* Add zip/code-deploy POC for Hosted-ChatClientAgent (.NET)
Migrate the sample to Foundry source (ZIP) deployment as the default: add azure.yaml with codeConfiguration (remote_build, dotnet_10) and the tool-generated .agentignore, make the csproj self-contained (single target, CPM off, published PackageReferences), and simplify Program.cs to the pristine end-user hosting path. Container files are kept for now; contributor and remaining samples handled in follow-ups.
* .NET: Auto-bind Foundry hosted port for zip/code deploy; migrate Hosted-ChatClientAgent to source (ZIP)
Foundry.Hosting: AddFoundryResponses now binds Kestrel to FoundryEnvironment.Port (the PORT env var, default 8088) for a plain WebApplication.CreateBuilder (Tier 3) host, mirroring AgentHostBuilder. This lets a source/ZIP-deployed .NET agent pass the readiness probe with no Dockerfile. It respects an explicit ASPNETCORE_URLS override and is idempotent. Adds FoundryListenPortTests plus a serialized env-var collection.
Hosted-ChatClientAgent: migrate to source (ZIP) deploy as the default. Add azure.yaml with codeConfiguration (remote_build, dotnet_10) and the tool-generated .agentignore, make the csproj self-contained (single target, CPM off) with a local Directory.Packages.props, embed the local-dev per-agent route so the Using-Samples REPL can reach the local server, and rewrite the README around the azd flow. Documents AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=dev for local runs.
Using-Samples/SimpleAgent: fix the per-agent endpoint scheme rewrite so the local HTTP dev port is preserved (the policy now lives on the per-agent ProjectOpenAIClientOptions that actually serves the request).
* .NET: Bind Foundry hosted port unconditionally; drop container files and the local-only agent route
Zip/code deploy runs the sample as a plain ASP.NET app, so the Foundry readiness
port was never bound and every invoke returned HTTP 424 session_not_ready. The
first attempt skipped the binding when ASPNETCORE_URLS was already set, but the
.NET base image always sets it to port 80, so the skip always tripped. Kestrel
ListenAnyIP overrides ASPNETCORE_URLS, so the binding is now unconditional and
PORT stays the only knob.
Sample cleanup for zip deploy:
* Remove Dockerfile, Dockerfile.contributor, agent.manifest.yaml and agent.yaml.
Source deploy needs none of them.
* Remove LocalDevEndpoint.cs and the invented per-agent local route. The local
server already serves the standard POST /responses route, so the client can
reach it directly.
* Trim .env.example: the port and environment variables are no longer needed.
* Exclude .checkpoints/ from the upload so local session state does not ship.
SimpleAgent now asks at startup whether to chat with the local server or the
deployed agent, the same choice azd ai agent invoke exposes through --local.
Local uses an OpenAI responses client pointed at http://localhost:8088; Foundry
uses the per-agent endpoint.
Add scripts/New-ContributorStage.ps1, which stages a sample to a temp folder with
the local Agent Framework source packed into a feed inside the upload, so
contributors can deploy framework changes through the same azd flow end users run.
* Pin hosted agent listen port in azure.yaml
* Use the documented env map in azure.yaml
* Make the contributor flow an extra step inside the end-user flow
* Keep contributor scaffolding out of the sample project file
* Document the full deploy walkthrough and add a bash contributor script
* Trim troubleshooting detail from the sample README
* Pass the model deployment name to the hosted container
* Add --local and --remote flags to the SimpleAgent REPL
* Use central package management in the hosted sample
* Clarify where the contributor step fits in the deploy walkthrough
* Restore the HTTP scheme rewrite for local AIProjectClient runs
* Keep the sample package versions in the project file
* Drop the sample Directory.Packages.props
* Add a container deploy variant of the hosted chat client agent sample
* Treat a blank model deployment variable as unset
* Let azd prompt for the Foundry project and expand the contributor section
* Document the stale conversation 404 in the hosted agent samples
* Remove using directives already covered by global usings
* Bind the Foundry listen port only inside a hosted container
* Resolve the Foundry listen port from IConfiguration
