Eduard van Valkenburg d75f2286f4 Python: Add Telegram channel for agent-framework-hosting (#6698)
* Python: Add Telegram channel for agent-framework-hosting

- Add agent-framework-hosting-telegram package with TelegramChannel
  supporting polling and webhook transports, streaming edits with
  Telegram Bot API rate limiting, per-chat serial workers, and
  multi-modal inbound/outbound (text, photo, document, voice)
- Add local_telegram sample demonstrating multi-channel hosting with
  a TelegramChannel alongside ResponsesChannel, using per-chat
  FileHistoryProvider and a run_hook for Telegram persona temperature
- Fix test layout: move tests to tests/hosting_telegram/ (no __init__.py)
- Remove old [tool.mypy] section and mypy poe task; source type-checking
  is handled by pyright via shared_tasks
- Update uv.lock, pyproject.toml workspace sources, and PACKAGE_STATUS.md

Fixes #6588
Refs #6265

* Python: Address Telegram channel CI failures and review feedback

- Fix webhook secret validation to use constant-time compare_digest
- Harden webhook update parsing: require integer chat IDs and guard slash-only commands
- Fix streaming edge cases in TelegramChannel:
  - prevent edit worker deadlocks when text exceeds 4096 chars
  - prevent deadlock when placeholder send fails (message_id stays None)
  - enforce edit throttling with minimum interval sleep
  - honor send_typing_action=False in streaming mode
  - always forward final multimodal output (e.g. images), while avoiding duplicate text sends
- Expand Telegram tests for slash-only command handling, non-int chat IDs, and streaming behavior (long text, final images, typing toggle)
- Fix sample/docs feedback:
  - rename sample package to agent-framework-hosting-sample-local-telegram
  - switch sample uv.sources from feature branch to main
  - align docs/tool names with lookup_weather
  - fix broken links and server run instructions in README/call_server.py
  - align local_telegram app docstrings with reasoning hook behavior and strip model in responses_hook

* Python: Fix TelegramChannel streaming to iterate contents for multimodal support

- Remove stale PR reference from module docstring
- Add Google-style docstring to TelegramChannel.__init__ documenting all keyword args
- Fix _stream_to_chat to iterate update.contents instead of using
  getattr(update, 'text', None); text chunks are extracted from Content
  items with type='text', non-text content in updates is correctly
  ignored (images etc. are forwarded via the final response)
- Update _FakeStreamUpdate test helper to use contents list matching the
  real AgentResponseUpdate API; add from_text/from_image class methods
- Update _FakeResponseStream to accept _FakeStreamUpdate objects directly
- Add test verifying multimodal stream updates don't corrupt text accumulator

* Python: Split local_telegram into simple Telegram-only and new multi-channel sample

local_telegram is now a focused Telegram-only sample:
- Removes ResponsesChannel and all responses_hook code
- Removes call_server.py (no HTTP endpoint to call)
- Uses a deterministic lookup_weather tool (hash-based, not random)
- Single run_hook that strips model and raises reasoning effort
- Drops agent-framework-hosting-responses dependency

New local_multi_channel sample shows running both channels at once:
- ResponsesChannel + TelegramChannel sharing a FileHistoryProvider
- Cross-channel session resumption via previous_response_id
- call_server.py moved here (the Responses endpoint lives here now)
- Demonstrates the multi-channel coordination story

Update README table to list both samples with clear descriptions.

Also delete personal_assistant/.venv which was not tracked but caused
pyright to crawl the entire installed venv (thousands of files),
making sample pyright checks hang indefinitely.

* Python: Fallback when Telegram final edit fails

- only mark final edit as sent after a confirmed 2xx edit response
- fall back to sendMessage when final edit returns a non-success status
- add regression test covering failed final edit fallback behavior

* Python: Fix optional await_args typing in telegram test

- assert await_args is not None before reading kwargs in streaming fallback test
- resolves test-typing failures across mypy/pyright/ty/zuban for hosting-telegram

Python Samples

This directory contains samples demonstrating the capabilities of Microsoft Agent Framework for Python.

Structure

Folder Description
01-get-started/ Progressive tutorial: hello agent → hosting
02-agents/ Deep-dive by concept: tools, middleware, providers, orchestrations
03-workflows/ Workflow patterns: sequential, concurrent, state, declarative, explicit output designation
04-hosting/ Deployment: Azure Functions, Durable Tasks, A2A
05-end-to-end/ Full applications, evaluation, demos

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
  4. 04_memory.py — Agent memory with ContextProvider
  5. 05_functional_workflow_with_agents.py — Call agents inside a functional workflow
  6. 06_functional_workflow_basics.py — Write a workflow as a plain async function
  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.
