Eduard van Valkenburg f93ceae43a Simplify memory sample to use session state (#4085)
- Rename UserNameProvider → UserMemoryProvider
- Use session state (state dict) instead of instance variables
- Use context.extend_instructions() instead of context.instructions.append()
- Use DEFAULT_SOURCE_ID class attribute
- Fix imports to use public agent_framework API
- Add session state inspection at end of sample

export AZURE_OPENAI_RESPONSES_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o"   # optional, defaults to gpt-4o

Samples

# File What you'll learn
1 01_hello_agent.py Create your first agent and run it (streaming and non-streaming).
2 02_add_tools.py Define a function tool with @tool and attach it to an agent.
3 03_multi_turn.py Keep conversation history across turns with AgentThread.
4 04_memory.py Add dynamic context with a custom ContextProvider.
5 05_first_workflow.py Chain executors into a workflow with edges.
6 06_host_your_agent.py Host a single agent with Azure Functions.

Run any sample with:
