Eduard van Valkenburg 6b822853eb Python: add hosting Channels sample apps (#5645)
* 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).

# Multi-channel hosting samples
End-to-end samples for serving an `agent-framework` agent (or workflow)
through one or more **channels** with `agent-framework-hosting`.
The general hosting plumbing lives in
[`agent-framework-hosting`](../../../packages/hosting); each channel is
its own package (`agent-framework-hosting-responses`,
`agent-framework-hosting-invocations`,
`agent-framework-hosting-telegram`, `agent-framework-hosting-activity-protocol`,
`agent-framework-hosting-entra`).
| Sample | What it shows | Packaging |
|---|---|---|
| [`local_responses/`](./local_responses) | The minimal shape: one agent + one `@tool` + `ResponsesChannel` + a single `run_hook` that strips caller-supplied options and forces a `reasoning` preset. | **Local only.** Start here to learn the run-hook seam. |
| [`local_responses_workflow/`](./local_responses_workflow) | A 4-step `Workflow` (typed `SloganBrief` intake → writer → legal → formatter) hosted behind **both** the Responses and Invocations channels via a shared `run_hook` that parses inbound text/JSON into the workflow's typed input. The host writes per-conversation checkpoints via `checkpoint_location=…`. Demonstrates workflow targets + structured input adaptation + multi-channel + resume-across-turns. Includes a `call_server.rest` file with REST examples for both endpoints. | **Local only.** |
| [`foundry_hosted_agent/`](./foundry_hosted_agent) | One Foundry agent, **Responses + Invocations only** — the minimal shape that is **runtime-compatible with the Foundry Hosted Agents platform**. | Ships with `Dockerfile` + `agent.yaml` + `agent.manifest.yaml` + `azure.yaml` so the same image runs locally **or** as a Foundry Hosted Agent (`azd up`). |
| [`local_telegram/`](./local_telegram) | Adds Telegram, a `@tool`, `FileHistoryProvider`, run hooks (per-user / per-chat session keying), extra Telegram commands, and `ResponseTarget` multicast. Runs under Hypercorn with multiple workers. | **Local only.** No Dockerfile / Foundry packaging. |
| [`local_identity_link/`](./local_identity_link) | Everything in `local_telegram/` plus Teams and the Entra identity-link sidecar (`/auth/start` + `/auth/callback`). Demonstrates linking a Telegram chat to an Entra user so multiple non-Entra channels can share one isolation key. | **Local only.** No Dockerfile / Foundry packaging. |
Each sample is fully self-contained — its own `pyproject.toml`, `uv.lock`,
server `app.py`, calling script(s), and `storage/` directory. Every
sample uses `[tool.uv.sources]` to wire its `agent-framework-hosting*`
dependencies to the
[`feature/python-hosting`](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/tree/feature/python-hosting)
branch of the upstream repo via git refs, so they install cleanly outside
the monorepo while the hosting packages are still pre-PyPI. Once those
packages publish, drop the `[tool.uv.sources]` block and let the
declared deps resolve from PyPI.
## Relationship to `../foundry-hosted-agents/`
The sibling [`../foundry-hosted-agents/`](../foundry-hosted-agents) directory
contains samples for the **`agent-framework-hosted`** stack — agents
that run **inside** the Foundry Hosted Agents platform using its
built-in protocol surface (Responses, Invocations, conversation store,
isolation, identity), with **no `agent-framework-hosting` package
involved**.
| Aspect | `af-hosting/` (this directory) | `foundry-hosted-agents/` |
|---|---|---|
| Server stack | `agent-framework-hosting` + per-channel packages (`-responses`, `-invocations`, `-telegram`, `-activity-protocol`, `-entra`) | `agent-framework-hosted` only — the Foundry Hosted Agents runtime owns the HTTP surface |
| Channels other than Responses / Invocations | Yes — Telegram, Activity Protocol (Teams), Entra identity-linking | No — the platform exposes Responses + Invocations only |
| Run target | Local Hypercorn (`local_responses/`, `local_telegram/`, `local_identity_link/`); Hosted Agents *or* local (`foundry_hosted_agent/`) | Hosted Agents *or* local container; targets the Hosted Agents platform contract |
| When to pick this | You need extra channels (Telegram/Teams via Activity Protocol/…), custom hosting middleware, or want to run outside the Foundry runtime | You only need Responses/Invocations and want zero hosting boilerplate, leveraging the Foundry-managed surface |
`foundry_hosted_agent/` is the bridge sample: it uses the
`agent-framework-hosting` stack but is packaged so the Foundry Hosted
Agents platform can run it as one of its own.
