Eduard van Valkenburg 094d8d209a Python: Lazy load root agent_framework exports (#6962)
* Lazy load root agent_framework exports

Move the root public API to lazy runtime exports backed by a typed stub, keep Runner deprecation handling in the owning workflow runner module, and document the maintenance pattern.

* Tighten harness factory typing

Add a private harness stub so create_harness_agent has a fully known public signature without depending on agent-framework-tools at runtime.

* Address lazy root export review comments

Harden the circular import guard and add root export smoke tests covering representative lazy imports, star imports, and root stub export synchronization.

See AGENTS.md for project structure and package documentation. Detailed conventions are in the agent skills under .github/skills/.

When changing the public root API surface (agent_framework/__init__.py), keep the lazy runtime export registry, explicit runtime __all__, and agent_framework/__init__.pyi synchronized. Runtime deprecation behavior for a public alias should live in the owning module, not as a special case in the root package.
