Eduard van Valkenburg acc49196c1 Python: updated integration tests and guidance (#4181)
* updated integration tests and guidance

* fixed merge test

* updated integration tests

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

Only one --dist mode can be active at a time; the second value silently
overrides the first. Keep --dist worksteal (dynamic load balancing) and
remove the redundant --dist loadfile from all workflow files and
pyproject.toml configs.

* docs: add keep-in-sync notes for merge and integration test workflows

Both python-merge-tests.yml and python-integration-tests.yml share the
same parallel job structure. Added sync reminders in workflow file
comments, the python-testing SKILL.md, and CODING_STANDARD.md.

* refactor: remove RUN_INTEGRATION_TESTS flag

Integration test gating now uses two mechanisms:
- `@pytest.mark.integration` for test selection via `-m` filtering
- `skip_if_*_disabled` for credential/service availability checks

The RUN_INTEGRATION_TESTS env var was redundant since the marker handles
selection and the skip decorators already check for actual credentials.

* fix: sync missing env vars from merge-tests to integration-tests

Add OPENAI_EMBEDDINGS_MODEL_ID and AZURE_OPENAI_EMBEDDING_DEPLOYMENT_NAME
to python-integration-tests.yml to match python-merge-tests.yml.

* fix: remove remaining RUN_INTEGRATION_TESTS from embedding tests and docs

Missed test_openai_embedding_client.py and vector-stores README in the
earlier cleanup.

* set functions tests to 3.10

Agent Framework Orchestrations

Orchestration patterns for Microsoft Agent Framework. This package provides high-level builders for common multi-agent workflow patterns.

Installation

pip install agent-framework-orchestrations --pre

Orchestration Patterns

SequentialBuilder

Chain agents/executors in sequence, passing conversation context along:

from agent_framework.orchestrations import SequentialBuilder

workflow = SequentialBuilder(participants=[agent1, agent2, agent3]).build()

ConcurrentBuilder

Fan-out to multiple agents in parallel, then aggregate results:

from agent_framework.orchestrations import ConcurrentBuilder

workflow = ConcurrentBuilder(participants=[agent1, agent2, agent3]).build()

HandoffBuilder

Decentralized agent routing where agents decide handoff targets:

from agent_framework.orchestrations import HandoffBuilder

workflow = (
    HandoffBuilder()
    .participants([triage, billing, support])
    .with_start_agent(triage)
    .build()
)

GroupChatBuilder

Orchestrator-directed multi-agent conversations:

from agent_framework.orchestrations import GroupChatBuilder

workflow = GroupChatBuilder(
    participants=[agent1, agent2],
    selection_func=my_selector,
).build()

MagenticBuilder

Sophisticated multi-agent orchestration using the Magentic One pattern:

from agent_framework.orchestrations import MagenticBuilder

workflow = MagenticBuilder(
    participants=[researcher, writer, reviewer],
    manager_agent=manager_agent,
).build()
