docs: replace stale observability migration guide with current PR's only relevant migration

The old guide documented the move away from setup_observability(otlp_endpoint=...)
which was an earlier-release API change unrelated to this PR and stale enough that
it's more confusing than helpful at this point. Replace it with a short note on the
single migration this PR introduces: callers of
enable_instrumentation(enable_sensitive_data=True) should switch to
enable_sensitive_telemetry(). Cross-link to the Disabling instrumentation section
for the rare 'force on without enabling sensitive data' use case where
enable_instrumentation() still applies.

----
-name: pull-requests
-description: >
-  Guidance for creating pull requests and handling PR review comments in the
-  Agent Framework repository. Use this when writing a PR description (filling out
-  the PR template) or when responding to and resolving review comments on an
-  existing PR.
----
-
-# Pull Request Workflow
-
-This skill covers two tasks: (1) writing a high-quality PR description, and
-(2) handling review comments on an existing PR.
-
-## 1. Writing the PR description
-
-Always follow the repository PR template at
-[`.github/pull_request_template.md`](../../pull_request_template.md). Keep its
-exact structure and headings. Fill every section:
-
-### `### Motivation & Context`
-Explain *why* the change is needed: the problem it solves and the scenario it
-contributes to. Describe the net change relative to `main` — this is implied, so
-do **not** spell out "vs main" explicitly.
-
-### `### Description & Review Guide`
-Describe the changes, the overall approach, and the design. Answer the three
-prompts:
-- **What are the major changes?**
-- **What is the impact of these changes?**
-- **What do you want reviewers to focus on?** — This item is for **human
-  reviewers only**. Automated/AI reviewers must ignore it and review the entire
-  change rather than narrowing scope to it.
-
-### `### Related Issue`
-Link the issue the PR fixes using a GitHub closing keyword (`Fixes #123` /
-`Closes #123`) so it closes automatically on merge. A PR with no linked issue may
-be closed regardless of how valid the change is. Before opening, confirm there is
-no other open PR for the same issue; if there is, explain how this PR differs.
-
-### `### Contribution Checklist`
-Check every item that applies. For the breaking-change item:
-- Leave **"This is not a breaking change."** checked for the common case.
-- If the change **is** breaking, add the `breaking change` label **or** put
-  `[BREAKING]` in the title prefix, before or after a language prefix such as
-  `Python:` or `.NET:` — workflows keep the label and the title prefix in sync
-  automatically (see `.github/workflows/label-title-prefix.yml` and
-  `.github/workflows/label-pr.yml`).
-
-### Do not
-- Do **not** add ad-hoc sections such as "Validation" or "Tests run"; CI/CD and
-  the checklist already cover validation status.
-- Do **not** remove or reorder the template's headings.
-
-### Creating the PR
-Open new PRs as **drafts** until they are ready for review. Example:
-
-```bash
-gh pr create --repo microsoft/agent-framework --base main \
-  --head <your-fork-owner>:<branch> --draft \
-  --title "<concise title>" --body "<body following the template>"
-```
-
-## 2. Handling review comments
-
-When a PR receives review comments, follow this sequence — **do not start editing
-code before the user has reviewed the plan**:
-
-1. **Review the comments.** Read every review comment and thread on the PR,
-   including inline code comments and general review summaries.
-2. **Make a plan.** Produce a concrete plan describing how each comment will be
-   addressed (or why it should not be, with reasoning).
-3. **Let the user review the plan.** Present the plan and wait for the user's
-   approval or adjustments before implementing anything.
-4. **Implement.** Make the agreed changes.
-5. **Reply to every comment.** Add a reply to **all** comments explaining how it
-   was addressed (or the agreed outcome) — leave none unanswered.
-6. **Resolve resolved threads.** Mark a review thread as resolved only when the
-   comment has actually been addressed.
-
-### Useful commands
-
-List review comments and threads:
-
-```bash
-# Inline review comments
-gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/comments
-
-# Review threads with resolution state (GraphQL)
-gh api graphql -f query='
-  query($owner:String!,$repo:String!,$pr:Int!){
-    repository(owner:$owner,name:$repo){
-      pullRequest(number:$pr){
-        reviewThreads(first:100){
-          nodes{ id isResolved comments(first:50){ nodes{ id body author{login} } } }
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }' -F owner={owner} -F repo={repo} -F pr={pr}
-```
-
-Reply to an inline review comment:
-
-```bash
-gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/comments/{comment_id}/replies \
-  -f body="Addressed in <commit>: <explanation>"
-```
-
-Resolve a review thread (needs the thread node id from the GraphQL query above):
-
-```bash
-gh api graphql -f query='
-  mutation($threadId:ID!){
-    resolveReviewThread(input:{threadId:$threadId}){ thread{ isResolved } }
-  }' -F threadId={thread_id}
-```

+          ### Motivation and Context
+
+          This automated update refreshes Python dev dependency pins across the workspace and reruns the repo validation gates before opening a pull request.
+
+          ### Description
+
+          - Ran `uv run poe upgrade-dev-dependencies`
+          - Refreshed dev dependency pins in workspace `pyproject.toml` files
+          - Refreshed `python/uv.lock` with `uv lock --upgrade`
+          - Reinstalled from the frozen lockfile and reran `check`, `typing`, and `test`
+
+          ### Contribution Checklist
+
+          - [x] The code builds clean without any errors or warnings
+          - [x] The PR follows the [Contribution Guidelines](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)
+          - [x] All unit tests pass, and I have added new tests where possible
+          - [ ] **Is this a breaking change?** If yes, add "[BREAKING]" prefix to the title of the PR.

-# Hosted session identity context for Foundry Hosting
-
-> **Superseded by [ADR-0030](0030-hosted-platform-context-agentserver-2.0.md).** `Azure.AI.AgentServer.*` 2.0.0 (responses protocol `2.0.0`) replaced `ResponseContext.Isolation` (`UserIsolationKey` / `ChatIsolationKey`, headers `x-agent-user-isolation-key` / `x-agent-chat-isolation-key`) with `ResponseContext.PlatformContext` (`UserIdKey` / `CallId`, headers `x-agent-user-id` / `x-agent-foundry-call-id`). The chat isolation key was removed and `HostedSessionContext` is now user-only. This ADR is retained as the historical record of the original design.
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-Server-hosted Foundry agents need a way to scope per-user state (most notably `FoundryMemoryProvider` memories) by the end user that initiated the request. The Foundry platform already injects `x-agent-user-isolation-key` and `x-agent-chat-isolation-key` headers on every Responses request, but the agent-framework hosting layer did not surface those values to `AIContextProvider` instances. The provider's `stateInitializer` only received an `AgentSession?` with no identity attached, so per-user scoping was impossible without out-of-band plumbing.
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- Memory and any future user-private context must be partitioned per end user without per-sample boilerplate.
-- The identity must be **read-only** from the perspective of `AIContextProvider`s, so a buggy or hostile provider cannot escalate or leak across users.
-- The persisted session must validate against the live request on every resume to defend against session-id leak and in-process tampering.
-- The change must work for every existing hosted-agent type (`ChatClientAgent`, `FoundryAgent`, future ones) without per-type refactoring of cast-heavy code paths in `Microsoft.Agents.AI`.
-- Local Docker debugging must remain possible when the platform headers are absent.
-
-## Considered Options
-
-1. **`HostedSessionContext` stored in `AgentSessionStateBag`, exposed via a public read accessor and an `internal` setter.** Hosting writes once on session creation and validates on every resume.
-2. **Specialised `HostedAgentSession : AgentSession` wrapper** that carries `UserId`/`ChatId` properties, with `GetService<ChatClientAgentSession>()` as the unwrap escape hatch.
-3. **New property on `AgentSession` base class** (`HostedSessionContext? HostedContext { get; internal set; }`).
-4. **AsyncLocal middleware** that reads the headers and stuffs them into a per-request `AsyncLocal<HostedSessionContext>` consumed by the provider.
-
-For the source of identity:
-- A. The platform-injected `IsolationContext` exposed by `ResponseContext.Isolation` (typed `UserIsolationKey`/`ChatIsolationKey`).
-- B. The OpenAI Responses spec's top-level `request.User` field.
-- C. A custom HTTP header `x-client-user`.
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-**Option 1** was chosen for the storage shape, sourced from **Option A** (`ResponseContext.Isolation`).
-
-Rationale:
-
-- **Wrapper rejected (Option 2).** `ChatClientAgentSession` is `sealed` and `ChatClientAgent` rejects any other session type via direct `is not ChatClientAgentSession` checks at multiple call sites. Wrapping would force non-trivial refactors across `Microsoft.Agents.AI` and a corresponding repeat for every other agent type.
-- **Base-class property rejected (Option 3).** Leaks "hosted" semantics into the universal `AgentSession` abstraction used by Durable, A2A, and CopilotStudio agents that have no notion of a hosted user.
-- **AsyncLocal rejected (Option 4).** Surfaces the concept only locally, requires every consumer to re-implement the bridge, and cannot be enforced as read-only.
-- **`request.User` rejected (Option B).** Set by the caller, not the platform. Forging it client-side trivially defeats per-user partitioning.
-- **`x-client-user` rejected (Option C).** Non-standard, requires custom HTTP plumbing, and duplicates the platform-provided isolation contract.
-
-Implementation summary in `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.Hosting`:
-
-| Type | Visibility | Purpose |
-|---|---|---|
-| `HostedSessionContext` | public sealed | Captures `UserId` and `ChatId` (both required, non-whitespace). |
-| `HostedSessionContextExtensions.GetHostedContext` | public | Read accessor for `AIContextProvider`s. |
-| `HostedSessionContextExtensions.SetHostedContext` | internal | Writer reserved for the hosting assembly. Backed by `AgentSessionStateBag` under a well-known key for serialisation. |
-| `HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider` (abstract) | public | DI-resolvable factory. Async signature: `ValueTask<HostedSessionContext?> GetKeysAsync(ResponseContext, CreateResponse, CancellationToken)`. |
-| `PlatformHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider` | internal sealed | Default implementation. Maps `context.Isolation.UserIsolationKey` and `context.Isolation.ChatIsolationKey`. Returns `null` when either is absent. |
-
-Behaviour added to `AgentFrameworkResponseHandler.CreateAsync`:
-
-1. Resolve `HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider` from DI; fall back to `PlatformHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider`.
-2. Call `GetKeysAsync(context, request, cancellationToken)`. A `null` result throws `InvalidOperationException` (becomes 500). A null/whitespace `UserId` or `ChatId` is rejected by `HostedSessionContext`'s constructor.
-3. Branch on the **session's existing context**, not on whether a `conversation_id` was supplied:
-   - **No session (`session is null`):** nothing to stamp; skip.
-   - **Session present but un-stamped (`GetHostedContext() is null`):** treat as fresh. This covers both newly-created sessions and pre-existing sessions whose `conversation_id` was provisioned externally (e.g. via `conversations.CreateProjectConversationAsync()`) before the first hosted-agent request. Stamp the resolved identity now.
-   - **Session present with stamped context:** strict resume. The persisted `UserId` and `ChatId` must equal the resolved values exactly. Mismatch throws `ResponsesApiException` with status 403 and body `Hosted session identity context mismatch`.
-
-## Consequences
-
-Positive:
-
-- Per-user memory partitioning works out of the box for any agent that consumes a `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.FoundryMemoryProvider` configured to read `session.GetHostedContext().UserId`.
-- Cross-user session-id leak and in-process tampering of the persisted identity both surface as a 403 with a deliberately uninformative body.
-- The identity is opaque to the framework, matching the platform's semantics. The framework never inspects user identity; the `IsolationContext` keys are pre-partitioned per agent.
-
-Negative:
-
-- Every existing hosted sample fails locally without a `HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider` registered, because the platform headers are absent outside the platform. Mitigated by shipping `Hosted_Shared_Contributor_Setup` with `DevTemporaryLocalSessionIsolationKeyProvider` and `AddDevTemporaryLocalContributorSetup`, and migrating all 9 existing responses samples.
-- An attacker who can plant an un-stamped session under a victim's `conversation_id` *before* the victim's first hosted-agent request would be stamped with the attacker's identity on that first request. This is not a regression vs. behaviour without this contract, and is mitigated in practice because the `conversation_id` namespace is allocated by the platform per project. Once a session is stamped, the strict equality check fully defends the resume path.
-
-## Out of scope
-
-- Per-request `User` field on `CreateResponse` is intentionally not consumed; only the platform `IsolationContext` headers carry trustworthy identity.
-- Generic (non-Foundry) hosting layers can re-define an equivalent type if needed; nothing in this ADR is moved into `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Hosting` because `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.Hosting` does not depend on it.
-- HMAC tamper signatures over the persisted context are not implemented; comparison against `ResponseContext.Isolation` on every request is sufficient because the platform sets those headers at the trust boundary.

-# Python protocol helpers and optional execution state
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-Agent Framework needs to help applications expose agents and workflows over external protocols such as OpenAI
-Responses, Telegram, Activity Protocol, and future transports.
-
-FastAPI, Starlette, Azure Functions, Django, Telegram SDKs, Bot Framework SDKs, and other app frameworks already own
-route registration, dependency injection, middleware, authentication, background tasks, lifecycle, and native client
-calls. Agent Framework should not duplicate those surfaces unless a specific hosting environment requires it.
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- Keep the released surface small enough to explain without first teaching a channel framework.
-- Provide reusable Agent Framework run translation that works with FastAPI, Django, and other web frameworks.
-- Let app/framework code own route declaration, auth, middleware, native SDK clients, command handling, and background
-  work.
-- Keep stateful execution support explicit: session lookup/storage and workflow checkpoint lookup/storage may still need
-  a small AF-owned home.
-
-## Considered Options
-
-1. Create protocol-specific hosts.
-2. Ship a full host/channel framework with route contribution and channel hooks.
-3. Ship protocol conversion helpers plus optional execution state.
-
-### 1. Create protocol-specific hosts
-
-- Good: no new shared abstraction.
-- Neutral: each protocol host can evolve independently.
-- Bad: every package reinvents AF input/result mapping, session-key conventions, and stateful execution helpers.
-
-### 2. Ship a full host/channel framework
-
-- Good: one object can assemble routes, channels, session handling, hooks, and lifecycle callbacks.
-- Good: app code using the supported host shape can be short.
-- Bad: the framework owns concerns already handled by web frameworks, protocol SDKs and/or other services.
-- Bad: users must understand `Channel`, contribution, hook, and host-dispatch concepts before they can see how a request
-  becomes `agent.run(...)`.
-- Bad: the abstraction is hard to reuse outside the chosen web framework.
-
-### 3. Ship protocol helpers plus optional execution state
-
-- Good: protocol packages provide the Agent Framework run value directly: `<protocol>_to_run(...)` and
-  `<protocol>_from_run(...)` style helpers.
-- Good: apps keep native FastAPI, Starlette, Azure Functions, Django, Bot Framework, or Telegram SDK code.
-- Good: helper functions can be tested without a web framework app or host pipeline.
-- Good: small state objects can still own target-coupled state: `AgentState` pairs an agent target with a `SessionStore`,
-  and `WorkflowState` resolves a workflow target while reusing the existing `CheckpointStorage` abstraction.
-- Good: provides maximum configurability in handling input and outputs (outside of the conversions)
-- Bad: building a first iteration of a new Host is more verbose.
-- Bad: samples show more explicit route/client code than a fully assembled channel host.
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-Chosen option: **3. Ship protocol helpers plus optional execution state**.
-
-Protocol packages own:
-
-- parsing protocol-native input into Agent Framework run input and options;
-- rendering `AgentResponse`, `AgentResponseUpdate`, workflow results, or workflow updates back into protocol-native
-  response/event payloads;
-- protocol-specific isolation/session id helper functions when useful, such as `telegram_session_id(update)`;
-- protocol-specific typing/update event helpers where the protocol has a native concept.
-
-Application or web-framework code owns:
-
-- HTTP route declaration and route grouping;
-- dependency injection;
-- authentication and authorization;
-- middleware;
-- background tasks and webhook acknowledgement policy;
-- native protocol SDK clients and outbound calls;
-- command registration and command dispatch;
-- request/response status codes and framework-specific error handling;
-- choosing the isolation/session id source for the current deployment and route.
-
-The application builder can make the server exactly as they see fit, but this is outside the responsibilities of this proposed scheme.
-This might include implementing other known API surfaces from vendors like OpenAI, such as creating conversations, vector stores, deleting things, etc.
-If they want they can build the full OpenAI API, but it will include code that does not rely on agent-framework-hosting, which is fine.
-They are responsible for what they expose.
-
-The optional execution-state helpers, if provided, are limited to shared execution state:
-
-- `AgentState`: one `SupportsAgentRun`-compatible target plus a `SessionStore`;
-- `WorkflowState`: one `Workflow`, `WorkflowBuilder`-shaped builder, orchestration builder, or workflow factory;
-- `SessionStore`: plain async storage (`get` / `set` / `delete`) by an app-selected id.
-
-The store does not create sessions. `AgentState` provides the target-aware `get_or_create_session(...)` helper because
-only the state object has both the store and the resolved agent target. Workflow checkpointing should use the existing
-`CheckpointStorage` abstraction directly; app/state code may keep a small cursor (`session_id -> checkpoint_id`) when it
-needs to resume a workflow for a session.
-
-These objects are **not** app objects, channel registries, or route owners. They do not own FastAPI/Starlette setup,
-route contribution, protocol dispatch, command projection, or native SDK calls.
-
-### Helper naming and families
-
-Helpers should be protocol-specific, not generic. Avoid a generic `protocol_to_run(...)` name in public samples because it
-hides the protocol-specific contract behind a second abstraction.
-
-Protocol packages should consider these helper families. This table is a set of examples, not a required protocol or
-checklist. Not every protocol needs every helper, but when a protocol has the concept the naming should stay consistent:
-
-| Helper family | Shape | Purpose |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| Run conversion | `<protocol>_to_run(...)` | Convert one protocol-native call/update/request into `Agent.run` or `Workflow.run` values. |
-| Final rendering | `<protocol>_from_run(...)` | Convert a final `AgentResponse` / workflow result into protocol-native response payloads or operations. |
-| Stream rendering | `<protocol>_from_streaming_run(...)` | Convert `ResponseStream` / workflow updates into protocol-native events or operations. |
-| Session id extraction | `<protocol>_session_id(...)` | Extract the protocol's natural continuation/partition key from the call, if present. |
-| Command/action parsing | `<protocol>_command(...)` | Parse a protocol-native command/action/operation name without deciding app policy. |
-
-Examples:
-
-- `responses_to_run(...)`, `responses_from_run(...)`, `responses_from_streaming_run(...)`,
-  `responses_session_id(...)`;
-- `telegram_to_run(...)`, `telegram_from_run(...)`, `telegram_from_streaming_run(...)`,
-  `telegram_session_id(...)`, `telegram_command(...)`;
-- `activity_to_run(...)`, `activity_from_run(...)`, `activity_session_id(...)`, `activity_command(...)`;
-- `discord_to_run(...)`, `discord_from_run(...)`, `discord_session_id(...)`, `discord_command(...)`.
-
-The app still owns what a parsed command means. For example, a Telegram `/new`, Discord slash command, Bot Framework
-command activity, or A2A cancellation/request action may parse through a command/action helper, but the route or SDK
-handler decides whether that command clears a session, cancels a task, calls an agent, or is ignored.
-
-Additional helper functions can be protocol-specific when the concept is not broadly shared. Examples include
-`telegram_chat_id(...)`, `telegram_callback_query_id(...)`, `telegram_media_file_id(...)`,
-`discord_interaction_id(...)`, `a2a_task_id(...)`, `a2a_context_id(...)`, and MCP tool/prompt/resource helpers. These
-helpers should still stay side-effect-free: they extract, normalize, or describe protocol data, while app/native SDK code
-performs acknowledgements, sends/edits messages, resolves protected file URLs, applies rate limits, and registers
-handlers.
-
-### Security responsibilities for application builders
-
-The application builder owns the trust boundary. Protocol helper packages can parse native payloads and expose candidate
-ids or operations, but they do not authenticate callers, authorize access to state, or decide which side effects are
-allowed.
-
-Application code that uses these helpers are responsible for (this means that we advice you to think through these topics,
-but ultimately, the choice of which controls are needed for the intended use case is up to the application builder):
-
-- authenticate the caller through the app's normal mechanism before using protocol-provided ids;
-- authorize any caller-supplied session, checkpoint, task, context, conversation, thread, or response id before loading
-  state for it;
-- bind externally supplied ids to the authenticated user, tenant, workspace, installation, or chat context before using
-  them as `SessionStore` keys or checkpoint cursor keys;
-- treat `<protocol>_session_id(...)` results as untrusted candidate keys until that ownership check has passed;
-- keep platform-provided isolation helpers fail-closed outside their trusted hosting environment;
-- authorize command/action effects such as reset, cancel, approve, submit, or tool invocation after parsing them;
-- opt in explicitly before resolving protected media/resource/file URLs and passing them to a remote model provider;
-- persist post-run session or checkpoint state only after `agent.run(...)`, `workflow.run(...)`, or stream finalization has
-  updated that state.
-
-For Foundry specifically, helpers may read values established by Foundry hosting middleware, but must not treat raw
-request headers as trusted Foundry isolation when the app is running outside Foundry. Implementations must test that
-non-Foundry requests do not accept spoofable isolation headers as platform-provided keys.
-
-For workflow checkpointing, the checkpoint boundary must be at least as specific as the authorized session/tenant
-boundary. A shared storage lookup such as "latest checkpoint for workflow name" is safe only when the storage is already
-scoped to the authorized session. In a shared durable store, map the authorized `session_id` to a checkpoint id or other
-cursor and load that specific checkpoint.
-
-### Session continuity
-
-Session continuity remains explicit. Run parsing and isolation/session id selection are separate operations because
-isolation can come from more than one source:
-
-- protocol input, such as OpenAI Responses `previous_response_id`, a Telegram chat id, or an Activity conversation id;
-- running environment, such as Foundry Hosted Agents user/chat isolation context;
-- app-specific trusted middleware or route state.
-
-The app chooses which helper to call for that route and deployment. For example:
-
-- `responses_session_id(body)` from `agent-framework-hosting-responses`, which can return either a `resp_*` previous
-  response id or a `conv_*` conversation id when present;
-- `telegram_session_id(update, bot_id=...)` from `agent-framework-hosting-telegram`, which uses the bot and sender for
-  private chats and the bot and chat for shared group sessions;
-- `activity_session_id(activity)`, `discord_session_id(interaction_or_message)`, or
-  `a2a_session_id(request_context)` from their respective protocol packages;
-- `foundry_user_isolation_key()` or `foundry_chat_isolation_key()` from `agent-framework-foundry-hosting`.
-
-Keep these helpers outside `responses_to_run(...)`, `telegram_to_run(...)`, and other run-input parsers. That makes the
-trust boundary visible: using a request-derived key is a different decision than using a platform-provided isolation key.
-
-The application builder is also responsible for deciding whether the hosting environment is **persistent** (for example,
-a long-running container or web app) or **transient** (for example, Azure Functions, Foundry Hosted Agents, or any
-environment where process memory is not a reliable continuity boundary). That decision controls which state mechanisms are
-safe to use:
-
-- persistent single-process apps may use in-memory state for local development or simple deployments, while still needing
-  durable state for multi-replica continuity;
-- transient apps must not rely on in-memory `SessionStore` state between calls and need a durable session store or a
-  service-owned continuation id;
-- workflow hosts must choose an explicit `CheckpointStorage` and, when they need per-session resume, a durable
-  `session_id -> checkpoint_id` cursor because in-process workflow state and in-memory checkpoint cursors do not survive
-  transient execution.
-
-A `SessionStore` stores `session_id -> AgentSession`, but it does not create sessions. `AgentState` resolves the agent
-target and creates the session on first use. Reads return independent working copies so running from one continuation
-point does not mutate the stored snapshot or another simultaneous branch:
-
-For agent targets:
-
-```python
-session = await state.get_or_create_session(session_id)
-target = await state.get_target()
-result = await target.run(messages, session=session, options=options)
-```
-
-If the protocol mints a new continuation id as part of the response being created (for example, OpenAI Responses
-`resp_*` ids), store the **post-run** session explicitly under that new id:
-
-```python
-session = await state.get_or_create_session(previous_response_id)
-target = await state.get_target()
-result = await target.run(messages, session=session, options=options)
-await state.set_session(response_id, session)
-```
-
-`agent.run(...)` may update the session object (for example, with service continuation state), so the explicit store call
-belongs after the run, not before it.
-
-Response ids are immutable continuation points, so simultaneous callers can branch from one `previous_response_id` and
-store their completed sessions under different new response ids. A stable `conversation_id` is a mutable head: the app
-must explicitly update it after the run and provide single-writer coordination. The hosting state helper does not lock
-an entire run or resolve concurrent updates to that stable key.
-
-The session id is a partition key, not proof of identity. App or platform code must authenticate and authorize any
-externally supplied key before using it.
-
-### Workflow checkpoints
-
-Workflow checkpointing is execution state, not protocol state. `WorkflowState` pairs a workflow target with checkpoint
-state, but it should not wrap or replace the existing `CheckpointStorage` abstraction. Apps should pass the actual
-`CheckpointStorage` they want the workflow to use. If an app needs per-session resume, it can keep a small cursor from
-authorized `session_id` to `checkpoint_id` (or an equivalent store-specific resume token).
-
-Workflow runs do not currently emit a checkpoint id on `WorkflowRunResult` or normal workflow events by default. The
-runner receives checkpoint ids internally from `CheckpointStorage.save(...)`. App/state code that owns the storage can
-observe the latest id by querying the storage after a run, for example
-`await storage.get_latest(workflow_name=target.name)`.
-
-For workflow targets, app code adapts the protocol helper output into the workflow's expected input and invokes the
-workflow through the state object's target:
-
-```python
-# session_id must already be authenticated and authorized for this caller
-target = await state.get_target()
-result = await target.run(message=workflow_input, checkpoint_storage=checkpoint_storage)
-latest = await checkpoint_storage.get_latest(workflow_name=target.name)
-if latest is not None:
-    await checkpoint_cursor_store.set(session_id, latest.checkpoint_id)
-```
-
-If a route wants to resume from a prior checkpoint, it explicitly chooses the checkpoint and passes it to
-`workflow.run(...)`:
-
-```python
-# session_id must already be authenticated and authorized for this caller
-target = await state.get_target()
-checkpoint_id = await checkpoint_cursor_store.get(session_id)
-if checkpoint_id is None:
-    result = await target.run(message=workflow_input, checkpoint_storage=checkpoint_storage)
-else:
-    result = await target.run(checkpoint_id=checkpoint_id, checkpoint_storage=checkpoint_storage)
-latest = await checkpoint_storage.get_latest(workflow_name=target.name)
-if latest is not None:
-    await checkpoint_cursor_store.set(session_id, latest.checkpoint_id)
-```
-
-`workflow.run(...)` writes checkpoints to the provided storage, so storage selection must be explicit at the route layer.
-Protocol helper packages should not own checkpoint layout, route lifecycle, or durable execution.
-
-## Non-goals for v1
-
-The following remain outside the v1 protocol-helper contract. Some are deliberately app-owned in v1; others are possible
-future framework work only after a separate design.
-
-### App-owned in v1
-
-The app builder owns these concerns with normal web-framework, SDK, platform, or application code:
-
-- authentication, authorization policy, and allowlists;
-- deciding whether identities across protocols map to the same `session_id`;
-- non-originating sends using native SDK clients;
-- background work, durable execution, retry, and replay when app code owns the work;
-- routing between multiple agents.
-
-This is easier in the protocol-helper model than it was in the host/channel model: app code already owns the native SDK
-clients, route handlers, authenticated caller context, session id selection, and outbound send calls. An app can link
-channels by choosing the same authorized `session_id` for multiple protocols, and can do non-originating delivery by
-calling the destination protocol's native client directly. That does not make a reusable framework feature safe by
-default; it just means the app-specific version no longer has to fight a host abstraction.
-
-### Future framework work
-
-The following require a reviewed identity, storage, delivery, replay, and observability model before becoming reusable
-framework features:
-
-- reusable cross-channel identity linking;
-- framework-owned proactive or non-originating delivery;
-- fan-out, multicast, selected-channel, active-channel, or all-linked delivery;
-- framework-owned delivery observability, dead-letter handling, and replay semantics;
-- cross-channel confidentiality and link policy.
-
-These possible framework enhancements are tracked by [ADR-0028](0028-hosting-linking-multicast-enhancements.md). They are
-not prerequisites for shipping or using the v1 protocol-helper surface. ADR-0028 was written against the earlier
-host/channel framing and must be revised to align with this protocol-helper and execution-state boundary before those
-enhancements are implemented.
-
-## Consequences
-
-Positive:
-
-- The released surface is smaller and easier to inspect: helpers plus state, not a channel framework.
-- Protocol helpers can be used from FastAPI, Starlette, Azure Functions, Django, CLI tools, tests, or native SDK webhook
-  handlers.
-- App authors can use the authentication, dependency injection, lifecycle, and background-task tools they already know.
-- Session continuity stays explicit and debuggable.
-- Workflow checkpointing can still be centralized if needed without making protocol packages own routing.
-
-Negative:
-
-- Multi-protocol samples include explicit route/client code.
-- Apps that want a batteries-included ASGI app must write or depend on an app-specific wrapper.
-- Existing unreleased code and docs that mention channels, contribution, or hooks must be revised before release.
-
-## More Information
-
-- Follow-up linking and multicast ADR: [ADR-0028](0028-hosting-linking-multicast-enhancements.md). That ADR still uses
-  some earlier host/channel terminology and must be aligned before implementation work starts.
-
-## Appendix: Developer experience sketch
-
-The examples below are sketches, not runtime-ready sample code. They show the minimum shape a developer would need to
-build: where protocol helpers are called, where app-owned auth/authorization belongs, where state is loaded/stored, and
-where native framework code remains in charge.
-
-### Optional execution state
-
-`AgentState` and `WorkflowState` stay small: they are target-specific state holders, not app hosts.
-
-```python
-from typing import Protocol
-
-from agent_framework import AgentSession, SupportsAgentRun, Workflow
-
-
-class SupportsBuild(Protocol):
-    def build(self) -> Workflow: ...
-
-
-class SessionStore:
-    async def get(self, session_id: str) -> AgentSession | None: ...
-    async def set(self, session_id: str, session: AgentSession) -> None: ...
-    async def delete(self, session_id: str) -> None: ...
-
-
-class CheckpointCursorStore:
-    async def get(self, session_id: str) -> str | None: ...
-    async def set(self, session_id: str, checkpoint_id: str) -> None: ...
-    async def delete(self, session_id: str) -> None: ...
-
-
-class AgentState:
-    def __init__(self, target: SupportsAgentRun, *, session_store: SessionStore | None = None) -> None: ...
-    async def get_target(self) -> SupportsAgentRun: ...
-    async def get_or_create_session(self, session_id: str) -> AgentSession: ...
-    async def set_session(self, session_id: str, session: AgentSession) -> None: ...
-
-
-class WorkflowState:
-    def __init__(self, target: Workflow | SupportsBuild) -> None: ...
-    async def get_target(self) -> Workflow: ...
-```
-
-`WorkflowState` accepts direct `Workflow` instances, workflow factories, and builder-shaped objects with
-`build() -> Workflow`. That structurally covers `WorkflowBuilder` and the builders in `agent_framework_orchestrations`
-without making `agent-framework-hosting` depend on the orchestration package.
-
-### Responses-only route
-
-This sketch shows the intended Responses-only shape. The protocol package owns the Agent Framework run conversion helpers and
-response-id minting details; the application owns FastAPI routing, auth, policy adjustment, and response construction.
-
-```python
-import os
-from collections.abc import AsyncIterator
-
-from agent_framework import Agent, ResponseStream
-from agent_framework.openai import OpenAIChatClient
-from agent_framework_hosting import AgentState  # pyright: ignore[reportAttributeAccessIssue]
-from agent_framework_hosting_responses import create_response_id, responses_from_run, responses_from_streaming_run, responses_session_id, responses_to_run  # pyright: ignore[reportAttributeAccessIssue]
-from fastapi import Body, FastAPI, Header, HTTPException
-from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse, StreamingResponse
-
-app = FastAPI()
-agent = Agent(
-    client=OpenAIChatClient(),
-    name="Assistant",
-    instructions="Be concise and helpful.",
-)
-state = AgentState(agent)
-
-
-@app.post("/responses")
-async def responses(body: dict = Body(...), x_api_key: str | None = Header(default=None)) -> JSONResponse | StreamingResponse:
-    if x_api_key != os.environ["RESPONSES_API_KEY"]:
-        raise HTTPException(status_code=401, detail="bad api key")
-
-    # parse the request body into a set of AF objects
-    run = responses_to_run(body)
-    # get the candidate session id from the body
-    # can be a resp_* for previous_response_id or a conv_* for a conversation
-    candidate_session_id = responses_session_id(body)
-    # create a new response_id for this run
-    response_id = create_response_id()
-
-    # the developer can make any adjustments to the request, i.e.:
-    run["options"]["store"] = False
-    run["options"].pop("model", None)
-    # the options here are of the shape defined by the ChatClient/Agent
-
-    # load the session (or create a new one) - this is optional
-    # verify this caller owns candidate_session_id before loading it; API-key auth
-    # alone does not prove ownership of a caller-supplied resp_* or conv_* id
-    session_id = candidate_session_id or response_id
-    session = await state.get_or_create_session(session_id)
-    target = await state.get_target()
-
-    if run["stream"]:
-        stream = target.run(
-            run["messages"],
-            stream=True,
-            session=session,
-            options=run["options"],
-        )
-        async def stream_events() -> AsyncIterator[str]:
-            async for event in responses_from_streaming_run(
-                stream,
-                response_id=response_id,
-                session_id=candidate_session_id,
-            ):
-                yield event
-            # agent.run may update the session during stream finalization, so store the post-run session explicitly
-            await state.set_session(response_id, session)
-
-        return StreamingResponse(stream_events(), media_type="text/event-stream")
-
-    result = await target.run(
-        run["messages"],
-        session=session,
-        options=run["options"],
-    )
-    # agent.run may update the session, so store the post-run session explicitly under the response id
-    # this might also be skipped, if the app chooses to respect `store=False` policy
-    await state.set_session(response_id, session)
-    return JSONResponse(responses_from_run(result, response_id=response_id, session_id=candidate_session_id))
-
-```
-
-### Responses-only Django class-based view
-
-The same helper surface can be used without FastAPI. A Django app owns URL routing, CSRF/auth policy, request parsing,
-and `JsonResponse` construction. In a real Django project this would live in the app's normal view module (for example
-`assistant/views.py`) and be routed from that app's `urls.py`; Django discovers it through its standard project/app
-layout, not through Agent Framework. This sketch shows the non-streaming path only; the streaming branch is the same
-state/finalization pattern shown in the FastAPI sketch and is omitted here to avoid duplicating it.
-
-```python
-import json
-import os
-
-from agent_framework import Agent
-from agent_framework.openai import OpenAIChatClient
-from agent_framework_hosting import AgentState  # pyright: ignore[reportAttributeAccessIssue]
-from agent_framework_hosting_responses import create_response_id, responses_from_run, responses_session_id, responses_to_run  # pyright: ignore[reportAttributeAccessIssue]
-from django.http import HttpRequest, HttpResponseBadRequest, HttpResponseForbidden, JsonResponse
-from django.views import View
-
-
-agent = Agent(
-    client=OpenAIChatClient(),
-    name="Assistant",
-    instructions="Be concise and helpful.",
-)
-state = AgentState(agent)
-
-
-class ResponsesView(View):
-    async def post(self, request: HttpRequest) -> JsonResponse:
-        if request.headers.get("x-api-key") != os.environ["RESPONSES_API_KEY"]:
-            return HttpResponseForbidden("bad api key")
-
-        try:
-            body = json.loads(request.body)
-        except json.JSONDecodeError:
-            return HttpResponseBadRequest("invalid json")
-
-        run = responses_to_run(body)
-        candidate_session_id = responses_session_id(body)
-        response_id = create_response_id()
-        options = run["options"]
-        # verify this caller owns candidate_session_id before loading it; API-key auth
-        # alone does not prove ownership of a caller-supplied resp_* or conv_* id
-        session_id = candidate_session_id or response_id

-# Hosting linking and multicast enhancements
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-[ADR-0027](0027-hosting-channels.md) defines the minimal v1 hosting core: originating-channel responses, explicit `ChannelSession.isolation_key`, and no host-level identity linking, push, multicast, background delivery, or durable runners.
-
-This ADR tracks the richer cross-channel behaviors that were removed from v1. These enhancements are **follow-up work** and are **not prerequisites** for shipping, using, or stabilizing the v1 host/channel core.
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- Cross-channel continuity must not create accidental cross-user, cross-tenant, or cross-channel data leaks.
-- Non-originating delivery must be observable, idempotent, retryable, and supportable.
-- Protocol payloads must remain channel-native while still being safe to persist and replay.
-- App authors need opt-in policy controls, not hidden defaults.
-- The enhancement stack should layer on top of the v1 host without reshaping the minimal channel contract.
-
-## Enhancement Areas
-
-The follow-up design should cover these capabilities together because they share identity, storage, delivery, and replay concerns:
-
-- **Cross-channel identity linking** — a user can connect multiple `ChannelIdentity` values to one channel-neutral `isolation_key`.
-- **Authorization and allowlist policy** — channels or hosts can require verified identity, allow specific native identities or claims, and deny unknown callers.
-- **Non-originating response delivery** — a run can respond somewhere other than the request's originating protocol when explicitly configured.
-- **Active-channel routing** — delivery can target the most recently observed linked channel for an `isolation_key`.
-- **Multicast / all-linked delivery** — delivery can fan out to every linked channel or a selected set.
-- **Background runs and continuation tokens** — long-running requests can return immediately and complete later, with a polling/status fallback.
-- **Durable delivery runners** — delivery work can survive process restarts and support dead-letter handling.
-- **Retry and replay semantics** — delivery attempts are bounded, deduplicated, and safe to replay.
-- **Payload serialization** — channel-specific payloads can be persisted, redacted, versioned, and reconstructed without losing protocol fidelity.
-
-Candidate API names from the broader design (`IdentityLinker`, `IdentityAllowlist`, `AuthPolicy`, `ResponseTarget`, `ChannelPush`, `ChannelPushCodec`, `DurableTaskRunner`, `InProcessTaskRunner`, `RetryPolicy`, `LinkPolicy`) remain design vocabulary for this ADR. They are not approved v1 APIs.
-
-## Considered Options
-
-### Option A — Leave all behavior to applications
-
-Applications implement linking, authorization, push, retry, and serialization independently.
-
-- Good: the hosting core stays very small.
-- Neutral: advanced apps can still build what they need.
-- Bad: every app must solve the same security and delivery problems, likely inconsistently.
-
-### Option B — Add the full enhancement stack to v1
-
-The first host release includes linking, authorization, active channel, multicast, background runs, durable runners, and codecs.
-
-- Good: the original cross-channel experience is available immediately.
-- Neutral: samples can demonstrate rich end-to-end flows.
-- Bad: v1 becomes security-sensitive, storage-heavy, and harder to stabilize.
-
-### Option C — Layer opt-in enhancement packages after v1
-
-Ship the minimal host first, then add linking, authorization, and delivery packages behind explicit configuration.
-
-- Good: v1 remains simple while leaving room for a reviewed, supportable enhancement stack.
-- Neutral: apps that need advanced delivery wait for follow-up packages.
-- Bad: the first release does not satisfy proactive or all-linked scenarios.
-
-### Option D — Build only platform-specific integrations
-
-Implement linking and proactive delivery separately in Telegram, Activity Protocol, Discord, and future channels.
-
-- Good: each package can match its protocol exactly.
-- Neutral: some shared abstractions may emerge later.
-- Bad: cross-channel behavior becomes fragmented and hard to reason about.
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-Proposed direction: **Option C — layered opt-in enhancement packages after v1**.
-
-The minimal host remains the foundation. Follow-up packages may add linking, authorization, delivery, and durable execution, but must be explicitly enabled and must pass the validation gates below before becoming part of the public contract.
-
-## Safety Requirements
-
-### Threat model
-
-The design must account for:
-
-- spoofed channel-native identities,
-- stolen or replayed link challenges,
-- cross-tenant or cross-confidentiality data leakage,
-- unsolicited proactive messages,
-- malicious payloads persisted for replay,
-- denial-of-service through fan-out or retry storms, and
-- privacy leakage through logs, metrics, or support tooling.
-
-Required mitigations include verified identity claims where available, signed and expiring link challenges, explicit user consent, per-channel capability checks, default-deny policy options, tenant partitioning, and uninformative denial messages on shared channels.
-
-### Idempotency and replay
-
-Exactly-once delivery is not a realistic guarantee. The design must provide:
-
-- stable run, continuation, and delivery-attempt identifiers,
-- channel-level idempotency keys where protocols support them,
-- bounded retry with jitter and explicit terminal states,
-- replay windows and expiration,
-- duplicate suppression for persisted attempts, and
-- clear semantics for "delivered", "accepted by platform", and "observed by user".
-
-### Storage
-
-Enhancement storage must stay distinct from v1 `AgentSession` history and workflow checkpoints unless an implementation deliberately backs them with the same physical store.
-
-Stored data should be schema-versioned, minimized, encrypted or otherwise protected as appropriate, and partitioned by tenant/project. Link records, continuation records, active-channel state, delivery attempts, dead letters, and serialized payloads need independent TTL and deletion policies.
-
-### Observability and support
-
-The design must include structured logs, traces, and metrics for link attempts, authorization decisions, delivery scheduling, retries, replay, and dead-letter outcomes. Logs must avoid message content and sensitive identity claims by default. Operators need a way to inspect, revoke, replay, or purge stuck records safely.
-
-## Validation Gates
-
-Before these enhancements are accepted:
-
-- A reviewed threat model covers identity linking, authorization, non-originating delivery, multicast, and replay.
-- Cross-channel linking tests prove a verified identity can link two channels and that unlink/deny paths do not leak information.
-- Authorization tests cover native-id allowlists, verified-claim allowlists, default-deny behavior, and misconfiguration failures.
-- Delivery tests cover originating-only, specific-channel, active-channel, selected-channel, and all-linked routing.
-- Background/continuation tests cover polling fallback, cancellation or expiration, process restart, retry, and dead-letter behavior.
-- Codec tests prove payloads are versioned, redacted where needed, backward compatible, and rejected safely when unknown.
-- Multicast tests prove fan-out is bounded, independently retried, and idempotent per destination.
-- Observability tests or manual validation prove support operators can correlate a request to delivery attempts without exposing sensitive content.
-
-## Relationship to ADR-0027
-
-ADR-0027 remains valid without any of these enhancements. This ADR extends the hosting model only after the safety, storage, and support requirements above are satisfied.

-# Skills Over MCP: Implementation Design Options
-
-This document explores design options for two SEP-2640 features. The decisions are not yet finalized.
-
-- **Part 1: MCP Resource Template Skills** - skills described by a URI template with variables that must be resolved before loading.
-- **Part 2: Direct Skill References** - reading `skill://` URIs referenced directly (e.g., in server instructions) without being listed in the index.
-
-## Part 1: MCP Resource Template Skills
-
-### Context and Problem Statement
-
-The `AgentMcpSkillsSource` currently only supports `skill-md` type entries from `skill://index.json` (support for `archive` type is planned). The SEP-2640 specification also defines `mcp-resource-template` entries: **parameterized skill namespaces** described by a URI template with variables (e.g., `{product}`) that resolve to concrete `SKILL.md` URIs. Rather than materializing every skill in the index, the template's variables must be resolved before a skill can be loaded.
-
-### Index Entry Format
-
-```json
-{
-  "$schema": "https://schemas.agentskills.io/discovery/0.2.0/schema.json",
-  "skills": [
-    {
-      "name": "git-workflow",
-      "type": "skill-md",
-      "description": "Follow this team's Git conventions for branching and commits",
-      "url": "skill://git-workflow/SKILL.md"
-    },
-    {
-      "type": "mcp-resource-template",
-      "description": "Per-product documentation skill",
-      "url": "skill://docs/{product}/SKILL.md"
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Key differences from `skill-md`:
-
-| Field | `skill-md` | `mcp-resource-template` |
-|-------|------------|-------------------------|
-| `name` | Required (the skill name) | **Omitted** (represents many skills) |
-| `type` | `"skill-md"` | `"mcp-resource-template"` |
-| `url` | Concrete URI to `SKILL.md` | URI template with variables |
-| `description` | Describes the skill | Describes the addressable skill space |
-
-### Use Cases
-
-Template skills address two scenarios where listing concrete skills is impractical:
-
-- **Large skill catalogs** - too many skills to enumerate every entry in the index.
-- **Dynamically generated skills** - skill content generated on the fly from parameters, so the set of valid skills is not known at index-creation time.
-
-### How Template Skills Are Consumed
-
-Per SEP-2640, the consumption flow relies on the MCP `completion/complete` method:
-
-1. **Server registers a resource template** - The MCP server registers the same `url` value (e.g., `skill://docs/{product}/SKILL.md`) as an MCP [resource template](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/server/resources#resource-templates), wiring template variables to the [completion API](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/server/utilities/completion).
-
-2. **Host reads `skill://index.json`** - Discovers the template entry with `type: "mcp-resource-template"`.
-
-3. **Host surfaces template in UI** - Presents the template as an interactive discovery point where the user fills in variables.
-
-4. **Host calls `completion/complete`** - For each template variable (e.g., `{product}`), the host calls the MCP completion API to get possible values from the server:
-   ```json
-   {
-     "method": "completion/complete",
-     "params": {
-       "ref": {
-         "type": "ref/resource",
-         "uri": "skill://docs/{product}/SKILL.md"
-       },
-       "argument": {
-         "name": "product",
-         "value": ""
-       }
-     }
-   }
-   ```
-   The server responds with possible completions:
-   ```json
-   {
-     "completion": {
-       "values": ["widgets", "billing", "auth", "payments"],
-       "hasMore": false,
-       "total": 4
-     }
-   }
-   ```
-
-5. **User selects a value** - The user picks a value (e.g., `"billing"`) from the list.
-
-6. **Host resolves the URI** - The template `skill://docs/{product}/SKILL.md` becomes the concrete URI `skill://docs/billing/SKILL.md`.
-
-7. **Host reads the resolved skill** - Calls `resources/read` with the concrete URI and proceeds as with any `skill-md` skill.
-
-### Potential Implementation Options
-
-### Option 1: Callback on `AgentMcpSkillsSource` for Variable Value Selection
-
-Add a callback to `AgentMcpSkillsSource` (or its options) that is invoked for each `mcp-resource-template` entry to let the caller select variable values.
-
-**Flow:**
-
-1. `AgentMcpSkillsSource.GetSkillsAsync()` reads `skill://index.json`
-2. For each entry with `type: "mcp-resource-template"`:
-   - Parse the URI template to extract variable names (e.g., `{product}`)
-   - Call the MCP `completion/complete` API to get possible values for each variable
-   - Invoke the caller-provided callback with the variable name, description, and possible values
-   - The callback returns a selected value and a `bool` indicating whether to include the skill
-3. Resolve the URI template with the selected values
-4. Create an `AgentMcpSkill` from the resolved URI and add it to the skills list
-
-**API sketch:**
-
-```csharp
-public delegate Task<(string? SelectedValue, bool IncludeSkill)> McpTemplateVariableSelector(
-    string templateDescription,
-    string variableName,
-    IReadOnlyList<string> possibleValues,
-    CancellationToken cancellationToken);
-
-// Usage via builder:
-var provider = new AgentSkillsProviderBuilder()
-    .UseMcpSkills(mcpClient, options => {
-        options.TemplateVariableSelector = async (description, variable, values, ct) =>
-        {
-            // Present to user, return selection
-            var selected = PromptUser(variable, values);
-            return (selected, IncludeSkill: selected is not null);
-        };
-    })
-    .Build();
-```
-
-**Pros:**
-- Simple implementation
-- Easy to understand and use
-
-**Cons:**
-- Cannot be used in server-side scenarios where there is no interactive user at skill-discovery time
-- Does not integrate with the agent's conversational flow
-
----
-
-### Option 2: Integrate into Agent Conversation via `ChatClientAgent` Decorator
-
-Model the template variable resolution as a request/response interaction within the agent's conversational loop.
-
-**Flow:**
-
-1. A `DelegatingAIAgent` decorator (e.g., `McpTemplateSkillResolutionAgent`) intercepts `RunAsync`/`RunStreamingAsync` calls and checks whether the inner agent has an `AgentSkillsProvider` with an `AgentMcpSkillsSource` containing unresolved template entries. The check is performed via `GetService<AgentMcpSkillsSource>()` on the `AgentSkillsProvider`, which delegates to a `GetService` method on the `AgentSkillsSource` base class.
-
-2. The decorator calls an internal member on `AgentMcpSkillsSource` to get the list of `mcp-resource-template` entries from the index. The `AgentMcpSkillsSource` needs to be extended with an internal member that exposes unresolved template entries separately from concrete skills.
-
-3. For each template entry, the decorator calls an internal member on `AgentMcpSkillsSource` to retrieve possible values for the template's variables via the MCP `completion/complete` API.
-
-4. For each variable needing resolution, the decorator returns an `McpResourceTemplateValueRequestContent` (inherits from MEAI's `InputRequestContent`) in the agent response - bypassing the call to the inner agent. The content carries the template description, variable name, and possible values.
-
-5. The user app receives the response, identifies the `McpResourceTemplateValueRequestContent` content type, and displays UI to the user showing the variable name and possible values, or forwards it further downstream if the user app is a service.
-
-6. The user selects a value, and the user app calls the agent again with a corresponding `McpResourceTemplateValueResponseContent` (inherits from MEAI's `InputResponseContent`) containing the selected value. The `RequestId` property (inherited from the base classes) correlates the response with the original request.
-
-7. The decorator identifies the response content and provides the resolved values to `AgentMcpSkillsSource` so it can use them when constructing concrete skills.
-
-8. Having resolved all template variables, the decorator calls `RunAsync`/`RunStreamingAsync` on the inner agent.
-
-9. The inner agent invokes the `AgentSkillsProvider`, which calls `AgentMcpSkillsSource.GetSkillsAsync()`. The source now has all resolved variable values and constructs concrete `AgentMcpSkill` instances from the resolved URIs, so it can provide the skill content if requested by the model.
-
-**API sketch:**
-
-```csharp
-// New content types inheriting from MEAI's InputRequestContent/InputResponseContent:
-public sealed class McpResourceTemplateValueRequestContent : InputRequestContent
-{
-    public string TemplateDescription { get; }
-    public string VariableName { get; }
-    public IReadOnlyList<string> PossibleValues { get; }
-    public string TemplateUrl { get; }
-}
-
-public sealed class McpResourceTemplateValueResponseContent : InputResponseContent
-{
-    public string SelectedValue { get; }
-    public string TemplateUrl { get; }
-}
-
-// Decorator usage:
-var provider = new AgentSkillsProviderBuilder()
-    .UseMcpSkills(mcpClient)
-    .Build();
-
-AIAgent agent = new ChatClientAgent(chatClient, new ChatClientAgentOptions
-{
-    AIContextProviders = [provider],
-});
-agent = new McpTemplateSkillResolutionAgent(agent);
-```
-
-**Pros:**
-- Works in server-side scenarios
-- Fits the existing `DelegatingAIAgent` decorator pattern
-- Can be composed with other decorators (tool approval, etc.)
-
-**Cons:**
-- Complex implementation
-- Requires user app awareness of the new content types
-- Users need to know that an additional decorator is required for handling MCP template skills, in addition to registering the MCP skills source
-- Resolved template variable values must be persisted across conversation turns so the decorator does not re-prompt on subsequent agent runs within the same session
-
-**Note:** This writeup is high-level and may miss details that could change the design. A POC would be needed to validate the approach.
-
-### Open Questions
-
-1. **Completion API limit** - The MCP completion API returns at most 100 values per request and provides no offset/cursor mechanism for enumeration. If a variable has more than 100 possible values, it's unclear how to retrieve the rest - the API only supports prefix-based filtering (typeahead), not bulk pagination.
-
-2. **Multi-variable templates** - A template like `skill://{org}/{product}/SKILL.md` has multiple variables. Should they be resolved sequentially (org first, then product - since product values may depend on org) or presented together?
-
-3. **Caching** - Should resolved template values be saved in the `AgentSession` so the user isn't re-prompted on every agent run? How should they be persisted between sessions?

-## Part 2: Direct Skill References
-
-This part covers how to let the model read `skill://` URIs referenced directly (e.g., in an MCP server's `instructions`, in a resource, or in another skill's content) without being listed in `skill://index.json`.
-
-### How MCP Skills and Relative Links Work Today
-
-The `AgentMcpSkillsSource` discovers skills by reading the well-known `skill://index.json` resource from the MCP server:
-
-```json
-{
-  "$schema": "https://schemas.agentskills.io/discovery/0.2.0/schema.json",
-  "skills": [
-    {
-      "name": "unit-converter",
-      "type": "skill-md",
-      "description": "Convert between common units.",
-      "url": "skill://unit-converter/SKILL.md"
-    },
-    {
-      "name": "currency-converter",
-      "type": "skill-md",
-      "description": "Convert between world currencies using live rates.",
-      "url": "skill://currency-converter/SKILL.md"
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-For each `skill-md` entry it creates an `AgentMcpSkill` instance - frontmatter (name/description) comes straight from the entry. The `AgentSkillsProvider` lists the discovered skills in the model's context (name + description):
-
-```xml
-<available_skills>
-  <skill>
-    <name>unit-converter</name>
-    <description>Convert between common units.</description>
-  </skill>
-  <skill>
-    <name>currency-converter</name>
-    <description>Convert between world currencies using live rates.</description>
-  </skill>
-</available_skills>
-```
-
-It also provides functions to the model so it can load a skill and access its resources:
-
-```csharp
-// Loads the full content of a specific skill.
-load_skill(string skillName)
-
-// Reads a resource associated with a skill (references, assets, dynamic data).
-read_skill_resource(string skillName, string resourceName)
-```
-
-The model calls `load_skill("unit-converter")` and receives the skill content:
-
-```markdown
----
-name: unit-converter
-description: Convert between common units.
----
-## Usage
-
-For the full conversion table, see references/units-table.md.
-```
-
-The skill body references `references/units-table.md` by relative path. The model calls `read_skill_resource("unit-converter", "references/units-table.md")` and receives the resource content:
-
-```markdown
-# Unit Conversion Table
-
-| From  | To   | Factor  |
-| miles | km   | 1.60934 |
-| kg    | lbs  | 2.20462 |
-```
-
-### Direct Reference Examples
-
-A `skill://` URI can appear in any of these locations:
-
-**Server instructions** - the MCP server advertises a skill the model should load:
-
-```text
-Follow our coding standards. Load skill://code-standards/SKILL.md for details.
-```
-
-**A skill body** - a skill's `SKILL.md` links to a sibling resource:
-
-```markdown
----
-name: code-standards
-description: Coding standards and conventions.
----
-## Naming
-
-Follow the naming rules in skill://code-standards/references/naming.md.
-```
-
-**A resource** - the linked resource holds the actual content:
-
-```markdown
-# Naming Rules
-
-- Use PascalCase for public members and type names.
-- Use camelCase for locals and parameters.
-- Prefix interfaces with `I` (e.g. `ISkillReader`).
-- Suffix async methods with `Async`.
-
-For examples, see skill://code-standards/references/naming-examples.md.
-```
-
-How can the model access content by direct reference?
-
-### Function for Reading Direct Skill References
-
-### Option 1: Extend existing `load_skill` and `read_skill_resource` functions
-
-```csharp
-// Added optional 'origin' and a direct skill:// URI is passed in 'skillName'.
-load_skill(string skillName, string? origin = null)
-
-// Added optional 'origin', made 'skillName' optional, and a direct skill:// URI is passed in 'resourceName'.
-read_skill_resource(string resourceName, string? skillName = null, string? origin = null)
-```
-
-The optional `origin` identifies the source/MCP server that should handle the direct URI.
-
-| Case | Call |
-|------|------|
-| Load skill | `load_skill("commit-guidelines")` |
-| Relative resource | `read_skill_resource("commit-guidelines", "examples/COMMIT_EXAMPLES.md")` |
-| `skill://` link (skill) | `load_skill(skillName: "skill://commit-guidelines/SKILL.md", origin: "DirectRefServer")` |
-| `skill://` link (resource) | `read_skill_resource(resourceName: "skill://commit-guidelines/examples/COMMIT_EXAMPLES.md", origin: "DirectRefServer")` |
-
-**Pros:**
-
-- No new functions added: existing tool surface stays at two functions.
-
-**Cons:**
-
-- Unreliable on some models (gpt-4o, gpt-4.1-mini): it often omits `origin` when it should not or calls the wrong function.
-- Optional parameters create silent ambiguity - the model can pass `origin` for non-MCP skills or omit it for `skill://` URIs.
-
-### Option 2 (Proposed): Add a dedicated `read_skill_uri` function alongside existing ones
-
-```csharp
-// Existing functions stay unchanged.
-load_skill(string skillName)
-read_skill_resource(string skillName, string resourceName)
-
-// New function added alongside: reads content by direct skill:// URI.
-read_skill_uri(string uri, string origin)
-```
-
-| Case | Call |
-|------|------|
-| Load skill | `load_skill("commit-guidelines")` |
-| Relative resource | `read_skill_resource("commit-guidelines", "examples/COMMIT_EXAMPLES.md")` |
-| `skill://` link (skill) | `read_skill_uri(uri: "skill://commit-guidelines/SKILL.md", origin:"DirectRefServer")` |
-| `skill://` link (resource) | `read_skill_uri(uri: "skill://commit-guidelines/examples/COMMIT_EXAMPLES.md", origin: "DirectRefServer")` |
-
-**Pros:**
-
-- Purely additive - no changes to existing functions needed; `read_skill_uri` can be deferred and added later when direct `skill://` reference support is needed.
-- Granular approval: each function can have its own approval gate (like the existing `ScriptApproval` for `run_skill_script`), making per-operation approval for skill loading, resource reading, and direct URI access straightforward to add.
-- Both `uri` and `origin` are required - no silent misuse through optional parameters.
-- Clean split: `load_skill`/`read_skill_resource` for named skills, `read_skill_uri` for `skill://` links - no parameter ambiguity.
-
-**Cons:**
-
-- Three read functions (`load_skill`, `read_skill_resource`, `read_skill_uri`), not counting `run_skill_script`: larger tool surface than a single-function design.
-
-### Option 3: Collapse `load_skill` and `read_skill_resource` into a single `read_resource` function
-
-```csharp
-// Single entrypoint for all skill content. 'uri' is required; 'origin' is optional.
-read_resource(string uri, string? origin = null)
-```
-
-- `uri` - what to read: a skill name, a relative resource path, or a `skill://` link.
-- `origin` - determines how `uri` is interpreted:
-  - **omitted** → load skill by name (`uri` is the skill name).
-  - **skill name** → read a relative resource (`uri` is the path within that skill).
-  - **server name** → read content by the `skill://` link (`uri` is handled by the source identified by the `[Origin: X]` marker).
-
-Dispatch is ordered: null `origin` routes to Case 1; if `origin` names a known skill, routes to Case 2; otherwise tries to find an `ISkillUriReader` whose `CanRead` returns true for `origin` (Case 3).
-
-| Case | Call |
-|------|------|
-| Load skill | `read_resource(uri: "commit-guidelines")` |
-| Relative resource | `read_resource(uri: "examples/COMMIT_EXAMPLES.md", origin: "commit-guidelines")` |
-| `skill://` link (skill) | `read_resource(uri: "skill://commit-guidelines/SKILL.md", origin: "DirectRefServer")` |
-| `skill://` link (resource) | `read_resource(uri: "skill://commit-guidelines/examples/COMMIT_EXAMPLES.md", origin: "DirectRefServer")` |
-
-**Pros:**
-
-- Minimal tool surface: one read function instead of two or three (not counting `run_skill_script`) reduces token usage and gives the model fewer choices.
-
-**Cons:**
-
-- No per-operation approval: all cases (skill loading, resource reading, direct URI access) share one function, so approval cannot be scoped to individual operations.
-- Unreliable on gpt-4.1-mini: omits `origin` when reading `skill://` links, passes skill name as `origin` when loading a plain skill (should be omitted), and hallucinates resource names (e.g. `API_SPECIFICATION.md`) that do not exist.
-
-
----
-
-### Origin Marker
-
-A `skill://` URI does not carry an origin, but the model needs to provide one when reading it. The `origin` is what routes the read call to the source that can handle the URI - the provider uses it to pick the matching source. Since the URI itself carries no such hint, the MCP source injects an `[Origin: ...]` marker wherever a `skill://` URI appears, so the model can read it back and pass it as the `origin` argument.
-
-The marker is only added when the content actually contains `skill://` references. If a piece of content (server instructions, a skill body, or a resource) has no `skill://` URIs, there is nothing for the model to read back, so no marker is injected.
-
-Into **server instructions**, which may mention `skill://` URIs directly:
-
-```
-[Origin: code-standards-server]
-Follow our coding standards. Load skill://code-standards/SKILL.md for details.
-```
-
-Into **skill bodies**, since a `SKILL.md` may reference other `skill://` URIs (a resource file or a related skill):
-
-```
-[Origin: code-standards-server]
-# Code Standards
-
-For naming conventions, load skill://code-standards/references/naming.md.
-```
-
-Into **skill resources**, since a resource may itself reference further `skill://` URIs:
-
-```
-[Origin: code-standards-server]
-# Naming Rules
-
-- Use PascalCase for public members and type names.
-- Use camelCase for locals and parameters.
-
-For examples, see skill://code-standards/references/naming-examples.md.
-```
-
----
-
-### Read-by-URI Capability: Interface vs Base Class Virtual Methods
-
-Now let's look at how an `AgentSkillsSource` can opt in to reading `skill://` URIs and signal that capability to the provider.
-
-### Option 1: New `ISkillUriReader` interface
-
-```csharp
-public interface ISkillUriReader
-{
-    // Returns true if this reader can handle the given skill:// URI from the given origin.
-    bool CanRead(string uri, string origin);
-
-    // Reads and returns the content for the given skill:// URI.
-    Task<object?> ReadByUriAsync(string uri, string origin, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-}
-```
-
-Sources that support direct `skill://` URI reads - such as `AgentMcpSkillsSource` - implement this interface to opt in.
-
-The provider discovers readers via a service locator and dispatches to the first that can handle the URI:
-
-```csharp
-// Discover all registered readers.
-var readers = source.GetService<IEnumerable<ISkillUriReader>>();
-
-// Pick the first reader that can handle the URI.
-var reader = readers.FirstOrDefault(r => r.CanRead(uri, origin))
-    ?? throw new InvalidOperationException($"No reader can handle URI '{uri}' from origin '{origin}'.");
-
-// Delegate the read to it.
-return await reader.ReadByUriAsync(uri, origin, cancellationToken);
-```
-
-The provider may treat a source implementing `ISkillUriReader` as the signal to advertise `read_skill_uri`: if at least one registered source implements the interface, the function is exposed to the model; otherwise it is not.
-
-### Option 2 (Proposed): Virtual methods on `AgentSkillsSource` base class
-
-```csharp
-public abstract class AgentSkillsSource
-{
-    // New members for reading by URI.
-
-    // Whether this source can read by URI; drives whether read_skill_uri is advertised. Off by default.
-    public virtual bool SupportsReadByUri => false;
-
-    // Returns true if this source can handle the given skill:// URI from the given origin.
-    public virtual bool CanReadByUri(string uri, string origin) => false;
-
-    // Reads and returns the content for the given skill:// URI.
-    public virtual Task<object?> ReadByUriAsync(string uri, string origin, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-        => Task.FromResult<object?>(null);
-
-    // Existing member.
-    public abstract Task<IList<AgentSkills>> GetSkillsAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-}
-```
-
-Sources opt in by overriding, and the provider calls them directly:
-
-```csharp
-// AgentMcpSkillsSource opts in by overriding the virtuals.
-public override bool SupportsReadByUri => true;
-
-// Handles the URI when its origin matches this source's MCP server.
-public override bool CanReadByUri(string uri, string origin)
-    => string.Equals(origin, this.Origin, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
-
-// Reads content by skill:// URI from the MCP server.
-public override Task<string?> ReadByUriAsync(string uri, string origin, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
-    => /* resolve uri via the MCP server identified by origin */;
-```
-
-All sources inherit the methods, so there is no type signal - `SupportsReadByUri` fills that role. The function is advertised when any registered source returns `true`.
-
-### Comparison
-
-| Aspect | Option 1: Interface | Option 2: Base class virtual methods |
-|--------|---------------------|--------------------------------------|
-| Discovery | Service locator | Direct call on source |
-| Advertising signal | Interface implementation | `SupportsReadByUri` flag |
-| Adding new members | Breaking change | Non-breaking |
-| Complexity | Higher | Lower |
-
----
-
-### Include MCP Server Instructions Into Agent Instructions
-
-MCP server instructions may contain the `skill://` references the model needs, so we want to surface them in the agent's instructions. But they can also carry system prompts or behavioral directives irrelevant to the agent, polluting context - so inclusion is **opt-in** via the `IncludeServerInstructions` option:
-
-```csharp
-public sealed class AgentMcpSkillsSourceOptions
-{
-    // When true, the MCP server's instructions are injected into the agent instructions. Off by default.
-    public bool IncludeServerInstructions { get; set; }
-}
-
-builder.UseMcpSkills(mcpClient, options => options.IncludeServerInstructions = true);
-```
-
-When enabled, the instructions travel alongside the discovered skills on `AgentSkillsResult`:
-
-```csharp
-public class AgentSkillsResult
-{
-    // The skills discovered from the source.
-    public IList<AgentSkill> Skills { get; }
-
-    // The MCP server instructions, when IncludeServerInstructions is enabled; otherwise null.
-    public string? Instructions { get; }
-}
-```
-
-The `AgentSkillsProvider` then appends them to its own skill-usage guidance when building the agent's instructions:
-
-```csharp
-var result = await source.GetSkillsAsync(cancellationToken);
-
-var instructions = DefaultSkillsInstructionPrompt;
-if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(result.Instructions))
-{
-    // Combine the provider's skill-usage guidance with the server instructions.
-    instructions += Environment.NewLine + result.Instructions;
-}
-```
-
-### Enabling Direct Skill References
-
-Following direct `skill://` references is **disabled by default** and activated via an option. When enabled, the provider advertises the read function to the model, and the source injects the `[Origin: ...]` marker into all content provided by the MCP server that contains `skill://` references. When disabled, no function is advertised and no marker is injected.
-
-```csharp
-public sealed class AgentMcpSkillsSourceOptions
-{
-    public bool EnableDirectReferences { get; set; }
-}
-
-builder.UseMcpSkills(mcpClient, options => options.EnableDirectReferences = true);
-```
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-### Template Variable Resolution: Callback vs Decorator (Part 1)
-
-**Postponed.** Deferring this decision until:
-
-- We have a concrete list of scenarios that require template variable resolution.
-- The skills-over-MCP spec is released (it is still a draft, so the design may change).
-- There is a strong signal of demand from users or the ecosystem.
-
-### Function for Reading Direct Skill References (Part 2)
-
-**Postponed.** Leaning toward **Option 2 - dedicated `read_skill_uri` function alongside existing ones** (purely additive, and each function can have its own approval gate for granular per-operation approval), but deferring the decision until:
-
-- The skills-over-MCP spec is released (it is still a draft, so the design may change).
-- There is a strong signal of demand from users or the ecosystem.
-
-### Read-by-URI Capability: Interface vs Base Class (Part 2)
-
-**Postponed.** Leaning toward **Option 2 - virtual methods on `AgentSkillsSource`** (non-breaking, lower complexity, and a natural fit with the existing base class hierarchy), but deferring the decision until:
-
-- The skills-over-MCP spec is released (it is still a draft, so the design may change).
-- There is a strong signal of demand from users or the ecosystem.
-
-The method naming (`SupportsReadByUri`, `CanReadByUri`, `ReadByUriAsync`) should also be abstracted a little more before adoption, so the same members can be reused when a similar direct-reference concept is needed for other skill types (e.g. file skills).

-# Python identity lifetimes for sessions, tasks, and continuation
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-Python `AgentSession` currently carries a local `session_id`, an optional opaque service continuation
-`service_session_id`, and provider state. `service_session_id` is any service-owned value that lets that service continue
-a conversation, session, or thread; chat clients happen to map it through the abstract `conversation_id` ChatOption, but
-other agent types can use it differently. It is not a generic correlation field, and generic correlation should not
-require parsing or understanding that opaque service-owned value.
-
-The related issues mix values with different lifetimes:
-
-- **Session / conversation identity**: values that group a multi-turn interaction. Examples: A2A `context_id`, OpenAI
-  Responses `conversation` (`conv_*`) or response-chain continuation (`previous_response_id`).
-- **Task identity**: values that identify a protocol task and may affect future protocol calls. Example: A2A `task_id`.
-- **Message / response identity**: values that identify an output message or response. Examples: A2A `message_id` /
-  `artifact_id`, OpenAI Responses response id (`resp_*`).
-- **Continuation token**: a framework resume payload for in-progress work. It may contain the same underlying value as a
-  protocol id, such as A2A `task_id`, but it only exists when there is an unfinished operation to resume.
-
-These values should not automatically live in the same object just because they all help "continue" something. A value
-belongs in `AgentSession` only when it is needed to continue future calls across turns. A value that identifies one
-result belongs on the response or message. A value that resumes in-progress work belongs in a `ContinuationToken`.
-
-An `AgentSession` created for one agent is not expected to be guaranteed to work against another agent. When a session is
-used with an incompatible agent, protocol, or service, the framework should still help users understand what is wrong as
-early as possible, preferably before calling out to the remote service.
-
-For #4673, native conversation identity propagation should be based on `AgentSession` where the value is durable session
-state. For #4893, A2A `context_id` and `task_id` need a coherent Agent Framework mapping.
-
-AG-UI is out of scope for the decision. Its `thread_id` already maps to `AgentSession.session_id` in the normal wrapper
-path, and `run_id` is wrapper-owned event correlation. If AG-UI run correlation needs framework telemetry integration
-later, that should be handled as a run-context/telemetry design, not as session identity.
-
-### Concrete gap example
-
-At the protocol level, the durable continuation payload shapes are different:
-
-```json
-// A2A: future calls may need multiple durable protocol fields
-{
-  "context_id": "ctx_123",
-  "task_id": "task_789",
-  "task_state": "input_required"
-}
-```
-
-```json
-// OpenAI Responses: future calls usually need one continuation value
-{
-  "previous_response_id": "resp_abc123"
-}
-```
-
-The gap is that A2A continuation state is multi-field while OpenAI continuation is
-typically single-field.
-
-## Current implementation notes
-
-- A2A currently has `A2AAgentSession`, but `A2AAgent.create_session(...)` does not automatically return it.
-- A2A currently mirrors `context_id` into `service_session_id`; that is current behavior, not necessarily the target
-  abstraction.
-- A2A `task_id` is not just cosmetic correlation. It is used for `task_id` when a task is `INPUT_REQUIRED`, for
-  `reference_task_ids` when refining a previous task, and inside `A2AContinuationToken` for in-progress tasks.
-- `RawAgent._prepare_run_context(...)` currently forwards `active_session.service_session_id` as chat `conversation_id`,
-  so any non-string or formatted value affects existing chat-client paths.
-- `OpenAIChatClient` maps chat options `conversation_id` to the Responses API as `previous_response_id` for `resp_*`,
-  `conversation` for `conv_*`, and defaults unrecognized strings to `previous_response_id`. When `store` is not `False`,
-  it returns `response.conversation.id` when available, otherwise `response.id`, as the next service continuation value.
-- For Responses API, the response id (`resp_*`) is also the response/message identity surfaced as
-  `ChatResponse.response_id`; when used for continuation on the next request, it becomes the `previous_response_id`
-  value.
-- Python A2A has not been released as stable yet, so its session factory or session shape can still be adjusted before
-  release.
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- Preserve `AgentSession.session_id` as the local/client conversation identity.
-- Preserve `AgentSession.service_session_id` as an opaque service-owned continuation handle.
-- Keep `AgentSession` for durable state needed across turns, not per-run bookkeeping.
-- Store values needed by future calls in durable session state; keep values that only resume in-progress work in
-  `ContinuationToken`.
-- Fix the current confusion where session, task, response, and continuation values can be treated as interchangeable
-  because they all participate in "continuing" something.
-- Make the implementation following this ADR preserve the lifetime split clearly: future-call state, in-progress resume
-  tokens, response/message ids, and protocol event correlation must not be silently mixed.
-- Expose durable continuation state in a typed way when future calls depend on it.
-- Let telemetry correlate runs without parsing opaque service continuation handles.
-- Reuse existing run/context surfaces before introducing a new identity abstraction.
-- Keep MCP and other remote tool boundaries safe: framework identity must not be forwarded to remote tools unless an
-  existing explicit opt-in mechanism says so.
-- Keep existing `AgentSession.to_dict()` / `from_dict()` migration and compatibility straightforward.
-- Stay close to .NET where there is already behavior to match, especially A2A's `ContextId`, `TaskId`, and `TaskState`.
-- Detect incompatible session identity shapes as early as practical, preferably before a remote service call.
-
-## Non-goals
-
-- Do not design a provider-agnostic conversation creation API here. That is tracked separately in #6622.
-- Do not make `service_session_id` a generic telemetry or run-correlation field.
-- Do not introduce a new identity object if existing run/context objects can carry the selected per-run correlation value.
-- Do not make a session from one agent guaranteed to work against another agent.
-- Do not optimize the public `agent.run(...)` API for protocol-wrapper internals.
-
-## Remaining question: durable shape for additional continuation state
-
-- Option A: Use protocol-specific `AgentSession` subclasses.
-- Option B: Extend `service_session_id` with richer service-owned values.
-- Option C: Add a dedicated dict for additional session details.
-- Option D: Store additional durable state inside `AgentSession.state`.
-
-### Option A: Use protocol-specific `AgentSession` subclasses
-
-Each protocol or agent type that needs additional durable state keeps a specialized `AgentSession` subclass. For A2A,
-that means keeping `A2AAgentSession` for A2A-specific durable state and changing `A2AAgent.create_session(...)` to return
-that type.
-
-Example:
-
-```python
-# First call returns a task that future A2A messages may need to reference.
-session = await a2a_agent.create_session()
-
-response = await a2a_agent.run(
-    message,
-    session=session,
-)
-
-# A2AAgent updates durable A2A protocol state from the returned task/status payload.
-# The user does not set these manually.
-assert isinstance(session, A2AAgentSession)
-assert session.task_id is not None
-assert session.task_state is not None
-
-# Later call reuses the durable A2A session state. A2AAgent decides whether to send task_id
-# for INPUT_REQUIRED or reference_task_ids for task refinement.
-next_response = await a2a_agent.run(
-    next_message,
-    session=session,
-)
-```
-
-- Good, because protocol-specific state stays in a protocol-specific type.
-- Good, because it aligns with .NET A2A's `A2AAgentSession` shape.
-- Good, because Python A2A can still make this pre-release session factory adjustment.
-- Good, because `task_state` does not get promoted to a base `AgentSession` concept.
-- Bad, because generic consumers cannot read protocol-specific state without knowing about the subclass or a helper API.
-- Bad, because it depends on each subclass consistently setting shared session fields such as `service_session_id` where
-  those are part of the shared abstraction.
-
-### Option B: Extend `service_session_id` with richer service-owned values
-
-Keep the common `service_session_id` case as a plain string. When an agent/service needs more than one service-owned
-continuation value, allow `service_session_id` to be a typed structured value, such as a `TypedDict`. The main session ID
-used for `gen_ai.conversation.id` should still be extracted by the owning agent, not inferred by generic telemetry code.
-
-Examples:
-
-```python
-simple_session = AgentSession(
-    service_session_id="resp_123",
-)
-
-structured_session = AgentSession(
-    service_session_id=A2AServiceSessionId(
-        context_id="ctx_123",
-        task_id="task_789",
-        task_state=TaskState.TASK_STATE_WORKING,
-    ),
-)
-```
-
-- Good, because the common case remains a plain string and stays simple.
-- Good, because richer service-owned continuation state stays under the existing continuation property.
-- Good, because a structured value can make framework-side validation possible before a value is sent back to a service.
-- Good, because A2A can keep `context_id`, `task_id`, and `task_state` together as the service/protocol-owned continuation
-  value without adding A2A fields to base `AgentSession`.
-- Neutral, because telemetry needs an agent-owned extractor to pick the `gen_ai.conversation.id` value from either a
-  string or structured `service_session_id`.
-- Neutral, because Python A2A would need a pre-release adjustment to stop relying on `A2AAgentSession` for these fields.
-- Bad, because changing the `service_session_id` type is a compatibility risk for users, providers, serialization, and
-  tests.
-- Bad, because every path that sends `service_session_id` back to a service must consistently extract/adapt the
-  service-owned continuation component.
-
-### Option C: Add a dedicated dict for additional session details
-
-Keep `service_session_id` as the primary opaque service-owned continuation handle, and add a separate dictionary for
-additional durable protocol/service values that need to travel with the session.
-
-Example:
-
-```python
-session = AgentSession(
-    service_session_id="ctx_123",
-    session_details={
-        "task_id": "task_456",
-        "task_state": TaskState.TASK_STATE_WORKING,
-    },
-)
-```
-
-- Good, because the main service continuation handle stays a plain `service_session_id` string.
-- Good, because extra state has an explicit home and does not overload `service_session_id`.
-- Good, because generic consumers can look in one documented place for additional session-scoped values.
-- Neutral, because helper APIs can hide the raw dictionary access.
-- Bad, because this still introduces string-keyed state unless the dict values are wrapped by typed helpers.
-- Bad, because it adds another public session field that needs serialization, naming, and compatibility rules.
-- Bad, because generic consumers still need to understand the shape or use helpers for the selected agent/session type.
-
-### Option D: Store additional durable state inside `AgentSession.state`
-
-Keep base `AgentSession` unchanged and store additional durable continuation/protocol state under namespaced keys in
-`session.state`.
-
-Example:
-
-```python
-session = AgentSession(session_id="ctx_123")
-
-session.state["a2a"] = {
-    "task_id": "task_456",
-    "task_state": TaskState.TASK_STATE_WORKING,
-}
-```
-
-- Good, because it avoids new public fields and avoids a subclass requirement.
-- Good, because `AgentSession.state` already exists for provider/session state.
-- Neutral, because helper APIs can hide the raw dictionary access.
-- Bad, because stringly typed state is easier to corrupt and harder to validate.
-- Bad, because generic consumers need helper APIs anyway; directly reading nested dictionaries is not a good abstraction.
-- Bad, because users may accidentally overwrite or persist invalid protocol state.
-
-## Decision
-
-Chosen decision criteria for the future: **split identity by lifecycle**.
-
-When a protocol emits an id/token, place it by answering "what lifecycle does this value serve?":
-
-- **Future-call continuation state** -> durable session state. Examples: A2A `context_id` + `task_id` + `task_state`;
-  OpenAI Responses `previous_response_id`/`conversation`.
-- **Single-result identity** -> response/message object only. Examples: OpenAI `resp_*`, A2A `message_id`,
-  A2A `artifact_id`.
-- **Resume unfinished work** -> `ContinuationToken` only. Example: a token carrying in-progress task resume data.
-- **Run-start-only request fields** -> run method arguments/options, not durable session state. Example: A2A
-  `reference_task_ids` for a specific follow-up/refinement request.
-- **Per-run correlation/telemetry** -> protocol wrapper or run context, not `AgentSession`. Example: wrapper-managed
-  `run_id` used only for tracing/events.
-
-Durable-state option decision: **Option B: Extend `service_session_id` with richer service-owned values**.
-This does **not** add a new top-level identity abstraction; it keeps continuation identity under
-`service_session_id` and keeps run correlation in existing run/telemetry context.
-The immediate implementation gap is mainly in A2A mapping clarity, but the lifecycle split applies
-consistently across providers.
-
-To support telemetry, `BaseAgent` should expose a method that accepts an `AgentSession | None` and returns the value to
-use for `gen_ai.conversation.id`. The default implementation should return `session.service_session_id` when it is a
-string. Agents that use a structured `service_session_id`, such as `A2AAgent`, should override that method and return the
-appropriate primary session/context value.
-
-## Appendix: A2A `task_id` and `reference_task_ids` implementation check
-
-The A2A protocol distinguishes a message's `task_id` from `reference_task_ids`:
-
-- `task_id` associates the message with a specific task.
-- `reference_task_ids` provides additional task context, for example when a new task refines or follows up on the result
-  of a previous task.
-
-The protocol does not appear to prescribe that `task_id` and `reference_task_ids` are mutually exclusive. If both are
-present, the natural reading is that the message is associated with one task while also referencing other tasks for
-context. The serving agent decides how to interpret that context.
-
-The Python implementation should check and likely adjust the current behavior:
-
-- `task_id` should be updated by the current run when the remote A2A service returns a task/status payload.
-- `task_id` should remain durable A2A session state when needed for future calls, for example when a task is
-  `INPUT_REQUIRED`.
-- `reference_task_ids` should be a run parameter / caller intent for the current request, not implicit durable session
-  continuation state.
-- A follow-up/refinement request should pass explicit `reference_task_ids` when it wants to reference previous tasks.
-- If both session `task_id` and run `reference_task_ids` are present, the wrapper should preserve the protocol
-  distinction rather than treating one as a replacement for the other.
-- If no `reference_task_ids` are supplied, the wrapper should not automatically infer them from the last session task
-  unless we deliberately keep that convenience for compatibility.
-
-## Appendix: implementation notes for Option B
-
-The exact names are implementation details, but the shape should be:
-
-```python
-class A2AServiceSessionId(TypedDict):
-    context_id: str
-    task_id: str | None
-    task_state: TaskState | None
-
-
-class AgentSession:
-    def __init__(
-        self,
-        *,
-        session_id: str | None = None,
-        service_session_id: str | ServiceSessionId | None = None,
-    ) -> None:
-        ...
-
-
-class BaseAgent:
-    def _get_otel_conversation_id(self, session: AgentSession | None) -> str | None:
-        service_session_id = session.service_session_id if session else None
-        return service_session_id if isinstance(service_session_id, str) else None
-
-
-class A2AAgent(BaseAgent):
-    def _get_otel_conversation_id(self, session: AgentSession | None) -> str | None:
-        service_session_id = session.service_session_id if session else None
-        if isinstance(service_session_id, Mapping):
-            return service_session_id.get("context_id")
-        return service_session_id if isinstance(service_session_id, str) else None
-
-
-class AgentTelemetryLayer:
-    def _trace_agent_invocation(...):
-        attributes = _get_span_attributes(
-            ...,
-            thread_id=self._get_otel_conversation_id(session),
-            ...,
-        )
-```
-
-This keeps the OpenTelemetry extraction decision with the agent that owns the service continuation shape. Generic OTel
-code should not parse structured `service_session_id` values directly.
-
-`AgentSession` must also be updated so `service_session_id` can store either the current string value or a structured
-service-owned value. Serialization must preserve both shapes, and existing serialized sessions with string
-`service_session_id` must continue to round-trip unchanged.

-# Hosted platform context (user id + call id) for Foundry Hosting on AgentServer 2.0
-
-Supersedes [ADR-0026](0026-hosted-session-identity-context.md).
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-[ADR-0026](0026-hosted-session-identity-context.md) sourced the hosted-agent end-user identity from `ResponseContext.Isolation` (an `IsolationContext` typed `UserIsolationKey` / `ChatIsolationKey`), injected by the platform as the `x-agent-user-isolation-key` and `x-agent-chat-isolation-key` headers.
-
-`Azure.AI.AgentServer.*` 2.0.0 (responses protocol `2.0.0`) removes that surface. `ResponseContext.Isolation` is gone; the platform now exposes `ResponseContext.PlatformContext` (a `PlatformContext` typed `UserIdKey` and `CallId`), populated from the `x-agent-user-id` and `x-agent-foundry-call-id` headers. The chat isolation key no longer exists, and a new per-request **call id** is introduced that first-party Foundry services (the toolbox proxy in particular) require on outbound calls to resolve the server-side-stored caller context. The hosting layer in `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.Hosting` had to migrate to this contract without changing the public shape that samples and providers depend on.
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- Track the breaking `Azure.AI.AgentServer.*` 2.0.0 surface (`PlatformContext` replacing `Isolation`) while keeping the same per-user partitioning guarantees from ADR-0026.
-- Keep the change **internal**: existing hosted samples and `AIContextProvider`s must not need code changes. `session.GetHostedContext().UserId`, `HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider`, and `AddFoundryResponses` stay source-compatible.
-- Forward the new per-request call id verbatim on outbound calls to Foundry first-party services so per-user toolbox OAuth consent and other server-side caller-context lookups keep working.
-- Remain resilient on protocol `1.0.0`: when only the legacy headers are present, `UserIdKey` still resolves and `CallId` is simply absent.
-- Preserve the strict-resume tamper defense from ADR-0026 with identity now reduced to user only.
-
-## Considered Options
-
-For the identity source:
-
-1. **Map `ResponseContext.PlatformContext.UserIdKey`** into the existing `HostedSessionContext` (user only), keeping ADR-0026's storage shape and read accessor.
-2. Keep a `ChatId` slot on `HostedSessionContext` for backward source-compatibility, populated from `CallId` or left null.
-
-For the call id propagation:
-
-A. **A request-scoped ambient (`HostedCallContext`, an `AsyncLocal<string?>`)** set by the handler and re-applied before each egress point, read by the outbound delegating handler.
-B. Thread the call id through every method signature down to the toolbox bearer handler.
-
-For session keying (previously implied by the conversation/chat pairing):
-
-I. **`HostedConversationKey`** resolving a stable partition from `conversation_id ?? partition(previous_response_id) ?? partition(responseId)`.
-II. Continue keying on the container session id (`FOUNDRY_AGENT_SESSION_ID`).
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-Chosen: **Option 1** for identity, **Option A** for call id, **Option I** for session keying.
-
-Rationale:
-
-- **`ChatId` dropped (Option 2 rejected).** The platform no longer supplies a chat key; carrying a synthetic one would invent identity the trust boundary does not provide. `HostedSessionContext` becomes user-only (`HostedSessionContext(string userId)` / `UserId`), and the strict-resume check validates `UserId` alone. The corresponding `HostedFoundryMemoryProviderScopes` values `PerChat` and `PerUserAndChat` are removed; `PerUser` is retained.
-- **Ambient call id (Option B rejected).** Writing `HostedCallContext.CallId` inside the streaming `async IAsyncEnumerable` iterator is reverted across each `yield`, so a single up-front assignment is lost before the toolbox/MCP egress runs. The handler therefore captures `context.PlatformContext?.CallId` once and **re-applies it immediately before each egress point**; `FoundryToolboxBearerTokenHandler` forwards it as `x-agent-foundry-call-id`. The ambient is request-scoped and never leaks into the caller's execution context (guarded by a unit test).
-- **`HostedConversationKey` (Option II rejected).** One container serves many conversations for its lifetime, so the container session id cannot key per-conversation state. The partition key is derived from the conversation/`previous_response_id`/minted response id instead.
-
-Implementation summary in `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.Hosting`:
-
-| Type | Visibility | Change vs ADR-0026 |
-|---|---|---|
-| `HostedSessionContext` | public sealed | Now user-only (`UserId`); `ChatId` removed. |
-| `PlatformHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider` | internal sealed | Maps `context.PlatformContext.UserIdKey` (was `context.Isolation.UserIsolationKey` / `ChatIsolationKey`). |
-| `HostedCallContext` | internal static | New. Request-scoped `AsyncLocal<string?>` holding the `x-agent-foundry-call-id` value. |
-| `HostedConversationKey` | internal | New. Resolves the per-conversation partition key. |
-| `FoundryToolboxBearerTokenHandler` | internal | Now also forwards `x-agent-foundry-call-id` outbound. |
-| `HostedFoundryMemoryProviderScopes` | public | `PerChat` / `PerUserAndChat` removed; `PerUser` kept. |
-
-Package manifests bump the responses container protocol to `2.0.0` (invocations stays `1.0.0`).
-
-## Consequences
-
-Positive:
-
-- Per-user memory partitioning and the strict-resume tamper defense from ADR-0026 are preserved with no public API churn for samples or providers.
-- Per-user toolbox OAuth consent and other server-side caller-context lookups keep working because the per-request call id is forwarded on egress.
-- Works unchanged on protocol `1.0.0` (no call id) and `2.0.0`.
-
-Negative:
-
-- `HostedSessionContext.ChatId` and the `PerChat` / `PerUserAndChat` memory scopes are removed; any out-of-tree consumer that referenced them must move to user-scoped partitioning.
-- The call id must be re-applied before every egress point because of the async-iterator `AsyncLocal` revert; a missed re-apply silently drops the header. This is covered by unit tests.
-
-## Out of scope
-
-- HMAC tamper signatures over the persisted context remain unimplemented; equality comparison against `ResponseContext.PlatformContext` on every request is sufficient because the platform sets the header at the trust boundary.
-- The per-request `User` field on `CreateResponse` is still intentionally not consumed.

-# Per-agent and per-user session-storage isolation for Foundry Hosting
-
-Builds on [ADR-0030](0030-hosted-platform-context-agentserver-2.0.md).
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-A Foundry hosted container can serve many end users (and, in .NET, many agents) over its lifetime. The
-`AgentSessionStore` persists each turn's `AgentSession` (which for a workflow agent carries the workflow
-checkpoint, and which also carries the tool-approval mapping via `ToolApprovalIdMap` in the session state
-bag). [ADR-0030](0030-hosted-platform-context-agentserver-2.0.md) protected cross-user access only through
-the strict-resume identity check (a 403 when the persisted `HostedSessionContext.UserId` does not match the
-live request). The persisted artifacts themselves were keyed by `conversationId` (+ agent name), not
-physically partitioned per user, so a forged `conversation_id` would still resolve to another user's file
-path before the identity check rejected it.
-
-The Python hosting package added physical per-user partitioning (`<root>/<user_id>/<context_id>`) plus a
-reject-style path-traversal guard. We want .NET to provide the same defense-in-depth, adapted to the .NET
-hosting model.
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- Defense in depth: a forged/guessed id must not even resolve to another tenant's storage path, independent
-  of the identity check.
-- Multi-agent hosting: a single .NET container hosts multiple agents resolved from keyed DI, so the layout
-  must isolate per agent as well as per user (Python hosts a single agent and needs no agent layer).
-- Path-traversal safety (CWE-22) for the untrusted, platform-injected user id.
-- Back-compat for local development (no `x-agent-user-id` header) and for direct/non-hosted store use.
-- Keep the change contained and avoid the async-iterator `AsyncLocal` revert hazard from ADR-0030.
-
-## Considered Options
-
-- **Path partition inside `FileSystemAgentSessionStore`**, threading the user id explicitly through the
-  `AgentSessionStore` API, with self-describing prefixed segments.
-- A delegating store that prefixes the conversation id with the user id (the
-  `IsolationKeyScopedAgentSessionStore` pattern from `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Hosting`). Rejected: still needs the
-  user id on the read path and yields a flat key rather than nested per-tenant directories.
-- An `AsyncLocal<string?>` user-context set by the handler. Rejected: the session is saved in the handler's
-  `finally` after the streaming `yield`s, where an `AsyncLocal` set up front is reverted (the same hazard
-  that forced explicit call-id re-application in ADR-0030). Explicit threading is safer and clearer.
-- A separate per-user approval store (as in Python). Rejected as unnecessary: see below.
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-Path layout with self-describing, prefixed segments; user id threaded explicitly:
-
-    {root}/ a-{agentName} / u-{userId} / c-{contextId}.json
-
-- `a-` (agent), `u-` (user), `c-` (context) are constant literals applied to the sanitized/validated value,
-  so a collapsed layout is never ambiguous and a user id can never masquerade as an agent name.
-- `contextId` is `HostedConversationKey.Resolve` (conversation_id, else the partition of
-  previous_response_id, else of the minted response id).
-- The agent and context layers are always present (Foundry always deploys a named agent). The only
-  collapse is the `u-` layer: present when a user id is resolved (Foundry header, or local dev fallback),
-  absent for raw local runs with no header (`{root}/a-{agent}/c-{conv}.json`). There is no user-only or
-  no-agent layout.
-
-Other elements:
-
-- `string? userId` was added as a **required** parameter (no default) on `AgentSessionStore.GetSessionAsync` /
-  `SaveSessionAsync` (a contained, breaking change to the experimental Foundry abstraction; both in-tree
-  implementations and the two handler call sites were updated). It is required rather than optional so a
-  caller can never silently persist a session unscoped; a genuine no-user caller (local without the header,
-  or a non-hosted direct caller) passes `null` explicitly. `AgentFrameworkResponseHandler` resolves the user
-  id before loading the session.
-- Path-traversal guard: the user id is rejected (not sanitized) when it is not a single safe path segment
-  (path separators, NUL, drive letters, rooted paths, all-dot segments). After building the path, the
-  fully-resolved path is asserted to remain under the storage root.
-- The strict-resume 403 identity check from ADR-0030 is **kept** as the second defense layer (it still
-  catches a session that reaches the wrong partition, e.g. via a non-partitioning custom store or in-process
-  tampering).
-- **No separate approval store.** The tool-approval mapping lives in `ToolApprovalIdMap` ->
-  `AgentSessionStateBag`, which is serialized into the session checkpoint, so partitioning the session path
-  isolates pending approvals per tenant automatically. (Python needs a separate per-user approval store only
-  because it models approvals as a standalone store.)
-
-## Consequences
-
-Positive:
-
-- Cross-tenant isolation is now defense-in-depth: physical per-agent/per-user partitioning plus the identity
-  check. Approvals and workflow checkpoints inherit the partitioning because they ride in the session.
-- Self-describing prefixes make the on-disk layout auditable and collision-free across collapse cases.
-
-Negative:
-
-- Breaking change to the experimental Foundry `AgentSessionStore` API (added `userId`).
-- The on-disk layout and leaf filename change (`<conv>.json` -> `c-<conv>.json`), orphaning sessions written
-  by the ADR-0030 release. Acceptable for an experimental package; a fresh session is created on next use.
-
-## Out of scope
-
-- Encryption at rest and quota enforcement remain platform concerns.
-- Non-Foundry hosting layers can adopt an equivalent scheme independently.
-
-## Update (2026-07-01): local runs no longer fail closed; sample dev provider removed
-
-Superseding the ADR-0026/0030 behavior where a `null` result from `HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider`
-always became a 500, `AgentFrameworkResponseHandler` now branches on `FoundryEnvironment.IsHosted`:
-
-- **Hosted** (`IsHosted == true`, production): a `null` identity is still a hard error (500). Isolation
-  stays strict; the platform always injects `x-agent-user-id`.
-- **Not hosted** (local `docker run` / `dotnet run`): a `null` identity is tolerated. Per-user isolation
-  is simply not triggered — the handler passes `userId == null` to the store (the documented "no user
-  partition", `{root}/a-{agent}/c-{conv}.json`), stamps no `HostedSessionContext`, and runs no
-  strict-resume check. Contributors can run a hosted image locally with zero extra setup.
-
-Consequently the sample-side `DevTemporaryLocalUserIdProvider` and `AddDevTemporaryLocalContributorSetup`
-were removed. To simulate distinct users locally, send an `x-agent-user-id` request header; the default
-`PlatformHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider` reads it via `ResponseContext.PlatformContext.UserIdKey`
-(the SDK's `PlatformContext.FromRequest` populates it from the header unconditionally, hosted or not).

-- **Safe sink defaults**: tools not explicitly marked `readOnlyHint=True` are treated as potential sinks and receive `max_allowed_confidentiality=public`.
-- **Result labels from metadata**: MCP result `_meta` is propagated via `__mcp_result_meta__`; `_meta.ifc` is parsed into `security_label` per result item.
-- **`SecureMCPToolProxy` convenience**: wraps MCP tools/URLs and applies this labeling automatically on connect.
-
-This behavior is used with the GitHub MCP server when `X-MCP-Features: ifc_labels` is passed, which causes the server to return IFC labels in `_meta` (for example `{"ifc": {"integrity": "untrusted", "confidentiality": "public"}}`).

-# Python protocol helpers and optional execution state
-
-## Scope
-
-This specification is the Python implementation plan for
-[ADR-0027](../decisions/0027-hosting-channels.md). It documents the helper-first v1 contract for Python hosting.
-
-The v1 contract is:
-
-- protocol packages expose helper functions that convert protocol-native input to Agent Framework run values;
-- protocol packages expose helper functions that convert Agent Framework run results or streams back to protocol-native
-  payloads or operations;
-- application/framework code owns routes, native SDK clients, authentication, command policy, webhooks, response status
-  codes, and outbound sends;
-- `agent-framework-hosting` provides small optional state holders for Agent Framework targets;
-- state helpers do not own web apps, route contribution, protocol dispatch, command projection, or native SDK calls.
-
-## Goals
-
-- Let apps expose agents and workflows from FastAPI, Starlette, Django, Azure Functions, native SDK webhooks, CLIs, and
-  tests without adopting a host/channel framework.
-- Keep protocol parsing and response formatting inside protocol packages.
-- Keep session continuity explicit and app-owned at the trust boundary.
-- Reuse Agent Framework primitives: `AgentSession`, `CheckpointStorage`, `Agent.run(...)`, `Workflow.run(...)`, and
-  `ResponseStream`.
-- Preserve full-fidelity Agent Framework results until a protocol helper renders them.
-
-## Non-goals for v1
-
-### App-owned in v1
-
-The app builder owns these concerns with normal web-framework, SDK, platform, or application code:
-
-- authentication, authorization policy, and allowlists;
-- deciding whether identities across protocols map to the same `session_id`;
-- non-originating sends using native SDK clients;
-- background work, durable execution, retry, and replay when app code owns the work;
-- routing between multiple agents.
-
-The helper-first model makes app-owned linking and non-originating delivery easier than the old host/channel model because
-app code already owns the native SDK clients, authenticated caller context, session id selection, and outbound sends.
-
-### Future framework work
-
-The following require a separate reviewed design before becoming reusable framework features:
-
-- reusable cross-channel identity linking;
-- framework-owned proactive or non-originating delivery;
-- fan-out, multicast, selected-channel, active-channel, or all-linked delivery;
-- framework-owned delivery observability, dead-letter handling, and replay semantics;
-- cross-channel confidentiality and link policy.
-
-[ADR-0028](../decisions/0028-hosting-linking-multicast-enhancements.md) tracks possible follow-up work in this area and
-must be aligned with the helper-first model before implementation. Old vocabulary such as `IdentityLinker`,
-`ResponseTarget`, `ChannelPush`, `ChannelPushCodec`, `DurableTaskRunner`, `RetryPolicy`, and `LinkPolicy` is not v1 API.
-
-## Packages
-
-| Package | Import surface | v1 helper-first contents |
-|---|---|---|
-| `agent-framework-hosting` | `agent_framework_hosting` | `AgentState`, `WorkflowState`, `SessionStore`, and run-argument `TypedDict`s. |
-| `agent-framework-hosting-a2a` | `agent_framework_hosting_a2a` | A2A `Message` to run conversion and Agent Framework output to A2A `Part` conversion. |
-| `agent-framework-hosting-mcp` | `agent_framework_hosting_mcp` | Agent and workflow MCP tool adapters, MCP tool arguments to run conversion, and Agent Framework output to MCP `ContentBlock` conversion. |
-| `agent-framework-hosting-responses` | `agent_framework_hosting_responses` | Responses helpers: request parsing, session id extraction, response id creation, response rendering, streaming rendering. |
-| `agent-framework-hosting-telegram` | `agent_framework_hosting_telegram` | Telegram Bot API helpers: update parsing, chat/session/command/media extraction, final rendering, and streaming edit rendering. |
-| Future protocol packages | e.g. `agent_framework_hosting_activity_protocol` | Protocol-specific helpers such as `activity_to_run(...)`, `activity_from_run(...)`, `activity_session_id(...)`, and command/media helpers when useful. |
-
-The core hosting package must not depend on protocol SDKs. Protocol packages may depend on their native protocol SDKs if
-needed, but helper functions should stay usable from plain app code and tests.
-
-## Helper naming and families
-
-Helper names are protocol-specific. Avoid a generic `protocol_to_run(...)` public surface.
-
-Protocol packages may provide the following helper families when the protocol has the concept:
-
-| Helper family | Shape | Purpose |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| Run conversion | `<protocol>_to_run(...)` | Convert one protocol-native call/update/request into `Agent.run` or `Workflow.run` values. |
-| Final rendering | `<protocol>_from_run(...)` | Convert a final `AgentResponse` or workflow result into protocol-native response payloads or operations. |
-| Stream rendering | `<protocol>_from_streaming_run(...)` | Convert `ResponseStream` or workflow updates into protocol-native events or operations. |
-| Session id extraction | `<protocol>_session_id(...)` | Extract the protocol's natural continuation/partition key from the call, if present. |
-| Command/action parsing | `<protocol>_command(...)` | Parse a protocol-native command/action/operation name without deciding app policy. |
-
-Examples:
-
-- `responses_to_run(...)`, `responses_from_run(...)`, `responses_from_streaming_run(...)`,
-  `responses_session_id(...)`;
-- `a2a_to_run(...)`, `a2a_from_run(...)`;
-- `telegram_to_run(...)`, `telegram_from_run(...)`, `telegram_from_streaming_run(...)`,
-  `telegram_session_id(...)`, `telegram_command(...)`;
-- `activity_to_run(...)`, `activity_from_run(...)`, `activity_session_id(...)`, `activity_command(...)`;
-- `discord_to_run(...)`, `discord_from_run(...)`, `discord_session_id(...)`, `discord_command(...)`.
-
-This table is a naming guide, not a required checklist. A protocol package should add only the helpers that match native
-protocol concepts and current samples.
-
-Protocol-specific helpers may also exist for native details such as `telegram_chat_id(...)`,
-`telegram_callback_query_id(...)`, `telegram_media_file_id(...)`, `discord_interaction_id(...)`, `a2a_task_id(...)`,
-`a2a_context_id(...)`, or MCP tool/prompt/resource helpers. These helpers should stay side-effect-free. App/native SDK
-code performs acknowledgements, sends/edits messages, resolves protected file URLs, applies rate limits, and registers
-handlers.
-
-## `agent-framework-hosting` state helpers
-
-### `SessionStore`
-
-`SessionStore` is an in-memory async lookup:
-
-```python
-class SessionStore:
-    async def get(self, session_id: str) -> AgentSession | None: ...
-    async def set(self, session_id: str, session: AgentSession) -> None: ...
-    async def delete(self, session_id: str) -> None: ...
-```
-
-The store does not create sessions. It stores `session_id -> AgentSession` values supplied by callers.
-
-The built-in store has no TTL or eviction. This is intentional for local/dev and simple process-local scenarios: protocols
-such as OpenAI Responses can continue from any prior response id. Durable or multi-replica deployments should provide a
-durable store and their own TTL/eviction policy.
-
-### `AgentState`
-
-`AgentState` holds an agent target and an optional `SessionStore`:
-
-```python
-state = AgentState(agent)
-state = AgentState(create_agent)
-state = AgentState(create_agent, cache_target=False)
-```
-
-The target may be:
-
-- a `SupportsAgentRun` instance;
-- a synchronous factory;
-- an asynchronous factory;
-- an awaitable target.
-
-`AgentState` provides:
-
-- `await get_target()`;
-- synchronous `target` only after a target is already available/resolved;
-- `session_store`;
-- `await get_or_create_session(session_id)`;
-- `await set_session(session_id, session)`.
-
-`get_or_create_session(...)` resolves the target and calls `target.create_session(session_id=...)` only when the store has
-no session for that id.
-
-Apps must store the post-run session explicitly after `agent.run(...)` or stream finalization:
-
-```python
-session = await state.get_or_create_session(session_id)
-target = await state.get_target()
-result = await target.run(messages, session=session, options=options)
-await state.set_session(response_id, session)
-```
-
-### `WorkflowState`
-
-`WorkflowState` resolves a workflow target. It does not own checkpoint storage.
-
-The target may be:
-
-- a `Workflow` instance;
-- a `WorkflowBuilder` or other object with `build() -> Workflow`;
-- a synchronous factory;
-- an asynchronous factory;
-- an awaitable target.
-
-`WorkflowState` provides:
-
-- `await get_target()`;
-- synchronous `target` only after a target is already available/resolved.
-
-A workflow instance permits one active run. Concurrent hosts use a factory or
-builder with `cache_target=False` to resolve a fresh instance per run.
-
-Workflow checkpointing uses Agent Framework's existing `CheckpointStorage` abstraction directly. Apps that need
-per-session workflow resume should keep an app-owned cursor such as `session_id -> checkpoint_id`. When the app uses
-file-backed cursor storage, the file-based checkpoint storage should share the same app storage root and should be
-scoped to the current authenticated user/tenant/session bucket, for example
-`storage/checkpoints/<session-bucket>/` beside `storage/checkpoint_cursors.json`:
-
-```python
-# session_id must already be authenticated and authorized for this caller
-target = await workflow_state.get_target()
-checkpoint_id = await checkpoint_cursor_store.get(session_id)
-if checkpoint_id is None:
-    result = await target.run(message=workflow_input, checkpoint_storage=checkpoint_storage)
-else:
-    result = await target.run(checkpoint_id=checkpoint_id, checkpoint_storage=checkpoint_storage)
-latest = await checkpoint_storage.get_latest(workflow_name=target.name)
-if latest is not None:
-    await checkpoint_cursor_store.set(session_id, latest.checkpoint_id)
-```
-
-`Workflow.run(...)` does not currently emit a checkpoint id on `WorkflowRunResult` or normal workflow events by default.
-The runner receives checkpoint ids internally from `CheckpointStorage.save(...)`. Apps that own the storage can query
-`get_latest(workflow_name=...)` after the run if they need to update a cursor.
-
-## `agent-framework-hosting-responses`
-
-The Responses package provides the helper-first surface for OpenAI Responses-shaped requests.
-
-### Request helpers
-
-- `messages_from_responses_input(input) -> list[Message]`
-- `responses_to_run(body) -> AgentRunArgs`
-- `responses_session_id(body) -> str | None`
-- `create_response_id() -> str`
-
-`responses_to_run(...)` returns values corresponding to `Agent.run(...)`:
-
-```python
-run = responses_to_run(body)
-messages = run["messages"]
-options = run["options"]
-stream = run["stream"]
-```
-
-It excludes protocol transport/session fields from `options` and remaps known Responses option names such as
-`max_output_tokens -> max_tokens`.
-
-`responses_session_id(...)` returns:
-
-- `previous_response_id` when present (`resp_*`);
-- otherwise `conversation_id` when present (`conv_*`);
-- otherwise `None`.
-
-The helper only extracts the candidate key. App code decides whether to trust and use that key.
-
-### Response helpers
-
-- `responses_from_run(result, *, response_id, session_id=None) -> dict[str, Any]`
-- `responses_from_streaming_run(stream, *, response_id, session_id=None) -> AsyncIterator[str]`
-
-`responses_from_run(...)` renders a full Responses JSON payload from an `AgentResponse`. It renders the full set of
-OpenAI Responses output item types supported by Agent Framework content.
-
-`responses_from_streaming_run(...)` renders Server-Sent Event strings for a `ResponseStream`. It emits a created event,
-text deltas, and a completed event. The final completed payload is produced through `responses_from_run(...)`; the helper
-also preserves the model id observed on streaming updates when the finalized `AgentResponse` no longer carries raw model
-metadata.
-
-## `agent-framework-hosting-a2a`
-
-The A2A package provides only the conversion seam between the native A2A SDK
-and Agent Framework:
-
-- `a2a_to_run(message, *, stream=False) -> AgentRunArgs`
-- `a2a_from_run(result) -> list[a2a.types.Part]`
-
-`a2a_to_run(...)` accepts a native A2A `Message` and converts its text, URL,
-raw-byte, and structured-data parts into one Agent Framework user message.
-
-`a2a_from_run(...)` accepts an `AgentResponse`, `Message`, or
-`AgentResponseUpdate` and converts supported text, URI, and data content into
-native A2A `Part` values. This one helper is usable for both completed and
-streaming runs.
-
-The package does not provide an A2A `AgentExecutor`, application, route,
-request handler, task store, event queue, `TaskUpdater`, task-state policy,
-artifact-id policy, or session-key policy. Application code composes the two
-helpers with those native A2A SDK constructs and may use any server framework
-supported by the SDK.
-
-## `agent-framework-hosting-mcp`
-
-The MCP package provides only the conversion seam between native MCP SDK values
-and Agent Framework:
-
-- `MCPAgentTool(target, ...)`
-- `MCPWorkflowTool(target, ...)`
-- `mcp_to_run(arguments, *, argument_name="task", chat_option_arguments=()) -> AgentRunArgs`
-- `mcp_from_run(result) -> list[mcp.types.ContentBlock]`
-
-`MCPAgentTool` represents one Agent Framework agent as one native MCP tool. It
-derives the default tool name and description from the agent, accepts
-overrides for those values and the main text parameter, includes app-owned
-additional parameter schemas, and explicitly maps selected parameter schemas
-to ChatOptions. Its asynchronous `list_tools()` returns the native `Tool` list,
-and `call_tool(...)` performs conversion, agent execution, and final result
-conversion.
-
-The adapter accepts either an agent or an existing `AgentState`. With a
-configured `session_id_parameter`, it loads and stores the corresponding
-`AgentSession`. The application remains responsible for deriving and
-authorizing the session id and preventing concurrent updates to the same
-session.
-
-`MCPWorkflowTool` represents one Agent Framework workflow as one native MCP
-tool. It derives the tool name and description from the workflow and derives
-the input schema from the start executor's single declared input type.
-Object-shaped dataclass and Pydantic inputs become top-level MCP arguments;
-primitive inputs are wrapped in one configurable argument. The adapter
-validates the arguments against that type, runs the workflow, and converts
-terminal outputs to MCP content blocks.
-
-Workflow instances preserve state and reject concurrent runs. Applications
-that need independent calls should provide a `WorkflowState` factory with
-`cache_target=False`. Checkpoint restoration, human-in-the-loop responses, and
-continuation identifiers remain application-owned contracts. If a workflow
-stops to request external input, the adapter raises rather than returning an
-empty successful tool result.
-
-`mcp_to_run(...)` accepts the argument mapping from a native MCP `call_tool`
-handler. The application owns the tool schema and may select which required
-string argument contains the user request. The application should define that
-argument name once and use the same value in the native tool schema and the
-`argument_name` parameter so those two sides of the contract remain aligned.
-Applications may also expose selected ChatOptions fields in their native tool
-schema and pass those names through `chat_option_arguments`. Only explicitly
-selected names are copied to run options; the helper does not forward all MCP
-arguments or own their JSON Schema validation.
-
-MCP `tools/call` arguments are JSON-only and do not have a native multimodal
-content-block union. The package does not impose a non-standard JSON
-representation for multimodal tool arguments.
-
-`mcp_from_run(...)` accepts an `AgentResponse` or `Message`. It converts text,
-URI, image data, audio data, and other binary data into native MCP content
-blocks.
-
-Its output is specifically the content union accepted by `CallToolResult`.
-Sampling-only values such as `ToolUseContent` belong to the separate MCP
-sampling response path and are not emitted by this hosting helper.
-
-MCP `tools/call` returns one final `CallToolResult`. Streamable HTTP can carry
-multiple MCP messages and progress notifications can report operation status,
-but the protocol does not define partial tool-result content chunks.
-Experimental MCP tasks defer retrieval of the same final result. Therefore the
-conversion helpers do not expose Agent Framework streaming updates.
-
-The package does not provide an MCP `Server`, handler registration, transport, route,
-session policy, authentication, authorization, or deployment wrapper.
-Application code composes the adapters and conversion helpers with native MCP SDK constructs and
-may use stdio, streamable HTTP, or another transport supported by the SDK.
-
-## `agent-framework-hosting-telegram`
-
-The Telegram package provides side-effect-free helpers around Telegram Bot API
-update and method payloads. It does not provide a Bot API client, polling loop,
-webhook route, command registry, retry policy, or rate limiter.
-
-### Update helpers
-
-- `telegram_to_run(update, *, resolve_file_url=None, stream=False) -> AgentRunArgs`
-- `telegram_chat_id(update) -> int | None`
-- `telegram_session_id(update, *, bot_id) -> str | None`
-- `telegram_command(update) -> str | None`
-- `telegram_callback_query_id(update) -> str | None`
-- `telegram_media_file_id(update_or_message) -> tuple[str, str] | None`
-
-`telegram_to_run(...)` handles `message`, `edited_message`, and
-`callback_query` updates. Text and captions become AF text content. When the
-app supplies an async `resolve_file_url` callback, supported Telegram media
-file ids can become AF URI content. The package does not call Telegram's
-`getFile` method itself.
-
-`telegram_session_id(..., bot_id=...)` includes the bot identity in every key.
-Private chats return `telegram:<bot_id>:<user_id>`; other chats return
-`telegram:<bot_id>:<chat_id>`, giving groups a shared session by default. This
-matches Telegram's native isolation boundaries while preventing two bots from
-sharing state accidentally. Apps that want per-user sessions inside a group
-can construct a key that includes both chat and sender ids. The app must
-authorize those Telegram identities before loading session state.
-
-`telegram_command(...)` parses Telegram's `/name` and `/name@bot` syntax. It
-does not register commands or invoke handlers.
-
-### Response helpers
-
-- `telegram_from_run(result, *, chat_id, parse_mode=None)`
-- `telegram_from_streaming_run(stream, *, chat_id, message_id, initial_text=None, parse_mode=None)`
-
-The helpers produce Telegram method/payload values for app-owned Bot API
-calls. Final rendering supports text and image URI output and applies
-Telegram's text-length boundary. Streaming rendering produces cumulative
-`editMessageText` payloads for a placeholder message id supplied by the app,
-omitting edits that match an optional `initial_text`, then renders the final
-rich output. Image-only responses remove the placeholder with `deleteMessage`
-before sending the image. The app owns the initial placeholder send, Bot API
-calls, edit throttling, retries, and failure policy.
-
-## Security responsibilities
-
-Protocol helper packages parse and render. They do not authenticate callers, authorize access to state, or decide which
-side effects are allowed.
-
-Application code that uses these helpers is responsible for:
-
-- authenticating the caller through the app's normal mechanism before using protocol-provided ids;
-- authorizing any caller-supplied session, checkpoint, task, context, conversation, thread, or response id before loading
-  state for it;
-- binding externally supplied ids to the authenticated user, tenant, workspace, installation, or chat context before
-  using them as `SessionStore` keys or checkpoint cursor keys;
-- treating `<protocol>_session_id(...)` results as untrusted candidate keys until that ownership check has passed;
-- keeping platform-provided isolation helpers fail-closed outside their trusted hosting environment;
-- authorizing command/action effects such as reset, cancel, approve, submit, or tool invocation after parsing them;
-- opting in explicitly before resolving protected media/resource/file URLs and passing them to a remote model provider;
-- persisting post-run session or checkpoint state only after `agent.run(...)`, `workflow.run(...)`, or stream finalization
-  has updated that state.
-
-## Persistent versus transient hosting
-
-The application builder decides whether the server is persistent or transient.
-
-- Persistent single-process apps, such as a long-running container or web app, may use in-memory state for local
-  development or simple deployments. Multi-replica persistent apps still need durable state for continuity.
-- Transient apps, such as Azure Functions, Foundry Hosted Agents, or any environment where process memory is not a
-  reliable boundary, must not rely on in-memory `SessionStore` state between calls. They need a durable session store or
-  a service-owned continuation id.
-- Workflow hosts must choose an explicit `CheckpointStorage` and, when they need per-session resume, a durable
-  `session_id -> checkpoint_id` cursor. File-backed checkpoint storage and file-backed cursor storage should live under
-  the same app storage root, with checkpoints scoped to the current authenticated user/tenant/session bucket so a
-  "latest checkpoint" lookup cannot cross conversations. In-process workflow state and in-memory checkpoint cursors do
-  not survive transient execution.
-
-## Minimal FastAPI Responses shape
-
-This is the shape the local Responses sample should demonstrate. It is not an app framework.
-
-```python
-from collections.abc import AsyncIterator
-
-from agent_framework import ResponseStream
-from agent_framework_hosting import AgentState
-from agent_framework_hosting_responses import (
-    create_response_id,
-    responses_from_run,
-    responses_from_streaming_run,
-    responses_session_id,
-    responses_to_run,
-)
-from fastapi import Body, FastAPI, HTTPException
-from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse, StreamingResponse
-
-app = FastAPI()
-state = AgentState(create_agent)
-
-
-@app.post("/responses", response_model=None)
-async def responses(body: dict = Body(...)) -> JSONResponse | StreamingResponse:
-    run = responses_to_run(body)
-    candidate_session_id = responses_session_id(body)
-    response_id = create_response_id()
-
-    # Verify this caller owns candidate_session_id before loading it.
-    session_id = candidate_session_id or response_id
-    session = await state.get_or_create_session(session_id)
-    target = await state.get_target()
-
-    if run["stream"]:
-        stream = target.run(run["messages"], stream=True, session=session, options=run["options"])
-        if not isinstance(stream, ResponseStream):
-            raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail="agent did not return a response stream")
-
-        async def events() -> AsyncIterator[str]:
-            async for event in responses_from_streaming_run(
-                stream,
-                response_id=response_id,
-                session_id=candidate_session_id,
-            ):
-                yield event
-            await state.set_session(response_id, session)
-
-        return StreamingResponse(events(), media_type="text/event-stream")
-
-    result = await target.run(run["messages"], session=session, options=run["options"])
-    await state.set_session(response_id, session)
-    return JSONResponse(responses_from_run(result, response_id=response_id, session_id=candidate_session_id))
-```
-
-## Validation
-
-Implementation validation must cover:
-
-- `SessionStore` plain get/set/delete behavior;
-- `AgentState` target resolution, target caching, and get-or-create session behavior;
-- `WorkflowState` target resolution for direct workflows, factories, `WorkflowBuilder`, and orchestration-style builders;
-- Responses request parsing and option remapping;
-- Responses session id extraction;
-- Responses response rendering, including rich output item mapping;
-- Responses streaming SSE rendering;
-- HTTP round-trip tests showing a native FastAPI route using `AgentState` and Responses helpers;
-- sample type checking for the local Responses sample.
-- Telegram update parsing, chat/session/command/media extraction, final
-  rendering, and streaming edit rendering;
-- sample type checking for the local Telegram polling and webhook entry points.

-description: >
-  Guidance for creating pull requests and handling PR review comments in the
-  Agent Framework repository. Use this when writing a PR description (filling out
-  the PR template) or when responding to and resolving review comments on an
-  existing PR.
----
-
-# Pull Request Workflow
-
-This skill covers two tasks: (1) writing a high-quality PR description, and
-(2) handling review comments on an existing PR.
-
-## 1. Writing the PR description
-
-Always follow the repository PR template at
-[`.github/pull_request_template.md`](../../../../.github/pull_request_template.md). Keep its
-exact structure and headings. Fill every section:
-
-### `### Motivation & Context`
-Explain *why* the change is needed: the problem it solves and the scenario it
-contributes to. Describe the net change relative to `main` — this is implied, so
-do **not** spell out "vs main" explicitly.
-
-### `### Description & Review Guide`
-Describe the changes, the overall approach, and the design. Answer the three
-prompts:
-- **What are the major changes?**
-- **What is the impact of these changes?**
-- **What do you want reviewers to focus on?** — This item is for **human
-  reviewers only**. Automated/AI reviewers must ignore it and review the entire
-  change rather than narrowing scope to it.
-
-### `### Related Issue`
-Link the issue the PR fixes using a GitHub closing keyword (`Fixes #123` /
-`Closes #123`) so it closes automatically on merge. A PR with no linked issue may
-be closed regardless of how valid the change is. Before opening, confirm there is
-no other open PR for the same issue; if there is, explain how this PR differs.
-
-### `### Contribution Checklist`
-Check every item that applies. For the breaking-change item:
-- Leave **"This is not a breaking change."** checked for the common case.
-- If the change **is** breaking, add the `breaking change` label **or** put
-  `[BREAKING]` in the title prefix, before or after a language prefix such as
-  `Python:` or `.NET:` — workflows keep the label and the title prefix in sync
-  automatically (see `.github/workflows/label-title-prefix.yml` and
-  `.github/workflows/label-pr.yml`).
-
-### Do not
-- Do **not** add ad-hoc sections such as "Validation" or "Tests run"; CI/CD and
-  the checklist already cover validation status.
-- Do **not** remove or reorder the template's headings.
-
-### Creating the PR
-Open new PRs as **drafts** until they are ready for review. Example:
-
-```bash
-gh pr create --repo microsoft/agent-framework --base main \
-  --head <your-fork-owner>:<branch> --draft \
-  --title "<concise title>" --body "<body following the template>"
-```
-
-## 2. Handling review comments
-
-When a PR receives review comments, follow this sequence — **do not start editing
-code before the user has reviewed the plan**:
-
-1. **Review the comments.** Read every review comment and thread on the PR,
-   including inline code comments and general review summaries.
-2. **Make a plan.** Produce a concrete plan describing how each comment will be
-   addressed (or why it should not be, with reasoning).
-3. **Let the user review the plan.** Present the plan and wait for the user's
-   approval or adjustments before implementing anything.
-4. **Implement.** Make the agreed changes.
-5. **Reply to every comment.** Add a reply to **all** comments explaining how it
-   was addressed (or the agreed outcome) — leave none unanswered.
-6. **Resolve resolved threads.** Mark a review thread as resolved only when the
-   comment has actually been addressed.
-
-### Useful commands
-
-List review comments and threads:
-
-```bash
-# Inline review comments
-gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/comments
-
-# Review threads with resolution state (GraphQL)
-gh api graphql -f query='
-  query($owner:String!,$repo:String!,$pr:Int!){
-    repository(owner:$owner,name:$repo){
-      pullRequest(number:$pr){
-        reviewThreads(first:100){
-          nodes{ id isResolved comments(first:50){ nodes{ id body author{login} } } }
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }' -F owner={owner} -F repo={repo} -F pr={pr}
-```
-
-Reply to an inline review comment:
-
-```bash
-gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/comments/{comment_id}/replies \
-  -f body="Addressed in <commit>: <explanation>"
-```
-
-Resolve a review thread (needs the thread node id from the GraphQL query above):
-
-```bash
-gh api graphql -f query='
-  mutation($threadId:ID!){
-    resolveReviewThread(input:{threadId:$threadId}){ thread{ isResolved } }
-  }' -F threadId={thread_id}
-```
