Eduard van Valkenburg 6e95517659 Python: Split type checkers by target (pyright source, 5 checkers on tests/samples) (#6443)
* Python: Split type checkers by target (pyright source, 5 checkers on tests/samples)

Rework the typing setup along the lines of the 'too many type checkers'
approach:

- Pyright (strict) is now the sole source-code type checker; mypy is
  removed from source and its [tool.mypy] block becomes a relaxed profile
  used only for tests/samples.
- Tests are checked by all five checkers (pyright relaxed, mypy, pyrefly,
  ty, zuban); samples by pyright, pyrefly, and ty. All run in a relaxed/
  basic profile so authors aren't forced into over-annotation.
- Add pyrightconfig.tests.json and bump sample pyright configs to basic.
- Unify test/sample typing onto the same parallel fan-out used by source
  pyright via run_command_items in task_runner.py.
- Make version-conditional imports symmetric: keep or drop the
  '# type: ignore' on both branches so results match across interpreter
  versions (local vs CI).
- Update SKILL.md, DEV_SETUP.md, and CODING_STANDARD.md for the five
  gating checkers and pyright on source+tests+samples.

* Python: Fix merge regressions from main (typing + runtime)

Merging main into the type-checker split branch surfaced regressions that
the new five-checker test suite and unit tests caught:

Runtime fixes:
- anthropic: restore the dropped `cache_read_input_token_count` mapping in
  _parse_usage_from_anthropic (lost during merge conflict resolution).
- gemini: _get_function_calling_mode test helper returned str(enum)
  ('FunctionCallingConfigMode.AUTO') instead of the enum value ('AUTO').
- openai: _response_id_from_token test helper was an infinite self-recursion;
  return token['response_id'].
- orchestrations: reset output_events per approval iteration so the terminal
  output assertion counts only the final run.
- core: drop a stale duplicate harness test whose message ('non-negative')
  contradicted the source ('positive').
- purview: import PolicyLocation/PolicyScope/ProtectionScopeActivities/
  ExecutionMode used by the processor tests.

Type-checker fixes (tests, relaxed profile):
- core: pyright/mypy/pyrefly/ty/zuban green-ups across the harness, MCP,
  observability and types tests.
- anthropic/openai: route provider-namespaced UsageDetails keys through a
  dict cast (extra_items TypedDict unsupported by mypy/ty).
- purview: typed model constructors and cache-mock casts.
- ag-ui: annotate WorkflowContext[Any, Any] so yield_output accepts test
  payloads, guard Optional forwarded_props, and ty-ignore intentional bad args.

Source pyright (sole source checker) flagged unnecessary ignores newly
introduced by merged code in core _tools.py and declarative _declarative_base.py.

* Python: Isolate per-package mypy cache in test-typing fan-out

The parallel test-typing fan-out runs many mypy processes concurrently,
all defaulting to a single shared ./.mypy_cache. Concurrent writes corrupt
the cache and mypy aborts with INTERNAL ERROR (intermittently, depending on
worker timing) -- which is why CI's Test Typing job failed on a shifting set
of packages while a single-package run was fine.

Give each mypy invocation an isolated cache dir keyed by its target paths so
incremental caching still works per package without races. Other checkers
(zuban/pyrefly/ty/pyright) maintain their own caches and are unaffected.

* Python: Make lab pyright-only on source (drop source mypy)

Lab was the last package still running mypy on its source code, requiring
mypy-only `# type: ignore` comments that pyright (the sole source checker
everywhere else) flags as unnecessary. Align lab with the rest of the
monorepo:

- Remove the lab source mypy poe tasks (mypy-gaia/lightning/tau2) and the
  now-dead strict [tool.mypy] config block.
- Drop the 'Run lab mypy' CI step; lab source is type-checked by pyright only.

Lab tests remain covered by the workspace test-typing fan-out (mypy, pyrefly,
ty, zuban, pyright over tests using the relaxed root config).

* Python: Fix test-typing regressions from latest main merge

A fresh merge from main brought in new test code never run under the
five-checker test-typing suite. Green up across the affected packages:

- core: narrow Optional span.attributes with 'and' guards in span filters
  and assert+cast the json.loads(...attributes[...]) reads (test_observability);
  match the existing as_agent ignore on the protocol-typed fixture (test_clients).
- openai: align new streaming tests with the established chat_options dict
  pattern (ChatOptions TypedDict isn't assignable to dict), route Optional
  .annotations[0] access through a small _first_annotation helper (mirrors the
  file's assert-not-None convention), and annotate a mapped ResponseStream.
- foundry_hosting: annotate error: dict[str, Any] = body.get(...) or {}
  (zuban needs the annotation).
- foundry: narrow ignores for the live AIProjectClient credential arg (pyrefly)
  and connections.get_default (zuban) SDK type gaps.

* updated pyright version

* pyright fix

* Python: Fix source typing for pyright 1.1.410

Pyright 1.1.410 tightened several checks. Apply the same source fixes as
upstream PR #6275:

- anthropic: import AsyncAnthropicBedrock from anthropic.lib.bedrock and
  AsyncAnthropicVertex from anthropic.lib.vertex (no longer re-exported from
  the anthropic top-level package -> reportPrivateImportUsage).
- core _types.py: cast the transform-hook result to UpdateT (reportAssignmentType).
- core _workflows/_events.py: annotate the @contextmanager helper as
  Generator[None] instead of Iterator[None] (reportDeprecated).
- redis: build the combined filter expression with an explicit loop instead of
  reduce(and_, ...), which pyright could no longer fully type (drops the now
  unused functools.reduce / operator.and_ imports).

* Python: Accept plain-text body in Azure Functions workflow/run endpoint

The workflow_orchestrator already accepts plain strings as well as JSON
objects via context.get_input(), but the start_workflow_orchestration HTTP
handler only accepted JSON and returned 400 for any non-JSON body. This made
the functions integration tests that POST text/plain to /api/workflow/run
(e.g. test_09_workflow_shared_state) fail consistently with 400 != 202.

Fall back to the raw request body (decoded as UTF-8) when the body is not
JSON, rejecting only a truly empty body. The JSON path is unchanged.

Getting Started

Start with 01-get-started/ and work through the numbered files:

  1. 01_hello_agent.py — Create and run your first agent
  2. 02_add_tools.py — Add function tools with @tool
  3. 03_multi_turn.py — Multi-turn conversations with AgentSession

  7. 07_first_graph_workflow.py — Build a workflow with executors and edges
  8. 08_host_your_agent.py — Host your agent via Azure Functions

Prerequisites

pip install agent-framework

Environment Variables

Samples call load_dotenv() to automatically load environment variables from a .env file in the python/ directory. This is a convenience for local development and testing.

For local development, set up your environment using any of these methods:

Option 1: Using a .env file (recommended for local development):

  1. Copy .env.example to .env in the python/ directory:
    cp .env.example .env
    
  2. Edit .env and set your values (API keys, endpoints, etc.)

Option 2: Export environment variables directly:

export FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="your-foundry-project-endpoint"
export FOUNDRY_MODEL="gpt-4o"

Option 3: Using env_file_path parameter (for per-client configuration):

All client classes (e.g., OpenAIChatClient, OpenAIChatCompletionClient) support an env_file_path parameter to load environment variables from a specific file:

from agent_framework.openai import OpenAIChatClient

# Load from a custom .env file
client = OpenAIChatClient(env_file_path="path/to/custom.env")

This allows different clients to use different configuration files if needed.

For the generic OpenAI clients (OpenAIChatClient and OpenAIChatCompletionClient), routing precedence is:

  1. Explicit Azure inputs such as credential, azure_endpoint, or api_version
  2. OPENAI_API_KEY / explicit OpenAI API-key parameters
  3. Azure environment fallback such as AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT and AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY

If you keep both OpenAI and Azure variables in your shell, the generic clients stay on OpenAI until you pass an explicit Azure input.

For the getting-started samples, you'll need at minimum:

FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="your-foundry-project-endpoint"
FOUNDRY_MODEL="gpt-4o"

Consolidated sample env inventory

This is the single source of truth for package-level environment variables read by packages included by agent-framework-core[all]. It intentionally excludes variables that are only read by standalone samples, package sample folders, or tests. When package code adds, removes, or renames an environment variable, update this table in the same change.

Example values below are illustrative. For entries not backed by a single public class, the class column names the closest public surface, helper, or package-level initialization point that reads the variable.

agent-framework-openai supports the Azure OpenAI client-specific deployment aliases listed above; keep packages/openai/README.md as the authoritative reference for the exact fallback order and package-specific behavior.

Note for production: In production environments, set environment variables through your deployment platform (e.g., Azure App Settings, Kubernetes ConfigMaps/Secrets) rather than using .env files. The load_dotenv() call in samples will have no effect when a .env file is not present, allowing environment variables to be loaded from the system.

For Azure authentication, run az login before running samples.

Note on XML tags

Some sample files include XML-style snippet tags (for example <snippet_name> and </snippet_name>). These are used by our documentation tooling and can be ignored or removed when you use the samples outside this repository.
