* first iteration of channel spec

* added deny link setup

* clarify invocation hook role and dedupe ADR/spec

ADR 0026:
- Tighten Decision Outcome Summary so each concept is mentioned once;
  defer full definitions to the Terminology section.
- Update ChannelInvocationHook bullet to match the clarified gap #7
  language (uniform ChannelRequest envelope, hook timing, illustrative
  examples).
- Drop Decision Drivers bullets that just restated Business Goals;
  cross-link to the goals section instead.
- Replace the More Information bullet list with a pointer to Non-Goals.

Spec 002:
- Trim requirement #21 to point at the canonical LinkPolicy section
  instead of restating the full contract.
- Add a #linkpolicy-and-trust_level subsection anchor for cross-refs.
- Trim the Terminology LinkPolicy entry's two-hosts caveat (canonical
  version stays in the Key Types section).

* updated adr and spec

* Update hosting channels ADR and spec

- Document FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider roundtrip of additional_properties namespaces via the agent_framework container key on stored OutputItems.
- Add Foundry storage gap subsection capturing the update_item service ask required for post-push delivery_tracking[] mutation.
- Triage open questions: 18 resolved (now in a Resolved Questions decisions log), 3 notes-updated, 6 unchanged. Capture spec-body follow-ups implied by the resolutions in a new Decisions-driven follow-ups subsection.

* Refine hosting ADR + spec: A2A/MCP-tool channels, store-parameter matrix, open-question pass

- Surface A2A and MCP-tool channels as explicitly designed-in but fast-follow work after the first Responses + Invocations + Telegram release. Updated ADR business goals, non-goals, and More Information; added spec reqs #25 (A2AChannel) and #26 (MCPToolChannel) under v1 Fast Follow; renumbered the WhatsApp/Teams entry to #27.
- New 'The Responses store parameter' subsection in the spec: 2x3 destination matrix making explicit that 'store' has no canonical meaning at the hosted-agent layer — the developer decides what it maps to across service-side, hosted-agent storage, and caller-side. Includes design properties on forwarding-vs-mapping, per-deployment documentation responsibility, and richer storage vocabulary via OpenAI's extra_body.
- Fixed contradicting spec text that previously claimed ResponsesChannel maps store=False to session_mode=disabled by default; updated channel options table, session_mode terminology entry, and Scenario 3 prose/comment to match the new model.
- Renamed FoundryHistoryProvider -> FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider throughout the spec (9 occurrences) so the name reinforces the intended hosted-agent use case.
- ADR open-questions pass: walked through all 15 entries with the user. 13 resolved (moved to a new 'Resolved Questions (decisions log)' table), 2 kept open with refined wording (Q6 'Channel' GA name, Q14 Responses WS subprotocol). Added a 'Decisions-driven follow-ups' bullet list capturing the spec-body / sample edits implied by the resolutions.

* Hosting ADR + spec: rename Teams channel to Activity Protocol, add multi-user conversation design

- Rename the planned Teams channel to ActivityChannel (package agent-framework-hosting-activity). Promoted to req #27 (v1 fast follow) alongside A2A and MCP-tool, with native translations from Activity Protocol objects to AF types so the contract is explicit rather than implicit through Invocations. Channel sits behind Azure Bot Service, which fronts Teams / Web Chat / Slack / etc. Naming reserves a TeamsChannel name for any future direct-to-Teams transport that bypasses Bot Service (now stretch req #28 with WhatsApp). ResponseTarget channel ids and JSON examples updated from "teams" to "activity". Appendix B updated to acknowledge that ActivityChannel deliberately reuses the Bot Service connector model (the no-connector stance applies to the rest of the channel set).

- Add first-class design for multi-user surfaces (Telegram groups / supergroups / forum topics; Activity Protocol groupChat and team channels). Cleanly separate user identity (ChannelIdentity.native_id = from.id / from.aadObjectId) from conversation locator (ChannelRequest.conversation_id = chat.id (+ message_thread_id / replyToId)). New per-channel options: conversation_scope (per_user / per_user_per_conversation (default in groups) / per_conversation) and accept_in_group addressing rule (mention_only (default) / command_only / mention_or_command / all). Specifies originating reply must include conversation + thread locator, ChannelPush behavior in groups, link-ceremony privacy (challenges redirected to user DMs), and the Activity-channel mapping for personal / groupChat / channel conversationType plus Teams replyToId threading. Broadcast Telegram Channels and adaptive-card Invoke activity flows scoped as fast follow.

* docs(hosting): rename RunHandle → ContinuationToken; HostStateStore (file-based v1); align agentserver dependency posture

- Rename RunHandle → ContinuationToken (opaque URL-safe `token` field) throughout
  ADR + spec; update routes to /{continuation_token}; spec out equivalent
  continuation-token support for the Invocations channel (Q20 done).
- Introduce HostStateStore as the single persistence seam for host-execution
  metadata (continuation tokens, identity-link grants, last-seen records).
  V1 default: FileHostStateStore (atomic JSON-per-record under ./.af-hosting/,
  per-namespace TTLs) — background runs and link grants now survive host
  restarts. InMemoryHostStateStore for tests; pluggable Cosmos / SQL / Redis
  remain v1 fast follow under req #23. Closes Q9, Q11, Q14.
- Drop blanket "no agentserver dependency" claims. Hosting core is still
  independent of agentserver, but channel packages MAY consume lower-level
  building blocks (notably the Foundry response-store SDK that
  FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider builds on).

* docs(hosting): swap Scenarios 6 and 7 so the linker comes before cross-channel continuity

Scenario 6 (cross-channel continuity) previously forward-referenced Scenario 7
(linker) twice, since continuity depends on the link/merge ceremony. Invert the
order so the linker scenario establishes the mechanism first and the continuity
scenario builds on it. Update internal cross-references, the require_link
section anchor, and Scenario 8's prerequisites/comment to match. Also tightened
the new Scenario 7's closing note to point at HostStateStore (file-based
default) for cross-host continuity, and dropped a stale MfaIdentityLinker
reference from the linker variants paragraph (Q13 dropped MFA from phase 1).

* docs(hosting): rewrite Scenario 7 as trusted-relay + add ResponseTarget.identities

The previous Scenario 7 (cross-channel chat continuity) implied two independent
auto-issued isolation_keys would converge by themselves — they don't, that
needs a linker. Replace with a more realistic and complementary scenario:
a trusted server-side application backend exposes Responses + Telegram against
the same agent and uses extra_body to carry app-internal identity hints
(app_user_id, push_to_telegram_chat_id) that a Responses run_hook translates
into both an isolation_key promotion and a push to a known Telegram chat.
Includes a closing variant pointing back at Scenario 6's linker for the
no-app-table flow.

Adds the ResponseTarget.identities([ChannelIdentity(...)]) variant to the
type table and req #12 to support 'caller already knows the channel-native
recipient' delivery without going through the link store. Bypasses the link
store but still consults LinkPolicy per delivery.

Drops MfaIdentityLinker references from req #11, req #24, and the linker
helpers table (Q13 had already dropped MFA from phase 1; the spec body just
hadn't caught up). Marks ADR Q8 follow-up done.

* docs(hosting): wire FileCheckpointStorage into Scenario 9 + show resume-from-checkpoint flow

Scenario 9 now builds the workflow with a FileCheckpointStorage so executor
frames are persisted across runs, and demonstrates how the run_hook surfaces
a caller-supplied resume_from_checkpoint into request.attributes so the host's
workflow dispatch can pass it to Workflow.run(checkpoint_id=...). Closing
paragraph clarifies that CheckpointStorage is workflow-runtime state, kept
structurally separate from HostStateStore and ContextProvider — three
protocols that MAY share a backend but stay independently typed.

* docs(hosting): emphasize result richness in Scenario 10 (channels are not limited to result.text)

Add a 'Result is rich, not just text' callout under the channel-authoring
sample. Inventories the typed Contents on the underlying AgentRunResult
(TextContent, DataContent, UriContent, FunctionCallContent /
FunctionResultContent, HostedFile/VectorStoreContent, UsageContent,
TextReasoningContent, ErrorContent + additional_properties), the typed
structured output via result.value, and shows concrete examples per channel
shape: Telegram (MarkdownV2 + sendPhoto/sendAudio + inline keyboards),
Responses (full content-list round-trip), chat UI (GFM/HTML +
collapsible tool/reasoning panels), voice (TTS + earcons), typed RPC
(result.value first). result.text is positioned as a convenience for
single-string channels, not the contract.

* spec: add TeamsChannel (microsoft/teams.py) as fast-follow req #28

Add a Teams-native channel package built on the MIT-licensed
microsoft/teams.py SDK as fast-follow alongside the generic
ActivityChannel (req #27). Where ActivityChannel targets the
generic Activity Protocol surface, TeamsChannel exploits
Teams-specific affordances the generic protocol does not surface
natively: Adaptive Cards (typed builder), streamed replies,
AI-generated badge, feedback controls + form, suggested-prompt
chips, inline citations, modal Dialogs, Message Extensions
(action / search / link unfurling), proactive / targeted /
threaded messages, and SSO via MSAL.

Mounts the SDK's App into the host's Starlette app via a custom
HttpServerAdapter; reuses the same host-tracked-session family
as ActivityChannel (from.aadObjectId -> ChannelIdentity). The
SDK already ships a 'Build an agent using Microsoft Agent
Framework' guide so the integration story is direct.

Renumber the WhatsApp / direct-to-Teams stretch item to req #29
and clarify its 'direct-to-Teams' placeholder is a future
transport that bypasses both Bot Service and the teams.py SDK.

Add the SDK to Dependencies & Commitment Status as a proposed
runtime dep of agent-framework-hosting-teams.

* spec: clarify direct-to-Teams stretch as speculative (no Bot Service)

Split the WhatsApp + direct-to-Teams stretch entry into two
distinct items and reword the direct-to-Teams item to be honest
about its current feasibility:

- It MUST not rely on Azure Bot Service (otherwise it is just
  ActivityChannel / TeamsChannel under a different name).
- No such transport is publicly available today: Graph chat APIs
  and microsoft/teams.py both ultimately route through Bot Service
  for the bot-as-conversation-participant pattern.
- The slot is kept on the roadmap to preserve the naming line in
  case Microsoft ships a Bot-Service-free transport (native Teams
  REST/RPC, a Graph subscription strong enough to drive both
  inbound and outbound message flow, ...).
- Reaffirm TeamsChannel (req #28) as the canonical Teams channel
  until then.

* spec: clarify TeamsChannel still rides on Bot Service in v1; add audience table

Make explicit that TeamsChannel (req #28) uses Azure Bot Service
in v1 — the microsoft/teams.py SDK is a higher-level Pythonic
wrapper over the same Activity Protocol pipeline that
ActivityChannel exposes raw. The difference is what the developer
writes against, not the network path. A Bot-Service-free Teams
transport is not currently possible and stays tracked as the
speculative req #30.

Add the ActivityChannel vs TeamsChannel audience comparison table
to req #28 so the choice is obvious to readers:
- ActivityChannel: maximum portability across all Bot Service-fronted channels.
- TeamsChannel: Teams-first deployments wanting Cards / Dialogs /
  Message Extensions / citations / feedback / suggested prompts /
  SSO out of the box.

* feat(hosting): add agent-framework-hosting core package

New ``agent-framework-hosting`` package implementing ADR 0026 / SPEC-002:
the channel-neutral host that lets a single ``Agent`` (or ``Workflow``)
fan out across multiple wire protocols ("channels") behind one Starlette
ASGI app.

Surface (re-exported from ``agent_framework_hosting``):

- ``AgentFrameworkHost`` — wraps a hostable target, mounts channels onto
  an ASGI app, owns per-isolation-key ``AgentSession`` reuse, threads
  request context (``response_id`` / ``previous_response_id``) into
  context providers via an ``ExitStack`` of ``bind_request_context``
  calls, and exposes an opt-in Hypercorn ``serve()`` helper (extra
  ``[serve]``).
- ``Channel`` protocol + ``ChannelContribution`` — the surface a channel
  package implements (routes, lifespans, identity hooks, …).
- ``ChannelRequest`` / ``ChannelSession`` / ``ChannelIdentity`` /
  ``ChannelPush`` / ``ChannelCommand[Context]`` / ``ChannelRunHook`` /
  ``ChannelStreamTransformHook`` / ``DeliveryReport`` /
  ``HostedRunResult`` / ``ResponseTarget`` / ``ResponseTargetKind`` /
  ``apply_run_hook`` — channel-side dataclasses + helpers.
- ``IsolationKeys`` + ``ISOLATION_HEADER_USER`` / ``..._CHAT`` +
  ``get/set/reset_current_isolation_keys`` — the host's ASGI middleware
  reads the ``x-agent-{user,chat}-isolation-key`` headers off each
  inbound request and exposes them to the agent stack via a
  ``ContextVar`` so storage-side providers (e.g.
  ``FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider``) can apply per-tenant
  partitioning without channels having to forward anything.

Includes 45 unit tests covering the host, channel contributions,
isolation contextvar, and shared types. Registers the package in
``python/pyproject.toml`` ``[tool.uv.sources]`` and adds the matching
pyright ``executionEnvironments`` entry for tests.

Hypercorn is an optional dependency (``[serve]`` extra); the soft import
in ``serve()`` is annotated for pyright since it isn't on the default
install.

* fix(hosting): address PR-2 review comments

Source-code changes
- _suppress_already_consumed: narrow contract — RuntimeError now logs
  at WARNING with exc_info; non-RuntimeError still logs at exception().
  Docstring clarifies that any non-clean teardown is observable.
- _BoundResponseStream: add aclose() and route __await__ through
  get_final_response() so the binding is always released — fixes
  contextvar leak when channels abandon the stream or use the
  await-the-stream convenience.
- Lifespan: aggregate startup/shutdown callback errors; every callback
  runs, all failures are logged with their qualname, and the first
  error is re-raised so Starlette still aborts boot.
- _build_run_kwargs: switch session-cache write to dict.setdefault so
  concurrent racers cannot orphan a session if create_session ever
  yields.
- _deliver_response: introduce DeliveryReport.failed for push outages
  vs explicit "no link" drops; an outage no longer triggers an
  originating fallback so the channel can decide degraded behaviour.

Test additions
- tests/test_isolation.py (new): full coverage of IsolationKeys, the
  contextvar helpers, header constants, and end-to-end ASGI
  middleware lift / reset / passthrough.
- tests/test_host.py: TestBindRequestContext, TestBoundResponseStream
  (aclose / __await__ / __getattr__ forwarding / double-close
  idempotency), TestWrapInputListMessages (list[Message] LAST
  precedence), TestLifespanAggregation (startup + shutdown).
- tests/test_types.py: TestApplyRunHook (sync/async/None), and
  TestDeliveryReport (new failed field).
- Updated test_push_exception_marks_skipped ->
  test_push_exception_lands_in_failed_no_fallback to match the new
  delivery contract.

* fix(hosting): address PR-2 round-2 review comments

- Refactor workflow checkpoint restoration into shared helpers
  (_restore_workflow_checkpoint for blocking; the streaming sibling
  drains the rehydration stream) so the blocking and streaming paths
  rehydrate identically — clarifies the previously inline _maybe_restore
  by hoisting the pattern next to the blocking call site.
- Document that blocking workflow output is text-only by design;
  richer modalities ride the streaming AgentResponseUpdate channel,
  which preserves all content parts.

* review: address PR-4 _host.py round 2 feedback

These review comments were filed on PR-4 (#5640) but target lines that
live in the hosting-core package (PR-2 / #5638), so the fixes land here
and PR-4's stack will pick them up on rebase.

- _suppress_already_consumed: narrow the RuntimeError catch to the two
  documented benign messages (`Inner stream not available`, `Event loop
  is closed`); any other RuntimeError now logs at ERROR with a full
  traceback so executor bugs / runner-context state errors / checkpoint
  RuntimeErrors during the post-run flush no longer masquerade as
  benign cleanup noise. Still no propagation (we're in an
  async-generator finally during teardown) — see the docstring.
- _restore_workflow_checkpoint{,_streaming}: log a WARNING when a
  non-None latest checkpoint drains to zero events, so a stale or
  partially-written checkpoint_id surfaces as an operator signal
  instead of a silent state-loss.

(The `deliver_response` "no destinations resolvable" vs "every
destination errored" concern raised in 3198268038 is already addressed
by the existing `failed` vs `skipped` distinction surfaced through
`DeliveryReport.failed` — see lines 1080-1102 and the
`DeliveryReport` docstring.)

* fix(hosting): reject path-traversal patterns in checkpoint isolation_key

The host's `_resolve_checkpoint_storage` joined `request.session.isolation_key`
directly into the configured `checkpoint_location`. The key is caller-
controlled — sourced from inbound headers (`x-agent-{user,chat}-isolation-key`
injected by the Foundry runtime), from channel-supplied derivations such as
`telegram:<chat_id>` / `entra:<oid>`, or from values set by a channel
`run_hook`. A value like `../../../etc/foo` or an absolute path would let
the resulting checkpoint directory escape the configured root (CWE-22).
This matches the path-traversal class fixed upstream in #5851 for the
foundry_hosting checkpoint storage.

New `_checkpoint_path_for_isolation_key(root, isolation_key)` helper:

- Uses a denylist (not allowlist) so legitimate namespaced keys
  (`telegram:42`, `entra:abc-def`) continue to pass through unmodified.
- Rejects path separators (`/`, `\`), NUL, all-dot reductions (`.`, `..`,
  `...`, ...), absolute paths (`os.path.isabs`), and drive-letter prefixes
  (`os.path.splitdrive` plus an explicit `^[A-Za-z]:` check so payloads
  crafted on a POSIX host still fail closed if the resulting directory
  ever round-trips to Windows storage).
- After joining, resolves both sides and verifies
  `target.is_relative_to(root)` as defence-in-depth.

`_resolve_checkpoint_storage` now logs a WARNING and returns `None` for
invalid keys rather than crashing the request — checkpointing is best-
effort and we prefer dropping it to letting one malformed key abort an
otherwise valid agent run.

Tests:

- `TestCheckpointPathForIsolationKey` exercises the helper directly with
  legitimate keys (alphanumeric, `:`-namespaced, dotted, 200-char), all
  rejected traversal patterns from #5851's MSRC repro list, and
  non-string input.
- `TestHostWorkflowCheckpointingPathTraversal` verifies the end-to-end
  request path: a traversal key (`../escape`) and an in-key separator
  (`evil/sub`) both produce a successful agent response with no files
  written under `checkpoint_location`, and the traversal case logs a
  WARNING citing `isolation_key`.

* fix(hosting): address PR-2 round-3 review feedback + add response hooks

Round-3 review comment fixes:

- _types.py: drop the _EMPTY_MAPPING sentinel; ChannelIdentity.attributes
  uses plain dict() as the default — simpler, no extra symbol to track.
- _host.py: drop the local `import asyncio` + `from typing import cast as
  _cast` inside `serve()`; rely on the module-level imports.
- _host.py: switch `_log_incoming` to structured `extra={...}` payloads
  for both INFO and DEBUG so log aggregators get queryable fields.
- _host.py: delete `_flat_context_providers` and stop descending into a
  `.providers` attribute. Aggregator providers (AggregateContextProvider /
  ContextProviderBase) are responsible for forwarding `response_context`
  to their children themselves; the host treats whatever
  `agent.context_providers` exposes as the final, flat list.
- _host.py: stop collapsing agent / workflow output to text. `_invoke`
  forwards `AgentResponse.messages` (and `raw_response`) on the
  `HostedRunResult`. `_invoke_workflow` builds a per-event message list
  via a new `_workflow_output_to_messages` helper that preserves
  AgentResponse / AgentResponseUpdate / Message / Content branches and
  falls back to text only for arbitrary objects.
- _host.py: `_workflow_event_to_update` carries Content payloads through
  unchanged so multi-modal workflow outputs (images, function-call
  metadata, ...) survive into channels.

New features (per design discussion in the PR thread):

- HostedRunResult: rebuilt around `messages: list[Message]` with
  `.text` / `.contents` as projections, a `raw_response` slot for the
  underlying AgentResponse, and a `replace(messages=..., raw_response=...)`
  clone helper used by the delivery layer for per-destination isolation.
  The `HostedRunResult(text="...")` ctor is preserved as a back-compat
  shim that synthesises a single assistant text message.
- ResponseTarget: gain `echo_input: bool = False` (also exposed on
  `.channel(name, *, echo_input=...)` / `.channels([...], *, echo_input=...)`).
  When set, the host pushes the originating user message to each
  non-originating destination before the agent reply. Channels can
  filter or transform echoes via their response_hook.
- DeliveryReport: add `echoed` / `echo_failed` tuples to surface
  per-destination outcomes of the new echo phase. Echo failures do not
  abort the corresponding response push on the same destination.
- ChannelResponseHook + ChannelResponseContext + apply_response_hook:
  duck-typed `response_hook` attribute on channels for per-destination
  post-processing. Receives a clone of the HostedRunResult and a
  context carrying the request, channel name, destination identity,
  originating flag, and `is_echo` phase flag. Channels stay
  modality-aware (text-only wires flatten via the hook; card-capable
  channels render structured contents directly).
- _deliver_response: clone-before-hook fan-out so a hook mutating one
  channel's payload cannot leak into another destination's view.

Tests:

- Update _FakeAgentResponse to expose `.messages` (single assistant text
  message synthesised from `text`) so existing tests pass unchanged on
  the new multi-modal _invoke path.
- Replace the obsolete `test_bind_descends_one_level_into_providers_attribute`
  with a regression guard asserting the host does NOT descend into
  `.providers` (matches new contract).
- New tests for HostedRunResult multi-modal preservation, echo_input
  fan-out with success + failure, response_hook applied per destination,
  per-destination mutation isolation, and is_echo phase observability.

Docs:

- spec 002: rewrite Canonical flow with the new input → run_hook → host
  → target → wrap → per-destination clone → response_hook → push
  pipeline; document multi-modality contract and per-destination
  cloning; add `echo_input` row to ResponseTarget table; rewrite
  HostedRunResult/HostedStreamResult row; add ChannelResponseHook /
  ChannelResponseContext / apply_response_hook table; log decisions
  Q28 (no host-side text collapse), Q29 (duck-typed response_hook),
  Q30 (opt-in `echo_input` on ResponseTarget).
- ADR 0026: add ChannelResponseHook + multi-modality bullets;
  surface `echo_input` on the ResponseTarget bullet.

* fix(hosting): drop HostedRunResult(text=...) back-compat shim; use from_text()

Pre-release cleanup — no released callers to break, so consolidate on one
canonical entry point plus a classmethod for the ergonomic
single-text-message case:

- HostedRunResult.__init__ takes ``messages`` positionally (required); no
  more ``text=`` kwarg overload, no more "synthesise an empty message
  when no args" path.
- New HostedRunResult.from_text(text, *, role="assistant", raw_response=None)
  classmethod for the common "wrap a single text content as one message"
  case (tests, channels emitting plain strings, the echo-input phase
  wrapping a user's text turn).
- ``_build_echo_payload`` uses ``HostedRunResult.from_text(raw, role="user")``
  for the ``str`` and fallback branches; the other branches use the plain
  ctor with explicit ``Message`` lists.
- Tests rewritten to use ``from_text("reply")`` everywhere
  ``HostedRunResult(text="reply")`` appeared. Added an explicit
  ``test_from_text_role_kwarg_overrides_default`` regression guard.
- spec 002: HostedRunResult row updated to describe the
  ``from_text(text, *, role="assistant")`` classmethod instead of the
  removed back-compat shim.

* refactor(hosting-core): reshape HostedRunResult into generic typed envelope

Replace the flattened multi-modal HostedRunResult (carrying
messages/raw_response/.text projections) with a typed generic
envelope around the target's full-fidelity output:

  class HostedRunResult(Generic[TResult]):
      result: TResult
      session: AgentSession | None

- Agent targets produce HostedRunResult[AgentResponse]; channels
  read result.messages, result.text, result.value, result.response_id,
  result.usage_details directly off the underlying response.
- Workflow targets produce HostedRunResult[WorkflowRunResult];
  channels iterate result.get_outputs() and inspect
  result.get_final_state() themselves (the host no longer collapses
  workflow outputs onto a synthesised message list).
- The echo-input phase synthesises a HostedRunResult[AgentResponse]
  wrapping the user's turn so the same per-destination delivery
  machinery applies.
- replace() is now {result, session} only; the host's clone is
  shallow — channels that need to mutate result itself are
  responsible for their own deep copy.

Rationale: the earlier shape pre-shaped target output (collapsing
workflows onto a Message list, losing per-executor outputs, final
state, and structured value affordances). Carrying the target output
unchanged keeps the host modality-agnostic, gives channel authors
static typing where they want it, and removes 30+ lines of
host-side projection helpers.

Also updates ADR 0026 + spec 002 (Q3, Q28, Q29 amended; new Q31
captures the generic-envelope decision and rationale).

* docs(hosting-core): document echo vs response distinction for push channels

The host already encodes the echo-vs-response phase via the
underlying Message.role on the pushed HostedRunResult:

- echo phase: payload.result.messages[*].role == "user"
- response phase: payload.result.messages[*].role == "assistant"

Both pushes go through the same ChannelPush.push(identity, payload)
entry point. Channels distinguish either by inspecting role (which
works for any push-capable channel) or — when a response_hook is
wired — by branching on ChannelResponseContext.is_echo directly.

Expand the ChannelPush Protocol docstring to make this discoverable
for channel implementers (esp. chat bots that cannot impersonate
the user on their wire and need to render echoes as quoted /
prefixed blocks rather than as bot replies).

Mirror the explanation into the spec's echo_input section.

* docs(hosting-core): fix quickstart to use current Agent API

ChatAgent was renamed to Agent and the preferred construction pattern
is client.as_agent(...). Also drop the sibling channel import so the

* docs(hosting): add authorization profiles + IdentityAllowlist seam to ADR/spec

Composes `require_link` + `allowlist` into three named profiles (open,
forced-link, allowlist) with the allowlist itself keyed on either the
channel-native id (pre-link) or a verified IdP claim (post-link), plus
`AnyOf`/`AllOf` combinators for mixed setups. Lifts the design into
an explicit host seam (`host.authorize(...)` → `AuthorizationOutcome`
of `Allowed` / `LinkRequired` / `Denied`) instead of leaving each
channel to roll its own.

Key contract bits:
- Tri-state `AllowlistDecision` (ALLOW / DENY / ABSTAIN) so claim-based
  lists can ABSTAIN until claims are available without composition
  silently flipping that into DENY.
- `AuthorizationContext` carries explicit `phase` + `claim_source`
  so allowlists can tell pre-link from post-link without overloading
  `verified_claims is None`.
- Channel-side `allowlist: ... | Literal["inherit"] | None` with an
  explicit inheritance sentinel, so the host-level `default_allowlist`
  is opt-out, not opt-in.
- Construction-time validator rejects silent-deny configurations
  (`LinkedClaimAllowlist` without a claim source) with a typed
  `ChannelConfigurationError`.
- Group-chat denial mirrors the existing `LinkChallenge` DM-redirect
  pattern; only the redacted `user_message` reaches the wire,
  structured `log_details` stay in telemetry.

Ships in two waves: the Protocol + `NativeIdAllowlist` + config
validator land with the next core PR ahead of the linker; the full
pipeline + `LinkedClaimAllowlist` enforcement land with the
`IdentityLinker` core PR.

Updates: ADR 0026 (summary bullet + conceptual-API table row + resolved
Q16), spec 002 (new req #22, renumbered v1 fast-follow #23..#29 and
stretch #30..#31, new "Authorization profiles and the IdentityAllowlist
seam" subsection, inbound-ownership row, resolved Q32, follow-up entry).

* feat(hosting): add DurableTaskRunner seam + runtime_mode auto-detect

Introduces the explicit long-running vs ephemeral runtime distinction
and a generic DurableTaskRunner Protocol that owns non-originating
push dispatch — collapsing the previous deliveries[] per-destination
state machine, SupportsDeliveryTracking provider capability, and
Foundry update_item service ask down to a single immutable
intended_targets[] write on the message.

Spec / ADR:
- New §"Runtime modes" with auto-detect markers + defaults matrix.
- Rewrites §"Delivery tracking" → §"Intended targets + durable
  delivery": intent-only on the message, operational state lives in
  the runner.
- New §"Durable task runner" defining DurableTaskRunner / RetryPolicy
  / TaskHandle / TaskStatus.
- Drops §SupportsDeliveryTracking and §Foundry update_item gap.
- Resolved Qs: 12, 18, 21, 26 revised; new 17/18/19 (ADR) and
  33/34/35 (spec).

Code:
- New _runner.py with InProcessTaskRunner (asyncio + bounded retry,
  bounded terminal-status cache, register-after-start guard,
  shutdown drain).
- _host.py: runtime_mode + durable_task_runner ctor params;
  auto-detect via FOUNDRY_HOSTING_ENVIRONMENT /
  AZURE_FUNCTIONS_ENVIRONMENT / AWS_LAMBDA_FUNCTION_NAME;
  HOSTING_PUSH_TASK_NAME handler registered eagerly so
  _deliver_response can be called outside the lifespan;
  _handle_push_task does echo-then-response inline per destination;
  _deliver_response now schedules one task per destination via the
  runner (DeliveryReport.pushed = scheduled; .failed = schedule-time
  outage only).
- _types.py: new DurableTaskRunner Protocol + RetryPolicy /
  TaskHandle / TaskStatus; DeliveryReport drops echoed /
  echo_failed (echo outcome owned by the runner).
- __init__.py exports the new public surface.

Tests: 132 passing, 90% coverage. New test_runner.py covers
InProcessTaskRunner success/retry/terminal-failure/cancellation/
register-after-start, runtime-mode auto-detect with synthetic env,
and the warning-on-ephemeral-without-runner path. test_host.py
delivery tests use a sync runner fake for deterministic assertions
and validate the new "schedule succeeded vs runner backend
unreachable" semantics.

* feat(hosting): rubber-duck round-5 — strict ephemeral, codec seam, allowlist Wave-1, drop DeliveryReport

Adopts the rubber-duck-approved package of changes from the round-5
review of PR #5638 (modulo DeliveryReport.failed — the value type is
removed entirely now that durable delivery covers the failure
surface, per user direction).

Code:
- Drop DeliveryReport value type; host-internal _deliver_response
  returns bool. Failure observability is now logs (in-process) /
  runner backend (durable adapters).
- Strict ephemeral default: ephemeral runtime_mode with the default
  in-process runner raises RuntimeError; opt-in via
  allow_in_process_runner=True (warns).
- ChannelPushCodec Protocol + DurableTaskPayloadMode enum +
  _validate_runner_codec_pairing so JSON-mode runners can be safely
  paired with channels via codecs; _handle_push_task accepts both
  object- and JSON-envelope shapes.
- ResponseTarget.identity(...) / .identities([...]) builders +
  IDENTITIES kind for explicit caller-supplied recipients; field
  rename identities → _target_identities (private) with a
  target_identities property to resolve the classmethod collision.
- Intent-only audit: _annotate_intended_targets writes
  hosting.intended_targets / skipped_targets / includes_originating /
  originating_channel onto assistant messages — single immutable
  write per the runner-owned operational-state model.
- InProcessTaskRunner: 2-phase drain on shutdown
  (shutdown_grace_seconds, default 5.0) so a clean shutdown does not
  abandon work mid-retry; payload_mode = OBJECT class-level.
- Echo idempotency: _handle_push_task tracks an echo_done cursor on
  runner-owned task state so a retry that fires after the echo
  phase succeeded does not double-echo.

Wave-1 authorization seam (full landing):
- New _authorization.py with AllowlistDecision tri-state,
  AuthorizationContext, IdentityAllowlist Protocol, AllowAll /
  NativeIdAllowlist (with async loader cache + channel-scope ABSTAIN) /
  LinkedClaimAllowlist (raise-until-Wave-2) / AnyOfAllowlists /
  AllOfAllowlists / CallableAllowlist built-ins, Allowed /
  LinkRequired / Denied outcomes, ChannelConfigurationError.
- Host(default_allowlist=..., identity_linker=...) + per-channel
  allowlist parameter with 'inherit' / None semantics.
- _validate_channel_authorization enforces all three rules at
  construction: claim-source requirement, linker presence for
  require_link=True (elevated from no-op — must not ship
  unenforced), and NativeIdAllowlist(channel=...) typo detection.
  Combinator-walking via _flatten_allowlists catches nested
  misconfigs.
- host.authorize(...) for the native-id pipeline: open path returns
  Allowed with auto-issued <channel>:<native_id> isolation key (or
  the existing key when the identity has been seen); ABSTAIN on a
  claim-required allowlist maps to
  Denied(reason_code='allowlist_requires_link') until Wave 2 wires
  the linker to convert it to LinkRequired.

Spec / ADR:
- docs/specs/002-python-hosting-channels.md: Wave-1 status updated
  to reflect the linker-presence rule elevation and the
  host.authorize landing; new sub-sections (codec contract, drain,
  echo cursor); Qs 18 / 21 DeliveryReport references purged; new
  resolved Qs 36–40 covering the strict-ephemeral default, codec
  contract, DeliveryReport removal, echo cursor, and drain.
- docs/decisions/0026-hosting-channels.md: Q12 DeliveryReport
  reference purged; Q16 updated to reflect Wave-1 landing; new
  resolved Qs 20 (codec contract) + 21 (strict ephemeral / drain /
  echo cursor).

Tests:
- New tests/test_authorization.py (35 cases) covering every Wave-1
  built-in, the three validator rules, combinator decision
  semantics, and host.authorize across open / allow / deny /
  abstain-with-claim-dep / abstain-without-claim-dep paths plus
  existing-key reuse and verified-claims propagation.
- tests/test_host.py: TestDeliverResponse rewritten for the bool
  return + runner.scheduled-count assertions; new tests for
  IDENTITIES variant + echo idempotency.
- tests/test_runner.py: strict-ephemeral now expects RuntimeError;
  allow_in_process_runner opt-in tests; shutdown drain test;
  payload_mode default test.
- tests/test_types.py: TestDeliveryReport removed; new
  TestDurableTaskPayloadMode + TestResponseTargetIdentities.

Validation: 178 tests pass, 91% coverage, fmt + lint + pyright +
mypy clean.

* feat(hosting): add opt-in disk persistence via state_dir

Long-running hosts (always-on container, single-VM bot, local dev) lose
state on every restart today. Add an opt-in disk persistence layer under
a new `state_dir` constructor parameter on `AgentFrameworkHost` that
survives process restarts without taking on a heavyweight database
dependency.

Backed by `diskcache` (installed via the new `[disk]` optional extra).
An OS-level advisory file lock guarantees single-owner semantics so two
hosts pointed at the same directory cannot double-execute scheduled
pushes.

What persists when `state_dir` is set:

- Pending durable-task records — scheduled-but-not-yet-completed pushes
  replay on the next host startup via `InProcessTaskRunner.resume()`.
  Records that crashed mid-attempt resume with the already-consumed
  retry budget (no full-budget re-grant).
- `_session_aliases` — per-isolation-key session-id rewrites.
- `_active` — most-recently-active channel per isolation key.
- `_identities` — `ChannelIdentity` rows for fan-out targeting,
  including nested mutations of the form
  `self._identities[ik][channel] = identity`.

The `state_dir` parameter accepts any of:

- `None` — today's purely in-memory behaviour.
- `str` / `PathLike` — single root; host auto-creates `runner/` and
  `sessions/` subfolders.
- `HostStatePaths` TypedDict / plain mapping — per-component overrides
  routed to different roots. Unknown keys raise `ValueError` to surface
  typos early.

Unpicklable push payloads raise `PushPayloadNotPicklable` eagerly from
`schedule()` so issues surface at the call site rather than on the
next restart. Corrupt on-disk records are quarantined-and-logged; the
runner never crashes on resume.

Live `AgentSession` objects stay in memory and are rehydrated lazily
by the history provider on the next turn.

- New modules: `_persistence.py` (lock + normalisation),
  `_state_store.py` (session-bookkeeping store).
- Runner rewrite: 4-state model (`pending` / `succeeded` / `failed`
  / `cancelled`); the transient `running` state was a bug that caused
  resume to skip records that crashed mid-handler.
- New tests: `test_runner_disk.py` (8 tests), `test_host_disk.py` (8
  tests). 194 passed total. pyright + mypy + ruff clean.
- README: new "Optional disk persistence" section with code samples.

* feat(hosting): add checkpoints to state_dir + fix host docstring

Three related polish changes on top of the disk-persistence landing:

1. Extend `state_dir` to cover workflow checkpoints. Adds
   `checkpoints` as a third `HostStatePaths` key. Single-path form
   (`state_dir="/foo"`) now also auto-derives `/foo/checkpoints/`
   for workflow targets (equivalent to passing
   `checkpoint_location="/foo/checkpoints"`). The mapping form lets
   workflow callers opt out by omitting the key, or route checkpoints
   to a different volume.

   Conflict / precedence rules:
   * Explicit `checkpoint_location` always wins over the state_dir
     derived path; a warning surfaces the double-config.
   * Single-path `state_dir` + non-Workflow target → checkpoints path
     silently ignored (no eager directory creation either).
   * Mapping form with `checkpoints` + non-Workflow target → warn
     (almost certainly dead config).
   * Derived path with a workflow that already has its own
     `checkpoint_storage` → same `RuntimeError` as the explicit
     parameter triggers, so ownership stays unambiguous.

   Checkpoint persistence uses `FileCheckpointStorage` from the
   framework core — no extra dependency. Only `runner` and
   `sessions` require the `[disk]` extra.

2. Move `AgentFrameworkHost.__init__` parameter docs from `Args:` to
   `Keyword Args:` for every parameter after the `*`. Only `target`
   remains under `Args:`. Brings the docstring in line with the
   actual signature (the params have always been keyword-only).

3. `HostStatePaths` already existed as a TypedDict but did not cover
   `checkpoints`; updated to document the new key with the same
   per-attribute docstring style as `runner` / `sessions` so editors
   can surface help on the keys.

Validation: 201 tests pass (was 194; +7 checkpoint integration tests
in test_host_disk.py). pyright + mypy + ruff + bandit clean.

* feat(hosting): add core IdentityLinker authorization seam

Fold the core IdentityLinker pieces into the hosting-core PR so the
authorization surface no longer has a deferred Wave-2 placeholder.
Provider-specific linkers (for example Entra OAuth helpers) can now plug
into core without core depending on an IdP SDK.

Core additions:
- Add LinkChallenge, LinkedIdentity, LinkResolution, and IdentityLinker.
  IdentityLinker.resolve(identity) is a single-call decision that returns
  either a linked identity with verified claims or a challenge the channel
  can render.
- Enable LinkedClaimAllowlist end-to-end. It now abstains pre-link and
  allows/denies post-link against verified claims, including multi-valued
  claims such as groups.
- Add AuthPolicy factories for common allowlist shapes.
- Extend Allowed with verified_claims and claim_source for audit/telemetry
  without requiring callers to re-derive how the decision was made.

Host behavior:
- identity_linker is now typed as IdentityLinker | None.
- authorize() supports open, native-id, forced-link, and linked-claim
  profiles end-to-end.
- require_link=True resolves via the linker and returns LinkRequired when
  the identity is not linked.
- claim-based allowlists use channel-emitted verified_claims when present,
  or linker-resolved claims otherwise.
- authorize() remains decision-only and does not mutate _identities/_active;
  identity registry writes remain on the actual request execution path.

Docs/tests:
- Remove Wave-1/Wave-2 language from core/spec/ADR surfaces touched here.
- Update the spec/ADR to describe the core linker seam and provider-specific
  linker packages.
- Add authorization tests for linker challenges, linked identities, linked
  claim allowlists, channel-emitted claims, AuthPolicy factories, and the
  no-mutation contract.

Validation: 214 tests pass, pyright/mypy/ruff clean.

* feat(hosting): add link-store path to state_dir

Identity linking introduces host-adjacent state that needs the same state_dir treatment as runner, session, and checkpoint state. Add a links component to the host state paths so applications and linker packages have a typed, discoverable persistence location.

Changes:
- Extend HostStatePaths with links and include it in state_dir normalization (state_dir/links/ for the single-path form).
- Add SupportsLinkStorePath, an optional protocol for identity linkers that accept a host-provided link-store path.
- AgentFrameworkHost now offers state_dir links to compatible linkers, warns when an explicit links path is supplied without a linker, and warns when the configured linker manages persistence directly instead of implementing SupportsLinkStorePath.
- Update README and spec text to document the link-store component and clarify that concrete linkers still own the storage format.
- Add disk-state tests for compatible, missing, and non-configurable linkers.

Validation: 217 tests pass, pyright/mypy/ruff clean.

Reviewers: 2 | Confidence: 67%

✓ Test Coverage

The authorization module (_authorization.py) has thorough test coverage for most paths, but two edge-case branches lack direct unit-test coverage: (1) LinkedClaimAllowlist returning DENY for a multi-valued claim where no value intersects with the allowlist, and (2) the AnyOfAllowlists combinator producing ABSTAIN when at least one child DENYs and another ABSTAINs — this is the canonical Mixed-profile pre-link scenario where a regression would silently lock out linkable users. The _host.py implementation contains several significant code paths with no visible test coverage in the PR's test files: (1) the _workflow_event_to_update helper has 4 distinct branches but only the string-output path is exercised by the workflow test fixtures; (2) the _validate_runner_codec_pairing startup validator has no corresponding test despite the pattern being established for other validators in test_authorization.py; (3) the JSON-mode paths in _build_push_payload and _handle_push_task (the envelope/codec branches) are never exercised because _SyncTaskRunner uses OBJECT mode exclusively. The authorization and delivery-routing tests are thorough, and the checkpoint path-traversal hardening is well-tested.

✓ Design Approach

I found one design issue in the new persistence layer: the runner’s persisted payload wrapper is documented as a drop-in dict, but unlike the other write-through dict wrappers added in this PR it only persists __setitem__, so non-assignment mutations can silently disappear across restart/retry boundaries.

Test coverage gap — multi-valued claim DENY branch. test_post_link_allows_matching_multi_value_claim covers the ALLOW path for sequence-typed claims, but there is no test asserting DENY when the claim is a sequence with no intersection (e.g., verified_claims={'groups': ('users', 'readers')} against values=['admins']). The else AllowlistDecision.DENY half of this ternary has no direct unit assertion for the sequence-value code path.

Test coverage gap — Mixed-profile DENY+ABSTAIN scenario. The more dangerous scenario — one child DENYs (native-id miss) while another ABSTAINs (claim list at pre-link) — is not tested. A regression removing the all_deny = False assignment on line 224 would flip this case from ABSTAIN to DENY, silently locking linkable-but-unlisted users out of the Mixed profile. Consider adding a test like:

async def test_deny_plus_abstain_yields_abstain(self) -> None:
    a = AnyOfAllowlists(NativeIdAllowlist({'42'}), LinkedClaimAllowlist('oid', ['abc'])
    assert await a.evaluate(_ctx_pre_link(native_id='99')) is AllowlistDecision.ABSTAIN

No test exercises _validate_runner_codec_pairing. This startup validator raises RuntimeError when a JSON-mode runner is paired with a push-capable channel lacking a push_codec. Other startup validators have corresponding tests in TestChannelAuthorizationValidator. Adding a parallel test — constructing a host with DurableTaskPayloadMode.JSON runner and a codec-less channel — would ensure this fail-fast path doesn't regress.

JSON-mode _build_push_payload branch is untested. The test suite's _SyncTaskRunner always uses payload_mode = OBJECT, so the JSON branch (calling codec.encode(...)) and its PushPayloadNotSerializable error handling are never exercised. Consider a test with a JSON-mode runner stub and a channel exposing a push_codec to cover encode/decode round-tripping and the serialization-failure skip path.

Incomplete write-through semantics on _PersistedPayloadDict. This class only persists __setitem__, so handler code calling payload.update(...), payload.pop(...), or payload.clear() will mutate the live dict without writing back, causing a later resume to replay stale state. The same PR already uses the safer pattern in _state_store.py:184-220 where persisted dict wrappers explicitly override pop, clear, and update to maintain write-through guarantees.

* refactor(foundry_hosting): build FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider on azure.ai.agentserver SDK

Rebuilds the Foundry hosted-agent history provider on top of
``azure.ai.agentserver``'s ``FoundryStorageProvider`` instead of the
in-house ``_HttpStorageBackend``. Splits the monolithic ``_responses.py``
into focused modules:

- ``_history_provider.py`` — new ``FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider``
  that talks to the SDK's ``FoundryStorageProvider``, threads
  ``response_id`` / ``previous_response_id`` through ``ContextVar``s via
  ``bind_request_context``, and lifts host-bound isolation keys
  (``x-agent-{user,chat}-isolation-key``) from the optional
  ``agent_framework_hosting`` package into a provider-local
  ``IsolationContext`` so the storage layer carries the correct
  partition keys without channels having to know about them.
- ``_shared.py`` — extracts all SDK ``Item`` / ``OutputItem`` ↔
  framework ``Message`` conversion helpers into one place so both
  ``_responses.py`` and the new history provider can share them.
  Restores ``_convert_file_data`` for inline ``input_file`` payloads,
  and the hosted-MCP routing for ``custom_tool_call_output`` items
  whose ``call_id`` carries the ``mcp_*`` prefix.
- ``_ids.py`` — shared id helpers.
- ``_responses.py`` — shrinks ~700 lines, re-exports converters for
  back-compat with existing tests.
- ``tests/test_history_provider.py`` — exercises the new provider
  against a fake SDK backend; the host-isolation test is gated on the
  optional ``agent_framework_hosting`` import.

* feat(foundry_hosting): add local_storage_root for file-based dev history

Adds an optional `local_storage_root: str | Path | None` parameter to
`FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider`. When set and the provider is
running outside a Foundry Hosted Agent container, conversations are
persisted to JSONL files via `agent_framework.FileHistoryProvider`
laid out as:

  {root}/{user_key or '~none'}/{chat_key or '~none'}/{session_id}.jsonl

Hosted mode (FOUNDRY_HOSTING_ENVIRONMENT set) ignores the option with a
one-time INFO log so Foundry storage always wins on the platform. The
in-memory fallback is unchanged when the option is omitted.

Path safety: isolation segments are validated against the same character
allowlist FileHistoryProvider uses for session-id stems and
base64-url-encoded with a reserved "~iso-" prefix when unsafe. "~none"
sentinel for missing keys can never collide with a real isolation key
(real keys starting with "~" are encoded). The resolved target dir is
also re-checked to be inside the configured root.

* fix(foundry_hosting): address PR-1 review comments

- _shared.py:_capture_raw narrows `except Exception` to `except TypeError`
  and emits a WARNING with traceback so the lossy fallback to a
  synthesized round-trip is observable. Mirrors the reviewer suggestion.

- _history_provider.py:save_messages narrows `except Exception` to
  `except FoundryStorageError` so only storage-validation failures
  (4xx/5xx, opaque server errors) are swallowed. Network / TLS / auth
  / payload-builder bugs propagate so the caller can retry / alert.
  Adds an instance-level `failed_writes` counter operators can poll
  for silent-drop visibility.

- _history_provider.py id-stamping loop: drops the
  `contextlib.suppress(AttributeError, TypeError)` around
  `item.id = new_id` so SDK contract changes surface in the test
  suite instead of silently corrupting the chain (the storage backend
  rejects the entire `create_response` with HTTP 500 when synthetic
  prefix-based ids leak through). `import contextlib` removed.

- tests:
  * Unit-cover `foundry_response_id` / `foundry_response_id_factory` /
    `foundry_item_id` so SDK `IdGenerator` contract changes are caught
    locally.
  * Cover the `save_messages` wire payload: required-by-storage fields
    (`background`, `parallel_tool_calls`, `instructions`,
    `agent_reference`), env-var-driven stamping (`FOUNDRY_AGENT_NAME` /
    `FOUNDRY_AGENT_VERSION` / `FOUNDRY_AGENT_SESSION_ID` /
    `MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME` with `AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME`
    fallback), and the rule that `model` / `agent_session_id` /
    `agent_reference.version` are omitted (not stamped to `None`) when
    their env vars are unset.
  * Cover the `FOUNDRY_AGENT_SESSION_ID` last-resort chain anchor on
    both the get and save paths, including the prefix gate that blocks
    non-`caresp_*`/`resp_*` values from reaching storage, and the
    precedence rule that a host binding wins over the env.
  * Replace the old `test_save_messages_swallows_backend_errors` with
    two tests asserting the new contract: storage errors are swallowed
    and bump `failed_writes`; everything else propagates and leaves the
    counter at zero.

141 unit tests pass; mypy + pyright + ruff clean.

* fix(foundry_hosting): address PR-1 round-2 review comments

- Hosted detection now delegates to AgentConfig.from_env().is_hosted so
  a future Foundry SDK rename of FOUNDRY_HOSTING_ENVIRONMENT propagates
  automatically; drop the local _ENV_FOUNDRY_HOSTING_ENVIRONMENT
  constant.
- Drop the FOUNDRY_AGENT_SESSION_ID fallback in both get_messages and
  save_messages: per the SDK it identifies the *container instance*,
  not the conversation, so chaining off it would silently merge
  unrelated conversations across container restarts. The host-bound
  previous_response_id (set by ResponsesChannel) is the only
  authoritative anchor; the env value is still stamped into the
  persisted envelope's agent_session_id for operator correlation.
- Update module docstring + replace TestFoundryAgentSessionIdAnchor
  with assertions for the new contract (env var ignored as anchor,
  still stamped onto persisted envelope, host binding wins).

* refactor(foundry_hosting): reconcile with upstream main (#5851, #5666)

Brings the FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider refactor branch back into
sync with the foundry_hosting changes that have landed on upstream
main since PR-1 was opened:

* #5851 (path traversal in checkpoint storage, CWE-22).
  The workflow-host code in ``_responses.py`` builds a
  ``FileCheckpointStorage`` from a caller-controlled ``context_id``
  (``previous_response_id`` / ``conversation_id`` / ``response_id``).
  Switch both call sites to route through
  ``_checkpoint_storage_for_context``, which rejects separators,
  NUL bytes, drive letters, absolute paths, and all-dot segments,
  and enforces ``is_relative_to(root)`` before any directory is
  created.

* #5666 (function approval flow).
  Make the SDK-Item → AF-Message conversion helpers in ``_shared.py``
  async and accept an optional ``approval_storage`` keyword:

  - ``_items_to_messages`` / ``_item_to_message`` /
    ``_item_to_message_inner``
  - ``_output_items_to_messages`` / ``_output_item_to_message`` /
    ``_output_item_to_message_inner``

  For ``mcp_approval_request`` / ``mcp_approval_response`` items the
  helpers now load the original function-call Content from the
  approval storage (via ``ApprovalStorage.load_approval_request``)
  instead of synthesising a placeholder. This matches upstream
  semantics and lets approval round-trips reconstruct the real
  payload.

  The ``ApprovalStorage`` Protocol moves to ``_shared.py`` so the
  conversion helpers can reference it without pulling in
  ``_responses.py`` (which would create a circular import). The
  concrete ``InMemoryFunctionApprovalStorage`` and
  ``FileBasedFunctionApprovalStorage`` stay in ``_responses.py``
  next to the host that owns them, and re-export
  ``ApprovalStorage`` from ``_shared`` for compatibility.

  The workflow-host streaming path passes its own
  ``self._approval_storage`` into ``_to_outputs`` so approval
  requests are saved at emit time.

* Bump ``_history_provider.FoundryHostedAgentHistoryProvider.get_messages``
  to ``await`` the now-async ``_output_items_to_messages`` call.

No public API change beyond the new keyword-only ``approval_storage``
parameter on the four conversion entry points.

Validation:
- uv run poe check-packages -P foundry_hosting (lint + pyright clean)
- uv run poe mypy -P foundry_hosting (clean)
- uv run poe test -P foundry_hosting (183 passed, 1 skipped)
