Ben Thomas 54a30571aa Dotnet - Add support for Foundry Adaptive evals (#6267)
* .NET: feat(evals): RubricScore type + EvalScoreResult.Dimensions

Adds the core rubric-evaluator surface that mirrors the Python work in

PR #6101 (commit e45b934cc). Provider-agnostic types only — no Foundry

coupling. Subsequent commits will wire these into FoundryEvals.

- RubricScore: per-dimension score record (Id, Score?, Applicable, Weight, Reason).

- EvalScoreResult.Dimensions: optional init-only list of RubricScore.

  Null for non-rubric (built-in) evaluators.

* .NET: feat(evals): GeneratedEvaluatorRef + assertion helpers

Adds the provider-agnostic surface for referencing a pre-existing rubric

evaluator and gating CI on per-item / per-dimension thresholds. Mirrors

Python PR #6101 commits e5830dd7f (ref type) and 4bc60462d (asserts).

- GeneratedEvaluatorRef: name + optional version/display-name, plus a

  Latest(name) factory for versionless refs (discouraged for CI; consumers

  should warn at run time).

- AgentEvaluationResults.AssertScoreAtLeast: walks DetailedItems[].Scores,

  optionally filtered by evaluator name, recurses into SubResults.

- AgentEvaluationResults.AssertDimensionScoreAtLeast: walks each score's

  Dimensions list, skips non-applicable dimensions by default, supports

  requireApplicable to flip that, recurses into SubResults.

- AgentEvaluationResults.AssertNoFailedItems: walks DetailedItems for

  fail/error statuses, recurses into SubResults.

All helpers throw InvalidOperationException (matches existing AssertAllPassed).

Truncates offender lists to the first 5 with a '+N more' suffix to keep

CI output readable, mirroring the Python helpers.

* .NET: feat(foundry-evals): accept GeneratedEvaluatorRef in evaluators=

Adds FoundryEvaluatorSpec, a readonly-struct union with implicit conversions
from both string and GeneratedEvaluatorRef so call sites can mix built-in
evaluator names with rubric evaluator references:

    var evals = new FoundryEvals(
        projectClient, model,
        new GeneratedEvaluatorRef("policy-rubric", "3"),
        FoundryEvals.Relevance,
        FoundryEvals.Coherence);

FoundryEvals constructors (3 overloads), EvaluateTracesAsync, and
EvaluateFoundryTargetAsync now take FoundryEvaluatorSpec[]/params instead of
string[]/params. Existing call sites using string literals or string[] keep
working unchanged via implicit conversion.

FoundryEvalConverter.BuildTestingCriteria emits the documented Foundry wire
format for rubric refs:
  {
    "type": "azure_ai_evaluator",
    "name": <DisplayName ?? Name>,
    "evaluator_name": <Name>,
    "evaluator_version": <Version>,   // omitted when null
    "initialization_parameters": { "deployment_name": <model> },
    "data_mapping": { conversation arrays, optional tool_definitions }
  }

WireTestingCriterion gains an optional EvaluatorVersion field. Rubric refs
are preserved through FilterToolEvaluators (tool-aware but not tool-required)
and ignored by FindMissingGroundTruthEvaluators. A versionless ref emits a
Trace.TraceWarning at criterion-build time so CI authors notice the floating
version (mirrors the Python warning).

Adds 6 new Foundry unit tests (3 BuildTestingCriteria rubric paths, 1
FindMissingGroundTruthEvaluators, 1 FilterToolEvaluators preservation, 1
mixed-order). 369/369 Foundry tests pass.

* .NET: feat(foundry-evals): parse rubric dimension_scores into RubricScore

Adds FoundryEvals.ParseRubricScores, called per result inside ParseDetailedItem.
Each EvalScoreResult now populates Dimensions when the evaluator's sample carries
a rubric breakdown.

Accepts three shapes for forward compatibility with provider SDK iterations:

  1. sample.properties.dimension_scores  (canonical Foundry runtime shape)
  2. sample.properties.rubric_scores     (preview/legacy key)
  3. top-level sample.dimension_scores / sample.rubric_scores  (defensive fallback)

Entries missing 'id', 'weight', or 'applicable' are skipped without invalidating
well-formed siblings. Non-applicable dimensions may omit 'score' (parsed as null).

Adds 6 unit tests covering canonical and legacy keys, top-level fallback, no-match
returns null, malformed-entry skipping, and the non-applicable null-score path.
375/375 Foundry tests pass.

* .NET: feat(samples): Evaluation_FoundryRubric end-to-end sample

Adds dotnet/samples/05-end-to-end/Evaluation/Evaluation_FoundryRubric mirroring
the Python evaluate_with_rubric_sample.py:

  - Fetches a pre-existing Foundry agent via AgentAdministrationClient
    (GetAgentAsync for latest, GetAgentVersionAsync when FOUNDRY_AGENT_VERSION
    is pinned).
  - References a rubric evaluator by GeneratedEvaluatorRef(name, version);
    falls back to GeneratedEvaluatorRef.Latest(name) with the documented
    floating-version warning.
  - Mixes the rubric with FoundryEvals.Relevance and FoundryEvals.Coherence
    in a single FoundryEvals run (implicit string-and-ref conversion).
  - Prints per-dimension breakdowns from EvalScoreResult.Dimensions for each
    item.
  - Demonstrates a CI quality gate with AssertDimensionScoreAtLeast("general_quality", 3.0).

Documents the FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT footgun (must be project-scoped URL
.../api/projects/<project>, not the bare Azure OpenAI endpoint) and the
Eval-Definition-vs-Rubric-Evaluator distinction in the README. Ships a
.env.example with the FOUNDRY_* variables.

Registers the project in agent-framework-dotnet.slnx and cross-links from
the sibling Evaluation_Multimodal / Evaluation_ExpectedOutputs READMEs.

* fix(foundry-evals): harden FoundryEvals public surface for review

Address PR #6267 review comments on the .NET FoundryEvals integration:

- Add source-compat overloads accepting `string[] evaluators` for `FoundryEvals` ctor, `EvaluateTracesAsync`, and `EvaluateFoundryTargetAsync` so existing callers passing string arrays keep compiling unchanged. New overloads forward via a private `ToSpecs` helper that wraps each name through the implicit `string -> FoundryEvaluatorSpec` conversion.

- Guard against `default(FoundryEvaluatorSpec)` entries (both `BuiltinName` and `GeneratedRef` null) that would NRE the downstream converter. Adds `FoundryEvaluatorSpec.IsValid` / `EnsureValid` plus an internal `EnsureAllSpecsValid` helper, wired into the main ctor and both static evaluation entry points.

- Add 6 unit tests covering the new validation surface.

* fix(sample): set ExitCode=1 when rubric dimension gate trips

PR #6267 review comment: the FoundryRubric sample swallowed the AssertDimensionScoreAtLeast failure, so a CI run that included it as a quality gate would still exit 0 even when the rubric regressed. Set `System.Environment.ExitCode = 1` in the catch so CI fails while still letting the rest of the sample's logging complete cleanly.

* fix(foundry-evals): search typed Sample directly for rubric scores

PR #6267 review comment: `_extract_rubric_scores` only searched the `properties` dict when the sample exposed one. When the Azure AI Projects typed SDK returns a Sample object that puts `dimension_scores` / `rubric_scores` directly on the instance (no `properties` wrapper), we missed them and surfaced no per-dimension scores.

Add an `else: containers.append(sample)` branch so non-dict typed samples are also inspected for the score keys. Covered by two new tests: one with `dimension_scores` directly on a typed Sample without a `properties` wrapper, and one with the legacy `rubric_scores` key in the same shape.

* test(evals): cover assert_score_at_least and assert_no_failed_items

PR #6267 review comments: both assertion helpers shipped without unit tests. Add `TestAssertScoreAtLeast` (above threshold, below w/ offenders, evaluator filter, sub_results recursion) and `TestAssertNoFailedItems` (all passing, failed/errored statuses, sub_results recursion) with a shared `_score_results` fixture builder.

* docs(samples): remove dead rubric-evaluator doc link from FoundryRubric sample

The Azure AI Foundry rubric evaluator concept doc page has not yet been published, so the link in the sample README and Program.cs comment 404s. Drop the references until the upstream doc is live.
