Eduard van Valkenburg d5c07f2623 Python: feat(foundry): add to_prompt_agent / deploy_as_prompt_agent (experimental) (#5959)
* feat(foundry): add experimental to_prompt_agent converter

Adds `to_prompt_agent(agent)`, an experimental converter
(`ExperimentalFeature.TO_PROMPT_AGENT`) that turns an Agent Framework
`Agent` into a Foundry `PromptAgentDefinition` ready to publish via
`AIProjectClient.agents.create_version(...)`.

Behaviour:

* `agent.client` must be a `FoundryChatClient` (or subclass); otherwise
  `TypeError` is raised. The model deployment name is lifted from the
  bound client so the same Agent definition used for local runs can be
  published as a hosted prompt agent without restating the model.
* Foundry SDK tool instances (from `FoundryChatClient.get_*_tool()`) are
  passed through unchanged. AF `FunctionTool`s (and `@tool`-decorated
  callables) are emitted as Foundry `FunctionTool` declarations.
* Local AF MCP tools cannot be expressed in a `PromptAgentDefinition`;
  the converter raises `ValueError` and points at
  `FoundryChatClient.get_mcp_tool()` for hosted MCP servers.
* The converter walks both `agent.default_options["tools"]` and
  `agent.mcp_tools` because `normalize_tools()` splits local MCP off
  into its own list.

Re-exported through the `agent_framework.foundry` lazy-loading namespace
(updates both `__init__.py` and the `__init__.pyi` type stub).

Adds a portable-agent sample showing the same `Agent` driven through
both `agent.run(...)` and `to_prompt_agent(agent)`, and a README section
covering the new converter.

* fix(foundry): address review comments on to_prompt_agent converter

* Construct `PromptAgentDefinition` `Tool` from a dict via `**tool_item`
  unpacking rather than the positional Mapping constructor \u2014 cleaner and
  matches the typical Pydantic / Azure SDK pattern.
* Drop the redundant `isinstance(mcp_tool, MCPTool)` guard in
  `_convert_tools`; the parameter is already typed `Iterable[MCPTool]` so
  the second `raise` was unreachable. The remaining single `raise`
  fires for every entry as intended.

* fix(foundry): match Agent.__init__ model resolution in to_prompt_agent

* Read the model from `agent.default_options.get("model")` first,
  falling back to `agent.client.model`. This mirrors the order
  `Agent.__init__` uses (`_agents.py:740`) when assembling
  default_options, so the model the agent runs with is the same model
  the converter publishes \u2014 e.g. when the caller passes
  `default_options={"model": "..."}` to override the bound client.
* Updated the missing-model error message to point at both the client
  and the default_options paths.
* Added tests:
  * tool-only agent with no `instructions` produces a definition
    where `instructions` is `None` and is omitted from the dict
    payload (`Agent.__init__` strips None values from default_options
    before storing them).
  * `default_options['model']` wins over the bound client's model.
  * Fallback to client.model when default_options has no model.

* feat(foundry): add deploy_as_prompt_agent helper + samples

Adds `deploy_as_prompt_agent(agent)`, a convenience wrapper around
`to_prompt_agent` that reuses the bound FoundryChatClient's project
client to call `project_client.agents.create_version(...)`. Defaults
`agent_name` / `description` from `agent.name` / `agent.description`
so the Agent stays the single source of truth.

* Exposed from `agent_framework_foundry` and the lazy-loading
  `agent_framework.foundry` namespace (including the .pyi stub).
* Marked experimental with the existing
  `ExperimentalFeature.TO_PROMPT_AGENT` tag.
* Tests cover the happy path, name/description defaulting, explicit
  override, no-name error, metadata + description forwarding, extra
  kwargs passthrough, and the experimental metadata.

Samples:
* Renamed the existing sample to `creating_prompt_agents.py`, drops
  'portable' wording, presents `deploy_as_prompt_agent` first as the
  recommended path and `to_prompt_agent` + `AIProjectClient` as the
  two-step alternative, and adds a cleanup step that deletes the
  published agent so re-runs stay idempotent.
* New `using_prompt_agents.py` shows the end-to-end loop: deploy the
  agent, connect to it with `FoundryAgent` passing the same local
  `@tool` callable, run a query against the deployed prompt agent,
  then clean up.

README updated to introduce `deploy_as_prompt_agent` as the
recommended path and link to both runnable samples.

* fix(foundry): restore missing-model ValueError in to_prompt_agent

The check was accidentally dropped while reworking docstrings in the
previous commit. Test `test_to_prompt_agent_rejects_missing_model`
exercises this path and was failing on CI as a result.

* refactor(foundry): rename deploy_as_prompt_agent -> create_prompt_agent

Renames the helper across the foundry package, core lazy-loader stubs,
tests, README and samples. The new name better matches the action
performed (a prompt-agent definition is created in Foundry) and is
consistent with the surrounding ''create_*'' API surface.

* refactor(foundry): drop create_prompt_agent, enrich to_prompt_agent params

Remove the create_prompt_agent helper and consolidate on to_prompt_agent.
Expose every PromptAgentDefinition parameter that has either an Agent
Framework equivalent (sourced from default_options) or no equivalent
(accepted as a keyword argument).

* default_options-sourced (with kwarg overrides):
  temperature, top_p, string tool_choice
* kwarg-only Foundry knobs:
  reasoning, text, structured_inputs, rai_config, ToolChoiceParam tool_choice

Precedence is always: explicit keyword > default_options entry > unset.

Tests cover every path (defaults, default_options, kwargs, kwarg override).
Samples and README rewritten around the enriched to_prompt_agent.

* refactor(foundry): single source of truth for prompt-agent options

Stop duplicating the generation-parameter surface between FoundryChatOptions
and to_prompt_agent. Translate every field with an Agent Framework equivalent
(temperature, top_p, tool_choice, reasoning, response_format/text/verbosity)
from agent.default_options via a new RawFoundryChatClient helper
_prepare_prompt_agent_options. Only Foundry-specific fields with no AF
equivalent — structured_inputs and rai_config — remain as keyword arguments
on to_prompt_agent.

- tool_choice is dropped when there are no tools (mirrors _prepare_options
  semantics and avoids polluting tool-less prompt agents with Agent.__init__'s
  'auto' default).
- response_format Pydantic models route through
  openai.lib._parsing._responses.type_to_text_format_param; dict shapes go
  through the existing _prepare_response_and_text_format helper.
- default_options is not mutated; text dict is defensively copied.

Tests, README, and creating_prompt_agents.py sample updated to reflect the
new single-source model.

* docs(foundry): consolidate prompt-agent sample

Drop creating_prompt_agents.py (the publish-only variant) and rename
using_prompt_agents.py to foundry_prompt_agents.py so the single sample
covers the full convert -> publish -> connect -> run loop. Update the
README link list accordingly.

* docs(foundry): run local Agent + deployed agent in same sample

Add an agent.run() call against the local Agent before publishing, then run
the deployed prompt agent on the same query. Expand the docstring with a
compare-and-contrast covering runtime/latency, configurability, and
persistence/sharing differences between the two execution paths.

* test(foundry): cover conflicting response_format + text.format in to_prompt_agent

Exercises the ValueError path when a Pydantic response_format would overwrite
an explicit text.format mapping with a different shape. Lifts _chat_client.py
coverage from 89% to 90%.

* refactor(foundry): move _prepare_prompt_agent_options into _to_prompt_agent

Lift the translation helper off RawFoundryChatClient and into the
_to_prompt_agent module as a module-private function that takes the client
as its first argument. The chat client no longer needs to carry a method
whose only consumer is the prompt-agent converter, while still serving as
the source of the request-path helper (_prepare_response_and_text_format)
that the converter reuses for dict-shaped response_format values.

* docs(python): codify GA terminology + post-run docs review

Add two pieces of guidance to python/AGENTS.md:

* Terminology - reserve 'GA' for hosted services; use 'released' or 'stable'
  for Agent Framework code/features to match the feature-lifecycle stages.
* Maintaining Documentation - review AGENTS.md and skills at the end of every
  run and update any guidance the conversation made stale; before adding a
  new principle, ask the user to confirm it should be captured.

Also pulls in a docstring fix in foundry_prompt_agents.py that swaps the
stray 'GA' for 'released', applying the new terminology rule.

* address PR review: strict=True default, Tool._deserialize dispatch, sample cleanup safety

- FunctionTool published as strict=True so the server-side schema validation
  matches what the local FoundryAgent(tools=[same_callable]) dispatcher
  enforces. AF FunctionTool has no 'strict' attribute, so the safer default
  is used uniformly instead of silently downgrading to a permissive contract.
- _validate_mapping_tool now dispatches through ProjectsTool._deserialize so
  dict-shaped tools rehydrate to the concrete subclass (FunctionTool,
  WebSearchTool, ...) via the 'type' discriminator instead of returning a
  generic Tool. Added a test that asserts isinstance(WebSearchTool) and a
  new test for the function-typed dict path.
- foundry_prompt_agents.py sample now wraps credential + project client in
  async with and the create_version / run flow in try/finally so a failure
  on connect or run still deletes the published prompt agent rather than
  leaving an orphaned, billable resource in the user's Foundry project.

* fix(ci): correct linkspector ignorePattern typo (./pulls -> ./pull)

GitHub PR URLs use the singular segment /pull/N (compare to /issues/N
for issues). The existing './pulls' ignore pattern never matched
anything as a result, so legitimately stale PR links (e.g. PRs deleted
from forks) surface as linkspector failures on unrelated PRs.

This is the same convention the './issues' rule above already follows.
Fixes the markdown-link-check failure on a dangling link in
dotnet/src/Microsoft.Agents.AI.DurableTask/CHANGELOG.md.
