseUpdateEvent or AgentResponseEvent is added to the context. Also covers autoSend=true (events emitted) and autoSend=false on a non-workflow conversation.

* Surface SendActivity output via AgentResponseUpdateEvent
SendActivityExecutor previously only emitted the activity text via YieldOutputAsync, which the runtime converts to an AgentResponseEvent. WorkflowSession gates AgentResponseEvent behind includeWorkflowOutputsInResponse, so when a host opts out of summary outputs (the default for AsAIAgent) the SendActivity reply is silently dropped.
Mirror the pattern used by AgentProviderExtensions for autoSend agent invocations: also emit an AgentResponseUpdateEvent, which WorkflowSession yields unconditionally. This makes SendActivity reliably reach chat-protocol clients without requiring includeWorkflowOutputsInResponse = true (which would also duplicate autoSend agent output).

* Revert previous_response_id session-key fallback
The fallback let a session be keyed by an unbroken previous_response_id chain,
but conversation_id is the right way to thread state across turns: it survives
shared/branched chains (e.g. when another agent generates a response in between)
and is the documented model for stateful clients. Restore conversation_id as the
sole session key and rely on the client to thread it. The InvokeFunctionTool
approval/local-function half of 1baf4af4d remains.

* Set Foundry ProductContext per-executor instead of via PropertyPath workaround
ObjectModel 2026.2.4.1 resolves PropertyPath.VariableName / NamespaceAlias and VariableScopeNames.IsValidName against AsyncLocal<ProductContext> at access time. In hosted-agent scenarios each HTTP request runs on a fresh async context where that AsyncLocal is default, so dotted refs like Local.Triage returned null and the Local scope alias was rejected.
Replace the PropertyPathExtensions helper (which papered over both symptoms) with a single WorkflowDiagnostics.SetFoundryProduct() call at the entry of DeclarativeActionExecutor.HandleAsync. The set writes to the request's logical async context before any code reads PropertyPath, letting the existing parser and scope resolver work as designed.
Validated: 824/824 declarative unit tests pass; technical/billing/general routes all dispatch correctly against a deployed Foundry hosted agent.

* Address review feedback on InvokeFunctionToolExecutor
- Surface registered-function lookup failures and invocation exceptions via FunctionResultContent.Exception instead of returning the error text as a successful Result, so downstream {Local.X} assignments can distinguish failures from successes.
- Use AIJsonUtilities.DefaultOptions to JSON-serialize non-string function results (matching FunctionInvokingChatClient / ToolBridge), so complex types stay consumable by PropertyPath consumers instead of degrading to Object.ToString().
- Drop the explicit System. prefix on StringComparison / Exception now that the file imports System.
- Add AutoSendTrueOnExternalConversationEmitsResponseEventsAndCopiesMessagesAsync to cover the (autoSend: true, external conversation) quadrant, asserting that response events are emitted and that messages are mirrored to the workflow conversation.

* Honor AutoSendIsDefaultValue when computing autoSend
AzureAgentOutput.AutoSend and InvokeToolOutput.AutoSend in
Microsoft.Agents.ObjectModel 2026.2.4.1 are never null — they
return a literal-false default when the YAML omits the field.
The previous null check in Get/AutoSendValue therefore always
fell through to evaluating the literal false, so every action
whose YAML had any output block but no explicit autoSend was
treated as autoSend = false. This was previously masked by
`autoSend |= isWorkflowConversation` in AgentProviderExtensions
(removed earlier in this PR to honor explicit autoSend: false),
which silently re-enabled autoSend on the workflow conversation.
Use AutoSendIsDefaultValue to distinguish an explicit autoSend
value from the implicit default and treat the implicit default
as true, restoring the historical behavior for ValidateCaseAsync
InvokeAgent.yaml (3 InvokeAzureAgent actions, last one captures
to Local.RatingResponse via output.messages with no autoSend
specified) while keeping the hosted-agent fix that honors an
explicit autoSend: false.

* feat(tools): add cross-OS LocalShellTool in new agent-framework-tools package
Introduces a safe, cross-OS local shell tool as the first citizen of a new
agent-framework-tools workspace package. Supports persistent (default) and
stateless modes across pwsh/powershell.exe/bash/sh, with policy denylist,
allowlist, approval gating, process-tree kill on timeout, output truncation,
and audit hooks. Integrates with existing provider get_shell_tool(func=...)
factories via FunctionTool kind='shell'.

* feat(tools): security hardening for LocalShellTool
Codifies what LocalShellTool does and does not defend against, and
delegates the security-relevant lifecycle primitive to a battle-tested
library instead of hand-rolled per-OS code.
Changes:
- Adopt psutil for cross-OS process-tree termination (executor + session).
Replaces hand-rolled taskkill/killpg with one canonical implementation.
- Resolve taskkill.exe to absolute %SystemRoot%\System32 path so PATH
poisoning cannot redirect us to an attacker-supplied binary.
- Reframe ShellPolicy docstring + ADR + README: denylist is a guardrail,
not a security boundary.
- Require acknowledge_unsafe=True to set approval_mode='never_require',
making the unsafe path explicitly opt-in with a self-documenting name.
- Add tests/test_security.py codifying named CVE-style cases. Defenses
we DO claim are asserted; non-defenses (denylist bypasses via
backslash insertion, variable expansion, interpreter escape, base64,
alternative tools, PowerShell-native verbs) are documented as
expected-to-pass tests so residual risk stays visible.
- Add Threat Model + Confidence Strategy sections to ADR 0026.

* feat(tools): add DockerShellTool sandboxed shell tier
Adds a container-backed shell executor as the recommended pattern for untrusted-input shell workflows. The container provides the security boundary (--network none, non-root user, --read-only, --cap-drop ALL, no-new-privileges, memory/pids limits, tmpfs /tmp), so approval gating is optional unlike LocalShellTool.
Also introduces a ShellExecutor Protocol so callers can plug in custom backends (Firecracker, SSH, WASI) without forking the framework.
Removes the planned HyperlightShellExecutor follow-up from ADR 0026: Hyperlight is a WASM code sandbox with no kernel/userland/shell binary, so a Hyperlight-backed shell is not viable. Docker is the realistic sandbox tier for shell.
Tests: 11 unit tests for argv builders + lifecycle (no Docker daemon required); 3 integration tests gated on is_docker_available().

* fix(tools): backport shell-tool fixes from .NET parity review
Applies the applicable subset of bug fixes accumulated during the
.NET shell-tool PR review (microsoft/agent-framework#5604) to the
Python shell tool.
A1 - Quote workdir safely in _maybe_reanchor
Previously _tool.py used double-quote interpolation when emitting
the cd/Set-Location prefix, which expanded $VAR, $(), and backticks
in the workdir path. A workdir containing shell metacharacters could
trigger arbitrary command execution before the user command ran.
Replaced with single-quote escaping helpers _quote_posix and
_quote_powershell that emit literal-string forms safe for both
hosts.
A5/A6 - Consolidate truncation to a single byte-aware helper
Extracted a shared truncate_head_tail / truncate_text_head_tail
helper in _truncate.py. The new implementation distributes odd
caps so head receives floor(cap/2) and tail receives ceil(cap/2)
bytes, matching the .NET round-9 fix and ensuring no input bytes
are silently dropped on the boundary.
_session.py previously truncated by Python str length while the
caller passed _max_output_bytes - the unit mismatch is now gone:
raw byte buffers go through truncate_head_tail and decoded text
goes through truncate_text_head_tail.
Unit tests added for the truncate and quote helpers.

* docs(tools): tone down narrative and overconfident comments in shell tool
The shell tool's docstrings and comments contained two patterns that
the .NET review pushed back on:
- Narrative framing about implementation history ("hard-won",
"we sidestep", "design inspiration: ...", competitor framework
name-drops in module docstrings).
- Overstated security guarantees ("battle-tested",
"reasonable for untrusted input", "recommended executor for any
agent that runs commands from untrusted input",
"destructive commands are blocked", "safe local shell tool",
"blocks shell injection").
Rewrites the affected docstrings and comments to describe what the
code does in neutral terms. Behaviour is unchanged.

* feat(tools): add ShellEnvironmentProvider for the Python shell tool
Ports the .NET ShellEnvironmentProvider as a Python ContextProvider
so agents using LocalShellTool or DockerShellTool can be primed with
an accurate description of the shell they're talking to (family,
version, OS, working directory, and which CLIs are available).
The provider runs probes through any ShellExecutor, caches the
resulting snapshot, and on every before_run extends the session
instructions with a markdown block describing the shell idiom to
use. A failed first probe leaves the cache empty so the next call
retries (no permanent poisoning).
Probe failures from a narrow set of expected error types
(ShellCommandError, ShellExecutionError, ShellTimeoutError, and
asyncio.TimeoutError from the per-probe timeout) are recorded as
None fields in the snapshot. Other exceptions propagate. Tool
names are validated against ^[A-Za-z0-9._-]+$ before being
interpolated into a probe command.
Includes 12 unit tests covering happy path, stderr fallback,
timeout handling, expected/unexpected exception paths, malicious
tool name rejection, case-insensitive deduplication, retry after
failure, concurrent first-callers sharing one probe, and the
default and custom formatter paths.

* docs(tools): document ShellEnvironmentProvider and finish comment cleanup

* refactor(tools): move shell samples to python/samples/02-agents/tools
The repository convention is to host samples under python/samples/ rather than inside the package directory. Move the two net-new shell samples (allow-list and environment-provider) to python/samples/02-agents/tools/ and drop the in-package samples/ directory; the existing top-level providers/openai/client_with_local_shell.py already covers the basic LocalShellTool walkthrough.

* test(tools): cover confine_workdir default and ShellResult.format_for_model
Two new tests in test_local_shell_tool.py exercise the default confine_workdir=True behaviour on POSIX and PowerShell, asserting that 'cd' inside one persistent-mode call does not leak into the next. A new test_shell_result.py module provides direct unit coverage for every conditional branch of ShellResult.format_for_model (stdout, truncated, stderr, timed_out, exit_code) so regressions in the LLM-facing format are caught immediately.

* Remove DEFAULT_DENYLIST; document single-session ownership; fix bandit findings
Mirrors the .NET PR #5604 cleanup:
- Remove DEFAULT_DENYLIST from ShellPolicy. ShellPolicy() now ships with an empty deny-list; operators opt into site-specific patterns explicitly. No major agent framework uses regex matching as a primary security control; AutoGen v2 removed theirs. Approval gating + sandbox tier remain the real boundaries.
- Rewrite module / class docstrings to frame ShellPolicy as a UX pre-filter, not a security control.
- Add Single-session ownership paragraphs to ShellExecutor, ShellSession, LocalShellTool, and DockerShellTool: a persistent-mode tool is owned by exactly one conversation / agent session; do not share across users or concurrent conversations.
- Tests now supply explicit deny patterns instead of relying on a default.
- Address Pre-commit Hooks (bandit) CI failures: convert internal-invariant asserts to explicit RuntimeError, annotate intentional subprocess/shell usage with # nosec, document container-internal /tmp paths.

* Address PR #5664 round-2 review feedback
Deny-list documentation drift:
- README and the OpenAI/local-shell sample no longer claim a built-in deny-list of destructive commands. ShellPolicy is described as an optional, operator-supplied UX pre-filter; the real boundaries remain approval gating and the sandbox tier.
Behavioural fixes called out in review:
- ShellPolicy.evaluate() now denies empty / whitespace-only commands explicitly instead of returning allow with no rationale.
- truncate_head_tail() raises ValueError for cap <= 0 instead of silently returning the full input with truncated=False, which previously could defeat output-capping in callers that mis-configured the budget.
- LocalShellTool.as_function() / DockerShellTool.as_function() return the ShellCommandError text directly so the model sees a single, non-redundant 'Command rejected by policy: …' message instead of the prior duplicated 'Command blocked by policy: Command rejected …' wrapping.
- ShellSession POSIX sentinel trailer now snapshots and restores the prior errexit (set -e) state around the trailer, so a user 'set -e' in the persistent shell is no longer permanently disabled by the next run().
Tests:
- New test_shell_parse_rc.py covers the full _parse_rc() edge-case surface (zero, positive, negative, CRLF, no newline, missing prefix, empty input, non-digits, trailing garbage, partial digits).
- test_policy.py asserts the new empty-command deny.
- test_shell_truncate_and_quote.py asserts ValueError for cap=0 and cap<0.

- _resolve.py: in stateless mode, ensure shell overrides end with -c/-Command so commands aren't misinterpreted as script-file paths.
- ShellExecutor.run / LocalShellTool.run / DockerShellTool.run now accept an optional imeout kwarg; ShellEnvironmentProvider drops the outer asyncio.wait_for and lets the executor enforce the probe timeout internally, so cancellation no longer risks leaving a hung subprocess or corrupted session.

* Address review feedback: docker isolation + lifecycle robustness
- pyproject.toml: bump agent-framework-core minimum from 1.2.0 to 1.2.2 to align with the rest of the workspace.
- _docker.py: validate extra_run_args at construction time and reject flags that would dismantle the isolation defaults (--privileged, --cap-add, --security-opt, --network/--net, -v/--volume/--mount, --device, --pid, --ipc, --userns, --user, --read-only, --tmpfs, --add-host, --gpus, --cgroupns, --device-cgroup-rule); also documented the warning on the docstring.
- _docker._stop_container: retry docker rm -f once and log a warning/error when it does not succeed, so operators can audit leaked containers instead of getting a silent success.
- _docker._run_stateless timeout path: fall back to docker rm -f when docker kill fails or times out (--rm only reaps on clean exit), and log instead of silently swallowing communicate() errors.

* .NET: Surface x-ms-served-model header as ChatResponse.ModelId for Foundry agents
Mirrors Python PR #5910. Adds an internal SCM PipelinePolicy that reads the x-ms-served-model HTTP response header on Azure OpenAI Responses calls and writes it into an AsyncLocal box. A DelegatingChatClient sits between OpenTelemetry and the MEAI OpenAIResponsesChatClient and overwrites ChatResponse.ModelId with the served snapshot so OTel spans report the actual model rather than the deployment alias. Wired through all AsAIAgent paths in Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.
* .NET: Fix line endings and BOM on ResponsesAgentServedModelTests
* .NET: Address Copilot review on Foundry served-model PR
- Restore previous ServedModelScope in finally to avoid AsyncLocal leak into caller execution context.
- Make served-model integration test assertion robust to deployment names that already match the snapshot pattern.
- Broaden UnitTests csproj comment to cover all conditional removals (net8.0+ requirement).
* .NET: Split ServedModelTests into per-SUT files with regions
Split the combined ServedModelTests.cs into one test class per SUT:
- ServedModelScopeTests.cs (AsyncLocal carrier)
- ServedModelPolicyTests.cs (SCM pipeline policy)
- ServedModelChatClientTests.cs (delegating client, with regions for Non-streaming / Streaming / End-to-end)
Shared helpers and fake clients moved into ServedModelTestHelpers.cs.
Csproj net8.0+ exclusion list updated accordingly.
* .NET: Consolidate served-model logic into FoundryChatClient
Move x-ms-served-model header capture from the standalone ServedModelChatClient
decorator directly into FoundryChatClient, eliminating a separate wrapper that
had to be applied at every Foundry entry point via WireServedModel().
- Register ServedModelPolicy in FoundryChatClient constructors (alongside the
existing AgentFrameworkUserAgentPolicy registration)
- Add StrongBox push/read logic to FoundryChatClient.GetResponseAsync and
GetStreamingResponseAsync
- Delete ServedModelChatClient.cs and its unit tests
- Remove WireServedModel() from FoundryAgent and AIProjectClientExtensions
- Update ServedModelPolicy/Scope XML docs to reference FoundryChatClient
- Simplify ServedModelTestHelpers to use FoundryChatClient directly

* feat(a2a): use non-streaming transport and return_immediately for background ops
When stream=False, use a client configured with streaming=False so the
SDK sends a single HTTP POST to message/send instead of opening an SSE
connection via message/stream. This matches the A2A protocol's design:
non-streaming calls use direct request/response, streaming calls use
Server-Sent Events.
Also sets return_immediately=background on SendMessageConfiguration so
the server respects the caller's intent for background operations.
Changes:
- Create separate streaming and non-streaming internal clients (sharing
the same httpx connection pool) to match protocol transport semantics
- Select non-streaming client for run(stream=False) calls
- Add SendMessageConfiguration with return_immediately=background
- Fallback to streaming client when non-streaming unavailable (e.g. user
provides their own client via constructor)
- Add tests for client selection and return_immediately behavior
Resolvesmicrosoft/agent-framework#5936
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix: address PR review feedback
- Initialize last_request in MockA2AClient.__init__ for explicit state
- Use 'is not None' instead of truthiness for _non_streaming_client check
- Assert return_immediately propagates through non-streaming client path
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix: only set configuration when background=True
Only attach SendMessageConfiguration to the request when background=True,
keeping requests minimal and preserving server-side defaults for normal
(foreground) operations. This follows the framework pattern of only
setting optional fields when they have meaningful values.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix: only set return_immediately for non-streaming background ops
Per the A2A spec, return_immediately only applies to message/send
(non-streaming). It has no effect on streaming operations. Only set
the configuration field when both background=True and stream=False.
Adds test verifying streaming+background does not set return_immediately.

* Consolidate Foundry chat client decorators into FoundryChatClient
- Replace AzureAIProjectChatClient and AzureAIProjectResponsesChatClient with a single internal sealed FoundryChatClient that covers three modes (pure responses, server-side agent reference, hosted agent endpoint).
- Rename AzureAIProjectChatClientExtensions to AIProjectClientExtensions to reflect that it extends AIProjectClient.
- All four AsAIAgent extension overloads and both FoundryAgent constructors now construct FoundryChatClient internally so the microsoft.foundry telemetry tag is uniform across paths.
- Introduce AgentFrameworkUserAgentPolicy that stamps agent-framework-dotnet/{version} on outbound requests, mirroring the Python agent-framework-python/{version} contract.
- Delete the Foundry-local MeaiUserAgentPolicy duplicate; rely on MEAI 10.5.1 to stamp MEAI/{version} automatically.
- HostedAgentUserAgentPolicy keeps the combined foundry-hosting/agent-framework-dotnet/{version} segment (Python parity) and upgrades the bare segment in place to avoid duplication.
- Tests reorganized: FoundryChatClientTests, AIProjectClientExtensionsTests, AgentFrameworkUserAgentPolicyTests, MeaiAutoUserAgentVerificationTests, plus in-place upgrade unit tests in HostedOutboundUserAgentTests.
* Promote FoundryChatClient to public; add file/vector-store helpers and ToPromptAgentAsync converter
- Promote FoundryChatClient from internal sealed to public sealed for Python parity, so .NET developers can hold and pass a FoundryChatClient directly the way Python developers do.
- Mode 3 (hosted agent endpoint) now materializes an AIProjectClient from the parsed project root, making GetService<AIProjectClient>() non-null across all three construction modes. This eliminates the per-mode asymmetry that previously hid project-level helpers from agents constructed via an agent endpoint URL.
- Add four new instance methods on FoundryChatClient mirroring Python's spec: UploadFileAsync, DeleteFileAsync, CreateVectorStoreAsync (bundles upload + create + wait), DeleteVectorStoreAsync. Single overload each, path-only inputs to start; additional overloads can be added later without breaking callers. All are Experimental, consistent with the rest of the Foundry package.
- Add ToPromptAgentAsync extension methods on ChatClientAgent and FoundryAgent for the agent-to-prompt-agent converter described in the Foundry spec. Mode 1 (responses API) synthesizes a DeclarativeAgentDefinition from the agent's ChatOptions; mode 2 (server-side agent reference, version, or record) returns the cached or freshly fetched Definition; mode 3 throws InvalidOperationException because no local definition exists to convert.
- Strict AITool to ResponseTool mapping for mode 1: AIFunction becomes CreateFunctionTool with the function's JSON schema; AITool instances that wrap a ResponseTool unwrap via GetService(typeof(ResponseTool)); anything else throws InvalidOperationException naming the offending tool type. Matches the Python spec's unsupported-tools-raise-ValueError contract.
- New unit tests: FoundryChatClientVectorStoreTests (22 tests covering all four helpers across the three FoundryChatClient construction modes plus validation and cancellation), FoundryPromptAgentConverterTests (16 tests covering both extension entry points across mode 1 synthesis, mode 2 cached and fetched paths, all failure modes, and a Python-parity guard asserting both extensions produce equivalent definitions for equivalent inputs), plus four new tests in FoundryChatClientTests for the mode 3 AIProjectClient materialization.
* Stop building duplicate ProjectOpenAIClient in FoundryAgent agent-endpoint ctor
After Plan #2's mode-3 AIProjectClient materialization, the inner FoundryChatClient already exposes a project-level AIProjectClient (via GetService) that internally provides the project-level ProjectOpenAIClient via GetProjectOpenAIClient(). FoundryAgent's agent-endpoint constructor was still independently constructing a second project-level ProjectOpenAIClient via the now-redundant CreateProjectLevelOpenAIClientFromAgentEndpoint helper — two handles to the same logical resource.
Refactor: the agent-endpoint constructor now reads the inner FoundryChatClient's materialized AIProjectClient via base.GetService(typeof(AIProjectClient)) and derives the project-level ProjectOpenAIClient from it. The dead helper on both FoundryAgent (private static wrapper) and FoundryChatClient (the actual implementation) is removed. The user-supplied per-agent ClientPipelineOptions primitives (Transport, RetryPolicy, NetworkTimeout, UserAgentApplicationId) are propagated into the materialized AIProjectClientOptions so test-injected transports and explicit retry / timeout / user-agent settings reach the project-level pipeline — preserving the behavior the dead helper used to provide.
Updated AgentEndpointConstructor_GetServiceAIProjectClient_ReturnsNull to its now-correct counterpart AgentEndpointConstructor_GetServiceAIProjectClient_ReturnsNonNull, since after Plan #2 the agent-endpoint ctor surfaces a non-null AIProjectClient (per user direction in Plan #2 Q2).
* Strip duplicated AIProjectClient/ProjectOpenAIClient state from FoundryAgent
Both _aiProjectClient and _projectOpenAIClient fields on FoundryAgent were redundant:
- _aiProjectClient: FoundryAgent's GetService<AIProjectClient> override returned this field, but DelegatingAIAgent.GetService → ChatClientAgent.GetService → FoundryChatClient.GetService<AIProjectClient> already returns the same instance through the delegating chain. Field + override are pure duplication.
- _projectOpenAIClient: only used by FoundryAgent's own GetService<ProjectOpenAIClient> override and by CreateConversationSessionAsync. Per user direction, ProjectOpenAIClient is no longer exposed via GetService on either FoundryChatClient or FoundryAgent — callers retrieve it from the AIProjectClient themselves (aiProjectClient.GetProjectOpenAIClient()) the same way the framework does internally. This eliminates the mode-3 asymmetry where the chat client's stored ProjectOpenAIClient was per-agent (URL /agents/{name}/endpoint/protocols/openai) while the agent's was project-level.
Refactor:
- Delete both fields on FoundryAgent and the GetService override.
- Delete the ProjectOpenAIClient branch from FoundryChatClient.GetService.
- CreateConversationSessionAsync now resolves AIProjectClient at call time via this.GetService<AIProjectClient>() and derives the conversations client from it.
- Update FoundryChatClient tests that asserted on GetService<ProjectOpenAIClient> to assert Null (deliberate removal).
- Update FoundryAgent tests AgentEndpointConstructor_GetServiceProjectOpenAIClient_ReturnsNonNull and ProjectEndpointConstructor_GetServiceProjectOpenAIClient_ReturnsNonNull to ...ReturnsNull, and rewrite AgentEndpointConstructor_PropagatesUserAgentApplicationId_ToProjectLevelClient to look up AIProjectClient instead.
No production code (only tests) referenced GetService<ProjectOpenAIClient>, so this is a safe surface reduction. Net: 30 insertions, 61 deletions; FoundryAgent shrinks to a pure delegator with only the two convenience methods (CreateSessionAsync, CreateConversationSessionAsync) on top of the delegating chain.
* Rename FoundryChatClient.HostedAgentName to AgentName and populate it for mode 2
The previous name implied a mode 3 only property tied to the hosted-agent endpoint URL. Today only hosted endpoints surface this name, but conceptually an agent name exists for every server-side agent the client talks to. Renaming to AgentName makes the property general-purpose and ready for future modes where the same chat client may target other server-side agent shapes that are not necessarily 'hosted'.
Mode 2 (server-side agent reference) now mirrors AgentReference.Name into AgentName so callers have a uniform handle regardless of construction mode:
* Mode 1 (pure responses): AgentName is null. There is no agent.
* Mode 2 (AgentReference): AgentName == AgentReference.Name.
* Mode 3 (agent endpoint URL): AgentName is parsed from the URL segment as before.
Converter discriminator update: FoundryPromptAgentConverter previously used 'HostedAgentName is not null' to detect mode 3 and reject it. Now that mode 2 also populates AgentName, the mode 3 guard moves to the end of the resolution chain and uses the unambiguous 'AgentName is set AND no AgentReference exists' test. The user-visible error message and behavior are preserved.
Dead-state cleanup spotted during format verify:
* IDE0052 surfaced that FoundryChatClient._projectOpenAIClient is never read since the prior refactor stopped exposing ProjectOpenAIClient via GetService and rewired CreateConversationSessionAsync to resolve the AIProjectClient through the delegating chain. The field is deleted and its three ctor assignments removed.
* HostedAgentEndpointInner.PerAgentClient only existed to plumb the per-agent ProjectOpenAIClient into that now-deleted field, so the property and its ctor parameter are removed. The local 'perAgentClient' variable inside BuildHostedAgentEndpointInner is still needed to derive the inner IChatClient, but no longer escapes the helper.
Tests:
* Mode1_PureResponses_ReturnsNullForAgentSpecificServices now also asserts AgentName is null.
* New Mode2_AgentReference_PopulatesAgentNameFromAgentReference asserts the mode 2 mirror.
* Mode3_HostedAgentEndpoint_ParsesAgentNameFromUrl renamed assertion target HostedAgentName to AgentName.
Verification: 335/335 net10.0, 273/273 net472 Foundry unit; 229/229 Foundry.Hosting unit; format-verify (WSL2 + Docker mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:10.0) clean on Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.
* Adopt canonical mode names: Responses Agent, Prompt Agent, Agent Endpoint
Three FoundryChatClient construction modes now have one canonical noun used everywhere.
* Responses Agent (Mode 1): inline ChatClientAgent, project-level Responses API, no server-side def.
* Prompt Agent (Mode 2): server-side ProjectsAgentDefinition invoked by AgentReference.
* Agent Endpoint (Mode 3): per-agent URL /agents/{name}/endpoint/protocols/openai. Hosted-or-not.
'Hosted' stays the kind of agent (Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.Hosting). Not synonym of Mode 3.
Rings:
1. XML docs + error messages use canonical names. en-GB to en-US: centralises, synthesise.
2. HostedAgentEndpointInner -> AgentEndpointInner, BuildHostedAgentEndpointInner -> BuildAgentEndpointInner.
3. Tests: Mode1_PureResponses_* -> Mode1_ResponsesAgent_*, Mode2_AgentReference_* -> Mode2_PromptAgent_*, Mode3_HostedAgentEndpoint_* -> Mode3_AgentEndpoint_*.
Pure rename. No behavior change. 335/335 net10 + 273/273 net472 unit, format clean.

Rebase onto origin/main reconciliation: aad20c2b3 added public AsAIAgent(this AIProjectClient, Uri agentEndpoint, ...) extension that calls an internal FoundryAgent(AIProjectClient, Uri, ...) ctor. Reintroduced that ctor + a new FoundryChatClient(AIProjectClient, Uri, ProjectOpenAIClientOptions?) overload that reuses the supplied AIProjectClient's pipeline (via GetProjectResponsesClientForAgentEndpoint) instead of stamping a fresh credential.

* Add FoundryAgent helper extensions: UploadFile/DeleteFile/CreateVectorStore/DeleteVectorStore
4 thin forwarders on FoundryAgent that route to the inner FoundryChatClient's helpers via agent.GetService<FoundryChatClient>().X(). Live in existing FoundryAgentExtensions.cs alongside ToPromptAgentAsync.
Throws InvalidOperationException when agent does not expose a FoundryChatClient via GetService (same pattern as ToPromptAgentAsync).
Unit tests: FoundryAgentExtensionsTests covers all 4 forwarders + null-agent ArgumentNullException for each. 8 new tests, 354/354 net10 + 292/292 net472.
Integration tests: parallel FoundryAgentExtensionsTests under Foundry.IntegrationTests mirrors the existing CreateAgent_CreatesAgentWithVectorStoresAsync shape (upload -> create vector store -> FileSearch tool answers question -> cleanup), but routes every helper call through the new FoundryAgent extensions. 4 new IT tests, all verified pass live against the real Foundry project (12-30s each). Skipped by default like the existing vector-store IT.
* Address Sergey's PR review comments
#1 (FoundryAgent.cs:139): drop unused aiProjectClient param from internal FoundryAgent(AIProjectClient, ChatClientAgent) ctor. Was discarded after null-check. Inner FoundryChatClient already surfaces AIProjectClient via GetService. 3 call sites in AIProjectClientExtensions updated.
#2 (FoundryChatClient.cs:376): add pollingTimeout param to CreateVectorStoreAsync. Defaults to 5 min, configurable, Timeout.InfiniteTimeSpan disables. Throws TimeoutException with vector store id and elapsed seconds when bound exceeded. CancellationToken still wins. New unit test PollingTimeout_ThrowsTimeoutExceptionAsync. FoundryAgentExtensions forwarder updated to plumb the new param.

* feat(foundry): add experimental hosted tool factories on FoundryChatClient
Adds eight new `@experimental` static factory methods on `FoundryChatClient`
covering Foundry-hosted tools that previously had no helper:
- get_azure_ai_search_tool
- get_sharepoint_tool
- get_fabric_tool
- get_memory_search_tool
- get_computer_use_tool
- get_browser_automation_tool
- get_bing_custom_search_tool
- get_a2a_tool
All factories are marked with the new `ExperimentalFeature.FOUNDRY_TOOLS` tag
and resolve the underlying `azure-ai-projects` preview classes lazily through
a `_require_sdk_class` helper so older SDK versions still import cleanly and
fail with a clear `ImportError` only on use.
Tests cover each factory's return type and field wiring, the experimental
metadata, and the missing-SDK-class fallback.

* test(foundry): address review comments on tool-factory tests
* Skip preview-tool tests gracefully (`_skip_if_sdk_class_missing`) when
the installed `azure-ai-projects` does not expose the required preview
class, matching the lazy-import guard in production code so the test
suite stays green on older SDK installs.
* Add `filterwarnings("ignore::FutureWarning")` to each new tool-factory
test (and the parametrized metadata test) so they remain stable under
strict warning configurations \u2014 the global dedup in
`_feature_stage._WARNED_FEATURES` makes `pytest.warns` brittle across
ordered runs.
* Use `monkeypatch.setattr(..., None, raising=False)` instead of
`delattr` in the missing-SDK-class test so it works for modules that
implement PEP 562 `__getattr__`.
* Split the long `get_bing_custom_search_tool` return into two lines for
readability.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix(foundry): harden tool-factory kwargs against silent override
* Reorder the dict-literal kwargs assembly in get_azure_ai_search_tool,
get_memory_search_tool, and get_bing_custom_search_tool so explicit
parameters always take precedence over **kwargs (matching the safe
pattern already used in get_a2a_tool). This prevents a caller
passing `project_connection_id`, `index_name`, `memory_store_name`,
`scope`, or `instance_name` through `**kwargs` from silently
overriding the explicit security-sensitive arguments.
* Update the README experimental note to reflect once-per-feature-id
dedup semantics of `_feature_stage._WARNED_FEATURES` rather than
claiming a per-factory "first use" warning.

* feat(foundry): split FOUNDRY_TOOLS / FOUNDRY_PREVIEW_TOOLS, add bing-grounding
- Add ExperimentalFeature.FOUNDRY_PREVIEW_TOOLS to distinguish wrappers around
preview Foundry SDK tool classes (Sharepoint/Fabric/Memory/ComputerUse/
BrowserAutomation/BingCustomSearch/A2A) from FOUNDRY_TOOLS, which is for
GA-SDK wrappers that are simply new in agent-framework-foundry
(AzureAISearch, BingGrounding).
- Add get_bing_grounding_tool factory and a 'Choosing a web grounding tool'
comparison block on get_web_search_tool / get_bing_grounding_tool /
get_bing_custom_search_tool docstrings.
- Drop the _require_sdk_class lazy resolver: every guarded class is available
at azure-ai-projects>=2.1.0 (the package floor), so import them eagerly.
Concrete return types replace 'Any'.
- README: split the experimental factories into two tables, one per feature
flag, with a note explaining the distinction.
- Tests: split into FOUNDRY_TOOLS / FOUNDRY_PREVIEW_TOOLS factory cases;
drop the obsolete missing-SDK-class ImportError test.

* Show more authentication methods in Foundry Toolbox MCP
* Remove hardcoded toolbox version num
* Add Foundry MCP OAuth consent handling
* Use message instead of the dedicated item type
* Go back to using OAuthConsentRequestOutputItem
* WIP: sample testing
* Update error code
* Address review on Foundry Toolbox MCP samples
Reviewed feedback addressed:
- Drop the branch-pinned `git+https://...@feature/...` entries from
`04_foundry_toolbox/requirements.txt`; restore the simple comment + `mcp`
runtime dep. The git pins were only useful while iterating on the PR and
shouldn't ship. (eavanvalkenburg)
- Fix the `/toolsets/` typo in both `04_foundry_toolbox/README.md` and
`06_files/README.md`. Verified empirically against the
research_toolbox in the test workspace: the toolbox MCP gateway lives at
`/toolboxes/{name}/mcp?api-version=v1` and requires the
`Foundry-Features: Toolboxes=V1Preview` header. `/toolsets/{name}/mcp`
returns 403 with `preview_feature_required: Toolsets=V1Preview` (a
different opt-in feature).
- Wrap `httpx.AsyncClient(...)` in `async with ... as http_client:` in both
samples so the connection pool is cleaned up. (Copilot reviewer)
- Make the `TOOLBOX_NAME` env var consistent in both samples. Previously the
tool name silently fell back to `"toolbox"` when `TOOLBOX_NAME` was unset,
but `resolve_toolbox_endpoint()` still required `TOOLBOX_NAME` and would
raise `KeyError`. The samples now resolve the endpoint once and derive the
tool name from the resolved URL when `TOOLBOX_NAME` isn't set, so the
local tool name always matches the upstream toolbox identity regardless
of which env var the user set. (Copilot reviewer)
- Rename `_responses.is_consent_error` to `consent_url_from_error`: the
helper returns `str | None` (the consent URL), not a bool, so the new
name matches behavior. Update the test class accordingly. (eavanvalkenburg)
- Tighten `_handle_inner_agent`'s lazy-entry catch from `Exception` to
`AgentFrameworkException`, the type the MCP layer actually wraps consent
errors in via `MCPStreamableHTTPTool.__aenter__` →
`ToolExecutionException(inner_exception=mcp_error)`. Network failures,
cancellations, and other non-framework exceptions now propagate normally
instead of being briefly caught and re-raised. The test helper
`_make_consent_error` is updated to use `ToolExecutionException` so it
matches the real-world wrapping. (eavanvalkenburg)
- Clarify the `github_pat` description in `agent.manifest.yaml` to note
it's only needed when the PAT-based connection (`github-mcp-pat-conn`)
is chosen; users selecting the OAuth2 connection (`github-mcp-oauth-conn`)
can leave it empty. (Copilot reviewer)
Validation: ran both samples end-to-end against a real Foundry toolbox
(`research_toolbox`) -- the samples connect successfully and the agent
lists the toolbox's MCP tools (`api_specs___fetch_azure_rest_api_docs`,
etc.). `uv run poe test -P foundry_hosting` passes (119 tests), pyright +
mypy clean.

The previous URL pointed to an old location of the toolbox supported-scenarios
doc; the doc moved to /samples/python/hosted-agents/SUPPORTED_TOOLBOX_SCENARIOS.md

* Enable instrumentation by default
* Update samples
* Optimization when span is not recording
* Address Copilot comments
* Revert uv.lock
* Add warning
* Formatting
* Fix mypy
* Add disable_instrumentation() with sticky user-intent semantics
Add a public disable_instrumentation() entry point so users can explicitly opt
out of Agent Framework telemetry, with a sticky-disable flag that makes the
user's intent "leading" — no framework code path (foundry's
configure_azure_monitor, configure_otel_providers, enable_instrumentation,
enable_sensitive_telemetry, or direct OBSERVABILITY_SETTINGS.enable_*
writes) can re-enable instrumentation until the user explicitly clears the
disable with enable_instrumentation(force=True) /
enable_sensitive_telemetry(force=True).
Also addresses the two remaining unresolved review threads on the PR:
1. test_observability_settings_defaults_instrumentation_true pins the new
"ENABLE_INSTRUMENTATION defaults to True when env unset" behavior.
2. test_enable_instrumentation_reads_env_sensitive_data restores coverage
for the post-import load_dotenv() fallback path.
Implementation:
- ObservabilitySettings.enable_instrumentation / enable_sensitive_data become
properties backed by _enable_*. While _user_disabled is True, the getters
return False and the setters drop True writes (defense in depth so third-
party writes can't subvert the disable).
- Public is_user_disabled read-only property lets integrations (e.g. foundry's
configure_azure_monitor) cheaply check the disable state without poking at
privates.
- enable_instrumentation() and enable_sensitive_telemetry() short-circuit with
an info log when disabled; gain a force=True kwarg that clears the disable.
- configure_otel_providers() still creates providers / exporters / views so a
later force-enable can use them, but logs an info message when called while
disabled.
- Foundry's FoundryChatClient.configure_azure_monitor and
FoundryAgent.configure_azure_monitor early-return when the user has
disabled, so Azure Monitor's global providers aren't installed unnecessarily.
Tests: 11 new tests covering default-on, env re-read at call time, sticky
behavior against each re-enable surface (enable_instrumentation,
enable_sensitive_telemetry, configure_otel_providers, direct attribute
writes), force=True override, re-arming the disable, and the __all__ export.

* docs: document disable_instrumentation() and force=True paths
Add a "Disabling instrumentation" section to the observability sample README
that walks through:
- The distinction between the ENABLE_INSTRUMENTATION env var (initial,
non-sticky) and disable_instrumentation() (process-wide, sticky).
- Why the sticky semantics matter: framework integrations like
FoundryChatClient.configure_azure_monitor() can call
enable_instrumentation() as part of their setup, and the user's opt-out
needs to win.
- All five surfaces guarded by the sticky disable (property reads, public
enable functions, configure_otel_providers, direct attribute writes,
is_user_disabled-aware integrations).
- The force=True escape hatch on both enable_instrumentation() and
enable_sensitive_telemetry().
- How third-party integrations should consult OBSERVABILITY_SETTINGS.is_user_disabled.
- The limits of the disable (does not tear down existing providers /
in-flight spans / third-party instrumentation, does not persist across
processes).
Cross-links the new section from the ENABLE_INSTRUMENTATION row in the env
vars table.

* docs: soften disable_instrumentation() overclaim about telemetry guarantees
Replace 'no telemetry will be emitted no matter what' (which is too strong,
since callers can still pass force=True or mutate private attributes) with
language framing the disable as a user-intent contract that library and
framework code is expected to honor: the framework actively short-circuits
the public enable paths, force=True and private-attribute writes are
acknowledged as out-of-contract escape hatches that integrations should
not use on the user's behalf.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* docs: correct observability Dependencies section
- opentelemetry-sdk is no longer a hard dependency; it is lazily imported by
create_resource(), create_metric_views(), and configure_otel_providers()
with a clear ImportError when missing. Day-to-day instrumentation works
with opentelemetry-api alone provided some other component configures the
global OpenTelemetry providers (Azure Monitor, an APM agent, application
bootstrap, etc.).
- opentelemetry-semantic-conventions-ai is no longer used anywhere in the
source; remove it from the listed dependencies.

* docs: replace stale observability migration guide with current PR's only relevant migration
The old guide documented the move away from setup_observability(otlp_endpoint=...)
which was an earlier-release API change unrelated to this PR and stale enough that
it's more confusing than helpful at this point. Replace it with a short note on the
single migration this PR introduces: callers of
enable_instrumentation(enable_sensitive_data=True) should switch to
enable_sensitive_telemetry(). Cross-link to the Disabling instrumentation section
for the rare 'force on without enabling sensitive data' use case where
enable_instrumentation() still applies.

* .NET: Add A2AAgentOptions and align A2AAgent constructors with ChatClientAgent pattern
Adds a new A2AAgentOptions class (Id, Name, Description, Clone) and an options-based constructor on A2AAgent, mirroring ChatClientAgent/ChatClientAgentOptions. The existing parameter-based constructor is preserved for backward compatibility and now delegates to the options-based one.
Extension methods are extended with options-based overloads:
- A2AClientExtensions.AsAIAgent(IA2AClient, A2AAgentOptions, ...)
- A2AAgentCardExtensions.AsAIAgent(AgentCard, A2AAgentOptions, ...)
- A2ACardResolverExtensions.GetAIAgentAsync(A2ACardResolver, A2AAgentOptions, ...)
For card-based creation, user-supplied options override values from the agent card; Name and Description fall back to card values when not set.
Options are cloned when stored on the agent to prevent post-construction mutation, matching the ChatClientAgent pattern.
Resolves#5870.

* Python: feat: add agent-framework-monty (Monty-backed CodeAct)
New alpha package that wraps pydantic-monty (a Rust-based Python
interpreter) behind the same CodeAct API surface as
agent-framework-hyperlight, so users can swap providers with minimal
code change.
Public API (agent_framework_monty):
- MontyCodeActProvider — ContextProvider that injects a run-scoped
execute_code tool plus dynamic CodeAct instructions.
- MontyExecuteCodeTool — standalone FunctionTool for mixed-tool agents
or manual static wiring.
- FileMount / FileMountInput / MountMode — public types mirroring the
Hyperlight names, with Monty's mode (read-only/read-write/overlay)
and write_bytes_limit on FileMount.
Constructor kwargs (both classes) mirror Hyperlight where possible:
tools, approval_mode, workspace_root, file_mounts; plus a Monty-only
resource_limits forwarding ResourceLimits to Monty.start().
Filesystem flow:
- workspace_root auto-mounts at /input (read-write), matching Hyperlight.
- file_mounts accepts string shorthand, (host, mount) tuple, or
FileMount with mode + write cap.
- Files written under read-write mounts are scanned post-execution and
returned as Content.from_data items (mirrors Hyperlight /output).
- overlay mounts buffer writes in-memory; read-only mounts reject writes.
Internals:
- _monty_bridge.InlineCodeBridge ports the inline (non-durable) bridge
from anthonychu/maf-codeact-monty-python; handles FunctionSnapshot /
FutureSnapshot pause/resume, dispatches direct typed calls + the
call_tool fallback, forwards mount/limits to Monty.start(...).
- generate_type_stubs emits per-tool stubs so Monty's `ty` type-checker
rejects bad calls before any host tool runs.
Alpha-policy compliance (per python-package-management skill):
- Added agent-framework-monty = { workspace = true } to root
pyproject.toml.
- Added row to python/PACKAGE_STATUS.md.
- Added monty entry under Experimental in python/AGENTS.md.
- NOT added to core[all]; NO agent_framework.monty lazy shim (deferred
to beta promotion).
Samples (three sets, import from agent_framework_monty directly):
- samples/02-agents/context_providers/code_act/monty_code_act.py
(provider pattern) + updated local README.
- samples/02-agents/tools/monty_code_interpreter/ (standalone +
manual-wiring + README).
- samples/04-hosting/foundry-hosted-agents/responses/11_monty_codeact/
(full hosted-agent layout with uv-based pyproject.toml + Dockerfile,
Azure Monitor wiring via APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING +
enable_instrumentation, ENABLE_INSTRUMENTATION and
ENABLE_SENSITIVE_DATA env vars). The alpha wheel is vendored into
./wheels/ (gitignored) via vendor-wheel.sh; new row added to the
parent Responses-API README.
Tests:
- 28 hermetic unit tests (stubbed pydantic_monty).
- 18 integration tests marked @pytest.mark.integration, auto-skipped
when pydantic_monty is unimportable; exercise the real Monty
runtime: print round-trip, last-expression value, direct typed
tool dispatch, call_tool fallback, async tool, asyncio.gather
parallelism, ty type-check rejection, OS blocked by default,
workspace_root read+write capture, read-only / overlay mount
semantics, resource_limits.max_duration_secs abort, approval
gating end-to-end, full Agent run with a scripted chat client.

* Python: fix: monty FileMount test compares against the normalized POSIX path
The shorthand string mount goes through _normalize_mount_path, which
rewrites Windows drive letters like 'C:\\Users\\...' into
'/C:/Users/...' (POSIX-style). The Windows CI runners surfaced this
because tmp_path resolves to a backslashed Windows path; the test was
comparing against the raw str(host_a) instead of the normalized form.
Compare against _normalize_mount_path(str(host_a)) so the assertion is
platform-independent.

* Python: fix: address PR #5915 review feedback
- _execute_code_tool docstring: clarify that the Monty backend supports
scoped filesystem access via workspace_root / file_mounts (blocked by
default).
- _to_monty_mount: import pydantic_monty lazily through load_monty so
missing-dependency errors surface as the same actionable RuntimeError
the rest of the package raises (not a bare ImportError at module load).
Renamed _load_monty -> load_monty for the same reason.
- _python_type_repr: emit None for type(None) instead of Any, and
normalize both typing.Union[...] and PEP-604 X | Y to PEP-604 syntax
so Optional[X] / Union[..., None] / -> None signatures round-trip
correctly through ty validation. Added a regression test.
- _PrintCollector: track a running character count instead of
recomputing sum(len(c) for c in self.chunks) per callback. Eliminates
the O(n^2) cost on print-heavy code.
- Instructions: mention that the value of the final expression is also
returned alongside captured stdout (matches actual behavior).
- 11_monty_codeact Dockerfile: pin ghcr.io/astral-sh/uv to 0.11.6
instead of :latest for reproducible builds.
- 11_monty_codeact README: replace the bare "see parent README" pointer
with sample-specific steps (./vendor-wheel.sh + uv sync + uv run),
since the sample uses pyproject.toml + a vendored wheel rather than
requirements.txt.

* Python: sample: 11_monty_codeact installs agent-framework-monty from PyPI
Drop the vendored-wheel scaffolding now that agent-framework-monty is on
PyPI as an alpha (1.0.0a*) release:
- pyproject.toml: remove [tool.uv.sources] override; keep [tool.uv]
prerelease = "allow" so uv pulls the alpha automatically.
- Dockerfile: drop the COPY wheels/ step.
- README: drop the ./vendor-wheel.sh setup step and the
not-yet-on-PyPI warning.
- Delete vendor-wheel.sh and the gitignored wheels/ directory.

* Python: fix(monty): harden post-execution file capture against symlink escape
Same class of issue as the MSRC-reported Hyperlight finding: the
post-execution capture walked workspace_root with Path.rglob() +
is_file() + read_bytes() - all of which follow symlinks. An attacker
who controls the workspace (cloned repo, extracted archive, shared
workspace) could pre-place `workspace/leak.txt -> /etc/passwd` or
`workspace/outside_dir -> /etc/` and have host files surface as
captured Content items.
Monty's mount layer already rejects symlink reads from inside the
sandbox across all three modes (verified empirically), so the runtime
path was safe. This commit closes the post-execution scan path.
Changes:
- New `_iter_real_files(root)` walker that uses iterdir() +
is_symlink() to skip symlinks at every directory level and yields
only real files. Replaces the previous `host_root.rglob("*")` calls
in both `_snapshot_writable_mounts` and `_capture_written_files`.
- Use `Path.lstat()` instead of `Path.stat()` so size/mtime can never
be taken from a symlink target.
- Three new integration tests reproducing the MSRC attack shape
against the workspace_root flow: symlink-to-file outside workspace,
symlink-to-directory outside workspace, and a guard ensuring
legitimate sandbox writes are still captured when symlinks are
present.
Per user request, hyperlight is untouched in this commit (separate fix).

* Python: fix(monty): skip symlink regression tests when unsupported
Apply the same Windows-CI safety guard as the hyperlight fix in PR #5919:
the three symlink integration tests create symlinks via Path.symlink_to(),
which fails with OSError / NotImplementedError on unprivileged Windows
runners. Add a local _symlinks_supported helper (mirroring the one in
packages/core/tests/core/test_skills.py) and pytest.skip when symlinks
aren't available, so the tests no longer fail for environment reasons.

* Python: fix(monty): address PR #5915 follow-up review feedback
- _invoke_tool: drop the inspect.iscoroutinefunction(...) branch and
always `await self.tool_map[name](**kwargs)`. Every entry in
tool_map is `partial(FunctionTool.invoke, skip_parsing=True)` and
FunctionTool.invoke is `async def`, so the branching was dead code -
and on Python versions affected by cpython#98590,
iscoroutinefunction(partial(bound_async_method, ...)) returns False,
causing the bridge to take the asyncio.to_thread path, return an
unawaited coroutine, and surface it as a JSON-serialization failure
for every tool call. Added a regression test
test_invoke_tool_awaits_partial_wrapped_async_method.
- generate_type_stubs: skip tools whose name is not a valid Python
identifier or is a Python keyword. FunctionTool.name has no upstream
validation, so a name like "weird-name" produced a syntax error in
the stubs and a name like "broken\n pass\nasync def injected"
would inject arbitrary stub source. Non-identifier names stay
reachable via `call_tool("weird-name", ...)` at runtime; they just
don't get type-checked stubs. Added regression test
test_generate_type_stubs_skips_non_identifier_tool_names.

* Bump Python package versions to 1.5.0 for a release
* Promote orchestrations to 1.0.0rc1
* ci(python-setup): merge dynamic exclude into existing workspace exclude
The python-setup action injected exclude = [...] verbatim into
[tool.uv.workspace], producing a duplicate 'exclude' key when the
section already had a static exclude. Scope the rewrite to the
[tool.uv.workspace] section and append the package to the existing
array when present; idempotent if the package is already excluded.
* Address Copilot review feedback: raise inter-package floors to 1.5.0
- foundry, foundry-local: agent-framework-openai >=1.4.0 -> >=1.5.0
- azure-contentunderstanding: agent-framework-foundry >=1.4.0 -> >=1.5.0
- azurefunctions: pin agent-framework-durabletask to >=1.0.0b260519,<2
Keeps lockstep cohort consistent and avoids mixed 1.4.x / 1.5.0 installs.
* Re-include azurefunctions and durabletask in the uv workspace
The pinned durabletask>=1.4.0 floor is enough to make resolution succeed;
the workspace exclude was over-correction and broke CI samples and pyright
type-checking (re-exports in agent_framework/azure/__init__.pyi plus
samples/04-hosting/{azure_functions,durabletask}/ could not resolve their
imports). Dropping them from agent-framework-core[all] still stands so the
metapackage does not pull them.
* Restore azurefunctions and durabletask in agent-framework-core[all]
The durabletask floor pin keeps users on the safe 1.4.0, so they are once
again included in the metapackage. Update CHANGELOG to reflect the pin
rather than an [all] removal.
* Raise uvicorn ceiling in ag-ui and devui to allow 0.42+
The root override-dependencies pins uvicorn[standard]>=0.34.0 (no upper)
and the workspace lock resolves to 0.47.0. The package ceiling <0.42.0
meant the workspace was no longer testing the declared supported range.
Bump to <1 so the lock fits within the declared bounds.
Also picked up by validate-dependency-bounds: refresh stale orchestrations
RC pin in devui dev deps.
The shared composite action ran `uv sync --all-packages --all-extras
--dev -U` on every job, which upgrades every dependency to the latest
compatible version instead of using the pinned versions in `uv.lock`.
That is currently producing a hard resolver failure on every CI job:
No solution found when resolving dependencies for split
(markers: python_full_version >= '3.11' and sys_platform == 'darwin')
Because there are no versions of durabletask and
agent-framework-durabletask depends on durabletask>=1.3.0,<2,
we can conclude that agent-framework-durabletask's requirements
are unsatisfiable.
Dropping `-U` makes the install use the workspace lockfile, which is
what is reproducible locally and what we publish releases against.
Upgrades should be opt-in (via a scheduled job or a separate workflow)
rather than implicit on every CI run.

* Use nuget for python module path
* Update readme.
* Fix formatting.
* Reduce flashing in rendering.
* Improve screen clearing for Powershell
* Add a couple of small UX fixes
The second self._cache.pop(key, None) call is a guaranteed no-op: the first pop has already removed the key (or returned None), and there is no await between the two statements that could allow another coroutine to re-add it. Removing the dead line clarifies intent without changing behavior.
* Python: fix(hyperlight): skip symlinks when staging files into the sandbox
The helpers that populate the sandbox input tree (``_copy_path`` and the
``_path_tree_signature`` walker used for cache invalidation) relied on
``Path.is_file()``, ``Path.is_dir()`` and ``shutil.copy2`` - all of which
follow symlinks by default. When the source tree contains symlinks, that
let entries from outside the configured input source surface inside the
sandbox.
Harden both code paths to never follow symlinks:
- ``_copy_path`` now bails out via ``Path.is_symlink()`` before any
``is_dir()`` / ``is_file()`` check, skips non-regular files, and uses
``shutil.copy2(..., follow_symlinks=False)`` as defense in depth.
- New ``_iter_real_entries`` walker replaces the previous ``Path.rglob``
call inside ``_path_tree_signature`` (rglob follows directory symlinks).
- ``_path_tree_signature`` switches to ``Path.lstat()`` so size/mtime are
never read through a symlink target.
Added regression tests covering:
- A pre-placed file symlink in ``workspace_root`` (top level).
- A pre-placed directory symlink in ``workspace_root``.
- A nested file symlink inside a real subdirectory.
- ``_path_tree_signature`` ignoring symlinks so the cache key reflects only
what is actually staged.

* Python: fix(hyperlight): address PR #5919 review feedback
- _iter_real_entries now yields directories and regular files only,
skipping non-regular entries (sockets/FIFOs/devices). Keeps the
cache-key signature consistent with what _copy_path actually stages.
- The four new symlink regression tests skip when the platform does not
support symlink creation (e.g. unprivileged Windows runners), via a
local _symlinks_supported helper modelled on the one in
packages/core/tests/core/test_skills.py. Prevents OSError /
NotImplementedError from failing CI jobs that have nothing to do with
the change under test.

* Python: fix(hyperlight): address PR #5919 follow-up review feedback
- _copy_path docstring: narrow the scope to "symlink entries present in
the source tree at rest" and explicitly call out that the copy is NOT
atomic with respect to concurrent mutation of the source tree.
Callers who need that stronger guarantee should snapshot their
workspace before passing it in. Avoids overpromising on a TOCTOU
window that pathlib cannot express; closing it properly would need
fd-based traversal (O_NOFOLLOW | O_DIRECTORY + os.scandir(fd)) with
a separate Windows story, which is out of scope for this targeted
fix.
- _path_tree_signature: drop the `if path.is_symlink(): return ()`
short-circuit. Resolve a symlink root to its real target before
walking instead. The public construction flow already resolves
workspace_root / file_mounts[].host_path up front so this never
affected user-facing code, but the short-circuit was misleading and
would have produced an empty, stable signature for any direct
caller that builds a _RunConfig without going through the public
constructor. Defense in depth: even if a future call site forgets
to resolve the root, the cache key still reflects real contents.
- Added regression test
test_path_tree_signature_walks_through_symlinked_root: a symlinked
workspace root must produce a non-empty signature, AND the signature
must change when the real target's contents change so the cache key
actually invalidates.

* Record actual served model as response model for Azure OpenAI
* Formatting
* Fix tests
* Fix pipeline error
* Comments
* Address review: surface served model via ChatResponse.model
Apply blocking review feedback from PR #5910:
- Use ChatResponse.model / ChatResponseUpdate.model as the source of truth
for the Azure x-ms-served-model header value, instead of stashing it in
additional_properties and overriding it again in observability.
Observability already reads response.model; the chat client now overwrites
it post-parse when the served-model header is present. Empirically the
Azure Responses API returns the deployment alias in body.model and the
actual snapshot (e.g. gpt-5-nano-2025-08-07) in this header.
- Move the AZURE_OPENAI_SERVED_MODEL_HEADER constant out of observability.py
and into RawOpenAIChatClient (as the SERVED_MODEL_HEADER ClassVar). The
header is Azure-OpenAI-Responses-API-specific so observability does not
need to know about it.
- Revert the streaming text_format path to client.responses.stream(...) and
drop the _pydantic_model_to_text_format_param helper. That helper imported
from openai.lib._parsing._responses (a private SDK path) and the swap to
responses.create(stream=True) dropped client-side output_parsed for
structured-output streaming. The streaming-with-text_format path is the
only one that does not surface the served-model header - documented inline.
- Wrap the raw streaming responses in async with so the underlying socket
closes deterministically (continuation_token retrieve + create paths).
- Fix the empty-string / whitespace-only header at the source by stripping
in _extract_served_model and returning None when nothing remains.
- Revert unrelated formatting-only churn in _skills.py and test_mcp.py.
- Update unit tests to assert against chat_response.model / update.model
and add an aggregated streaming assertion plus a pin that the
streaming-with-text_format path does not get the header.
Verified end-to-end against Azure OpenAI Responses API: deployment alias
gpt-5-nano now reports gpt-5-nano-2025-08-07 as ChatResponse.model in both
the non-streaming and streaming paths.

* Inline the served-model header override at its two call sites
The `_apply_served_model_header` helper was a 1-line wrapper around
`_extract_served_model`. Inlining the `if served_model is not None: ...`
matches the pattern already used in the streaming paths and folds the
explanatory docstring onto `_extract_served_model` (which is now the
single place that knows about the header).

* Improve the handling of intermediate outputs for workflows and orchestrations
* Address PR review feedback on intermediate output forwarding
- Switch workflow.as_agent() forwarding to an explicit allowlist of {output,
intermediate, data, request_info} so orchestration-internal events
(group_chat, handoff_sent, magentic_orchestrator) stay inside the workflow
instead of leaking into agent responses via str(data) coercion.
- Stop raising on intermediate AgentResponseUpdate in non-streaming run();
surface the partial as a Message with text_reasoning content. The defensive
raise still applies to terminal output events, where Update payloads would
corrupt message ordering.
- Extend the DevUI workflow-event mapper so intermediate yields wrapping
plain strings, Messages, and list[Message] render as visible output items
instead of generic completed-trace events.
- Add orchestration coverage for GroupChat, Handoff, and Magentic builders
(default vs intermediate_outputs=True; structural where end-to-end is heavy).
* Lift output-designation policy into a value type
Replace the ``Workflow._output_executors`` list and the
``RunnerContext.should_label_as_intermediate`` Protocol method with a single
immutable ``OutputDesignation`` value type owned by ``Workflow``. Thread the
designation as a parameter through the existing call chain (Runner ->
EdgeRunner -> Executor -> WorkflowContext) so ``yield_output`` consults the
threaded snapshot directly rather than calling back into the runner context.
Removes the ``InProcRunnerContext._workflow`` back-reference and the
``WorkflowBuilder.build()`` assignment that wired it up. Adds the public
predicate ``Workflow.is_terminal_executor(executor_id)`` for external
observers; ``OutputDesignation`` itself stays package-internal.
Key decisions
- ``OutputDesignation.designated`` is ``frozenset[str] | None`` -- ``None``
preserves legacy "every yield is type='output'" behavior, any frozenset
(including empty) opts into strict mode. The ``DeprecationWarning`` for
legacy mode at build time is unchanged.
- ``output_designation`` is an optional parameter on ``Runner``,
``EdgeRunner.send_message``, ``EdgeRunner._execute_on_target``,
``Executor.execute``, ``Executor._create_context_for_handler``, and
``WorkflowContext.__init__``. Each defaults to legacy ``OutputDesignation()``
so direct callers (Azure Functions ``CapturingRunnerContext``,
``test_runner`` recording fixtures) keep working without ceremony.
- The workflow-level filter in ``_run_core`` reads ``self._output_designation``
live, preserving today's semantics where mutating the designation after
build still affects subsequent runs (used by two existing tests).
- ``Workflow.to_dict()`` continues to emit ``"output_executors":
list[str] | None`` (sorted from the frozenset). Checkpoint format unchanged.
Files changed
- _workflow.py: add ``OutputDesignation`` dataclass; replace
``_output_executors`` with ``_output_designation``; add
``is_terminal_executor``; delete ``_should_yield_output_event``.
- _runner_context.py: drop ``should_label_as_intermediate`` Protocol method
and ``InProcRunnerContext`` impl; drop ``_workflow`` back-reference.
- _workflow_builder.py: remove ``context._workflow = workflow`` assignment.
- _runner.py, _edge_runner.py, _executor.py, _workflow_context.py: thread
``output_designation`` parameter through the call chain.
- tests/workflow/test_output_designation.py (new): three-state coverage of
the value type plus the public predicate delegation.
- tests/workflow/test_workflow_builder.py, test_validation.py,
test_workflow.py, test_runner.py and
orchestrations/tests/test_orchestration_intermediate_vs_terminal.py:
switch probes from ``_output_executors`` set checks to
``get_output_executors`` / ``is_terminal_executor``; update two
post-build mutation tests to set ``_output_designation`` instead.
Verification
- core/tests/workflow/, orchestrations/tests/, azurefunctions/tests/:
1119 passed, 42 skipped, 2 xfailed.
- ``uv run poe lint``: clean.
- ``uv run poe typing``: only the pre-existing
``_AGENT_FORWARDED_EVENT_TYPES`` pyright warning from 394bcd607 remains.
Notes for next iteration
- The builder's own ``_output_executors`` attribute (``list[Executor |
SupportsAgentRun]``) is intentionally untouched; the issue scoped the
rename to the workflow attribute.
- Adjacent review candidates (twin ``WorkflowAgent`` translators,
``_AGENT_FORWARDED_EVENT_TYPES`` kind classifier,
``_event_origin_context`` ContextVar removal, ``WorkflowEvent`` ADT
split, legacy-mode removal) remain out of scope.
* Add explicit workflow output designation
Key decisions
- Extend the internal OutputDesignation value type from terminal-only membership to output/intermediate/hidden classification. Legacy mode remains outputs=None, so workflows built without output_executors or intermediate_executors still label every yield_output as type='output'.
- WorkflowBuilder now accepts intermediate_executors. Providing either designation enters explicit mode; output executors emit output, intermediate executors emit intermediate, and unlisted yield_output payloads are hidden from caller-facing events while remaining in executor_completed data.
- Empty explicit designation, duplicate entries, overlaps, unknown executors, and designated executors without workflow output annotations fail build validation. Existing orchestration builders pass intermediate-capable participants through intermediate_executors to preserve current intermediate_outputs behavior until participant-oriented designation lands.

* Tighten workflow-as-agent output mapping
Key decisions
- Treat AgentResponseUpdate as a streaming-only payload across the workflow.as_agent() adapter, so non-streaming agent runs now reject both terminal output and intermediate workflow events carrying updates.
- Keep streaming classification behavior explicit: terminal update payloads remain normal text content, while intermediate update payloads are rewritten to text_reasoning content.
- Add explicit-mode coverage proving hidden yield_output emissions do not appear in non-streaming AgentResponse messages or streaming AgentResponseUpdate chunks.

* Fix mypy
* Clarify orchestration participant output config
* Rename participant output kwargs for clarity
output_participants -> final_output_from, intermediate_participants ->
intermediate_output_from. The old names read like categories of
participant; the new names make it clear the kwarg designates which
participants' outputs surface as final vs. intermediate events.
* Rename core workflow output kwargs with deprecation shim
Adds final_output_from / intermediate_output_from as canonical kwargs on
Workflow and WorkflowBuilder. Old output_executors / intermediate_executors
kwargs continue to work but emit DeprecationWarning via a shared coalesce
helper that also rejects supplying both. Wire-format keys in to_dict()
stay as output_executors / intermediate_executors so checkpoint
compatibility is preserved.
Internal call sites in orchestrations and samples updated to the new
names so users following sample code learn the canonical vocabulary;
legacy callers still work with a one-shot warning.
* Suppress pyright reportPrivateUsage on cross-module sentinel import
* Update docstrings
* Propagate sub-workflow intermediate outputs, fix handoff/sequential intermediate-only designation, and shore up tests, sample, and docstrings around the intermediate output contract.

Key decisions:\n- Make output_from the canonical workflow-output allow-list and keep output_executors/final_output_from as deprecated compatibility aliases.\n- Treat empty output_from/intermediate_output_from lists as explicit selections and keep validation responsible for empty, duplicate, overlap, and unknown selections.\n- Remove the branch-only public intermediate_executors WorkflowBuilder kwarg while preserving legacy wire keys in to_dict().\n\nFiles changed:\n- packages/core/agent_framework/_workflows/_workflow.py\n- packages/core/agent_framework/_workflows/_workflow_builder.py\n- packages/core/agent_framework/_workflows/_workflow_context.py\n- packages/core/agent_framework/_workflows/_agent.py\n- packages/core/agent_framework/_workflows/_agent_executor.py\n- packages/core/tests/workflow/* output-selection coverage updates\n- packages/core/AGENTS.md\n- issues/done/001-canonical-list-based-output-selection.md\n\nBlockers/notes:\n- Orchestration builders still pass final_output_from internally; follow-up issue 004 should migrate them to output_from.\n- Legacy omitted-selection behavior and explicit all/all_other literals are left for issues 002 and 003.
* Add explicit all workflow output selection
Key decisions:
- Treat output_from='all' as an explicit workflow-output selection sentinel and expand it at build time to executors with declared workflow output types.
- Keep omitted output selections in legacy all-output mode with a deprecation warning that names output_from and intermediate_output_from and points to output_from='all'.
- Reject intermediate_output_from='all' at construction because the all-output literal is output-only for this issue.

Blockers/notes:
- all_other intermediate-output selection remains for issue 003.
- Workflow-as-agent/orchestration parity remains for issue 004.
* Add all-other intermediate output selection
Key decisions:
- Treat intermediate_output_from='all_other' as an explicit intermediate-output selection sentinel and expand it at build time after the workflow graph is complete.
- Expand all_other to output-capable executors not selected by output_from; omitted or empty output_from selects no workflow outputs, while output_from='all' leaves an empty intermediate selection.
- Keep output_from='all_other' invalid so all_other remains intermediate-output-only and runtime classification still receives concrete executor-id sets.

* Add orchestration output selection parity
Key decisions:
- Expose output_from on sequential, concurrent, group chat, handoff, and magentic builders while keeping final_output_from as a deprecated compatibility alias.
- Resolve orchestration participant selections through the same explicit rules as workflows: output_from='all', intermediate_output_from='all_other', hidden unselected participant payloads, and overlap/duplicate/unknown/invalid-literal validation.
- Continue preserving documented orchestration defaults by always designating each pattern's terminal internal executor where applicable.

* Document workflow output selection contract
Key decisions:
- Use Workflow Output and Intermediate Output as the developer-facing terms for selected caller-facing emissions.
- Document output_from and intermediate_output_from as the canonical API, with output_from as an allow-list and unselected payloads hidden unless explicitly selected as intermediate.
- Add scenario and invalid-selection tables for workflow and orchestration docs, including legacy omission warnings, output_from='all', intermediate_output_from='all_other', list selections, invalid literals, overlap, duplicates, unknown selections, and empty explicit selections.
- Migrate samples away from final_output_from and output_executors except where compatibility aliases are explicitly documented.

* .NET: Bump Azure.AI.Projects to 2.1.0-beta.2 and add agent-endpoint AsAIAgent path
Bumps Azure.AI.Projects to 2.1.0-beta.2 with the matching transitive pins (Azure.Core 1.55.0, System.ClientModel 1.11.0).
Foundry agent endpoint plumbing:
* FoundryAgent now routes the agent-endpoint constructor through the new GetProjectResponsesClientForAgentEndpoint helper.
* Adds an internal FoundryAgent ctor that takes an existing AIProjectClient plus a parsed agent endpoint so the public extension does not need to construct a second project client.
* Adds public AIProjectClient.AsAIAgent(Uri agentEndpoint, ...) extension. This is the path consumer samples are expected to use for hosted agents because version selection happens server-side.
* Trims the dangling "If you want to construct a FoundryAgent against a project endpoint..." sentence from ParseAgentEndpoint.
Unit tests:
* Four new tests in AzureAIProjectChatClientExtensionsTests cover the AIProjectClient.AsAIAgent(Uri agentEndpoint, ...) overload. 263/263 pass.
Consumer samples (Using-Samples):
* SimpleAgent and SessionFilesClient now read AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT and AZURE_AI_AGENT_NAME (both required, throw on missing), derive the agent endpoint with new Uri($"{projectEndpoint}/agents/{agentName}/endpoint/protocols/openai"), then call aiProjectClient.AsAIAgent(agentEndpoint, ...).
* SessionFilesClient README updated.
Contributor samples (responses/*):
* New HostedContributorRouteExtensions.MapDevTemporaryLocalAgentEndpoint() wildcard route extension so localhost contributor servers accept the per-agent OpenAI endpoint shape the production Hosted runtime exposes.
* All 11 contributor Program.cs files call MapDevTemporaryLocalAgentEndpoint() with a contributor-only warning comment.
* Hosted-Files and Hosted-AzureSearchRag were importing Hosted_Shared_Contributor_Setup but never calling AddDevTemporaryLocalContributorSetup(). Both now call it so HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider resolves correctly in dev.
* Hosted-AzureSearchRag, Hosted-Files, Hosted-MemoryAgent csprojs drop stale VersionOverride="2.1.0-beta.1" pins.
* Hosted-AzureSearchRag and Hosted-Files csprojs add ProjectReference to Hosted_Shared_Contributor_Setup.
* Hosted-Observability/.dockerignore removed the out/ exclusion that was blocking COPY out/ . in Dockerfile.contributor.
Verified:
* Full solution-scoped build of changed projects: green.
* Scoped CI-parity dotnet format via WSL2 + Docker (mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:10.0) over every changed csproj: clean.
* Foundry unit tests: 263/263.
* Contributor docker smoke for 8 hosted samples (publish + docker build + docker run + curl POST to the wildcard route): HTTP 200 / 500 with route matched.
* End-to-end smoke against the real Azure Foundry project with a fresh bearer token: Hosted-Files contributor container served HTTP 200, the agent invoked ListBundledFiles, and returned the expected file name.
* Address PR review: forward pipeline settings; add UTs
- CreateProjectClientOptions also carries RetryPolicy, NetworkTimeout, ClientLoggingOptions, MessageLoggingPolicy (was Transport+UserAgentApplicationId only).
- Make CreateProjectClientOptions internal so tests can verify the copy directly.
- Add AsAIAgent(Uri) UTs covering tools forwarding to inner ChatOptions and null tools handling.
- Add CreateProjectClientOptions UTs covering null caller and full pipeline-settings copy.
* Fix GitHubCopilotAgent ignoring tools from context providers (#5736)
_create_session and _resume_session only forwarded self._tools (constructor
tools) to CopilotClient.create_session, dropping any tools contributed by
context providers via session_context.extend_tools() during before_run.
Merge provider-contributed tools into runtime_options in both _run_impl and
_stream_updates before session creation, mirroring how RawAgent handles the
merge at lines 1435-1440 in _agents.py. Update _create_session and
_resume_session to combine self._tools with the merged runtime tools.

* Python: Fix GitHubCopilotAgent to include tools added by ContextProvider.before_run in session creation
Fixes#5736
* Fix provider tool merge to avoid mutating caller's list

caller-provided options['tools'] list (shallow copy issue)
- Also handles immutable Sequence types (e.g. tuple) correctly

The frontmatter parser previously matched only single-line `key: value` pairs, so block scalar indicators (`|` literal, `>` folded, with chomping `-`/`+`) were silently truncated to the indicator character. Multi-line descriptions like `description: >\n ...` lost their content.
Add `_parse_yaml_scalar_value()` which detects block scalar indicators, collects indented continuation lines, strips the common leading indentation, joins per scalar style (newlines for `|`, spaces for `>`), and applies chomping per the YAML 1.2 spec. Update `_extract_frontmatter()` to use the helper for unquoted values.
Adds 15 unit tests covering literal/folded styles, all chomping variants, indentation handling, content containing colons, non-description fields, tab indentation, blank-line preservation, and a regression test for plain values.
Fixes#5713.

* .NET: Add Hosted-MemoryAgent sample with isolation key plumbing (#5692)
Adds HostedSessionContext + HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider in Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.Hosting so AIContextProviders (notably FoundryMemoryProvider) can scope per user via the platform's x-agent-user-isolation-key / x-agent-chat-isolation-key headers.
- New types: HostedSessionContext (sealed), HostedSessionContextExtensions (public Get, internal Set), abstract HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider (async), internal PlatformHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider mapping ResponseContext.Isolation.
- AgentFrameworkResponseHandler now resolves the provider, tags fresh sessions, and validates resumed sessions against the live request (strict 403 'Hosted session identity context mismatch' on any mismatch; 500 on null keys).
- New shared sample project Hosted_Shared_Contributor_Setup hosts DevTemporaryTokenCredential and DevTemporaryLocalSessionIsolationKeyProvider plus AddDevTemporaryLocalContributorSetup. All 9 existing responses samples migrated to consume it so local runs keep working under the strict isolation contract.
- New Hosted-MemoryAgent sample: travel assistant wired through FoundryMemoryProvider with stateInitializer reading session.GetHostedContext().UserId. Includes Dockerfile, smoke.ps1, agent.yaml/manifest.
- New IT scenario 'memory' in Foundry.Hosting.IntegrationTests + MemoryHostedAgentFixture + MemoryHostedAgentTests. Verified end to end against the tao Foundry project.
- ADR 0026 captures the design tree.
* Address PR review feedback
- Dockerfile: add header noting it targets NuGet builds; contributors must use Dockerfile.contributor for ProjectReference source builds.
- PlatformHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider: doc said 'returns context with empty values'; corrected to 'returns null' which the handler treats as 500.
- FakeHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider: doc clarifies that null configurations are allowed for testing the handler error path.
- HostedSessionContextExtensions.SetHostedContext: enforce write-once with InvalidOperationException; doc + xml exception updated.
- AgentFrameworkResponseHandler: cache PlatformHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider as static readonly to avoid per-request allocation.
- MemoryHostedAgentTests: tighten waits from 20s to 5s (FoundryMemoryProvider defaults UpdateDelay=0; ingestion ~3s).
- Sample Program.cs imports reordered to satisfy IDE0005.
* Add HostedFoundryMemoryProviderScopes built-in helpers (#5692)
Addresses review feedback from @lokitoth on Hosted-MemoryAgent/Program.cs:54.
- New HostedFoundryMemoryProviderScopes static class with PerUser, PerChat, PerUserAndChat factories returning Func<AgentSession?, FoundryMemoryProvider.State>.
- All helpers throw InvalidOperationException when GetHostedContext() is null, with a message pointing at writing a custom stateInitializer for non-hosted scenarios.
- New HostedFoundryMemoryScope enum and AddHostedFoundryMemoryProvider DI extension (two overloads: explicit AIProjectClient and DI-resolved). Singleton lifetime. Default scope = PerUser.
- Hosted-MemoryAgent sample and the memory IT scenario container both swap their inline lambdas for HostedFoundryMemoryProviderScopes.PerUser().
- 14 new unit tests (241/241 hosting unit tests pass).
* Replace HostedFoundryMemoryScope enum with Func<...> parameter (#5692)
Address PR review feedback from @westey-m: enums are a breaking-change hazard when extended, and the enum was redundant with the existing HostedFoundryMemoryProviderScopes static class.
- Delete HostedFoundryMemoryScope.cs.
- AddHostedFoundryMemoryProvider DI extensions now take Func<AgentSession?, FoundryMemoryProvider.State>? stateInitializer = null. When null, default to HostedFoundryMemoryProviderScopes.PerUser().
- Callers pick a built-in helper (PerUser/PerChat/PerUserAndChat) or pass a custom delegate. New built-ins are a single static method addition with zero impact on existing callers.
- Tests updated; 244/244 hosting unit tests pass.
* Fix isolation context resume for externally-created conversations (#5692)
Branch on the session's existing hosted-context (not on conversation_id presence) so a conversation provisioned externally (e.g. via conversations.CreateProjectConversationAsync) is treated as fresh on first hosted-agent request and stamped, rather than rejected with 403 hosted_session_identity_mismatch. Strict equality is preserved on real resume of an already-stamped session.
Also tighten dotnet/global.json to version 10.0.204 + rollForward latestPatch so local builds match the CI Docker image SDK and avoid 10.0.300 dotnet format stripping required usings.
* Revert global.json SDK pin to upstream (#5692)
The 10.0.204 + latestPatch pin from the previous commit broke the dotnet-format CI job (hostfxr_resolve_sdk2 could not find a compatible SDK in the mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:10.0 image). Restore upstream 10.0.200 + minor; local Release builds with SDK 10.0.300 should set GITHUB_ACTIONS=true to bypass the auto-format-on-build target.

TestServerWithDevUI_ResolvesMixedAgentsAndWorkflows_AllRegistrationsAsync fails intermittently in the merge_group with NRE on the discovery response, blocking PRs unrelated to DevUI from merging. Skip via Fact(Skip=...) referencing #5845 while the underlying race is investigated.
* Python: DevUI: tighten default access controls and CORS posture
Adjusts the default configuration of the DevUI server so the out-of-the-box
posture matches what most callers expect when running locally. Adds explicit
opt-outs for callers who need the previous behavior.
- DevServer gains auth_enabled and auth_token constructor params; auth is on by
default. Auto-generates and logs a token when none provided.
- CORS default is an empty allowlist on every host. Callers wanting cross-origin
pass cors_origins explicitly.
- Streaming /v1/responses no longer sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin directly;
CORSMiddleware owns all CORS decisions.
- Loopback binds enforce a Host-header allowlist.
- /meta moved out of the auth bypass list (was alongside /health and /).
- serve() default flipped to auth_enabled=True; passes auth args through to
DevServer instead of using env-var indirection.
- CLI: --auth opt-in replaced with --no-auth opt-out; --auth-token preserved.
- Tests cover the eight behaviors above in test_server.py.
* Python: DevUI: address PR review comments
- /meta now derives auth_required from self.auth_enabled instead of
reading DEVUI_AUTH_TOKEN, so the auto-generated and explicit
auth_token paths report correctly.
- Reorder middleware so the loopback Host-header allowlist is registered
last; Starlette wraps later-added middleware around earlier-added ones,
so the host check now runs outermost (before CORS/auth) as intended.
- Rework comments to describe the behavior rather than threat scenarios.
- Streaming-headers and CORS tests now construct the server with an
explicit auth_token and send a Bearer header, so the assertions
actually exercise the streaming/CORS path instead of short-circuiting
in the auth middleware.
Replaces two ILogger.LogWarning(string, params object?[]) calls in DevUIAuthFilter and DevUIExtensions with allocation-free [LoggerMessage] partial methods on a new internal DevUILog class. Preserves original message templates and structured property names ({RemoteIp}, {EnvVar}).

Fixes microsoft/agent-framework#3295. When the OpenAI Responses chat
client sends a request that carries previous_response_id / conversation_id
/ conversation, the server already has the prior turn's response items
and rejects duplicates with "Duplicate item found with id fc_xxx". The
chat client was re-sending them inline whenever the input messages still
carried the items in additional_properties (workflow replay, history
providers, etc.), which broke any tool-using agent with persistent
history.
Decisions:
- Single chokepoint: _prepare_message_for_openai. When the resulting
request uses service-side storage, drop function_call, reasoning,
approval-request/response, and local-shell-call items from the wire
input. Keep function_result with its call_id; the server pairs it to
the prior function_call via that key.
- function_result is preserved unconditionally except for the local-shell
variant, which carries its own server-issued item id.
- No public API change. Wire format change is subtractive and only on
requests that would otherwise 400.
- Re-pointed the strict-xfail in test_full_conversation.py from #4047 to
#3295. Kept xfail because the test asserts executor-level session-id
clearing, which is the defense-in-depth half tracked by 3295-03; this
slice closes the wire-level half.
Files:
- python/packages/openai/agent_framework_openai/_chat_client.py: strip
rule applied alongside the existing reasoning-item branch.
- python/packages/openai/tests/openai/test_openai_chat_client.py: four
new tests pin the contract (function_call, approval, local-shell-call
stripped under storage; everything kept without storage). Updated
pre-existing tests that exercised the storage-on path to either pass
request_uses_service_side_storage=False explicitly or assert the new
strip behavior.
- python/packages/foundry/tests/foundry/test_foundry_chat_client.py:
same explicit storage-off opt-in for the inherited test.
- python/packages/core/tests/workflow/test_full_conversation.py:
re-pointed xfail reason to #3295 and the executor-level follow-up.
Notes for next iteration:
- 3295-01 (HITL wire-format validation against live OpenAI/Foundry) was
not run; it requires the user's API credentials. The PRD design is
locked but the empirical confirmation is still pending. If script 3
fails on either provider, this slice may need to be revisited.
- 3295-03 (clear service_session_id in AgentExecutor on full-history
replay) remains open. After it lands the xfail in
test_full_conversation.py can be removed.
- pytest was not run in this iteration because uv-based pytest commands
required interactive approval. Validation rests on careful reading;
next iteration should run the openai + core test suites.

* fix(python): prevent MCP message_handler deadlock on notification reload
When an MCP server sends a notifications/tools/list_changed or
notifications/prompts/list_changed notification, the message_handler
previously awaited load_tools()/load_prompts() directly. Since the
handler runs on the MCP SDK's single-threaded receive loop, this
caused a deadlock: load_tools() sends a list_tools request and waits
for its response, but the receive loop cannot deliver that response
while blocked in the handler.
This manifested as a timeout in call_tool(), which then surfaced as
"Error: Function failed." to the model instead of the real tool
output. The MATLAB MCP server reliably triggers this because it sends
a tools/list_changed notification during tool execution.
Fix: schedule reloads as background asyncio.Tasks via a new
_schedule_reload() helper, freeing the receive loop immediately.

* .NET: feat(evals): add ground_truth/expected_output support for workflow eval
Brings .NET to parity with Python PR #5234 for issue #5135:
- Add expectedOutput parameter to Run.EvaluateAsync (workflow) and stamp on the overall EvalItem.ExpectedOutput.
- Map EvalItem.ExpectedOutput -> ground_truth in the Foundry JSONL payload, item_schema, and data_mapping for similarity.
- Add GroundTruthEvaluators set (currently builtin.similarity) and a FindMissingGroundTruthEvaluators helper.
- Fail fast with InvalidOperationException when a ground-truth evaluator is selected but no item provides an ExpectedOutput, instead of surfacing a remote provider error.
- Add tests in FoundryEvalConverterTests and WorkflowEvaluationTests.
- Add Evaluation_WorkflowExpectedOutputs sample (workflow + Foundry similarity).

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Sample: disable per-agent breakdown when using reference-based evaluator
Per-agent EvalItems are intentionally left without ExpectedOutput, so the new fail-fast validation in FoundryEvals would throw when Similarity is invoked for per-agent items. Pass includePerAgent: false in the workflow + similarity sample, and document this gotcha in the EvaluateAsync XML doc.

* Fix BuildOverallItem: fall back to last ExecutorCompletedEvent
AgentResponseEvent is only emitted when AIAgentHostOptions.EmitAgentResponseEvents is enabled, which is not the default for WorkflowBuilder(agent).AddEdge(...). When it is absent, fall back to the last non-internal ExecutorCompletedEvent whose Data is an AgentResponse / ChatMessage / string so the overall EvalItem (and any expectedOutput) is produced. Without this, samples wired up the standard way returned 0 evaluation items.
Update test to cover the fallback path.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Sample: enable EmitAgentResponseEvents; eval throws clear error when no overall response found
Root cause of '0 results': AIAgentHostExecutor only emits AgentResponseEvent when AIAgentHostOptions.EmitAgentResponseEvents is true (default false). For ordinary AIAgent executors the runtime's ExecutorCompletedEvent.Data is null, so the prior fallback couldn't find a final response either.
Sample now builds executors with EmitAgentResponseEvents=true via BindAsExecutor(hostOptions). EvaluateAsync now throws InvalidOperationException with a remediation hint when the user supplies expectedOutput but no overall final response can be located, instead of silently returning 0/0.

* Guard against null sample/error/usage/datasource_item in ParseDetailedItem
Foundry eval responses can have these properties present with JSON null
or non-object values, which caused JsonElement.TryGetProperty to throw
'requires Object, has Null'. Check ValueKind == Object before drilling in.

* Address PR review: reorder expectedOutput, tighten ground-truth check, add fail-fast test
* WorkflowEvaluationExtensions.EvaluateAsync: move 'expectedOutput' to
after 'splitter' so the original positional contract of (splitter,
cancellationToken) is preserved for existing callers.
* FoundryEvals: require ALL items to carry ExpectedOutput when a
ground-truth evaluator is selected (e.g. similarity), not just any.
Reference-based evaluators score per-item, so a single missing GT
would still surface as a provider-side validation error. Updated
fail-fast message accordingly.
* WorkflowEvaluationTests: add EvaluateAsync_WithExpectedOutputButNoFinalResponse_ThrowsAsync

message mentions EmitAgentResponseEvents).

it surfaces a clear, actionable error in both cases.
* BuildOverallItem switch default now throws instead of returning null. The
preceding for-loop already constrains Data to AgentResponse/ChatMessage/
string, so reaching default would indicate a contract drift; throw to make
the bug visible.
* Test renamed and broadened to verify the throw fires without expectedOutput.

* .NET: OpenTelemetryAgent normalize sourceName once and add OTEL wiring path coverage
Normalize the configured source name once in the constructor so the outer OpenTelemetryChatClient and the auto-wired inner OpenTelemetryChatClient always emit spans on the same ActivitySource. A caller passing an empty string previously produced agent-level spans on DefaultSourceName but auto-wired chat spans on the empty source, causing the chat spans to be silently dropped by exporters subscribed to the default source.
Tests added to cover the previously unexercised OTEL wiring branches:
- Ctor_NullOrEmptySourceName_AutoWiredChatClientUsesDefaultSource_Async (Theory: null and empty)
- AutoWireChatClient_PlainAgentRunOptions_PreservesContinuationToken_Async
- AutoWireChatClient_ChatClientAgentRunOptions_NoUserFactory_PreservesChatOptions_Async
- AutoWireChatClient_StreamingDisabled_DoesNotEmitChatSpan_Async
* .NET: Mark OpenTelemetryAgent autoWireChatClient ctor as [Experimental]
Annotate the new 3-arg OpenTelemetryAgent(AIAgent, string?, bool) constructor with [Experimental(DiagnosticIds.Experiments.AgentsAIExperiments)] (MAAI001) so callers must explicitly opt in to the auto-wire toggle. The original 2-arg constructor stays non-experimental and delegates with autoWireChatClient: true; the delegating call is locally suppressed so the existing source compatibility surface is preserved.
* .NET: OpenTelemetryAgent address westey-m PR review
- Use string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace (not IsNullOrEmpty) when normalizing the constructor sourceName, so callers passing whitespace-only strings still land on OpenTelemetryConsts.DefaultSourceName instead of an unsubscribed ActivitySource.
- Fix the misleading pragma comment on the 2-arg ctor delegating call: auto-wiring is the new default, it does not preserve the original (pre-PR) behavior.
- Expand the GetRunOptionsWithChatClientWiring XML doc to spell out that a base AgentRunOptions (not ChatClientAgentRunOptions) is also accepted: it is converted to ChatClientAgentRunOptions with the auto-wire factory installed and base properties copied.
- Tests: extend the source-name normalization Theory with whitespace cases (' ' and '\t'); add end-to-end coverage for plain AgentRunOptions over a real ChatClientAgent (sync + streaming) asserting the inner chat client is invoked and both invoke_agent + chat spans are emitted.

The upsidr/merge-gatekeeper@v1 action is a Dockerfile-based action that
builds a golang image on every run. On merge_group events the run step
is conditioned out via `if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'`, so the
build happens but produces nothing.
Replace with an actions/github-script@v8 polling loop that mirrors the
action's behavior exactly: merges combined-statuses and check-runs for
the PR head SHA, with combined-status winning on name collisions, and
the same conclusion mapping (skipped → dropped, success/neutral →
success, anything else terminal → error). Same job name, triggers,
permissions, timeout (3600s), interval (30s), and ignored list, so
existing required-check rules stay valid.
PR runs now poll the API in seconds instead of waiting on a per-run
docker image build, and merge_group runs become near-instant no-ops.

* Fix OpenAIResponsesAgentClient endpoint to include agentName in path (#5324)
The sample OpenAIResponsesAgentClient used '/v1/' as the endpoint, which
routes to the multi-agent endpoint requiring agent.name in the request body.
However, AsIChatClient(agentName) maps agentName to the model field, not
agent.name, causing HTTP 400 errors on OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
Changed the endpoint to '/{agentName}/v1/' to match the pattern used by
OpenAIChatCompletionsAgentClient, routing to the single-agent endpoint
where no agent.name body field is needed.
Added regression test verifying that the model field alone is insufficient
for agent resolution on the multi-agent endpoint.

# Hosted session identity context for Foundry Hosting
## Context and Problem Statement
Server-hosted Foundry agents need a way to scope per-user state (most notably `FoundryMemoryProvider` memories) by the end user that initiated the request. The Foundry platform already injects `x-agent-user-isolation-key` and `x-agent-chat-isolation-key` headers on every Responses request, but the agent-framework hosting layer did not surface those values to `AIContextProvider` instances. The provider's `stateInitializer` only received an `AgentSession?` with no identity attached, so per-user scoping was impossible without out-of-band plumbing.
## Decision Drivers
- Memory and any future user-private context must be partitioned per end user without per-sample boilerplate.
- The identity must be **read-only** from the perspective of `AIContextProvider`s, so a buggy or hostile provider cannot escalate or leak across users.
- The persisted session must validate against the live request on every resume to defend against session-id leak and in-process tampering.
- The change must work for every existing hosted-agent type (`ChatClientAgent`, `FoundryAgent`, future ones) without per-type refactoring of cast-heavy code paths in `Microsoft.Agents.AI`.
- Local Docker debugging must remain possible when the platform headers are absent.
## Considered Options
1.**`HostedSessionContext` stored in `AgentSessionStateBag`, exposed via a public read accessor and an `internal` setter.** Hosting writes once on session creation and validates on every resume.
2.**Specialised `HostedAgentSession : AgentSession` wrapper** that carries `UserId`/`ChatId` properties, with `GetService<ChatClientAgentSession>()` as the unwrap escape hatch.
3.**New property on `AgentSession` base class** (`HostedSessionContext? HostedContext { get; internal set; }`).
4.**AsyncLocal middleware** that reads the headers and stuffs them into a per-request `AsyncLocal<HostedSessionContext>` consumed by the provider.
For the source of identity:
- A. The platform-injected `IsolationContext` exposed by `ResponseContext.Isolation` (typed `UserIsolationKey`/`ChatIsolationKey`).
- B. The OpenAI Responses spec's top-level `request.User` field.
- C. A custom HTTP header `x-client-user`.
## Decision Outcome
**Option 1** was chosen for the storage shape, sourced from **Option A** (`ResponseContext.Isolation`).
Rationale:
- **Wrapper rejected (Option 2).** `ChatClientAgentSession` is `sealed` and `ChatClientAgent` rejects any other session type via direct `is not ChatClientAgentSession` checks at multiple call sites. Wrapping would force non-trivial refactors across `Microsoft.Agents.AI` and a corresponding repeat for every other agent type.
- **Base-class property rejected (Option 3).** Leaks "hosted" semantics into the universal `AgentSession` abstraction used by Durable, A2A, and CopilotStudio agents that have no notion of a hosted user.
- **AsyncLocal rejected (Option 4).** Surfaces the concept only locally, requires every consumer to re-implement the bridge, and cannot be enforced as read-only.
- **`request.User` rejected (Option B).** Set by the caller, not the platform. Forging it client-side trivially defeats per-user partitioning.
- **`x-client-user` rejected (Option C).** Non-standard, requires custom HTTP plumbing, and duplicates the platform-provided isolation contract.
Implementation summary in `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.Hosting`:
| Type | Visibility | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `HostedSessionContext` | public sealed | Captures `UserId` and `ChatId` (both required, non-whitespace). |
| `HostedSessionContextExtensions.GetHostedContext` | public | Read accessor for `AIContextProvider`s. |
| `HostedSessionContextExtensions.SetHostedContext` | internal | Writer reserved for the hosting assembly. Backed by `AgentSessionStateBag` under a well-known key for serialisation. |
| `PlatformHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider` | internal sealed | Default implementation. Maps `context.Isolation.UserIsolationKey` and `context.Isolation.ChatIsolationKey`. Returns `null` when either is absent. |
Behaviour added to `AgentFrameworkResponseHandler.CreateAsync`:
1. Resolve `HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider` from DI; fall back to `PlatformHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider`.
2. Call `GetKeysAsync(context, request, cancellationToken)`. A `null` result throws `InvalidOperationException` (becomes 500). A null/whitespace `UserId` or `ChatId` is rejected by `HostedSessionContext`'s constructor.
3. Branch on the **session's existing context**, not on whether a `conversation_id` was supplied:
- **No session (`session is null`):** nothing to stamp; skip.
- **Session present but un-stamped (`GetHostedContext() is null`):** treat as fresh. This covers both newly-created sessions and pre-existing sessions whose `conversation_id` was provisioned externally (e.g. via `conversations.CreateProjectConversationAsync()`) before the first hosted-agent request. Stamp the resolved identity now.
- **Session present with stamped context:** strict resume. The persisted `UserId` and `ChatId` must equal the resolved values exactly. Mismatch throws `ResponsesApiException` with status 403 and body `Hosted session identity context mismatch`.
## Consequences
Positive:
- Per-user memory partitioning works out of the box for any agent that consumes a `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.FoundryMemoryProvider` configured to read `session.GetHostedContext().UserId`.
- Cross-user session-id leak and in-process tampering of the persisted identity both surface as a 403 with a deliberately uninformative body.
- The identity is opaque to the framework, matching the platform's semantics. The framework never inspects user identity; the `IsolationContext` keys are pre-partitioned per agent.
Negative:
- Every existing hosted sample fails locally without a `HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider` registered, because the platform headers are absent outside the platform. Mitigated by shipping `Hosted_Shared_Contributor_Setup` with `DevTemporaryLocalSessionIsolationKeyProvider` and `AddDevTemporaryLocalContributorSetup`, and migrating all 9 existing responses samples.
- An attacker who can plant an un-stamped session under a victim's `conversation_id`*before* the victim's first hosted-agent request would be stamped with the attacker's identity on that first request. This is not a regression vs. behaviour without this contract, and is mitigated in practice because the `conversation_id` namespace is allocated by the platform per project. Once a session is stamped, the strict equality check fully defends the resume path.
## Out of scope
- Per-request `User` field on `CreateResponse` is intentionally not consumed; only the platform `IsolationContext` headers carry trustworthy identity.
- Generic (non-Foundry) hosting layers can re-define an equivalent type if needed; nothing in this ADR is moved into `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Hosting` because `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.Hosting` does not depend on it.
- HMAC tamper signatures over the persisted context are not implemented; comparison against `ResponseContext.Isolation` on every request is sufficient because the platform sets those headers at the trust boundary.
# Python minimal hosting core and pluggable channels
## Context and Problem Statement
Agent Framework has several protocol-specific hosting surfaces. App authors who want one agent or workflow on multiple protocols must compose servers, routes, middleware, session handling, and lifecycle code by hand.
We will introduce a small Python hosting core that owns the common server shape and leaves protocol details inside channel packages. The first public contract must be intentionally narrow so Python can ship a base contract before adding identity linking, proactive delivery, or multicast behavior. Other language implementations may reuse the same conceptual boundary, but this ADR records the Python decision.
## Decision Drivers
- Keep the first host easy to explain: one app, one hostable target, one or more channels.
- one hostable target (`SupportsAgentRun` agent-compatible object or a `Workflow`), and
- one or more channels.
Channels own:
- contributed routes, middleware, commands, and lifecycle callbacks,
- protocol-native request parsing into `ChannelRequest`,
- protocol-native rendering of the originating response, and
- any channel-specific authentication or signature validation.
The host owns:
- route/lifecycle aggregation,
- invocation of the target,
-`ChannelSession(isolation_key=...)` to `AgentSession` resolution and caching,
-`reset_session(isolation_key=...)`,
- host-level middleware, including Foundry isolation middleware only when the Foundry hosting environment flag is present,
- invocation of per-channel hooks (`ChannelRunHook`, `ChannelResponseHook`, `ChannelStreamUpdateHook`), and
- workflow checkpoint wiring through an explicit `checkpoint_location`.
`ChannelIdentity`, when present, is request metadata only. In v1 it is not a linking, authorization, or delivery key.
### Trust boundary for `isolation_key`
The host treats `ChannelSession.isolation_key` as a session partition key, not as proof of identity. Channels or host middleware must authenticate and authorize any externally supplied value before passing it to the host. For example, a Responses caller must not be allowed to choose an arbitrary `previous_response_id` or header-derived key unless the platform or middleware has already established that the caller owns that conversation. The host deliberately does not infer that trust from the string itself.
### Hook ownership
Channels provide hook configuration and protocol-native context. The host invokes those hooks as part of the common invocation pipeline:
-`ChannelRunHook` runs after channel parsing and before target invocation.
-`ChannelResponseHook` runs after target invocation and before the originating channel serializes its response.
-`ChannelStreamUpdateHook` is applied by the host while the channel consumes streamed updates because streaming serialization is protocol-specific.
`ChannelStreamUpdateHook` is an update hook, not a final-response sanitizer. Channels that use it for redaction or filtering must also apply equivalent policy to any final response they render. Channels choose whether the response is streaming before run hooks execute.
This keeps hook call conventions centralized while leaving protocol payload parsing and response formatting in channel packages.
### State owned by v1
`state_dir` is limited to host-owned local files for reset-session aliases and workflow checkpoint path derivation. It does not store linked identities, active-channel state, response-routing state, continuation records, durable runner queues, or delivery attempts. Those storage concerns belong to ADR-0028.
## Non-goals for v1
The following are deliberately **not** part of the v1 contract:
- cross-channel identity linking (`IdentityLinker`, `local_identity_link`, or `agent-framework-hosting-entra`),
- identity allowlists or authorization policy (`IdentityAllowlist`, `AuthPolicy`),
- response routing beyond the originating channel (`ResponseTarget`, active channel, specific linked channel, `all_linked`),
- push or payload codecs (`ChannelPush`, `ChannelPushCodec`),
These areas are follow-up enhancements covered by [ADR-0028](0028-hosting-linking-multicast-enhancements.md). They are not prerequisites for shipping or using the v1 host.
## Consequences
Positive:
- The host/channel model can be implemented and tested without designing a security-sensitive identity graph.
- Existing and new channel packages can share one Starlette app, middleware stack, lifecycle, and target invocation path.
- Session continuity is explicit and debuggable: two channels share history only when they produce the same `isolation_key`.
- Hook invocation is centralized in the host, so channels do not each invent the call convention.
Negative:
- Apps that need OAuth linking, allowlists, proactive messages, or multicast must continue to implement those behaviors outside the v1 host.
- Some richer cross-channel scenarios from the original design move to a separate decision and validation cycle.
- The host must document `isolation_key` trust clearly because it now provides the shared session boundary.
## Validation Gates
Before this ADR is accepted:
- A sample can expose one target on multiple channels with one `AgentFrameworkHost` and no handwritten Starlette route composition.
- Built-in channel tests prove that routes, commands, startup, and shutdown callbacks are contributed by channels and aggregated by the host.
- Session tests prove that identical `ChannelSession.isolation_key` values resolve to the same cached `AgentSession`, and `reset_session` rotates that mapping.
- Channel tests prove that each channel renders only its own originating response; there is no host-level push, multicast, or active-channel delivery path.
- Workflow tests or samples use an explicit `checkpoint_location`.
- Foundry isolation middleware is documented and covered by integration or contract tests, including the non-Foundry case where raw isolation headers are ignored.
- The v1 API and packages do not expose the removed symbols or packages listed in [Non-goals for v1](#non-goals-for-v1).
- The Python spec is updated to match this simplified contract and uses "public", "stable", or "released" terminology for Agent Framework APIs.
[ADR-0027](0027-hosting-channels.md) defines the minimal v1 hosting core: originating-channel responses, explicit `ChannelSession.isolation_key`, and no host-level identity linking, push, multicast, background delivery, or durable runners.
This ADR tracks the richer cross-channel behaviors that were removed from v1. These enhancements are **follow-up work** and are **not prerequisites** for shipping, using, or stabilizing the v1 host/channel core.
## Decision Drivers
- Cross-channel continuity must not create accidental cross-user, cross-tenant, or cross-channel data leaks.
- Non-originating delivery must be observable, idempotent, retryable, and supportable.
- Protocol payloads must remain channel-native while still being safe to persist and replay.
- App authors need opt-in policy controls, not hidden defaults.
- The enhancement stack should layer on top of the v1 host without reshaping the minimal channel contract.
## Enhancement Areas
The follow-up design should cover these capabilities together because they share identity, storage, delivery, and replay concerns:
- **Cross-channel identity linking** — a user can connect multiple `ChannelIdentity` values to one channel-neutral `isolation_key`.
- **Authorization and allowlist policy** — channels or hosts can require verified identity, allow specific native identities or claims, and deny unknown callers.
- **Non-originating response delivery** — a run can respond somewhere other than the request's originating protocol when explicitly configured.
- **Active-channel routing** — delivery can target the most recently observed linked channel for an `isolation_key`.
- **Multicast / all-linked delivery** — delivery can fan out to every linked channel or a selected set.
- **Background runs and continuation tokens** — long-running requests can return immediately and complete later, with a polling/status fallback.
- **Durable delivery runners** — delivery work can survive process restarts and support dead-letter handling.
- **Retry and replay semantics** — delivery attempts are bounded, deduplicated, and safe to replay.
- **Payload serialization** — channel-specific payloads can be persisted, redacted, versioned, and reconstructed without losing protocol fidelity.
Candidate API names from the broader design (`IdentityLinker`, `IdentityAllowlist`, `AuthPolicy`, `ResponseTarget`, `ChannelPush`, `ChannelPushCodec`, `DurableTaskRunner`, `InProcessTaskRunner`, `RetryPolicy`, `LinkPolicy`) remain design vocabulary for this ADR. They are not approved v1 APIs.
## Considered Options
### Option A — Leave all behavior to applications
Applications implement linking, authorization, push, retry, and serialization independently.
- Good: the hosting core stays very small.
- Neutral: advanced apps can still build what they need.
- Bad: every app must solve the same security and delivery problems, likely inconsistently.
### Option B — Add the full enhancement stack to v1
The first host release includes linking, authorization, active channel, multicast, background runs, durable runners, and codecs.
- Good: the original cross-channel experience is available immediately.
- Neutral: samples can demonstrate rich end-to-end flows.
- Bad: v1 becomes security-sensitive, storage-heavy, and harder to stabilize.
### Option C — Layer opt-in enhancement packages after v1
Ship the minimal host first, then add linking, authorization, and delivery packages behind explicit configuration.
- Good: v1 remains simple while leaving room for a reviewed, supportable enhancement stack.
- Neutral: apps that need advanced delivery wait for follow-up packages.
- Bad: the first release does not satisfy proactive or all-linked scenarios.
### Option D — Build only platform-specific integrations
Implement linking and proactive delivery separately in Telegram, Activity Protocol, Discord, and future channels.
- Good: each package can match its protocol exactly.
- Neutral: some shared abstractions may emerge later.
- Bad: cross-channel behavior becomes fragmented and hard to reason about.
## Decision Outcome
Proposed direction: **Option C — layered opt-in enhancement packages after v1**.
The minimal host remains the foundation. Follow-up packages may add linking, authorization, delivery, and durable execution, but must be explicitly enabled and must pass the validation gates below before becoming part of the public contract.
## Safety Requirements
### Threat model
The design must account for:
- spoofed channel-native identities,
- stolen or replayed link challenges,
- cross-tenant or cross-confidentiality data leakage,
- unsolicited proactive messages,
- malicious payloads persisted for replay,
- denial-of-service through fan-out or retry storms, and
- privacy leakage through logs, metrics, or support tooling.
Required mitigations include verified identity claims where available, signed and expiring link challenges, explicit user consent, per-channel capability checks, default-deny policy options, tenant partitioning, and uninformative denial messages on shared channels.
### Idempotency and replay
Exactly-once delivery is not a realistic guarantee. The design must provide:
- stable run, continuation, and delivery-attempt identifiers,
- channel-level idempotency keys where protocols support them,
- bounded retry with jitter and explicit terminal states,
- replay windows and expiration,
- duplicate suppression for persisted attempts, and
- clear semantics for "delivered", "accepted by platform", and "observed by user".
### Storage
Enhancement storage must stay distinct from v1 `AgentSession` history and workflow checkpoints unless an implementation deliberately backs them with the same physical store.
Stored data should be schema-versioned, minimized, encrypted or otherwise protected as appropriate, and partitioned by tenant/project. Link records, continuation records, active-channel state, delivery attempts, dead letters, and serialized payloads need independent TTL and deletion policies.
### Observability and support
The design must include structured logs, traces, and metrics for link attempts, authorization decisions, delivery scheduling, retries, replay, and dead-letter outcomes. Logs must avoid message content and sensitive identity claims by default. Operators need a way to inspect, revoke, replay, or purge stuck records safely.
## Validation Gates
Before these enhancements are accepted:
- A reviewed threat model covers identity linking, authorization, non-originating delivery, multicast, and replay.
- Cross-channel linking tests prove a verified identity can link two channels and that unlink/deny paths do not leak information.
- Background/continuation tests cover polling fallback, cancellation or expiration, process restart, retry, and dead-letter behavior.
- Codec tests prove payloads are versioned, redacted where needed, backward compatible, and rejected safely when unknown.
- Multicast tests prove fan-out is bounded, independently retried, and idempotent per destination.
- Observability tests or manual validation prove support operators can correlate a request to delivery attempts without exposing sensitive content.
## Relationship to ADR-0027
ADR-0027 remains valid without any of these enhancements. This ADR extends the hosting model only after the safety, storage, and support requirements above are satisfied.
This specification is the Python implementation plan for [ADR-0027](../decisions/0027-hosting-channels.md). It documents the simplified v1 host/channel contract only.
The v1 contract is:
-`AgentFrameworkHost` owns one Starlette app, one hostable target, and one or more channels.
- A hostable target is either a `SupportsAgentRun`-compatible agent or a `Workflow`.
- Channels contribute routes, middleware, commands, and lifecycle callbacks.
- Channels parse protocol-native input into `ChannelRequest`.
- Channels render their own originating response.
- Session continuity is explicit: a channel supplies `ChannelSession(isolation_key=...)`, and the host resolves/caches an `AgentSession` for that key.
- The host invokes `ChannelRunHook` and `ChannelResponseHook`; channels provide hook configuration and protocol context.
The host does not link identities, route responses to other channels, run background continuations, or multicast in v1. Those enhancements are tracked in [ADR-0028](../decisions/0028-hosting-linking-multicast-enhancements.md).
## Goals
- Let an app expose one agent or workflow on multiple protocols without handwritten Starlette composition.
- Keep protocol parsing and response formatting inside channel packages.
- Provide one session-resolution path shared by all channels.
- Keep the channel authoring surface small enough for new channels to implement.
- Preserve full-fidelity agent and workflow results until a channel decides how to render them.
## Non-goals for v1
The following are removed from the v1 implementation pass:
-`IdentityLinker`, `IdentityAllowlist`, `AuthPolicy`, and `LinkPolicy`
-`ResponseTarget`, active-channel routing, `all_linked`, fan-out, and multicast
-`ChannelPush` and `ChannelPushCodec`
-`DurableTaskRunner`, `InProcessTaskRunner`, and `RetryPolicy`
- continuation tokens and background delivery
- confidentiality tiers
-`agent-framework-hosting-entra`
-`local_identity_link`
These are follow-up design topics, not hidden requirements of the v1 host.
| `agent-framework-foundry-hosting` | `agent_framework.foundry_hosting` | Foundry isolation middleware and Foundry-backed hosting helpers usable with the v1 host. |
Channel packages may depend on their native SDKs. The core hosting package should not depend on channel SDKs or on top-level legacy protocol hosts.
## Key Types
### `AgentFrameworkHost`
The host constructor accepts:
-`target`: one `SupportsAgentRun`-compatible object or one `Workflow`
-`channels`: one or more `Channel` instances
- optional Starlette middleware
- optional `state_dir`
- optional workflow `checkpoint_location`
The host exposes:
-`app`: the canonical Starlette ASGI application
-`serve(...)`: a convenience wrapper for local serving
-`reset_session(isolation_key: str)`: rotate the cached `AgentSession` for a host-tracked conversation
`state_dir` is narrowed to v1 host-owned local files only:
- session aliases (`isolation_key` to current `AgentSession` id), and
- workflow checkpoint paths when the app chooses the host-provided file layout.
It is not a store for identity links, continuations, active-channel state, delivery attempts, or multicast payloads.
Externally supplied isolation keys are trusted only after the channel or host middleware has authenticated and authorized the caller. The host uses `isolation_key` as a partition key; the string itself is not proof of identity or ownership.
### `Channel`
A channel implements a small protocol:
- declare a stable channel id/name,
- contribute routes, middleware, commands, and lifecycle callbacks,
- parse inbound protocol data into `ChannelRequest`,
- call the host through `ChannelContext.run(...)` or `ChannelContext.run_stream(...)`, and
- serialize the returned result to the originating protocol response.
Channels own protocol authentication, signature validation, native command registration, and protocol-specific error bodies.
### `ChannelContribution`
`ChannelContribution` is the channel's host-facing contribution:
- Starlette routes and optional middleware,
- native command descriptors,
- startup and shutdown callbacks, and
- any channel-local metadata needed by the package.
The host aggregates contributions but does not interpret protocol payloads.
### `ChannelRequest`
`ChannelRequest` is the host-neutral request envelope produced by a channel. It carries:
- target input,
- optional `ChannelSession`,
- optional `ChannelIdentity`,
- options and attributes produced by the channel, and
- request metadata useful to hooks and context providers.
The host may pass attributes through to context providers and middleware. Channels should treat attributes as a documented extension bag, not as a cross-channel delivery contract.
### `ChannelSession`
`ChannelSession(isolation_key=...)` is the only v1 session-continuity mechanism.
When a request contains an isolation key:
1. The host looks up or creates the cached `AgentSession` for that key.
2. The target runs with that `AgentSession` when the target is an agent.
3.`reset_session(isolation_key)` rotates the alias so the next request starts a new conversation.
If two channels produce the same isolation key on the same host, they share the same cached session. If they produce different keys, they do not share session state.
### `ChannelIdentity`
`ChannelIdentity` is optional request metadata such as channel id, native user id, tenant id, claims, or display attributes.
In v1, `ChannelIdentity` does not link channels, authorize callers, select delivery destinations, or imply that two identities should share an `AgentSession`. A channel that wants shared history must still produce the same `ChannelSession.isolation_key`.
### Hooks
Hooks are optional and channel-owned:
-`ChannelRunHook`: runs after channel parsing and before host invocation; returns the `ChannelRequest` to execute.
-`ChannelResponseHook`: runs after target completion and before the originating channel renders a one-shot response.
-`ChannelStreamUpdateHook`: the host applies it to streamed updates before the originating channel serializes the stream.
Common uses include adapting chat text into workflow inputs, enforcing deployment-specific options, flattening rich output for text-only protocols, or filtering streamed updates for a protocol. Stream update hooks are update-only; they do not automatically sanitize `get_final_response()` output. Channels choose their response transport from the parsed protocol request before invoking run hooks.
### `HostedRunResult`
`HostedRunResult[T]` wraps the target's full-fidelity result plus the resolved `AgentSession | None`.
- Agent targets produce `HostedRunResult[AgentResponse]`.
- Workflow targets produce `HostedRunResult[WorkflowRunResult]`.
The host does not flatten, filter, or translate the result. Each channel decides how much of the result its protocol can carry.
## Host Behavior
1.`AgentFrameworkHost` builds one Starlette app and asks each channel for its contribution.
2. A channel route receives a protocol-native request.
3. The channel validates/parses the native payload and creates `ChannelRequest`.
4. The channel passes the request, optional `ChannelRunHook`, and protocol-native context to the host.
5. The host invokes `ChannelRunHook`, if configured, and receives the prepared request.
6. The host resolves an `AgentSession` from `ChannelSession.isolation_key` when present.
7. The host invokes the agent or workflow target.
8. The host wraps the result in `HostedRunResult` or the streaming equivalent.
9. The host invokes `ChannelResponseHook`, if configured, for non-streaming/final response shaping.
10. The host applies stream update hooks while the channel consumes streams; the channel renders the originating protocol response.
There is no host-level route from one channel's request to another channel's response in v1.
## Workflow Checkpoints
Workflow checkpointing is explicit. Apps either configure checkpoint storage on the workflow itself or pass a `checkpoint_location` to the host so the workflow dispatch path can use the intended file location.
`state_dir` may provide a conventional location for workflow checkpoint files, but checkpointing is still opt-in and separate from agent session history. Checkpoints are workflow-runtime state, not channel state and not identity-link state.
## Foundry Isolation Middleware
V1 keeps Foundry isolation as middleware rather than as a channel-linking feature.
The middleware is installed only when the Foundry hosting environment flag is present. In that environment it reads Foundry-provided isolation values at the trusted hosting boundary, exposes them as read-only request context for Foundry-aware history or memory providers, and rejects unsafe session resumes when the live isolation context does not match persisted session context. Outside Foundry, raw isolation headers are ignored unless an app supplies its own trusted middleware.
This middleware does not create cross-channel identity links and does not authorize non-Foundry channels.
## Current Channels
### Responses
`ResponsesChannel` exposes the OpenAI-compatible Responses API shape. It maps request body fields such as input, options, and conversation identifiers into `ChannelRequest`, and it renders Responses-compatible one-shot or streaming responses.
Responses session continuity uses a channel-selected `isolation_key`, commonly derived from a response/conversation id, caller-provided session id, Foundry isolation context, or deployment-specific request metadata.
### Invocations
`InvocationsChannel` exposes an invocation endpoint for server-side callers and tools. It maps the request body into `ChannelRequest` and renders the invocation result on the same HTTP response.
Invocations is useful for typed workflow inputs because a `ChannelRunHook` can translate the request body into the workflow's expected input type.
### Telegram
`TelegramChannel` supports webhook or polling transport, native command registration, and message rendering back to the originating Telegram chat.
The channel chooses a default `isolation_key` from Telegram-native data such as chat id, user id, or a configured user/chat scope. A `/new` or equivalent command may call `reset_session` for that isolation key.
### Activity Protocol
`ActivityChannel` supports Activity Protocol requests, typically through Azure Bot Service for Teams, Web Chat, and other Bot Framework-fronted surfaces.
The channel maps incoming `Activity` objects to `ChannelRequest` and renders a reply activity to the originating conversation. Proactive Activity delivery, active-channel routing, and all-linked fan-out are not v1 host semantics.
### Discord
`DiscordChannel` supports Discord messages, slash commands, and interactions as channel-native input.
The channel maps Discord-native user, guild, channel, thread, and interaction data into `ChannelRequest` metadata and a configured `ChannelSession.isolation_key`. It renders the result to the originating Discord response path.
The hook adapts channel-native input to the workflow's typed input. Checkpoints use the explicit workflow checkpoint location, not identity-link or delivery storage.
