Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Bump Python package versions for 1.12.0 release

Bump packages represented in the 1.12.0 changelog, promote Foundry Hosting, Azure Content Understanding, Gemini, Mistral, Monty, and Tools to beta, and apply the requested beta cohort date stamp. Root and core move to 1.12.0, released and RC packages use their selected increments, alpha packages including Hosting MCP use the 260721 stamp, and core floors are raised only for proven consumers.

+# Azure Content Understanding Samples
+
+These samples demonstrate how to use the `agent-framework-azure-contentunderstanding` package to add document, image, audio, and video understanding to your agents.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. Azure CLI logged in: `az login`
+2. Environment variables set (or `.env` file in the `python/` directory):
+   ```
+   FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT=https://your-project.services.ai.azure.com
+   FOUNDRY_MODEL=gpt-4.1
+   AZURE_CONTENTUNDERSTANDING_ENDPOINT=https://your-cu-resource.cognitiveservices.azure.com/
