Adam Lin f280742c01 Python: Samples: deterministic action-boundary validation middleware (#5366) (#6528)
* Python: add ATR validation FunctionMiddleware sample (execution-boundary validation, #5366)

Adds python/samples/02-agents/middleware/atr_validation_middleware.py: a
FunctionMiddleware that validates tool arguments at the execution boundary and
raises MiddlewareTermination before call_next() when they match an attack
pattern, so the tool never runs. This is the deterministic, single-enforcement-
point pattern named in #5366 and answers its open follow-up about a recommended
validation-at-execution-boundary sample.

The check is a small self-contained deny-list mirroring Agent Threat Rules (ATR)
intent (prompt injection, exfiltration, credential access in tool args); a
docstring notes how to swap in the full open ruleset via pyatr. No external
dependency, so the sample stays import-clean.

Updates the middleware README Files table.

* Python: Samples: run the real ATR engine in atr_validation_middleware

Address review on #6528:
- Load and run the real ATR ruleset via pyatr (ATREngine + AgentEvent
  tool_call event) instead of re-implementing a regex deny-list; the
  built-in deny-list is now only a fallback when pyatr is not installed.
- Add re.DOTALL (and a whole-text scan) to the fallback patterns so
  multiline injection payloads are not missed.
- Move load_dotenv() into main() so importing the module has no side
  effects.
- Route the middleware block/allow messages through a module logger
  instead of print().
- Include the matched ATR rule id in the log and in the
  MiddlewareTermination message for auditability.
- Update the middleware README entry to match.

* fix(samples): make ATR validation middleware pass ty/pyrefly typing CI

Resolve the three type-checker errors flagged on the samples typing jobs
(ty + pyrefly, reportMissingImports/reportAttributeAccessIssue via pyright):

- pyatr is an optional, unstubbed runtime dependency that is not installed
  in the typing CI env; mark its imports with `# type: ignore` so the
  unresolved-import error is suppressed while keeping the graceful
  ImportError -> deny-list fallback intact.
- Replace the function-attribute engine cache
  (`_detect_with_atr._engine`), which ty/pyrefly reject, with a clean
  `functools.lru_cache`-backed `_load_atr_engine()` loader.
- Type the argument-scanning helpers to accept the real
  `FunctionInvocationContext.arguments` type (`BaseModel | Mapping[str, Any]`)
  and normalise a pydantic model via `model_dump()` before scanning, fixing
  the invalid-argument-type error.

ty / pyrefly / pyright (samples config) / ruff check + format all clean on
the file; runtime block/allow behaviour verified for both dict and BaseModel
arguments.

* Python: Samples: simplify ATR middleware to plain pyatr import

Address review feedback (@eavanvalkenburg): now that the sample runs the
real pyatr engine, drop the optional-import scaffolding.

- Add a dependency header declaring pyatr (pip install pyatr).
- Switch to a plain top-level `import pyatr` and remove the
  try/except ImportError fallback path.
- Remove the regex deny-list (_FALLBACK_PATTERNS, _detect_with_fallback);
  keep 2-3 representative pattern shapes inline as a reference comment so
  readers still see the kind of rules ATR encodes. Detection is now a
  single straight-line engine call.
- Keep the prior typing fixes: `# type: ignore` on the pyatr import
  (unstubbed, absent in the typing CI env), the functools.lru_cache
  engine loader, and the BaseModel | Mapping[str, Any] signatures.

* fix: use PEP 723 inline script metadata for sample dependencies
