+### Authentication
+
+| Problem | Cause | Fix |
+|---------|-------|-----|
+| Authentication errors when using Azure credentials | Not signed in to Azure CLI | Run `az login` before starting your app |

+
+The samples typically read configuration from environment variables. Common required variables:
+
+| Variable | Used by | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|---------|

 ### Implementation Notes

 #### Conversation ID Consistency

-We should introduce a separate `ConversationIdPersistingChatClient`, middleware which allows us to
-persist response `ConversationIds` during the FICC loop. This could be used with or without
-`ServiceStoredSimulatingChatClient`.
+When `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence` is enabled, the `PerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistingChatClient`
+decorator also updates `session.ConversationId` after each service call. This handles two scenarios:
+
+1. **Framework-managed chat history** — the decorator sets a sentinel `ConversationId` on the response
+   so that `FunctionInvokingChatClient` treats the conversation as service-managed (clearing accumulated
+   history between iterations and not injecting duplicate `FunctionCallContent` during approval processing).
+
+2. **Service-stored chat history** — when the service returns a real `ConversationId`, the decorator
+   updates `session.ConversationId` immediately after each service call, rather than deferring the update
+   to the end of the run. This ensures intermediate ConversationId changes are captured even if the
+   process is interrupted mid-loop.
+
+For some service-stored scenarios (e.g., the Conversations API with the Responses API), there is only
+one thread with one ID, so every service call returns the same ConversationId and this per-call update
+makes no practical difference. Enabling `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence` ensures consistent
+per-service-call behavior across all service types regardless of how they manage ConversationIds.

+---
+
+# verify-samples Tool
+
+The `verify-samples` project (`dotnet/eng/verify-samples/`) is an automated tool that runs sample projects and verifies their output using deterministic checks and AI-powered verification.
+
+## Running verify-samples
+
+**Important:** By default, samples must be pre-built before running verify-samples. Build the solution first, or pass `--build` to build samples during the run:
+
+```bash
+cd dotnet
+dotnet build agent-framework-dotnet.slnx -f net10.0
+```
+
+Then run verify-samples:
+
+```bash
+# Run all samples across all categories
+dotnet run --project eng/verify-samples -- --log results.log --csv results.csv
+
+# Run a specific category
+dotnet run --project eng/verify-samples -- --category 02-agents --log results.log
+
+# Run specific samples by name
+dotnet run --project eng/verify-samples -- Agent_Step02_StructuredOutput Agent_Step09_AsFunctionTool
+
+# Control parallelism (default 8)
+dotnet run --project eng/verify-samples -- --parallel 8 --log results.log
+
+# Build samples during run (skips the need for a prior build step)
+# This may cause build conflicts as multiple samples are built in parallel, so use with caution
+dotnet run --project eng/verify-samples -- --build --log results.log
+
+# Combine options
+dotnet run --project eng/verify-samples -- --category 03-workflows --parallel 4 --log results.log --csv results.csv --md results.md
+```
+
+### Required Environment Variables
+
+The tool itself needs:
+- `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT` — for the AI verification agent
+- `AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME` (optional, defaults to `gpt-5-mini`)
+
+Individual samples require their own env vars (e.g., `AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT`). The tool automatically checks and skips samples with missing env vars.
+
+### Output Files
+
+- `--log results.log` — detailed per-sample log with stdout/stderr, AI reasoning, and a summary
+- `--csv results.csv` — tabular summary with Sample, ProjectPath, Status, FailedChecks, and Failures columns
+- `--md results.md` — Markdown summary with results table and collapsible failure details (suitable for GitHub PR comments)
+
+## Sample Categories
+
+Definitions are in the `dotnet/eng/verify-samples/` directory:
+
+| Category | Config File | Registered Key |
+|----------|-------------|----------------|
+| 01-get-started | `GetStartedSamples.cs` | `01-get-started` |
+| 02-agents | `AgentsSamples.cs` | `02-agents` |
+| 03-workflows | `WorkflowSamples.cs` | `03-workflows` |
+
+Categories are registered in `VerifyOptions.cs` in the `s_sampleSets` dictionary.
+
+## SampleDefinition Properties
+
+Each sample is defined as a `SampleDefinition` in the appropriate config file. Key properties:
+
+```csharp
+new SampleDefinition
+{
+    // Required: Display name for the sample
+    Name = "Agent_Step02_StructuredOutput",
+
+    // Required: Relative path from dotnet/ to the sample project directory
+    ProjectPath = "samples/02-agents/Agents/Agent_Step02_StructuredOutput",
+
+    // Environment variables the sample requires (throws if missing)
+    RequiredEnvironmentVariables = ["AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"],
+
+    // Environment variables with defaults that would prompt on console if unset
+    OptionalEnvironmentVariables = ["AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME"],
+
+    // Skip this sample with a reason (for structural issues only)
+    SkipReason = null, // or "Requires external service X."
+
+    // Deterministic checks: substrings that must appear in stdout
+    MustContain = ["=== Section Header ==="],
+
+    // Substrings that must NOT appear in stdout
+    MustNotContain = [],
+
+    // If true, only MustContain checks are used (no AI verification)
+    IsDeterministic = false,
+
+    // AI verification: natural-language descriptions of expected output
+    // Each entry describes one aspect to verify independently
+    ExpectedOutputDescription =
+    [
+        "The output should show structured person information with Name, Age, and Occupation fields.",
+        "The output should not contain error messages or stack traces.",
+    ],
+
+    // Stdin inputs to feed to the sample (for interactive samples)
+    Inputs = ["Y", "Y", "Y"],
+
+    // Delay between stdin inputs in ms (default 2000, increase for LLM calls between inputs)
+    InputDelayMs = 3000,
+}
+```
+
+## How to Add a New Sample Definition
+
+1. **Check the sample's Program.cs** to understand:
+   - What environment variables it reads (look for `GetEnvironmentVariable`)
+   - Whether it needs stdin input (look for `Console.ReadLine`, `Application.GetInput`)
+   - Whether it has an external loop (look for `EXIT` patterns in YAML workflows)
+   - What output it produces (section headers, markers, expected behavior)
+   - Whether it exits on its own or runs as a server
+
+2. **Choose the right verification strategy:**
+   - **Deterministic** (`IsDeterministic = true`): Use `MustContain` for samples with fixed output strings. No AI verification.
+   - **AI-verified** (default): Use `ExpectedOutputDescription` with semantic descriptions. Write expectations that are flexible enough for non-deterministic LLM output.
+   - **Both**: Use `MustContain` for fixed markers AND `ExpectedOutputDescription` for LLM-generated content.
+
+3. **Set `SkipReason` only for structural issues:**
+   - Web servers that don't exit
+   - Multi-process client/server architectures
+   - Samples requiring external infrastructure (MCP servers you can't reach, Docker, etc.)
+   - Do NOT skip for missing env vars — the tool checks those dynamically.
+
+4. **For interactive samples, provide `Inputs`:**
+   - Samples using `Application.GetInput(args)` need one initial input
+   - Samples with `Console.ReadLine()` approval loops need `"Y"` inputs
+   - YAML workflows with `externalLoop` need `"EXIT"` as the last input
+   - Set `InputDelayMs` to 3000-8000ms for samples with LLM calls between inputs
+
+5. **Add the definition** to the appropriate config file (e.g., `AgentsSamples.cs`) in the `All` list.
+
+6. **Register new categories** (if needed) in `VerifyOptions.cs` `s_sampleSets` dictionary.
+
+### Writing Good ExpectedOutputDescription
+
+- Write descriptions that are **semantically flexible** — LLM output varies between runs
+- Each array entry should describe **one independent aspect** to verify
+- Always include `"The output should not contain error messages or stack traces."` as the last entry
+- Avoid exact wording expectations — use "should mention", "should contain information about", "should show"
+- Bad: `"The output should say 'The weather in Amsterdam is cloudy with a high of 15°C'"`
+- Good: `"The output should contain weather information about Amsterdam mentioning cloudy weather with a high of 15°C."`
+
+### Example: Simple LLM Sample
+
+```csharp
+new SampleDefinition
+{
+    Name = "Agent_With_AzureOpenAIChatCompletion",
+    ProjectPath = "samples/02-agents/AgentProviders/Agent_With_AzureOpenAIChatCompletion",
+    RequiredEnvironmentVariables = ["AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"],
+    OptionalEnvironmentVariables = ["AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME"],
+    ExpectedOutputDescription =
+    [
+        "The output should contain a joke about a pirate.",
+        "The output should not contain error messages or stack traces.",
+    ],
+},
+```
+
+### Example: Deterministic Sample
+
+```csharp
+new SampleDefinition
+{
+    Name = "Workflow_Declarative_GenerateCode",
+    ProjectPath = "samples/03-workflows/Declarative/GenerateCode",
+    IsDeterministic = true,
+    MustContain = ["WORKFLOW: Parsing", "WORKFLOW: Defined"],
+    ExpectedOutputDescription = ["The output should show a YAML workflow being parsed and C# code being generated from it."],
+},
+```
+
+### Example: Interactive Sample with Approval Loop
+
+```csharp
+new SampleDefinition
+{
+    Name = "FoundryAgent_Hosted_MCP",
+    ProjectPath = "samples/02-agents/ModelContextProtocol/FoundryAgent_Hosted_MCP",

+    OptionalEnvironmentVariables = ["AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME"],
+    Inputs = ["Y", "Y", "Y", "Y", "Y"],
+    InputDelayMs = 5000,
+    ExpectedOutputDescription = ["The output should show an agent using the Microsoft Learn MCP tool with approval prompts."],
+},
+```
+
+### Example: Declarative Workflow with External Loop
+
+```csharp
+new SampleDefinition
+{

+    Inputs = ["What are today's specials?", "EXIT"],
+    InputDelayMs = 8000,
+    ExpectedOutputDescription = ["The output should show a workflow calling function tools to answer a question about restaurant specials."],
+},
+```

 ## Key Conventions

- **Encoding**: All new files must be saved with UTF-8 encoding with BOM (Byte Order Mark). This is required for `dotnet format` to work correctly.
+- **Command output capture**: When running `dotnet build`, `dotnet test`, `dotnet format`, or similar commands, redirect output to a temp file first (e.g., `dotnet build --tl:off 2>&1 | Out-File $env:TEMP\build.log`), then analyze the file as needed. This avoids re-running expensive commands when the initial analysis misses something.
+- **Encoding**: All new files must be saved with UTF-8 encoding with BOM (Byte Order Mark). This is required for `dotnet format` to work correctly. When using PowerShell `Set-Content`, always pass `-Encoding UTF8BOM` to preserve the BOM (e.g., `Set-Content $file $content -NoNewline -Encoding UTF8BOM`).
 - **Copyright header**: `// Copyright (c) Microsoft. All rights reserved.` at top of all `.cs` files
 - **XML docs**: Required for all public methods and classes
 - **Async**: Use `Async` suffix for methods returning `Task`/`ValueTask`
 - **Private classes**: Should be `sealed` unless subclassed

+# Mixed Agent Skills Sample (Advanced)
+
+This sample demonstrates an **advanced scenario**: combining multiple skill types in a single agent using `AgentSkillsProviderBuilder`.
+
+> **Tip:** For simpler, single-source scenarios, use the `AgentSkillsProvider` constructors directly — see [Step01](../Agent_Step01_FileBasedSkills/) (file-based), [Step02](../Agent_Step02_CodeDefinedSkills/) (code-defined), or [Step03](../Agent_Step03_ClassBasedSkills/) (class-based).
+
+## What it demonstrates
+
+- Combining file-based, code-defined, and class-based skills in one provider
+- Using `UseFileSkill` and `UseSkill` on the builder to register different skill types
+- Aggregating skills from all sources into a single provider with automatic deduplication
+
+## When to use `AgentSkillsProviderBuilder`
+
+The builder is intended for advanced scenarios where the simple `AgentSkillsProvider` constructors are insufficient:
+
+| Scenario | Builder method |
+|----------|---------------|
+| **Mixed skill types** — combine file-based, code-defined, and class-based skills | `UseFileSkill` + `UseSkill` / `UseSkills` |
+| **Multiple file script runners** — use different script runners for different file skill directories | `UseFileSkill` / `UseFileSkills` with per-source `scriptRunner` |
+| **Skill filtering** — include/exclude skills using a predicate | `UseFilter(predicate)` |
+
+## Skills Included
+
+### unit-converter (file-based)
+
+Discovered from `skills/unit-converter/SKILL.md` on disk. Converts miles↔km, pounds↔kg.
+
+### volume-converter (code-defined)
+
+Defined as `AgentInlineSkill` in `Program.cs`. Converts gallons↔liters.
+
+### temperature-converter (class-based)
+
+Defined as `TemperatureConverterSkill` class in `Program.cs`. Converts °F↔°C↔K.
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- .NET 10.0 SDK
+- Azure OpenAI endpoint with a deployed model
+
+### Setup
+
+```bash
+export AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://your-endpoint.openai.azure.com/"

+2. Run the `scripts/convert-units.py` script with `--value <number> --factor <factor>` (e.g. `--value 26.2 --factor 1.60934`)
+3. Present the converted value clearly with both units
