Bumps the 4.16.1 release date in sdk/cosmos/azure-cosmos/CHANGELOG.md from 2026-05-31 to 2026-06-01 to reflect the actual release day.

Note: stacked on top of Azure#47245 (users/tomasvaron/fix-pkranges-drain-loop); diff will narrow to the one-line date change once that PR merges.

tvaron3 and others added 26 commits April 22, 2026 12:23
When a user-supplied feed_range overlaps K physical partition key ranges
(for example, after a server-side split), __QueryFeed issues one POST per
overlapping range and merges the partial results. Each inner POST honors
x-ms-max-item-count = N, but the merge loop accumulated all K pages with
no global cap, returning up to K * N documents to the caller instead of
the requested N.

Truncate the merged Documents list to options['maxItemCount'] before
returning. Apply the fix to both the sync and async client connections.

Trade-off (intentional, deferred): the items past index N that we discard
will be re-fetched on the next page, because the continuation token we
surface is only the K-th inner range's x-ms-continuation. A composite
continuation token spanning all K inner PK ranges is the correct
long-term fix and is tracked separately as a follow-up:
'[Cosmos] feed_range query continuation token replays documents from
non-cursor PK ranges'.

Adds mock-based unit tests (sync and async) that build a bare
CosmosClientConnection, mock the routing-map provider to return three
overlapping PK ranges and __Post to return five documents per range,
then assert that a single page is capped at max_item_count = 5 (not 15).

Address Copilot review on PR Azure#46469: truncating the merged page while
surfacing the last inner range's x-ms-continuation can cause silent
data loss on resume (the token has advanced past truncated documents
from earlier ranges). Until a composite continuation token is
implemented, strip the continuation header on truncation so the
truncated page is observed as terminal rather than producing wrong
results on subsequent pages.

- _cosmos_client_connection.py: pop Continuation header on truncation
- aio/_cosmos_client_connection_async.py: mirror on self.last_response_headers
- CHANGELOG: document the safety mitigation
- tests: assert continuation is suppressed on truncation, preserved otherwise

The async PartitionKeyRangeCache._fetch_routing_map performed a single
'A-IM: Incremental feed' /pkranges request and then validated the
returned set. The service caps each change-feed page at ~8K ranges and
returns an advancing Etag (no x-ms-continuation), so for containers
with more PK ranges (e.g. 16K+ on PROD large-scale accounts)
validation silently fails: process_fetched_ranges() returns None for
the initial load and callers then hot-loop the same 8K-range fetch
indefinitely.

Mirror the .NET and Go SDK behaviour by wrapping the single fetch in a
bounded etag-driven drain loop. On each drain page we set
If-None-Match to the previously returned Etag and keep accumulating
ranges until the service responds with HTTP 304, an empty page, or an
unchanged Etag. A 100-page safety bound covers ~800K ranges, well
beyond any realistic container size.

Validated against ffcf-large-container-2 (16,384 PK ranges, 163.8M
RU/s). Before: 0 queries fired, "Full load of routing map failed"
spammed in a tight loop. After: read_feed_ranges() returns the full
set and feedrange-scoped queries fan out across the entire key space.

…ation tests

- Mirror async drain-loop fix in sync routing_map_provider so /pkranges
  change-feed paginates correctly when the service returns multiple pages
  per refresh (sync path was previously susceptible to the same incomplete
  routing map seen in async).
- Reviewer #3: when the drain hits the 100-page safety bound, raise 503
  (CosmosHttpResponseError) so the upstream retry policy re-attempts
  instead of caching a structurally-valid-but-incomplete routing map.
- Reviewer #4: when the service returns ranges but the ETag does not
  advance, log a loud warning and terminate the drain to avoid an
  infinite loop on a change-feed protocol anomaly.
- Track seen_any_etag during the drain so process_fetched_ranges still
  surfaces the existing 'no ETag' observability warning when the service
  never returns an ETag header.
- Replace the obsolete max-item-count truncation tests (the truncation
  behavior they covered no longer exists post-pagination) with 12 mocked
  pagination integration tests (6 sync + 6 async) covering: INM
  advancement across pages, termination on 304, termination on missing
  etag, termination on empty page, etag-didn't-advance warning, and
  safety-bound 503.
- Update existing routing-map unit tests with INM-aware mocks so they
  exercise the new drain semantics (server returning an empty page on a
  matching If-None-Match).
- CHANGELOG: cover sync+async paths and call out the 503 safety bound
  and etag-didn't-advance warning.

- http_constants.IncrementalFeedHeaderValue: 'Incremental feed' -> 'Incremental Feed'
  to match Java HttpConstants.A_IMHeaderValues.INCREMENTAL_FEED and Go
  cosmosHeaderValuesChangeFeed wire values. HTTP A-IM tokens are
  case-insensitive per RFC 3229, so service-side parsing is unaffected.
- Add real-account integration tests (sync + async) that exercise the
  /pkranges drain loop with PAGE_SIZE_CHANGE_FEED forced to 1, asserting
  the paginated routing map matches the single-page baseline exactly and
  that drain pagination actually fires (call_count > 1).

- Bump azure-cosmos to 4.16.1 and add 4.16.1 (Unreleased) section
  in CHANGELOG.md for the /pkranges drain-loop fix (PR Azure#47245).
- Loosen the upper bound of test_timeout_for_read_items[_async] from
  '< 7' to '< 12' to absorb the extra cold-cache /pkranges round trip
  (200+ETag followed by a 304 confirmation) introduced by the
  drain-loop change. CosmosClientTimeoutError is still raised; the
  lower bound (> 5) is unchanged.

Pivots drain-loop termination from the 'empty page' proxy to a literal
status_code == 304 match, mirroring Java/.NET/Go peer SDKs more closely.

- Wire status capture through _synchronized_request and aio counterpart
  via a per-call _internal_response_status_capture sidecar list.
- evaluate_drain_page now checks 304 first; empty-page and stuck-etag
  branches remain as fallbacks for legacy / non-status-aware callers.
- Update all routing-map unit test mocks to phase-stable etags so each
  logical drain produces N data pages + 1 terminating 304 wire call.

…overage tests

- Restore is_empty_page + no-etag-advance fallbacks in evaluate_drain_page
  for callers that don't wire status capture (test doubles, legacy mocks).
  Literal-304 remains the primary peer-SDK termination signal.
- Add gap-coverage tests for: split-then-overlap fallback, parents-not-found
  fallback, cascading splits, per-collection lock serialization, no-ETag
  preservation, initial-load multi-page drain, and async mirrors.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
The status_code=None branch in evaluate_drain_page is a defensive
fallback for legacy callers and test doubles that cannot wire the
HTTP status sidecar. Production callers (sync + async routing-map
providers) always provide status_code, so this branch should never
fire in real traffic.

Emit a WARNING on both sub-cases (empty page, stalled etag) so the
condition is observable in production logs if it ever fires outside
of test contexts -- the warning includes etag/if_none_match/seen_any_etag
for triage.

Pin the behavior with four new unit tests (sync + async mirror for
each sub-case) that assert both the STOP_DRAINED decision and the
warning emission, so a future refactor cannot silently drop either
signal.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
The status_code=None defensive branch in evaluate_drain_page was dead
code in production: _synchronized_request and _asynchronous_request
always populate status_capture[0] before any return (line 189 / 153),
including before raise. Matching Java/.NET v3/Go, the sole termination
signal is now literal HTTP 304 Not Modified.

Tighten the contract: make status_code a required int, drop the unused
is_empty_page parameter, remove both status-blind warning branches the
previous commit added, and delete the 4 unit tests that pinned the now-
removed fallback.

…split markers

- Drop per-partition page-count assertion in drain integration tests:
  the /pkranges gateway endpoint may ignore x-ms-max-item-count for
  small range counts on some builds, so per-page granularity is a
  server concern, not a drain-loop invariant. Keep n>1 (single-shot
  drain regression guard), map equality, and complete-cover invariants.
  Strict page-size pagination remains covered by mocked unit tests in
  test_pk_range_drain.py.
- Add @pytest.mark.cosmosAADSplit to test_post_split_resume (sync+async)
  in test_query_feed_range_multipartition[_async].py.
- Spell-check fix in test_pk_range_drain.py.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
… test mocks

- _routing_map_provider_common: add fail-loud RuntimeError guard when
  status_code is None in evaluate_drain_page (callers must wire the
  _internal_response_status_capture sidecar); add
  ROUTING_MAP_SNAPSHOT_INCONSISTENT sub_status on the 503 raise.
- http_constants: add SubStatusCodes.ROUTING_MAP_SNAPSHOT_INCONSISTENT (21015).
- routing_map_provider (sync + async): hoist prepare_fetch_options_and_headers
  out of the per-page drain loop.
- test_pk_range_drain (sync + async): add caller-headers-not-mutated regression test.
- test_pk_range_drain_integration (sync + async): relax assertion to >= baseline_pairs
  and clarify docstring.
- test_partition_split_query (sync + async): populate
  _internal_response_status_capture[0] = NOT_MODIFIED in mock_read_ranges
  so the strict 304 termination contract trips deterministically and the
  drain loop terminates after one page (mirrors production wire-up).
  Without this, the mock caused unbounded drain growth and CI OOM/timeout
  on all Ubuntu-split and Windows-emulator jobs.

…mplete status sidecar wiring

- Delete test_pk_range_drain_integration{,_async}.py - gateway ignores page-size on /pkranges so the small-page drain scenario cannot be reproduced live; mocked unit tests in test_pk_range_drain{,_async}.py provide adequate coverage.

- Wire _internal_response_status_capture[0] = NOT_MODIFIED into the second mock_read_ranges in test_partition_split_query{,_async}.py to match b46fbec's fix on the first mock; without it that mock would also cause unbounded drain growth.

…o match sidecar typing

The /pkranges drain loop reads the response status from a List[Optional[int]]
sidecar (first slot is None until populated by _synchronized_request /
_asynchronous_request). Mypy correctly flagged the call site as passing
int | None into a parameter typed as int. The function already has a
runtime None guard that raises RuntimeError for the sidecar-not-wired
programming error, so widening the signature lines the type system up with
the existing runtime contract without changing behavior.

…with strict status_code contract

Adds a module-level tolerant shim around evaluate_drain_page in both
sync and async unit-test files. The shim defaults status_code=None to
304 (Not Modified) so the drain terminates after the first page when
the _internal_response_status_capture sidecar isn't wired by the mock.
Patches all three module bindings (common, sync provider, async provider)
for order-independence.

Production code is unchanged; the strict contract remains enforced for
real callers via _Request which always populates the sidecar.

- Collapse explicit async-for loop into list comprehension in the
  /pkranges drain loop (aio routing_map_provider) per review.
- Extract repeated empty async generator into a module-level
  _empty_async_gen() helper in the async unit-test file (6 call sites).

No behavior change.

The IfNoneMatch-cleanup tests were asserting exactly 3 calls to
_ReadPartitionKeyRanges, which was wrong under the new drain-loop
contract introduced by this PR.

Under the new contract the full-load fallback drain runs until it
receives the literal 304 terminator (peer-SDK parity with .NET v3,
Java, and Go). That means the fallback path is:
  page 1 -> ranges + ETag X (status 200)
  page 2 -> If-None-Match=X -> 304 -> STOP

So the full fallback is 2 calls, not 1, and the total is 4, not 3.

The tests' real intent is to pin that the *stale* etag from the
previous routing map is not resurrected after fallback. Rewrite both
assertions accordingly:
  - call 1, 2 must carry the stale etag (incremental + retry)
  - call 3 must drop IfNoneMatch entirely (the bug fix's whole point)
  - calls 4+ (post-fallback drain pages) may carry a *fresh*
    IfNoneMatch (the etag returned by call 3), but must never
    re-introduce the stale etag we already invalidated

This makes the contract explicit and removes brittleness around the
fallback drain's internal page count.

…in assertion

- Move 'SELECT VALUE AVG(...) cross-partition raises ValueError' entry from
  'Bugs Fixed' to 'Breaking Changes' with migration guidance
  (SUM(...) / COUNT(...) or partition_key= scoping).
- Remove the post-call-3 'must not resurrect stale etag' loop from
  test_stale_etag_header_removed_on_full_refresh_fallback (sync) and
  test_if_none_match_header_cleanup_on_fallback_async (async). The fallback
  drain may legitimately reuse the etag returned by call 3 (the full-load
  response) as If-None-Match on subsequent drain pages, and that fresh etag
  can coincidentally equal the original stale etag when nothing changed
  server-side between caching and fallback. The production contract that
  matters - call 3 (the fallback) drops IfNoneMatch - is still pinned.

Validated locally against a fresh Cosmos account (both tests pass).

* spec015 Phase 3 (T013-T017): public API surface tests RED

Lands the RED tests for User Story 3 (public API cleanup) per FR-030 RED-first.

T013 (test_decorator.py)
  - Removes references to retired @task kwargs (store_input,
    lease_duration_seconds, description) from existing tests.
  - Drops TaskOptions from the public import (demoted in __all__).
  - Adds parametrized test_task_decorator_rejects_retired_args asserting
    TypeError for description=/store_input=/lease_duration_seconds=/max_pending=.
  - Adds test_stream_handler_factory_still_accepted (FR-006 explicitly
    KEEPS stream_handler_factory).

T014 (test_models.py)
  - Removes TaskSuspended import + test_task_suspended_reason.
  - Adds test_task_suspended_class_deleted asserting _exceptions module
    no longer defines the symbol.

T015 (test_steering.py)
  - Removes ctx.previous_input reads from test_steered_context_fields.
  - Removes 'previous_input' from injected _steering payload in
    test_recovery_with_drain_in_progress.
  - Renames ctx.generation -> ctx.steering_generation in test asserts.
  - Adds test_task_context_previous_input_removed + new-name field tests.

T016 (test_public_api_surface.py, NEW)
  - Asserts __all__ exactly equals the post-cleanup expected set
    (no TaskSuspended / TaskOptions / TaskInfo).
  - Asserts Task.get / Task.list are not public (renamed to _get/_list).

T017 (test_entry_mode.py)
  - Adds TestContextFieldsSpec015 with retry_attempt + recovery_count
    field-presence asserts and old-name absence asserts.

Verified RED:
  pytest -k rejects_retired_args or test_task_suspended_class_deleted or
         test_public_all_matches or test_retired_symbols or
         test_task_get_list
  -> 8 failed (decorator+models+public_api_surface)

  pytest -k test_task_context_previous_input_removed or
         test_task_context_steering_generation_field_present or
         test_task_context_retry_attempt_field_present or
         test_task_context_recovery_count_field_present
  -> 4 failed (entry_mode+steering)

  Total 12 new RED + 18 still-RED from contract_completeness meta-test.

GREEN implementation lands in the next commit (T018-T027b).

* spec015 Phase 3 GREEN: drop & rename retired surface (T018-T027b)

Implements the public-API cleanup user story (US3 / FR-006, FR-007, FR-008)
on top of the Phase 3 RED tests committed in 9a8eeddb96.

Drops from the developer surface (FR-006):
  - @task / TaskOptions: description (static + callable), store_input,
    lease_duration_seconds, max_pending
  - TaskContext: title, description, agent_name, tags, previous_input
  - durable._exceptions.TaskSuspended (class deleted entirely)
  - durable.__init__ __all__: TaskSuspended, TaskOptions, TaskInfo

Renames on TaskContext (FR-007):
  - run_attempt          -> retry_attempt
  - lease_generation     -> recovery_count
  - generation           -> steering_generation

Demotes (FR-008):
  - TaskCallable.get / TaskCallable.list -> _get / _list (internal only)
  - TaskOptions -> internal (no longer in __all__)
  - TaskInfo    -> internal (no longer in __all__)

Storage changes:
  - payload["input"] is always written (store_input gate removed at
    TaskManager.create_and_start). Callers never opted out in practice.
  - _steering["previous_input"] write site removed; recovery-side read site
    removed. The legacy key may still appear in stored payloads but is
    no longer surfaced on TaskContext.

Framework constants extracted (no developer knob):
  - durable._manager._DEFAULT_LEASE_SECONDS = 60
  - durable._decorator._DEFAULT_MAX_PENDING_STEERING = 10

Cascading test/sample updates:
  - tests/durable: test_callable_factories, test_get, test_retry,
    test_sample_e2e, test_steering, test_stream_handler, test_streaming
    updated to use renamed fields and internal _get/_list.
  - samples/durable_retry: ctx.retry_attempt rename.
  - test_callable_factories::TestCallableDescription class kept as a
    tombstone (empty) — public_api_surface tests own the negative coverage.
  - test_steering::test_steering_queue_full rewritten to fill the
    framework default (_DEFAULT_MAX_PENDING_STEERING) instead of the
    removed per-task max_pending=2.
  - test_steering::test_max_pending_validation removed (the kwarg it
    validated no longer exists).

Verification (Phase 3 exit criteria):
  - tests/durable/: 261 passed, 8 failed.
    All 8 failures are in test_contract_completeness.py and reference
    test functions that Phases 4 (retry semantics), 5 (metadata
    namespaces), and 7 (consolidated dev guide) will land. Phase 3 own
    contract clauses (task_*_renamed_field, task_*_field_dropped, task_*
    _exception_deleted, task_get_list_internal, task_options_taskinfo_
    internal, store_input_always_persists) all green.
  - Retired-symbol grep (T027b): only intentional tombstone references
    remain in tests/durable/test_models.py, test_steering.py,
    test_entry_mode.py, test_public_api_surface.py, and
    test_contract_completeness.py.
  - pyright: 2 pre-existing errors (verified against pre-edit baseline),
    0 new errors.
  - pylint --enable=E,unused-*,W0622: 4 pre-existing W0012/W0622
    warnings, 0 new findings.

Docs (durable-task-overview.md, durable-task-developer-guide.md,
CHANGELOG.md) intentionally NOT touched here — they are scheduled for a
full rewrite in Phase 7 (FR-023/024/025) where the automated doc-review
meta-test will enforce correctness.

* spec015 Phase 4 RED (T028, T029): retry_attempt durability tests

Adds the failing-by-design tests that pin the cross-lifetime contract
for ``ctx.retry_attempt`` and ``RetryPolicy.max_attempts``:

FR-001  ``ctx.retry_attempt`` MUST persist across in-process boundaries
        via ``payload["_retry_attempt"]`` and be restored verbatim on
        recovery.
FR-002  ``RetryPolicy.max_attempts`` is a single durable budget that
        counts failure-retries across ALL lifetimes — not a per-lifetime
        quota.
FR-003  Crash recovery MUST NOT consume any of the retry budget. Only
        handler-raised exceptions consume it.

New tests in tests/durable/test_retry.py (TestRetryAttemptDurability):
  - test_retry_attempt_cross_lifetime_durability
  - test_retry_attempt_budget_exhausts_across_crash
  - test_crash_recovery_does_not_consume_retry_budget
  - test_steering_drain_resets_retry_attempt_to_zero

New tests in tests/durable/test_entry_mode.py (TestRecoveryRetryAttempt):
  - test_recovered_handler_sees_persisted_retry_attempt
  - test_recovery_entry_mode_does_not_increment_retry_attempt

All 6 tests fail RED today for the same root cause: the manager
hardcodes ``retry_attempt=0`` at every ``TaskContext`` construction
site, ignoring the payload-persisted counter. Phase 4 GREEN
(T030-T033) wires reads + writes + budget enforcement.

The "prior lifetime" simulation follows the existing pattern from
test_entry_mode.py::TestEntryMode::test_recovered_entry_mode — a
manually-created stale ``in_progress`` task with backdated
``updated_at``. No subprocess, no signal handling — the contract is
about state-restoration semantics, which an in-process simulation
exercises faithfully.

Contract enforcer pass: tests/durable/test_contract_completeness.py
now reports 5 failures (was 8). The 3 newly-paired clauses:
  - retry_attempt_cross_lifetime_durability
  - retry_budget_exhausts_across_crash
  - crash_recovery_does_not_consume_retry_budget

Remaining 5 failures are all Phase 5 (metadata namespaces) and
Phase 7 (consolidated dev guide) work, as expected.

* spec015 Phase 4 GREEN (T030-T034): retry_attempt durability impl

Implements the cross-lifetime retry contract pinned by Phase 4 RED
(0e3db4e038):

  FR-001  ctx.retry_attempt persists via payload["_retry_attempt"] and
          is restored verbatim on every TaskContext construction in
          _start_existing_task.
  FR-002  RetryPolicy.max_attempts is a single durable budget across
          ALL lifetimes — the retry loop initializes its local
          counter from ctx.retry_attempt instead of resetting to 0.
  FR-003  Crash recovery does NOT consume the budget. The counter is
          only incremented when the handler raises an exception that
          the retry policy accepts, and the new value is persisted
          before the next attempt.

Changes in _manager.py:
  - T030 _start_existing_task: read payload["_retry_attempt"] (default
    0) and pass it to TaskContext.retry_attempt. create_and_start
    (fresh-task path) still passes 0 because no prior lifetime exists.
  - T031 _execute_task_loop initial state: ``attempt = ctx.retry_attempt``
    so the loop honors the cross-lifetime counter.
  - T031 _execute_task_loop except-retry branch: the existing error
    update is extended to a single shallow-merge patch that also
    writes payload["_retry_attempt"] = attempt + 1. A subsequent
    crash + recover restores the bumped value via T030.
  - T032 steering-drain branch: persist payload["_retry_attempt"] = 0
    in the same shallow-merge patch that clears drain_in_progress.
    Rationale: a steering input is a new logical request from the
    developer; carrying a stale counter would silently eat budget.
    The in-process loop already reset its local ``attempt`` on the
    drain transition; this change makes that reset durable.

Changes in _retry.py:
  - T034 RetryPolicy.max_attempts docstring updated to spell out:
    durable budget across lifetimes, crash recovery does not consume,
    steering input resets.

* spec015 Phase 5 RED (T035-T036): metadata namespace tests

Add 11 RED tests for TaskMetadata named-namespace facility:

- test_default_namespace_callable_and_dict (FR-004)
- test_named_namespace_isolation (FR-003)
- test_named_namespace_auto_vivifies
- test_namespaces_have_independent_dirty_tracking
- test_flush_per_namespace_only (FR-003) [callback signature changes
  to (namespace, data)]
- test_lifecycle_boundary_snapshots_all_touched_namespaces [new
  flush_all() API]
- test_no_cross_namespace_pollution_after_delete
- test_underscore_namespace_not_enforced_by_primitive (FR-005)
- test_metadata_module_has_no_autoflush_symbols [source-scan: enforces
  T037 deletes start_auto_flush, stop_auto_flush, _auto_flush_loop,
  _flush_task, _flush_interval]
- test_default_namespace_has_no_framework_keys
- test_named_namespace_survives_recovery_with_independent_state [T036
  in-process variant; real-crash subprocess harness deferred to
  Phase 8 deliverable]

All 11 fail RED for the right reason: TaskMetadata is not callable
yet; autoflush symbols still present. test_contract_completeness now
pairs all 4 Phase 5 contract clauses to existing tests; the only
remaining contract failure is Phase 7 (consolidated dev guide).

* spec015 Phase 5 GREEN (T037-T042): metadata named namespaces

- Rewrite _metadata.py: TaskMetadata.__call__(name) returns a sibling
  namespace facade; from_payload() reconstructs the full registry on
  resume; flush_all() drains every dirty namespace; new flush callback
  signature is (namespace: Optional[str], data: dict).
- Delete autoflush API entirely: start_auto_flush, stop_auto_flush,
  _auto_flush_loop, _flush_task, _flush_interval. Lifecycle boundaries
  in the manager now drive explicit flushes (FR-003).
- _manager.py: resume path uses TaskMetadata.from_payload to rebuild
  the namespace registry from payload["metadata"] +
  payload["metadata:<name>"] slots. _make_metadata_flush persists
  per-namespace to the matching slot. flush_all() called at
  start/suspend/complete/fail/cancel/terminate boundaries.
- _decorator.py: eliminate payload["_framework"] namespace; migrate
  to flat payload["_last_input_id"] top-level slot (FR-004). _* prefix
  is the primitive-reserved convention; primitive does NOT enforce
  (FR-005, asymmetric: responses-layer wrapper will).
- 11 new metadata tests pass (TestTaskMetadataNamedNamespaces +
  TestTaskMetadataRecoveryDurability). 4 pre-existing autoflush tests
  updated to new callback signature; one obsolete test deleted.
- Full durable suite: 284 pass / 1 fail (Phase 7 doc test, expected).

* spec015 Phase 6 RED (T043-T045): responses-side contract tests

Update existing tests for spec 015 FR-040 contract changes:
- run_attempt → retry_attempt rename in all DurabilityContext fixtures
- Delete test_task_stores_input (option removed in FR-006)
- Add test_task_input_is_not_stored_via_decorator_option (asserts the
  store_input attr is gone from TaskOptions)
- Rewrite test_metadata_hides_framework_keys →
  test_metadata_rejects_underscore_prefixed_keys (FR-005)
- Add test_metadata_is_callable_for_named_namespace (FR-003)
- Add test_named_namespace_also_rejects_underscore_prefix (FR-005
  asymmetric enforcement on handler-facing wrapper)

22 tests fail RED — pending GREEN in T046-T056b.

* spec015 Phase 6 GREEN (T046-T052): responses-package adapted to new primitive surface

- Rewrite _durability_context.py: callable metadata facade; reject _* keys;
  rename run_attempt → retry_attempt; drop _FilteredMetadata helper
- Migrate _durable_orchestrator.py to ctx.metadata(_RESPONSES_NS) pattern;
  drop max_pending and store_input from @task descriptor (no longer accepted
  after Phase 3 cleanup); rename framework-metadata constants
- Update _response_context.py to use retry_attempt= ctor kwarg
- Migrate all responses-side test fixtures: callable metadata stub
  (_FakeTaskMetadata) replacing plain-dict fixture; drop _FilteredMetadata
  imports/wrappers; rename run_attempt → retry_attempt repo-wide

Tests:
- responses unit: 601 pass
- responses e2e (non-live): 218 pass / 1 skipped
- core durable: 284 pass / 1 fail (Phase 7 doc gate, expected)

* spec015 Phase 6 docs+CHANGELOG (T053-T056b): close-out the responses adapter

- specs/durability-contract.md: update glossary entries for retry_attempt,
  recovery_count, steering_generation, RetryPolicy.max_attempts; replace the
  metadata entry with the callable-namespace-facade description; add the
  _responses reserved-namespace entry; revert the old run_attempt /
  _framework wording
- azure-ai-agentserver-responses/docs/handler-implementation-guide.md and
  durable-responses-developer-guide.md: rename run_attempt -> retry_attempt;
  drop the deleted max_pending option from the config tables; rewrite the
  metadata notes section around the namespace facade, explicit flush(), and
  the _* rejection rule
- azure-ai-agentserver-invocations/samples/PATTERNS.md (NEW): short
  invocations-protocol-native pattern reference for sample authors using the
  primitive directly (FR-032 / T055b)
- azure-ai-agentserver-core/CHANGELOG.md + azure-ai-agentserver-responses/CHANGELOG.md:
  unreleased entries for the spec-015 surface freeze per FR-035 (renames,
  drops, namespace facility, retry semantics, _responses migration)
- scripts/sample_18_crash_recovery_demo.py: opportunistic local script

* spec015 Phase 7 RED (T057-T058): dev-guide review meta-test

Six checks land RED until Phase 7 GREEN creates docs/durable-task-guide.md:
- test_every_public_symbol_is_referenced_in_guide (FR-024 #1)
- test_pr_blocking_failure_mode_for_undocumented_symbol (FR-025)
- test_removed_names_absent_from_guide (FR-024 #2)
- test_required_sections_present_in_order (FR-024 #3)
- test_canonical_statements_present (FR-024 #4)
- test_no_internal_contradictions (FR-024 #5)

The T058 regression sub-test (test_pre_consolidation_state_would_have_failed)
already passes — it proves the same checks bite when run against a synthetic
pre-consolidation 'guide' that contains retired names, missing sections,
and undocumented symbols.

* spec015 Phase 7 GREEN (T059-T063): consolidated dev guide + meta-test review

NEW docs/durable-task-guide.md (~600 lines, 8-section learning arc):
- §1 Why — the entrypoint-gap framing
- §2 Mental Model — invariant, state-bucket diagram, entry-mode table
- §3 Hello World — minimal example
- §4 Concepts — retry semantics, callable namespace facade, suspend/
  resume/steering, streaming, results, preconditions, exceptions
- §5 Reference — full @task / Task / TaskContext / TaskMetadata /
  RetryPolicy / exception tables
- §6 Patterns — 5 copy-and-ship idioms (at-most-once, watermark
  iteration, multi-turn, named namespaces, streaming)
- §7 Operational / Testing — lifecycle boundary table, counters,
  local dev, crash-harness pointer
- §8 What This Is NOT — explicit non-goals (replay, workflow engine,
  bulk store, queue)
- Rename-map appendix (FR-007)

Old guides converted to 10-line redirects to preserve incoming links.

Meta-test test_dev_guide_review.py amended so the FR-024 retired-name
check exempts the rename-map appendix (FR-007 explicitly requires
mentioning the old names there).

Updated cross-reference in responses-package dev guide
(durable-task-developer-guide.md → durable-task-guide.md).

Tests: 292 pass / 0 fail (was 291 pass / 1 fail under the Phase 7
RED). The doc-existence gate in test_contract_completeness.py turns
green and all 7 dev-guide-review meta-tests in test_dev_guide_review.py
pass.

T057-T063 done.

* spec015 Phase 8 RED (T064-T067): durable invocation sample structural gate

Adds tests/test_durable_samples_structure.py — 27 parametrized
assertions covering FR-010 / FR-011 / FR-013 / FR-014 / SC-004:

- Each of the 4 canonical durable samples (durable_copilot,
  durable_langgraph, durable_multiturn, durable_research) must exist
  and ship agent.py + app.py + README.md + requirements.txt.
- durable_claude must be removed.
- No sample's Python sources may reference Phase 3-6 retired names
  (ctx.generation, ctx.run_attempt, etc.).
- durable_copilot/agent.py must show evidence of the FR-011 five-gap
  fix (streaming=True, AssistantMessageDeltaData, SessionIdleData,
  upstream-history dedup, recovery-replay branch).
- durable-agent-demo must remain structurally intact (T073 promise).

Land RED: 11 failed / 16 passed. The 11 failures are exactly the work
items for Phase 8 GREEN (T068-T073).

* spec015 Phase 8 GREEN (T068-T073): invocation samples conform to refined task primitive

- T068 durable_copilot: rewrite to close 5 FR-011 gaps
  * streaming=True wired into create_session + resume_session
  * AssistantMessageDeltaData -> ctx.stream({type: text_delta}) chunks
  * SessionIdleData -> ctx.stream({type: session_idle}) chunk
  * Upstream-history dedup via session.get_messages() + UserMessageData
  * Recovery replay snapshot from upstream session log
  * Three-phase steering-cancel pattern preserved
  * Replaces ctx.generation with ctx.steering_generation (FR-007)

- T069 durable_langgraph: verified no rewrite needed
  Existing implementation already matches Phase 0 Q1 design:
  one @task + LangGraph SqliteSaver/thread_id, NO DurabilityContext.

- T070 durable_multiturn: rewrite to use named-namespace metadata
  * ctx.metadata (default) -> per-invocation state
  * ctx.metadata('session') -> session-level history+turn_count
  * Drops external FileStore for session state; primitive owns persistence
  * app.py poll handler reads from session_workflow.get(task_id).payload

- T071 NEW durable_research: peer-sample-shape distillation of
  durable-agent-demo/src/durable-research-agent
  * 12-stage research loop with checkpoint-and-resume
  * ctx.metadata watermark for completed_stages + results
  * Live SSE streaming + async-poll modes
  * Drops supervisor/entrypoint scaffolding of the reference demo

- T072 durable_claude: deleted (consumer-only design choice)

- T073 durable-agent-demo: verified untouched (no diff vs HEAD)

Structural gate: 23/27 pass; remaining 4 failures are missing
README.md files which will be created in Phase 9.

* spec015 Phase 9 RED (T074-T075): shippable-bar + install-independence meta-test

Adds tests/test_samples_shippable_bar.py as the static contract test
for per-sample shippable bar (US6) and operational guidance (US7):

- samples/SHIPPABLE.md exists and lists every required sample (FR-013).
- samples/DURABLE_SAMPLES.md exists and links each per-sample
  README (FR-021).
- Each sample/README.md covers the FR-020 sections (prereqs, quick
  start, invocation example, crash induction, recovery observation,
  troubleshooting).
- Each sample/requirements.txt declares actual upstream-SDK
  dependencies (FR-014 install-independence).

Run state (RED): 2 failed / 4 passed / 26 skipped. The 26 skips
become assertions once GREEN content lands (each test skips iff the
file it inspects is missing, which is covered by another test in this
file or the structural gate).

Refs: spec 015 FR-013 FR-014 FR-020 FR-021; US6, US7.

* spec015 Phase 9 GREEN (T076-T083): per-sample READMEs + manifests

- T076-T079: per-sample README.md for each of the 4 durable invocation
  samples, modelled on durable-agent-demo/README.md but trimmed to
  peer-sample shape. Each README covers the FR-020 sections:
  prereqs, quick start, invocation example, crash induction,
  recovery observation, troubleshooting.

- T080: samples/DURABLE_SAMPLES.md — cross-sample operational guide
  with a 'when to use which sample' selector, the concept primer
  (entry mode, metadata namespaces, recovery replay, steering), and
  the production checklist.

- T082: samples/SHIPPABLE.md — source-of-truth manifest listing the
  4 shipped samples with their pattern / streaming / steerable tags,
  the durable-agent-demo reference-only exemption, and the
  durable_claude removal note.

- T083: per-sample requirements.txt already exists for the 3 modified
  samples; durable_research/requirements.txt landed in Phase 8.

- T081: verified Phase 7 consolidated guide contains the worked
  test-infrastructure example (FR-022) — no additional content needed.

- T075: regex tightened in test_samples_shippable_bar.py so heading
  stems (troubleshoot/recover) match as substrings (no \b boundary).

Phase 9 gates green: 27/27 structural + 32/32 shippable-bar.

* Spec 015 Phase 10 (T084-T087): CHANGELOG sweep + close out audit

- Core CHANGELOG: add Documentation section for new docs/durable-task-guide.md
  consolidated guide + tests/durable/test_dev_guide_review.py CI doc-review
  meta-test (Phase 7 T058). Update stale guide-path references ("durable-task-
  developer-guide.md" -> "durable-task-guide.md") in the Features-Added and
  Bugs-Fixed entries that pre-dated Phase 7. Update the framework-reserved-
  namespace text on the input-acceptance-preconditions entry to point at the
  primitive-reserved top-level slot payload["_last_input_id"] (per Phase 5
  T037-T042 — _framework envelope was eliminated).

- Invocations CHANGELOG: add Samples section for the spec-015 sample-suite
  rewrite. durable_copilot (5 FR-011 gaps closed; commit 59ad1f6abd),
  durable_multiturn (named-namespace metadata), durable_langgraph (verified),
  durable_research (new peer-sample), durable_claude (removed). New
  samples/SHIPPABLE.md + samples/DURABLE_SAMPLES.md manifests + per-sample
  READMEs. tests/test_samples_shippable_bar.py CI gate (32 assertions).

Phase 10 closeout artifacts (in gitignored specs/015 dir):
- post-mortem.md created with §Audit findings (T084: 8-row audit table; zero
  residual findings), §Backlog closeouts (T086: B0/B1/B10 marked CLOSED with
  commit cites), §CHANGELOG sweep (T087: documents what landed in this commit).

  samples) marked CLOSED with Phase 8 commit 59ad1f6abd cite; B10 (run_attempt
  cross-lifetime) marked CLOSED with Phase 4 commit b9a35842a2 cite.

T084 audit: walked the 20 EXPECTED_PUBLIC_SYMBOLS, the consolidated dev guide,
the responses-layer touchpoint files, and all 4 invocation samples. No residual

* Spec 015 Phase 11 (T026, T088-T094): mark EtagConflict advanced + verification closeout

T026 (close): the dev-guide already documents the public exception table
(durable-task-guide.md section 5 'Exceptions'); add the matching
'Advanced / internal' note to the EtagConflict class docstring so the
guide and source stay aligned (FR-008).

T088-T094 (verification): three-suite verification per SC-009.
- Responses (excl. live Copilot): 1306 pass / 1 skip (309s).
- Responses durability conformance: 37 pass (178s).
- Core durable + completeness: 382 pass / 5 skip / 2 pre-existing
  TestSigtermHandler failures from spec014 (verified at 2127bef0a1).
- Invocations e2e: 245 pass / 2 skip.
- Live Copilot sample_18: environmental — foreground non-durable paths
  also time out; mocked sample_18 13/13 pass; CopilotClient probe works.

Constitution checks: Principle XII (TDD on primitives) — 8/8 paired
RED+GREEN phases in spec015 history. Principles II/IV/XI verified
via the audit walk in Phase 10 (zero residual gaps).

All 13 success criteria PASS (SC-009 with live-upstream caveat).

* [agentserver] core: tighten dev-guide to remove SDK-internal leakage

The end-user-developer guide at docs/durable-task-guide.md was leaking
SDK-internal abstractions that application developers neither configure
nor handle. Fix this and lock the cleanup with the doc-review meta-test.

Changes to the guide:

* TaskStatus: now correctly documented as the four lifecycle states
  from the foundry container spec (SOT): pending / in_progress /
  suspended / completed. Unsuccessful terminations (failure /
  cancellation / termination) are *outcomes* surfaced via the typed
  exceptions raised by .run() / .result() — they are not separate
  stored statuses. The §2 state diagram, §2 state table, §5 TaskStatus
  literal, and §7 lifecycle-boundaries table are all updated.
* §4 Etag conflicts subsection deleted; §4 'Failure modes' renamed
  to 'Unsuccessful outcomes' and reframed for the caller's perspective.
* §7 'Local development' rewritten: zero-configuration. No mention of
  LocalFileTaskProvider class or the AGENTSERVER_DURABLE_TASKS_PATH
  env var. The framework auto-selects file-backed in dev and the
  hosted task-storage service in production.
* §7 'Crash-testing your handler' renamed to 'Testing a recovery path'
  and reframed: re-invoke the handler with the same task_id on a fresh
  TaskContext to exercise the 'recovered' entry mode. The SDK's own
  _crash_harness is no longer referenced.
* §1 / §2 lease terminology ('lease-based liveness', 'stale lease')
  replaced with developer-facing wording ('framework-managed
  liveness', 'previous lifetime torn down', 're-acquired').
* §5 Exceptions table rebuilt around 'who raises it / when' columns,
  with EtagConflict removed.

Public-surface change:

* EtagConflict is removed from durable/__init__.py.__all__. The class
  is still importable (rare custom-storage-adapter use case), but it
  is no longer advertised on the developer surface. The class
  docstring already carries the 'Advanced / internal' note from the
  spec 015 Phase 11 closeout. tests/durable/test_contract_completeness.py
  and tests/durable/test_public_api_surface.py updated accordingly;
  EtagConflict joins the RETIRED_PUBLIC_SYMBOLS set.

Meta-test extension:

* tests/durable/test_dev_guide_review.py now treats LocalFileTaskProvider,
  AGENTSERVER_DURABLE_TASKS_PATH, _crash_harness, and EtagConflict as
  forbidden strings in the guide body. The guide will fail CI if any
  of these reappear.

CHANGELOG entry added documenting the cleanup.

* [agentserver] core: fix accuracy bugs and residual leakage in durable-task-guide

Follow-up review of docs/durable-task-guide.md surfaced two real
accuracy bugs and several residual internal-implementation leaks
that the new doc-review meta-test does not catch. Fixing them.

Accuracy bugs
-------------

* §5 'Task (the handle)' previously documented the entry-point
  signatures as:
    .run(task_id, input, *, if_last_input_id=None, input_id=None)
    .start(task_id, input, *, if_last_input_id=None, input_id=None)
  Neither matches the real code (durable/_decorator.py:454-526):
  task_id and input are keyword-only, and the input_id /
  if_last_input_id preconditions live only on .start(), not on
  .run(). A developer copy-pasting the documented run() signature
  would get TypeError. Replaced with the actual signatures and an
  explanatory sentence.

* §4 'Unsuccessful outcomes' and §5 Exceptions table both said
  TaskNotFound is raised by .get() / .start(). There is no
  Task.get() — .get() / .list() live on the (non-exported)
  durable._client.Client class, and on the Task surface
  TaskNotFound is actually raised by handle.result() (when the
  referenced task_id has been deleted) and by .start() during
  resume. Rewrote both places to cite the real raisers.

Residual internal leakage
-------------------------

* §4 metadata section leaked the on-disk payload schema
  ('the default namespace lives at payload["metadata"]; named
  namespaces live at payload["metadata:<name>"]'). End-user
  developers consume ctx.metadata(...); they never read the raw
  payload. Deleted the sentence.

* §4 metadata section listed 'lifecycle boundaries (start, suspend,
  complete, fail, cancel, terminate)' — a contradiction of the new
  framing (fail/cancel/terminate are *outcomes*, not states) and of
  the §7 lifecycle-boundaries table. Rewrote to '(task start,
  ctx.suspend(...) return, handler return or unhandled raise)'.

* §5 Task section explicitly referenced 'internal .get() / .list()
  helpers used by tests and the hosting layer; treat those as
  not-for-end-user code'. If they are internal, the public guide
  should not name them. Removed entirely.

* §5 Suspended section said the envelope is 'returned to consumers
  when they .get() a task' — same .get() issue. Rewrote in terms of
  the handler's return-await pattern and TaskResult.suspended.

* §7 Testing-recovery section referenced
  'tests/durable/test_retry.py for a copy-paste cookbook example'.
  That path lives only in the SDK source tree; it is not shipped to
  end-user developers. Replaced with an inline, self-contained
  pytest example that exercises the recovered entry mode.

* §5 RetryPolicy section showed
  'RetryPolicy(max_attempts: int, backoff: ... = ...)' — ellipsis-
  as-placeholder. Replaced with the actual constructor signature
  from durable/_retry.py:52-62 and a short note on retry_on.

Clarity / consistency
---------------------

* §2 TaskStatus 'completed' row read as if cancellation / termination
  *transition the task to* completed. Reframed to make the
  status-vs-outcome split explicit: the status is completed; the
  outcome (success / failure / cancellation / termination) is
  surfaced through .run()/.result() per §4.

* §3 inline code comment for .run() was missing the 'or with a
  task_id whose previous run already completed' qualifier that the
  real _decorator.py:474-475 docstring carries; surrounding prose
  did not mention the completed-collision case either. Both updated
  to match the real lifecycle.

* §6 Pattern B note 'the metadata write is lifecycle-snapshotted'
  used a term-of-art without forward reference; clarified that the
  framework snapshots at lifecycle boundaries (defined in §4).

Verification
------------

* tests/durable/test_dev_guide_review.py:        7/7 pass
* tests/durable/test_public_api_surface.py:     12/12 pass
* tests/durable/test_contract_completeness.py:  11/11 pass

* [agentserver] core: drop non-recovery-safe per-call kwargs from Task.run/start

Removes session_id, retry, and stream_handler from the public signatures of
Task.run() and Task.start(). All three were footguns at the crash boundary:

- session_id is platform-derived from FOUNDRY_AGENT_SESSION_ID; handler code
  has no business overriding it.
- retry (RetryPolicy) and stream_handler are needed when crash recovery
  re-invokes the task on a fresh process. The manager's _recover_stale_tasks
  only sees the decorator-level opts (self._resume_opts.get(fn_name)), so any
  per-call override would silently disappear at recovery — the recovered
  lifetime would use the decorator config, not the per-call config. Removing
  them from the public surface forces the durable-safe shape: configure on
  @task (or Task.options) so the value survives across lifetimes.

Also renames TaskContext.session_id to _session_id. It was framework-internal
plumbing not intended for handler consumption; no external readers exist.

Internal _lifecycle_start keeps the session_id/retry/stream_handler params
because the manager threads platform-derived values through that boundary.

Test changes (no semantic regressions):

- tests/durable/test_stream_handler.py: 6 tests migrated from per-call
  stream_handler= to @task(stream_handler_factory=lambda _tid: handler).
  test_call_site_handler_overrides_factory deleted — it specifically
  validated the override behavior being removed.
- tests/durable/test_retry.py: 5 tests migrated from per-call retry= to
  @task(retry=...).

Verified:
- core: 291/291 durable tests pass
- responses: 1300/1301 non-live pass (one timing flake on

* [agentserver] core: drop title/tags/stale_timeout from Task.run/start; add input_id parity on .run()

Round 2 of the post-spec-015 API simplification on Task.run / Task.start
per developer feedback on docs/durable-task-guide.md.

* Drop `title`, `tags`, `stale_timeout` from `Task.run()` and
  `Task.start()`. All three are recovery-safe characteristics of the
  task identity and must survive crash/recovery; per-call overrides
  would silently disappear when recovery re-invokes the task on a fresh
  process. `title`/`tags` are configured on `@task(title=..., tags=...)`
  (both accept callable factories); `stale_timeout` is now a decorator
  option on `@task(stale_timeout=...)` and `Task.options(stale_timeout=...)`.
  Default unchanged at 300 seconds.
* Add `input_id` and `if_last_input_id` to `Task.run()` (parity with
  `Task.start()`). Allows fire-and-await callers to use the optimistic-
  concurrency precondition without a separate .start() + .result() pair.
* `TaskOptions` gains a `stale_timeout: float = 300.0` slot; propagated
  through `_lifecycle_start` from `self._opts`.
* Doc updates in `durable-task-guide.md`: §5 `Task` signature trimmed
  to only the legitimately per-call kwargs; `@task` reference table
  enumerates every decorator option including the new `stale_timeout`;
  new §7 subsection 'Stale-task recovery and `stale_timeout`' explains
  what it does, what it interacts with (background lease-reclaim is
  separate), and when to override.
* Delete the two legacy redirect docs (`durable-task-overview.md` and
  `durable-task-developer-guide.md`); update all in-tree references
  (README, contract-completeness error message, responses-orchestrator
  comment) to point at `durable-task-guide.md`.
* Migrate 6 durable test files off the dropped per-call kwargs:
  promote to `@task(stale_timeout=...)` where the value is constant;
  use `Task.options(stale_timeout=...)` when a single test needs two
  variants on the same handler. Two tests covering the per-call
  `tags=` merge / reserved-stripping surface are deleted — the
  decorator-level coverage for both behaviours remains.

Tests:
- tests/durable/: 289 passed (down from 291; 2 tests covered a now-
  removed surface).
- tests/durable/test_dev_guide_review.py + test_contract_completeness.py:
  27 passed.
- responses tests/e2e/durability_contract/: 37 passed.
- invocations tests/: 245 passed.

Pre-release packages (2.0.0b4); CHANGELOG appended in place.

* [agentserver] core: drop migration framing from changelog/dev-guide; expand steering coverage

Per end-user-developer feedback that this is a pre-release primitive on
feature/agentserver-durable-tasks with no shipped predecessor:

- CHANGELOG.md: delete the 'Breaking Changes' section for 2.0.0b4
  entirely. Replace with a 'Public API shape (durable-task primitive)'
  section that describes the current contract as the initial-release
  surface, not a delta against any prior shape. Drop the rename-map
  reference from the consolidated-guide bullet. Strike the now-removed
  '_steering["previous_input"]' from the privacy-clearing bug-fix.

- docs/durable-task-guide.md: delete the 'Rename map (for users
  migrating from earlier pre-release builds)' appendix entirely. Fix
  the @task(retry=...) kwarg name (was incorrectly retry_policy=...).

- docs/durable-task-guide.md: drastically expand multi-turn and
  steering coverage per the same feedback that steering was 'almost
  fully glossed over':
  * §4 'Suspend, resume, and multi-turn workflows' rewritten with the
    approval_flow example, persistence-boundary discussion, and an
    explicit pointer to Pattern C for end-to-end chat loops.
  * §4 'Steering' rewritten as a full subsection covering: what
    .start() does on an in-flight steerable task (queue + cancel +
    ack TaskRun + 'superseded' for displaced caller); what the handler
    must do (check ctx.cancel.is_set(), suspend with partial output);
    was_steered / pending_inputs / steering_generation semantics; the
    rapid-fire short-circuit drain shape; how multi-turn + steering
    compose orthogonally.
  * §4 'Results and runs' updated: TaskResult.status is now correctly
    documented as the THREE-value Literal['completed', 'suspended',
    'superseded'], distinct from the four-state TaskStatus literal.
    Documents is_completed / is_suspended / is_superseded properties
    and suspension_reason. §5 reference table for TaskResult / TaskRun /
    TaskStatus rewritten to spell out the same distinction and to
    document TaskRun's full surface (status, metadata, cancel,
    terminate, lease_expiry_count, async-for streaming).
  * Pattern C upgraded from a 6-line snippet into a full multi-turn
    chat pattern with metadata-based history, an explicit caller-side
    snippet showing turn 1 + turn 2 on the same task_id, and a
    bulletted explanation of why it works.
  * NEW Pattern F 'Steerable chat: preempting in-flight turns' showing
    the canonical ctx.cancel.is_set() short-circuit shape, the
    fast-suspend on was_steered+pending_inputs, and the caller-side
    is_superseded observation. Pairs with the new §4 steering text.

Confirms via tests/durable/test_dev_guide_review.py (7/7 pass) and full
tests/durable/ suite (289/289 pass).

* [agentserver] docs: correct TaskResult(status='superseded') output semantics

The previous wording 'TaskResult(status="superseded", output=None)'
overstated the contract. Per _manager.py:1465-1469 the displaced
generation's result_future is resolved with
'TaskResult(output=partial_output, status="superseded")' where
partial_output is:

- None when the displaced handler ended via ctx.suspend() (called
  from line 1158, no partial_output=... passed — the cooperative
  cancel path).
- The handler's return value when the handler completed normally
  before steering drained (called from lines 1212/1242 with
  partial_output=result — the rare 'returned just as steering
  arrived' path).

Updates the three doc sites that asserted output=None unconditionally:
the §4 'Steering' subsection, the §4 'Results and runs' bullet, and
the Pattern F caller-side snippet. is_superseded remains the correct
property to branch on.

* [agentserver] docs: clarify cooperative-cancellation handler strategies for steering

ctx.cancel is advisory — the handler decides what to do about it. The
previous wording implied steering forces an interrupt; that's wrong.
The handler picks one of three legitimate strategies:

- A: yield immediately on ctx.cancel.is_set() (lowest latency to the
  new turn; throws away in-flight partial work)
- B: wind down to a safe checkpoint, then suspend (one-checkpoint
  latency cost; keeps invariants clean for work with side effects)
- C: ignore cancel and run to completion (the queued input runs
  second, sequentially; required when the current input must be
  atomic — financial transaction, multi-step tool sequence)

Per the actual code at _manager.py:1155-1223, the displaced caller's
TaskResult.output depends on which strategy the handler chose:

- Strategies A and B both call ctx.suspend(...) → _try_drain_steering
  is called WITHOUT partial_output= → defaults to None → the suspend
  envelope's output=X is silently dropped on the floor when there's a
  queued steering input to drain instead.
- Strategy C calls return value → _try_drain_steering is called with
  partial_output=result → the displaced caller receives the full
  return value with status='superseded'.

Adds a new '#### Cooperative cancellation: the handler is in charge'
subsection between '#### What .start() does' and the worked example,
with a strategy table. Renames the example subsection to '#### Example:
cooperative suspend (strategy A)'. Updates the §4 Results-and-runs
bullet for status='superseded' to spell out the same A/B vs C split.
Updates the Pattern F caller-side comment to flag that r1.output=None
is a consequence of the handler's strategy choice, not an inherent
property of supersede.

* [agentserver] spec 016: expand scope to also fix steering surface

Steering is plain multi-turn with a queueing mechanism on top. The
framework cannot observe whether a handler honored ctx.cancel — all
three handler strategies (yield immediately / wind-down-then-suspend
/ ignore) look identical at the framework boundary. A 'superseded'
status pretends the framework knows something it doesn't, and
dropping handler-emitted output on the floor (current behavior in
the suspend+queued case) leaks an implementation race into the
public surface.

Add to spec 016 (still on feature/agentserver-durable-tasks, no new
branch):

- Context: 'Scope expansion: steering is plain multi-turn' subsection
  explaining the model alignment.
- User Story 7 (P1): steering surface collapse, with 6 acceptance
  scenarios sweeping handler-end × steerer-timing.
- Edge Cases: handler-terminates-with-queued-input (cleanup in one
  store write, all queued steerers get TaskConflictError);
  suspend-persist-fails-with-queue; multiple-steerers FIFO.
- FR-020: remove 'superseded' from TaskResult.status Literal +
  remove is_superseded property.
- FR-021: suspend path delivers handler output unconditionally; drain
  runs strictly AFTER suspend resolution.
- FR-022: return/raise paths are terminal; queued inputs become
  unservicable and resolve as TaskConflictError with the appropriate
  current_status. Same store write persists the terminal transition
  and clears pending_inputs.
- FR-023: delete _pending_steering_futures; the steerer's future is
  the next generation's result future (no parallel queue).
- FR-024: _try_drain_steering is re-entry only; no partial_output
  parameter; never resolves caller-visible futures.
- SC-010 / SC-011: surface-search outcomes and a parametrized
  multi-turn-vs-steering equivalence sweep.
- Principle XII checklist updated with the 5 new affected symbols.
- 'What goes where' table updated for the steering rewrite + the
  TaskConflictError note.

No code changes in this commit. Implementation lands after the spec
is approved.

* [agentserver] spec 016: add task API azure.core pipeline migration

Third scope expansion in spec 016. HostedTaskProvider currently uses
raw httpx.AsyncClient with no policy stack — no retry, no logging,
no distributed tracing, no request-id, no shared bearer-token
policy, no user-agent. The sibling FoundryStorageProvider already
runs on azure.core.AsyncPipelineClient and carries the
gzip-corruption lesson (ContentDecodePolicy excluded). Bring the
task client onto the same transport and inherit the same lesson.

Also: this migration is a *prerequisite* for FR-013 / FR-014 /
FR-016 / FR-017 (the eviction classifier and local-cleanup
sequence) — there's no clean seam in raw httpx for that work, and
implementing it without the pipeline would require re-inventing
azure.core's policy machinery.

Additions to spec 016:

- Context: 'Scope expansion: task API transport on azure.core
  pipeline' subsection. Calls out (a) policy chain rationale,
  (b) NO ContentDecodePolicy (gzip lesson), (c) replacement of
  raise_for_status with _classify_store_write_error funnel,
  (d) httpx dependency removal.
- User Story 8 (P2): 7 acceptance scenarios — policy chain
  composition, 503 retry behavior, 409 no-retry, gzip round-trip,
  non-JSON body classified error, distributed-tracing presence,
  httpx import removal.
- Edge cases: AsyncRetryPolicy 409 override (never retry on 409
  regardless of body); bearer-token refresh on 401 during retry;
  test-fixture migration from httpx to azure.core transport fakes.
- FR-025: AsyncPipelineClient replaces httpx.AsyncClient; per-request
  _get_headers removed in favor of AsyncBearerTokenCredentialPolicy.
- FR-026: explicit policy chain composition (RequestId, Headers,
  UserAgent, AsyncRetry with allow-list, AsyncBearerToken, task-API
  logging, DistributedTracing) — ContentDecodePolicy excluded.
- FR-027: task-API logging policy modeled on FoundryStorageLoggingPolicy
  with explicit header allow-list; no Authorization or body logs
  above DEBUG.
- FR-028: every call site funnels through _classify_store_write_error
  (FR-013); 404 → None / TaskNotFound branches preserved via
  permanent+404 mapping; non-JSON 409 classified as 'conflict' not
  'evicted' (binding_mismatch requires parseable body).
- FR-029: call-site body parsing wraps UnicodeDecodeError,
  JSONDecodeError, DecodeError — carry-forward of responses-storage
  gzip-fix invariant.
- FR-030: httpx import removal verification + pyproject.toml dep
  removal once nothing else imports it (test-only dev-dep OK).
- SC-012: surface-search assertions for import removal and policy
  chain presence.
- SC-013: behavioral assertions on fake transport — retry on 503,
  no-retry on 409, headers populated, gzip round-trip, non-JSON
  body classified error.
- 'What goes where' table: 2 new internal-only rows (pipeline =
  internal; ContentDecodePolicy ban = inline comment + spec).
- Principle XII checklist: HostedTaskProvider.__init__ credential
  re-typed to AsyncTokenCredential; bodies rewritten but public
  method signatures unchanged.

* [agentserver] spec 016: codify metadata auto-flush invariant across all turn boundaries

Doc claim verification: the developer guide promises 'writes you
forget to explicitly flush are still durable across a graceful
boundary' (durable-task-guide.md §4) and 'lifecycle-boundary
snapshots (framework-side)' (§5). Verified against _manager.py:

  Boundary                            Code site          Status
  ----------------------------------  ----------------   ------
  Normal suspend                      :1179              OK
  Normal completion                   :1227              OK
  Cooperative cancel / terminate      :1268              OK
  Unhandled exception (exhausted)     :1333              OK
  Suspend WITH queued steering input  :1156-1175         GAP
  Return WITH queued steering input   :1197-1223         GAP

The two steering-drain shortcuts 'continue' out of the loop without
running flush_all() AND without persisting the suspend/terminal
record. _try_drain_steering preserves the metadata buffer by sharing
the ctx.metadata reference into the new generation's context
(:1492), but if the process crashes between the drain and the next
generation's eventual terminal boundary, every unflushed write from
the displaced turn is lost (the persisted record is still the pre-
turn snapshot from the prior boundary).

This aligns naturally with FR-021 / FR-022 (steering-as-multi-turn
rewrite): the rewrite already requires the suspend / complete path
to resolve the current turn's future FIRST, before the drain may
re-enter. Tightening the same FRs to also require flush_all() at
that boundary closes the gap as a side effect.

Spec 016 edits:

- Context: scope-expansion #2 paragraph notes the verified flush gap
  with explicit line-number citations.
- FR-021: now mandates a precise 3-step ordering at the suspend
  boundary — (1) flush_all, (2) persist suspend record, (3) resolve
  result_future — with explicit pointer to _manager.py:1179 as the
  reference path that already works correctly. Calls out
  :1156-1175 as the path that MUST be replaced.
- FR-022: now mandates a precise 4-step ordering at the
  completion/raise boundary, with the same flush_all-first
  invariant and explicit pointer to _manager.py:1227. Calls out
  :1197-1223 as the path that MUST be replaced.
- FR-024: clarifies that _try_drain_steering MUST NOT touch
  ctx.metadata in any way — flush ownership belongs strictly to
  the FR-021/FR-022 boundary; the new generation reads metadata
  from the just-persisted record.
- FR-024a (NEW): codifies the metadata auto-flush invariant as
  load-bearing, lists all six boundaries that must satisfy it
  (4 already correct + 2 to be added by FR-021/FR-022), and ties
  the doc-guide claim to a testable assertion.
- SC-014 (NEW): parametrized 8-cell crash-and-reload sweep that
  asserts the marker written without explicit flush survives every
  boundary. Current code passes 4/8; after the rework lands all 8
  must pass.
- 'What goes where' table: steering row updated to call out the
  FR-024a flush invariant alongside the multi-turn framing.
- Principle XII checklist: explicitly mentions the lifecycle-flush
  invariant extension and the silent-metadata-loss behavior shift.

* [agentserver] spec 016: cancel signal carries reason; per-turn timeout budget

Three coupled fixes added to spec 016 (no code changes):

1. ctx.cancel becomes a CancelSignal (small public wrapper) with a
   .reason Literal['timeout', 'steering'] | None. Existing handler
   patterns (is_set(), wait()) keep working — purely additive surface.
   First-reason-wins on multiple .set() calls.

2. The timeout watchdog is respawned per LOGICAL TURN. Today it's
   spawned in _execute_task outside the steering-drain loop, so a
   steerable @task(timeout=timedelta(seconds=30)) whose first
   generation runs 25s before suspending and triggering a drain has
   only 5s left before the watchdog fires on generation 2. Per the
   'steering is plain multi-turn' framing (FR-020..FR-024a), each
   drain-driven generation IS a new turn and should get a fresh
   budget. Retries within the same generation continue to share
   the watchdog (intentional — retries don't get extra time).

3. The _timeout_watchdog docstring at _manager.py:1018-1021 claims
   the lease will eventually expire if the handler ignores cancel.
   That claim is false — renewal is driven by a separate event the
   watchdog does not touch. Per user direction we keep the watchdog
   cooperative-only and fix the docstring instead of changing
   behavior. If the handler ignores cancel, the task runs until
   process death or explicit terminate().

Additions to spec 016:

- Context: 'Scope expansion: cancel-signal carries a reason;
  per-turn timeout budget' subsection explaining all three concerns
  with line-number citations.
- US9 (P2) with 7 acceptance scenarios covering reason visibility
  under steering, reason visibility under timeout, fresh budget on
  fresh-turn re-entry, fresh budget on drain re-entry, accurate
  watchdog docstring, first-reason-wins, backward-compat.
- 4 new edge cases: watchdog respawn race (cancel previous before
  spawn); respawn-vs-retry distinction; ctx.cancel.set() ownership
  (framework-only, not handler); event-loop-shutdown cleanup.
- FR-031: CancelSignal class definition, backward-compat API,
  first-reason-wins semantics.
- FR-032: per-turn watchdog respawn — fresh handler invocation OR
  drain re-entry, NOT retry iteration; at most one live watchdog
  at a time; cleanup in finally block.
- FR-033: set reason at the source — _timeout_watchdog passes
  reason='timeout'; _try_drain_steering constructs the new ctx's
  CancelSignal already set with reason='steering' when
  cancel_requested.
- FR-034: rewrite the misleading _timeout_watchdog docstring;
  log-level stays INFO (timeout is a developer-handler concern,
  not a framework alarm); dev guide updated to match.
- SC-015: per-turn timeout budget test (regression guard for the
  shared-budget bug).
- SC-016: cancel reason visibility test (timeout / steering /
  timeout-races-steering deterministic).
- 'What goes where' table: 3 new rows for CancelSignal + per-turn
  budget + cooperative-only watchdog.
- Key Entities: CancelSignal added.
- Principle XII checklist: CancelSignal added to __all__;
  TaskContext.cancel type change documented; HostedTaskProvider
  credential re-typing already documented from Iter 10.

* [agentserver] spec 016: durable wall-clock per-turn timeout; recovery preserves budget

User direction: timeout should be per-turn, wall-clock, durable
across crashes within the turn. Recovery does NOT reset the budget.
New turns (fresh .run/.start, resume after suspend, drain re-entry)
DO get a fresh budget.

Today's behavior is per-invocation, in-process asyncio.sleep, with
no durable anchor: a process that crashes 25s into a 30s budget
recovers with a clean 30s. The store has created_at / updated_at /
started_at fields but the watchdog never consults any of them.

Refinements to spec 016 (no code changes):

- Context: scope-expansion #3 paragraph adds a third bullet
  explicitly calling out the non-durability gap, then states the
  desired semantic: per-turn, wall-clock, durable across crashes
  within the turn. Recovery formula spelled out as
  remaining = max(0, opts.timeout - (now - _turn_started_at)).
- US9: 3 new acceptance scenarios for the durable-recovery case
  (scenarios 8-10): mid-turn crash within budget (recovered with
  small remaining), mid-turn crash past budget (immediate cancel),
  suspended-idle-time-between-turns does not count.
- 3 new edge cases: recovery-between-turns is a new turn (re-stamp);
  legacy records without _turn_started_at fall back to full budget +
  DEBUG log; clock-skew bounds via clamping.
- FR-032 (revised): per-turn watchdog respawn now uses the durable
  remaining-budget formula with explicit case analysis for fresh /
  resume / drain / recovery / retry paths. Crash-recovery sub-case
  added with the 'fire immediately if remaining == 0' rule.
- FR-033 (revised): zero-budget crash-recovery case must pre-set the
  CancelSignal with reason='timeout' so the recovered handler sees
  the reason from the first checkpoint.
- FR-034: docstring replacement now mentions the corrected timeout
  contract ('per-turn, wall-clock, durable across crashes within
  the turn') so dev guide and source align.
- FR-035 (NEW): the durable _turn_started_at payload field — set
  sites (create_and_start, _start_existing_task on suspended->in_progress
  transition, _try_drain_steering's CAS write), explicit MUST NOT
  re-stamp on recovery, read site in watchdog spawn, clock-skew
  clamping to [0, opts.timeout], rollout fallback for legacy records.
- SC-015 (revised): 4 parametrized scenarios — fresh-turn, drain-
  re-entry, mid-turn-recovery-within-budget, mid-turn-recovery-past-
  budget. Test reads payload['_turn_started_at'] directly for
  assertions.
- SC-017 (NEW): clock-skew bounds — backwards and forwards skew
  both clamped.
- 'What goes where' table: per-turn-budget row rewritten with the
  durable-wall-clock semantic.
- Key Entities: _turn_started_at added.
- Principle XII checklist: enumerates all five new symbols and
  spells out the sharpened public contract of @task(timeout=...).

* [agentserver] spec 016: refresh Docs Loop section for full scope

The Authoritative-guides, Authoring-sequence, and Loop-completion-
criterion subsections were written when spec 016 covered only the
stale_timeout removal. They now reflect all 6 scope expansions:

- Authoritative guides: enumerates every public-surface contract
  that durable-task-guide.md must accurately reflect — recovery,
  TaskConflictError semantics, TaskResult.status narrowing, steering-
  as-plain-multi-turn, CancelSignal.reason, per-turn-durable-timeout,
  metadata-flush-invariant. Adds CHANGELOG.md, test_dev_guide_review.py,
  and the five source-docstring sites as additional authoritative
  surfaces.
- Authoring sequence: 5-step ordered authoring (guide → meta-test
  invariants → CHANGELOG → source docstrings → tests + code) with
  explicit per-guide-section edit list. Names the new invariants the
  meta-test must gain (zero matches for stale_timeout, superseded,
  is_superseded, _pending_steering_futures, 'lease will eventually
  expire'; presence of CancelSignal in §4 + §5; presence of 'per-turn'
  / 'wall-clock' / 'durable' in timeout description).
- Loop completion criterion: 7 concrete checks — six developer-FAQ
  questions the guide must answer correctly + the meta-test +
  package-surface grep for absent symbols + presence of new public
  symbols + CHANGELOG shape + tests free of removed symbol references
  + source-docstring vs guide agreement.

No FR changes; no SC changes; no code changes. This is purely
sharpening the doc-loop checkpoints so the implementation PR has a
concrete done-criterion for documentation.

* [agentserver] spec 016: close 4 constitutional review gaps

Constitutional review surfaced 4 gaps; all 4 closed in this commit.
No FR changes; no SC changes; no code changes — this is cross-doc
commitment work that the spec was deferring with TBD language.

Gap 1 (Principle IX — Samples Loop): the spec named the dev guide
and meta-test but never enumerated which samples are touched by the
contract changes. Added 'Samples affected' subsection enumerating
each surface change × each affected sample with required actions:
- FR-020 (no superseded): zero framework-level usage in samples;
  the 'superseded' string in durable_copilot/durable_langgraph/
  durable_research is an APPLICATION-level invocation_store status
  string, not the framework's TaskResult.status Literal. Verified
  via 'grep -rn TaskResult\|is_superseded\|.status ==' samples/.
  No required change; dev guide must still state the Literal is
  'completed' | 'suspended' only.
- FR-001 (no stale_timeout): zero matches in samples. No change.
- FR-031 (CancelSignal.reason): backward-compat. Recommended (not
  required) one worked example in durable_copilot.
- FR-024a (metadata-flush invariant): samples currently use
  explicit flush(); continues to work; auto-flush is additional
  guarantee not a replacement. No change.
- FR-032..FR-035 (per-turn durable timeout): zero samples set
  timeout=. Recommended one worked example.
- Transport migration (FR-025..FR-030): internal-only.
- FR-022 (TaskConflictError shape): recommended README updates in
  durable_copilot and durable_langgraph.
Loop completion criterion added: durability-sample-checklist runs
against any modified sample; deferrals recorded in tasks.md.

Gap 2 (Principle X — Contract change decision): the existing
checklist said 'Decision needed: add a Recovery subsection?
Recommend YES.' Locked in YES. The amendment is a CROSS-CUTTING
NOTE (not a new matrix row) covering binding_mismatch protocol and
the lease-state × steerable callsite outcome table. Lands in the
same PR per durability-contract.md § Change control.

Gap 3 (Principle X + XI — FR-024a boundary): FR-024a is a
durability claim but SC-014 lives in tests/durable/, not in
tests/e2e/durability_contract/. Added explicit justification: the
contract matrix is the response-stream surface; FR-024a's concern is
the core-primitive metadata namespace, one layer below. Therefore
FR-024a is in Principle XII scope (core-primitive), NOT Principle X
scope (response-stream durability matrix). The matrix does NOT need
a new row; the dev guide's 'What the framework persists at lifecycle
boundaries' table is the relevant doc surface. SC-014's home in
tests/durable/ is correct.

Gap 4 (Principle XII §5 — test-only hooks tension): FR-018
(_force_reclaim_orphans) and FR-019 (_PERIODIC_RECLAIM_INTERVAL_SECONDS
monkeypatch) appear to be _-prefixed APIs that the principle forbids
'to bypass public-surface contract enforcement'. Added per-FR
reconciliation paragraphs: these hooks make TIMING deterministic for
tests of contract BEHAVIOR; they do not bypass any contract. Tests
using them MUST assert on public-surface contract outcomes (caller-
visible TaskRun, ctx.entry_mode, store record state), never on
internal ReclaimOutcome variants returned by _reclaim_one.

Final scorecard after this commit: all 12 principles verified
compliant. Spec is ready for /speckit.plan.

* [agentserver] spec 016: start cancel-surface proposal doc for iteration

User flagged on reflection that FR-031 (CancelSignal with .reason) may
duplicate signals already on TaskContext (ctx.shutdown,
ctx.pending_inputs, ctx.was_steered). Pausing FR-031 in spec 016 until
we iterate on a separate proposal that:

- Audits every public TaskContext field and what it signals today.
- Enumerates all 12 cancellation/cancel-adjacent scenarios a handler
  can face (steady state, steering pressure, timeout, shutdown,
  terminate, crash-recovery, multi-turn resume, steering re-entry,
  multiple-queued, hybrid steering+timeout, shutdown+steering,
  shutdown+t…

* fix(agentserver): remove output-persistence dead code (SOT §11/§20 drift)

The SOT spec §11 / §20 / §23 / C-OUT specify the framework does NOT
persist handler outputs:
  - NO payload["output"] key is ever written
  - NO _output attachment is ever written
  - Handler return value is delivered in-process via TaskRun.result()

The implementation still carried legacy output-write paths from the
pre-021 design where the framework persisted outputs. Cleaned up:

  - DELETED: _legacy_output_terminal_patch helper (50 lines)
  - DELETED: resume PATCH output co-clear (payload[output]=None + _OUTPUT_KEY:None)
  - DELETED: drain Phase 1 output co-clear
  - DELETED: _handle_success non-ephemeral else-branch (was unreachable —
    @task is always ephemeral, @multi_turn_task routes to _handle_multi_turn_success)
  - DELETED: _handle_failure non-ephemeral else-branch (same — unreachable)
  - DELETED: _handle_suspend output-attachment write
  - DELETED: unused _OUTPUT_KEY import

Net: 223 deletions / 37 insertions. No new test regressions
(same 42 RED pre-existing baseline; all exercise removed-by-spec behaviors).

* fix(agentserver): resolve all SOT-vs-impl drift items (D-1 .. D-4)

Address every drift item surfaced by the SOT drift audit
against `docs/task-and-streaming-spec.md`:

D-1 [BLOCKING] — Multi-turn return/raise PATCH atomicity (§23.8 #3)
  `_handle_multi_turn_success` and `_handle_multi_turn_failure`
  did not clear `_steering.active_input` and did not delete the
  promoted `_input` attachment in the same PATCH that cleared
  `payload.input`. Splitting these opens a crash window where
  the attachment outlives its ref (or vice versa). Refactored both
  handlers to mirror `_handle_suspend`: GET current TaskInfo,
  build steering patch, inspect input slot for ref shape, single
  atomic PATCH carrying `payload` + `attachments`.

  Also added the FR-053-step-5→step-6 yield (`await asyncio.sleep(0)`)
  between resolving `current_result_future` and promoting the queued
  steerer, so awaiters of the failing turn observe `TaskFailed`
  before the next handler dispatches.

D-2 [HIGH] — `ctx.exit_for_recovery()` lease release race (§22)
  The release PATCH (`lease_duration_seconds=0`) could lose its
  CAS race against the in-flight lease-renewal loop and was being
  silently swallowed as a WARNING, leaving the lease live until
  natural expiry. Added bounded re-read + retry (5 attempts) so
  the release actually lands. Also fixed empty-string `lease_owner`
  / `lease_instance_id` (the validator requires all-or-nothing
  triplet; empty strings disabled lease handling).

D-3 [MEDIUM] — `durable.__all__` exported non-public retry helpers
  `exponential_backoff` / `fixed_delay` / `linear_backoff` /
  `no_retry` were exported as top-level module functions; spec
  §32/§38 only documents them as `@classmethod` on `RetryPolicy`.
  Removed from `__all__` and from the top-level re-export.

D-4 [LOW] — `_handle_suspend` missing `_retry_attempt: null` (§23.8 #3)
  Added the `_retry_attempt: None` clear to the suspend PATCH so the
  next turn always starts with a fresh retry budget, matching the
  multi-turn paths.

Spec-side cleanup (impl is correct; SOT carried stale legacy text):
  - §53 suspend-write pseudocode: rewritten to omit output persistence
    (was still describing the pre-021 `_output` attachment write)
  - C-ATT-3: corrected to state outputs are not persisted at all
  - §B simpler-scenarios bullets: removed references to
    `payload.output` / `attachments._output`

Tests: 725 passing (up from 620), 36 failing (down from 42).
The 6 newly-passing tests are exactly the spec-required behavior
the audit identified as drift (input promotion + multi-turn raise
ordering + exit_for_recovery lease release + public surface).
The remaining 36 failures all exercise removed-by-spec behaviors
(legacy `@task(ephemeral=...)` kwarg, `MultiTurnTask._get/_list`
private surface, `get_active_run(task_id)` 1-arg signature, etc.).
Streaming: 99/99 passing (unchanged).

* agentserver: finalize feature branch — scrub internal-spec refs, version bump, stale-test cleanup, format

Branch finalization sweep for the agentserver durable-task + streaming
primitive work. All packages now build, lint, and test cleanly off the
authoritative spec at
`azure-ai-agentserver-core/docs/task-and-streaming-spec.md` — the
only shipping reference for the new primitives. The internal numbered
specs under `sdk/agentserver/specs/` (specs 001..022) are now
gitignored local-only working documents and untracked.

Scope:

- **Stop tracking internal speckit specs** — six `sdk/agentserver/specs/`
  files are removed from the index per the existing
  `sdk/agentserver/.gitignore` rule; the SOT spec at
  `docs/task-and-streaming-spec.md` is now the canonical reference.

- **Scrub internal-spec references** — every committed file under
  `sdk/agentserver/` no longer references internal spec ids
  (`Spec NNN`), functional-requirement ids (`FR-XXX`),
  user-story ids (`USn`), or internal gap-lists. Where the prose
  had a stable section pointer it was rewritten to reference the SOT
  by section number (e.g. `§11`); otherwise the reference was
  stripped and the substantive content preserved. Touches ~90 files
  (production code, tests, samples, developer guides, CHANGELOG).

- **Version bumps**:
  - `azure-ai-agentserver-core` 2.0.0b6 → **2.0.0b7** (unreleased)
  - `azure-ai-agentserver-invocations` 1.0.0b5 → **1.0.0b6** (unreleased)
    + min-dep pin `azure-ai-agentserver-core>=2.0.0b7`.

- **Rewrote the core 2.0.0b7 CHANGELOG entry** as a coherent
  developer-facing release note. Removed the internal cross-branch
  hand-off prose and the contradictory "added then removed" Task.get
  / TaskSnapshot bullets; the durable-task primitive ships as one
  coherent new feature with no migration story (nothing public was
  shipped previously).

- **`@task` strictly rejects `ephemeral=` and `steerable=`** at
  decoration time (`TypeError`). One-shot is always ephemeral and
  never steerable; use `@multi_turn_task` for steerable chains.

- **`RetryPolicy(retry_on=...)` validates non-tuple non-Exception
  arguments** (e.g. `retry_on=str`) with the canonical
  `"retry_on entries must be Exception subclasses"` message
  instead of leaking the underlying `TypeError: 'type' object is
  not iterable`.

- **Stale tests removed or skip-marked** with explicit reason
  (file/method-level). All gone:
  - `test_get.py` — `Task.get()` / `TaskSnapshot` removed
  - `test_output_promotion.py` and `test_output_lifecycle.py` —
    output is no longer persisted (no `payload[output]`, no
    `_output` attachment)
  - 5 stale tests in `test_sample_e2e.py` (used removed
    `_list` / `_get` private surface or pre-redesign multi-turn
    completion semantics)
  - 3 stale tests in `test_retry.py` (used `@task(ephemeral=False)`)
  - `test_completed_with_ephemeral_false_retains_input`
  - `test_one_shot_input_cleared_at_terminal`
  - `test_steering_function_ignores_cancel_completes`
  - `test_queued_promotion_uses_cleared_input_slot`
  - One stale fixture in `test_decorator.py` updated.
  - `test_TaskExhaustedRetriesErrorDict_field_shape`: missing
    tuple-literal comma fixed.
  4 cancellation-matrix tests are `@pytest.mark.skip(...)`-marked
  with a TODO pointing at the multi-turn steerable cancel / drain
  paths needing re-validation post-redesign (track as separate
  impl follow-up).

- **Stale tests refreshed to current API**:
  - `test_durable_multiturn.py` (invocations e2e): raw output
    instead of `result.output`, `manager.provider.get(task_id)`
    instead of `_get(task_id)`
  - `test_lifecycle.py` orphan tests: `@task` instead of
    `@multi_turn_task` (one-shot `get_active_run` is 1-arg)
  - `test_cancellation_matrix.test_crash_recovery_re_invokes_with_persisted_input`:
    explicit `input_id="persisted"` so the new multi-turn 2-arg
    `get_active_run` matches
  - `test_etag_cas.test_terminal_412_lease_ours_retries`: asserts
    `suspended` (multi-turn return-X is implicit suspend), not
    `completed`

- **Format pass** — `azpysdk black` across all four packages,
  including samples and docs. ~150 files reformatted to the
  repo-canonical `eng/black-pyproject.toml` profile.

- **Net check-deltas vs origin/main baseline**:
  - tests: 762 passing in core, 213 in invocations (all PASS)
  - mypy: −3 errors (11 → 8 in core; rest pre-existing)
  - pylint: +2 issues (190 → 192 in core; rest pre-existing)
  - sphinx: no regression (same 2-warning baseline as main)
  - black: full pass (post-format)

- **Merge from origin/main** (102 commits behind at start, including
  `azure-ai-agentserver-core 2.0.0b6` and
  `azure-ai-agentserver-invocations 1.0.0b5` releases). Conflicts
  in `CHANGELOG.md` x2 and `test_tracing.py` resolved.

* agentserver: spec 022 final — zero skips, zero legacy, all tests green

Closes the spec-022 durable-task primitive redesign on this branch.
No skipped tests, no stale tests, no legacy code paths remain. All
4 agentserver packages pass cleanly with zero failures.

Impl gaps closed (was the 5 skipped tests blocking finalization):

- Recovery-input precedence (SOT §16). On entry_mode == "recovered",
  the framework now ignores any new caller-provided input and replays
  the original turn from the persisted payload["input"]. The caller's
  input would be a semantic error on a recovered turn — we're picking
  up where the previous lifetime left off, not starting a new turn.

- Multi-turn cancel transitions chain to "suspended" (SOT §11/§16).
  Previously the asyncio.CancelledError handler in _execute_task_loop
  only resolved the caller's future with TaskCancelled and left the
  record stuck in "in_progress" — the next .start / .run would
  (incorrectly) treat the chain as a dead-lease orphan and replay
  the cancelled input. Now _handle_multi_turn_failure is invoked on
  cancel; the chain transitions cleanly to "suspended" with input +
  _retry_attempt + _steering.active_input + any promoted _input
  attachment cleared atomically (§23.8 single-PATCH invariant).
  Queued steerers promote per FR-013 when steerable.

- Per-turn watchdog rearm on steering drain (SOT §52). Added
  TaskManager._timeout_watchdogs registry + _spawn_watchdog_for_turn
  / _cancel_watchdog_for_turn helpers. Every drain re-entry point (4
  sites in _execute_task_loop) cancels the prior turn's watchdog and
  spawns a fresh one bound to the new ctx.cancel, with a budget
  computed from the just-updated _turn_started_at. The queued turn
  now gets its full per-turn budget, not whatever was left over.

- Queued-steerer cancel removes from queue. TaskRun.cancel() on a
  handle bound to a queued (not-yet-promoted) steering input now
  routes through a new TaskManager._cancel_queued_steering_input
  that atomically removes the queued slot from
  payload["_steering"]["pending_inputs"] (and deletes the associated
  _steering_input_<seq> attachment when present), then resolves the
  queued steerer's future with TaskCancelled. The active turn is
  unaffected. The handle is wired via a new queued_cancel_callback
  slot on TaskRun.

- Delete-vs-promotion CAS race test setup stabilised: added an
  active_entered event so the test reliably observes the active
  turn entering before delete fires (the race itself was always
  handled correctly by the existing MultiTurnTask.delete /
  _resolve_queued_steerers_on_terminal machinery — the test was
  just under-synchronized).

Legacy code removed:

- _in_progress_was_abandoned_legacy helper +
  _LEGACY_INPROCESS_STALE_THRESHOLD_SECONDS constant in
  _decorator.py (replaced years ago by the lease-based reclaim
  path; only docstring references remained).
- _legacy_task wrapper indirection in _decorator.py — validation
  overlay collapsed into the single canonical task definition.
- TaskContext._suspend_internal scaffolding (never called from
  framework code post-redesign; bare return X is the only
  end-of-turn signal).
- TaskManager._handle_suspend dead path (the Suspended-sentinel
  branch in _execute_task_loop was unreachable; multi-turn
  return-X / raise are the only end-of-turn paths and route
  through _handle_multi_turn_success / _handle_multi_turn_failure).
- Suspended class in _run.py (and its import from _manager.py +
  comment in __init__.py).

Stale tests removed (no longer track removed-by-spec behavior):

- TestTaskOptionsMerge class (4 + 1 tests) in test_decorator.py
- test_task_options_rejects_stale_timeout
- test_underscore_namespace_not_enforced_by_primitive
- test_default_namespace_has_no_framework_keys
- test_task_get_list_renamed_to_private
- test_task_cancelled (bare TaskCancelled exception shape)
- test_steering_queue_9_cap / test_steering_queue_full_exception
- test_resolve_raises_inputtoolarge_when_over_cap
- test_input_too_large_remap_from_internal_input_key
- test_task_run_delete_translates_hosted_conflict
- test_platform_resume_entry_mode (handle_resume removed)
- test_recovery_with_pending_inputs (legacy superseded-result)
- test_steerable_via_options (Task.options removed)
- test_multiturn_suspend_resume (ctx.stream removed)
- test_langgraph_multiturn_interrupt_resume (handle_resume removed)
- TestSSEStreamingE2E class (3 tests; migrated to streams registry)

Test-suite scrubs of dead contract registry entries in
test_contract_completeness.py for the deleted tests.

Test sweep (post all changes):
  - core durable + streaming + tracing: 763 passed / 0 skipped / 0 failed
  - core other: 99 passed / 5 env-conditional skipped
  - invocations: 213 passed / 8 env-conditional skipped
  - responses: 1008 passed
All env-conditional skips are live integration tests requiring
APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING / FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT
/ optional github-copilot-sdk — standard pytest pattern.

Wheels rebuilt to incorporate all impl changes:
  - azure_ai_agentserver_core-2.0.0b7-py3-none-any.whl
  - azure_ai_agentserver_invocations-1.0.0b6-py3-none-any.whl

* [agentserver] responses: add authoritative durability SOT spec

Adds responses-durability-spec.md — the language-agnostic, normative
source-of-truth specification for the responses durability layer.
Mirrors the shape of azure-ai-agentserver-core/docs/task-and-streaming-spec.md
(numbered sections, conformance items, worked examples) and is intended
as the reference any language porting this contract works from.

Covers:
- §3 dispatch matrix (4 rows × Paths A/B/C × stream/no-stream)
- §4 chain identity derivation + task_id partitioning
- §5 _responses reserved namespace (response_id, background, disposition, last_sequence_number)
- §6 perpetual conversation-scoped task model (Row 1 vs bookkeeping for Rows 2/3)
- §7 recovery dispatch (re-invoke vs mark-failed; server_error payload shape)
- §8 DurabilityContext + three-actor recovery contract + naive opt-out
- §9 stream contract: persistence ordering, starting_after=, reset-on-in_progress, idempotent create/terminal, output_index slot semantics
- §10 cancellation + cancellation x recovery composition
- §11 steering: lock semantics, fork rejection (409 conversation_fork_not_supported), acceptance hook, queue delivery
- §12 acceptance flow worked sequence
- §13 recovery flow worked sequences (Row 1 stream, Row 2 non-stream, Row 4 no-op)
- §14 conformance items (C-MATRIX, C-CHAIN, C-NS, C-PERPETUAL, C-DISPOSITION, C-SERVER-ERROR, C-DURABILITY-CTX, C-RECOVERY-MODEL, C-STREAM-ORDER, C-RECONNECT, C-RESET, C-IDEMPOTENT, C-INDEX-REUSE, C-CANCEL, C-CANCEL-RECOVERY, C-LOCK, C-FORK-REJECT, C-ACCEPT, C-STEER-DELIVERY, C-COMPOSE)
- §15 worked storage timeline (2-turn chain + crash + recovery + fork race)
- §16 storage layout (durable task / response / stream)
- §17 composition constraints
- §20 cross-references to durable-task-spec + dev guides

No code or test changes. No drift: every claim derived from the current
implementation on this branch (_durable_orchestrator.py, _orchestrator.py,
_task_id.py, _acceptance.py, _durability_context.py, _response_context.py,
store/_file.py, _endpoint_handler.py). No references to internal-only
speckit specs.

* [agentserver] responses: tidy developer guides to be standalone + drift-free

Audits and updates the two developer-facing guides so they:

- Reflect the current state of the world accurately (durability focus).
- Are framed as developer guides (why / how / when / what for) rather
  than retrospectives on internal work-in-progress.
- Do not leak references to internal local-only specs or work phases.

Changes:

handler-implementation-guide.md
- Replace the dead link to specs/durability-contract.md (does not
  exist) with a link to the in-package authoritative SOT spec
  responses-durability-spec.md.
- Reframe the Durability intro to point at the SOT for the full
  matrix + termination paths + conformance items, while this guide
  remains the developer how-to.
- Remove the 'Backward Compatibility' subsection that promoted
  is_shutdown_requested as a back-compat alias — nothing has shipped
  yet, so there is no predecessor to be compatible with. Developers
  use context.cancellation_reason; the redundant alternate is no
  longer documented.
- Refresh the ResponseContext class stub to list the properties
  developers actually use (conversation_chain_id, cancellation_reason,
  durability) with pointers to the relevant sections.
- Strip internal phase numbering from prose and code comments
  ('Phase 1 pre-entry cancel', 'Phase 3 cancellation', 'fresh entry's
  Phase 2') — replaced with plain behavioural prose.
- Stop documenting that the library reconstructs internal types
  (record, parsed, runtime-state registration); reframe as 'rebuilds
  your ResponseContext transparently' and call out the same
  response_id / request / conversation_chain_id / cancellation signal
  guarantees in developer-visible terms.
- Drop the 'conversation_chain_id follow-up in spec 013' reference
  — conversation_chain_id is shipped and documented; no follow-up
  framing.

durable-responses-developer-guide.md
- Replace both dead links to specs/durability-contract.md with the
  in-package SOT spec responses-durability-spec.md.
- Fix the previously-wrong Path A/B/C definitions in the Configuration
  Matrix prose (it claimed A=client cancel, B=graceful shutdown,
  C=SIGKILL crash, contradicting the implementation). Updated to the
  termination-path semantics actually delivered by the framework:
  A=handler completes within grace, B=grace exhausted (in-process
  marker), C=crash or Path-B failure (next-lifetime recovery).
- Remove '(added in this release)' framing around
  conversation_chain_id — it is just part of the API now, not a recent
  bump in an unreleased package.
- Reword the local-dev provider section to describe the providers
  matter-of-factly rather than as 'added in this release' / 'already
  existed'.
- Strip 'Phase 1 / Phase 2 / Phase 3 cancellation logic' from the Best
  Practices section, leaving the substantive guidance ('the same
  pre-entry / mid-stream / shutdown rules apply on recovered
  entries').
- Drop '(this work)' framing from the Layered Concerns section.

No code changes. All cross-references between the two guides and to
the SOT spec validated.

* [agentserver] responses: SOT spec — document the two valid handler execution models

A reader asked why Rows 2/3 use a separate bookkeeping task instead of
just running the handler inside the durable task body and using the
existing 'disposition' metadata key to decide recovery action. Answer:
both architectures satisfy the contract; the current Python
implementation chose the bookkeeping pattern for historical layering
reasons (the non-durable codepath predated the durability work, and
bookkeeping was the lowest-friction way to add crash-recovery markers
to Rows 2/3 without restructuring handler execution).

Updates to docs/responses-durability-spec.md:

- §6 intro: acknowledge that two architectures satisfy the perpetual-
  task contract for Rows 2/3 and point at §6.4 before reading §6.2.

- §6.2: add an opening blockquote noting this section describes Model
  A from §6.4 (the bookkeeping pattern, as used by the Python
  implementation); ports using Model B (unified task) can skip it.
  Remove the duplicated completion-event pre-registration paragraph
  — that lives in the new §6.5 now.

- §6.4 (new) — 'Implementation note: handler execution model':
  side-by-side comparison of Model A (bookkeeping pattern) and Model B
  (unified-task pattern). Documents the three differences (code shape,
  HTTP request coupling for Row 3, per-invocation overhead). States
  the Python implementation uses Model A for historical reasons; a
  port has free choice. Neutral framing — does not editorialise about
  which is better.

- §6.5 (new) — 'Bookkeeping pattern — completion-event pre-registration':
  the pre-registration rule (previously in §6.2) re-homed here.
  Normative for Model A ports; ports choosing Model B can skip it.

No code or behavioural change. The contract observable to handlers,
clients, and operators is identical between the two models — only the
internal handler-execution layering differs.

* [agentserver] responses: add RED conformance tests for spec 023 migration

Phase 1 (RED-first, NON-NEGOTIABLE per Principles VII / X §4 / XII §3).

12 new tests added across two existing test files (per Principle XII
§4 non-duplication — no new test files):

tests/unit/test_durable_orchestrator.py
- TestPrimitiveSelectionMatrix.test_pick_primitive_matrix (8 parametrized
  cases, one per row of the SOT §6.6 / spec-021 §7.3 matrix). Depth
  assertion per Principle XI: returned primitive must be the EXACT
  instance (`is` comparison) of one of the two registered task fns,
  not just 'a Task was returned'.
- TestOrchestratorConstructionValidation.test_orchestrator_registers_both_primitives_on_construction.
  Construction-time validation per Constitution Principle V (fail-fast).
- TestOrchestratorConstructionValidation.test_orchestrator_multi_turn_steerable_flag_propagated.

tests/unit/test_conversation_lock.py
- TestRow5SequentialTurnsExtendChain.test_conv_id_non_steerable_sequential_turns_extend_chain.
  Depth assertion per Principle XI: the orchestrator's `_pick_primitive`
  routes conv_id requests to the multi-turn primitive (NOT the one-shot),
  and turn 2 of the same chain succeeds (no TaskConflictError against a
  suspended chain).
- TestRow5SequentialTurnsExtendChain.test_conv_id_non_steerable_concurrent_overlap_still_returns_409.
  Regression guard: TaskConflictError MUST still surface with
  current_status='in_progress' for the legitimate concurrent-overlap case.

All 12 tests are RED at this commit:
$ pytest tests/unit/test_durable_orchestrator.py::TestPrimitiveSelectionMatrix \
         tests/unit/test_durable_orchestrator.py::TestOrchestratorConstructionValidation \
         tests/unit/test_conversation_lock.py::TestRow5SequentialTurnsExtendChain
12 failed in 0.99s

The Phase 2 implementation commit will turn them GREEN. Reviewer
verifies the RED-first ordering from this commit's git history.

Spec 023 Phase 1 steps 4-9.

* [agentserver] responses: per-request primitive dispatch (spec 023 Phase 2)

Phase 2 implementation — turns the Phase 1 RED tests GREEN.

Per the SOT §6.6 / spec-021 §7.3 matrix,
now registers two underlying durable-task primitives per deployment
and dispatches per request based on (conversation_id,
previous_response_id, steerable_conversations):

  | store | conv_id | prev_id | steerable | Primitive  |
  |-------|---------|---------|-----------|------------|
  | true  | absent  | absent  | (any)     | @task      |
  | true  | absent  | present | False     | @task      |
  | true  | absent  | present | True      | @multi_turn|
  | true  | present | (any)   | (any)     | @multi_turn|

CHANGES:

_durable_orchestrator.py
- _create_task_fn -> _create_task_fns; registers TWO primitives:
  _one_shot_task_fn (@task name='responses_durable_one_shot') and
  _multi_turn_task_fn (@multi_turn_task name='responses_durable_multi_turn',
  steerable=options.steerable_conversations).
- task_fn property kept as a back-compat alias for _one_shot_task_fn so
  existing recovery-registration introspection still works (Principle
  XII §4 non-duplication / Principle XIII pre-existing test preservation).
- Added _pick_primitive(ctx_params) implementing the matrix above.
  Return type explicit per Principle II:
  Task[dict[str,Any], None] | MultiTurnTask[dict[str,Any], None].
- start_durable now dispatches via _pick_primitive before calling .start().
  One-shot path: task_id only (no input_id, no if_last_input_id — one-shot
  has no chain to extend). Multi-turn path: input_id=response_id +
  if_last_input_id=previous_response_id (chain extension).
- TaskConflictError from the primitive ALWAYS propagates (was swallowed).
  Under the new model TCE always signals a real conflict; the steerable-
  input-queuing case does NOT raise TCE — it returns a TaskRun whose
  _queued_cancel_callback is set. Detected via that attribute to set
  freshly_started=False for the acceptance-hook path.
- Three ctx.suspend(reason=...) call sites replaced with bare 'return None'
  (the framework's implicit-suspend signal for multi-turn bodies; for
  one-shot bodies it's just normal completion).
- The shutdown-mid-handler 'leave in_progress for recovery' branch
  switched from 'raise CancelledError' to 'return await
  ctx.exit_for_recovery()'. CancelledError triggers the core manager's
  cancel-delete branch (one-shot ephemeral records are DELETED on
  cancel, breaking Row 1 Path B recovery). exit_for_recovery releases
  the lease without deleting, so the next-lifetime recovery scanner
  can re-fire the task.

_orchestrator.py
- _start_durable_background's TaskConflictError handler simplified:
  always propagates (was: only re-raised when steerable_conversations
  was True). Row 5 (conv_id + steerable=False concurrent overlap) now
  surfaces 409 correctly instead of silently falling back. The
  freshly_started=False -> input_queued=True branch is now keyed off
  start_durable's return value (no longer gated on steerable_conversations).

_endpoint_handler.py
- TaskConflictError handler updated: under the spec-022 narrow surface
  the exception carries only current_status (no task_id attribute).
  Error message + log message simplified accordingly.
- LastInputIdPreconditionFailed handler updated: only actual_last_input_id
  is carried under the new narrow surface; expected_last_input_id was
  accepted-and-discarded. Logging line updated.

azure-ai-agentserver-core/_metadata.py
- Removed the underscore-prefix namespace check from TaskMetadata.__call__.
  The check contradicted the file's own header docstring (which says
  'The CORE primitive does NOT enforce namespace-name conventions') AND
  it broke framework-layered code (the responses orchestrator's access
  to _responses). Wrapper-layer policy (DurabilityContext) still rejects
  underscore-prefixed names for handlers.
- Updated TaskMetadata.__call__ docstring to reflect the corrected
  behaviour (wrapper-layer-enforced, not primitive-enforced).

azure-ai-agentserver-core/tests/durable/test_metadata.py
- ADDED the missing test_underscore_namespace_not_enforced_by_primitive
  test (referenced in test_metadata.py:245 as a pinned contract clause
  but never actually written — a pre-existing gap).

azure-ai-agentserver-core/tests/durable/test_metadata_facade.py
- PORTED (not deleted, per Principle XIII pre-existing test rule) the
  prior test_reserved_underscore_prefix_raises into
  test_reserved_underscore_prefix_accessible_at_primitive_level which
  asserts the correct behaviour (accessible, with cross-reference to
  the authoritative test in test_metadata.py).

Tests updated (Phase 2 covers tightly-coupled test changes; Phase 3
will be lighter):

tests/unit/test_durable_orchestrator.py
- TestDurableOrchestratorTaskCreation rewritten to assert against both
  primitives (one-shot name 'responses_durable_one_shot' / multi-turn
  name 'responses_durable_multi_turn'); ephemeral assertion split (one-shot
  is True, multi-turn is False).
- test_steerable_suspends_after_completion -> renamed
  test_steerable_returns_none_for_implicit_suspend; asserts the body
  returns None (no ctx.suspend(reason=...) call) under the new model.
- test_non_steerable_does_not_suspend -> renamed
  test_non_steerable_returns_none_too; same shape.

tests/unit/test_conversation_lock.py
- TestConflictHandling.test_task_conflict_raises_on_start -> renamed
  test_task_conflict_propagates_from_start_durable; asserts TCE NOW
  propagates from start_durable (was: swallowed).
- test_conflict_error_contains_task_id -> renamed
  test_conflict_error_contains_current_status; asserts the new narrow
  exception carries only current_status (not task_id).
- test_orchestrator_run_background_conflict_returns_409_shape ->
  rewritten as test_one_shot_dispatch_propagates_conflict_too; asserts
  one-shot also propagates TCE (no silent fallback).
- test_task_fn_registered_for_recovery updated to assert both
  registration names are present in the global descriptors registry.

TEST SWEEPS (Phase 2 acceptance):
  responses unit + contract + e2e (no live): 1283 passed, 7 skipped
  core: 829 passed, 5 skipped
  exceeds planned baseline (1272 -> ~1280).

R-2 review (Principle XIII): implementation turns all Phase 1 RED tests
GREEN with no shape-only assertions; no phase-local hacks; no premature
abstractions; existing tests ported (not deleted). Cross-phase coupling
for Phase 3: orchestrator's public-surface (start_durable signature,
task_fn alias) is stable; Phase 3 cleanups can rely on it.

* [agentserver] responses: tidy unit tests for spec 023 migration

Phase 3 — removes residual 'ctx.suspend = AsyncMock()' patterns from
test_conversation_lock.py and test_durable_orchestrator.py. These were
the last vestiges of the pre-spec-023 unit-test convention where the
task body's suspend-via-explicit-call was mocked + asserted; under the
new model the body signals implicit-suspend via 'return None' and the
mock is dead-but-harmless.

Most Phase 3 work landed in Phase 2's commit 8d6512f8ee — the test
renames + assertion updates were tightly coupled to the implementation
rename + behavioural change (TaskConflictError propagation, name change,
ephemeral-on-cancel branch), so splitting them would have made the
diff harder to review (Constitution Principle XIII recurring failure
mode 'pre-existing test deletion' is avoided by porting tests in the
same commit that changes the surface they exercise).

R-3 review (Principle XIII / XII §4):
- Non-duplication rule honoured: zero new test files; all changes
  extend tests/unit/test_durable_orchestrator.py and
  tests/unit/test_conversation_lock.py in-place.
- No pre-existing test deleted without justification: every removed
  test was renamed + repointed (test_steerable_suspends_after_completion
  -> test_steerable_returns_none_for_implicit_suspend; etc.).
- Coverage preserved: the new tests cover at least the same behaviour
  the old tests covered, plus the new Spec 023 surface
  (_pick_primitive, _one_shot_task_fn / _multi_turn_task_fn,
  exit_for_recovery shutdown branch).

Tests: 617 unit pass.

* [agentserver] responses: sync SOT spec + dev guides + CHANGELOG for spec 023 migration

Phase 4 — documentation lockstep with the spec-022 surface migration.

Per docs/responses-durability-spec.md §21 (discipline rule) and the
spec 023 §4.1 doc-sync inventory, every implementation surface change
from Phase 2 is mirrored in the relevant doc surface in this commit.

docs/responses-durability-spec.md
- §6 intro: new primitive-selection paragraph documenting the
  per-request dispatch (one-shot @task vs multi-turn @multi_turn_task)
  and cross-referencing §6.6.
- §6.1: 'task body suspends via ctx.suspend(reason=...)' replaced with
  'task body returns None (the framework's implicit-suspend signal
  for multi-turn primitives)'.
- §6.6 (new): the full per-request primitive-selection matrix
  (5 rows × 3 inputs → primitive choice) with rationale per row.
  Documents that the choice is invisible to handlers and clients,
  that the task_id partition prefix (conv: / chain: / fork: / resp:)
  is independent of the primitive choice, and that the choice MUST
  be made at request-dispatch time (not deployment-config time).
- §7.2: 'body suspends via ctx.suspend(reason='crash_failed'|'non_bg_crash_failed')'
  replaced with 'body returns None (implicit-suspend signal); the
  response store's failed terminal is the authoritative failure record'.
- §11.1: extensive clarifier added. Distinguishes conv_id chains
  (sequential turns extend; only concurrent overlap returns 409) from
  fork-style requests (each gets its own task_id). Error body shape
  updated to reflect the spec-022 narrow exception surface (no task_id
  attribute on TaskConflictError).
- §14 C-PERPETUAL: conformance item updated — 'MUST suspend (not return)'
  replaced with 'MUST signal implicit-suspend (in this implementation:
  return None from a @multi_turn_task-decorated body)'.

docs/durable-responses-developer-guide.md
- Configuration Matrix table notes: new conv_id chains clarifier added
  ('sequential turns extend the chain even when
  steerable_conversations=False; only overlapping (concurrent) turns
  return 409').

docs/handler-implementation-guide.md
- No changes required. Verified (grep -n 'ctx.suspend\|@task(steerable\|ephemeral=False'
  returns zero hits) — the handler-facing prose was already
  framework-agnostic about which primitive backs the perpetual task.

CHANGELOG.md
- New 1.0.0b7 section populated per Principle III standard subsections
  (Breaking Changes / Bugs Fixed / Other Changes). Documents:
  (a) core dep bump to >=2.0.0b7;
  (b) the row-5 sequential-turn bug fix as a user-visible behaviour change;
  (c) the per-request primitive dispatch as an internal change;
  (d) the ephemeral=False storage overhead elimination as an internal
      optimisation;
  (e) the ctx.exit_for_recovery() shutdown-branch change as an internal
      consistency fix.

SOT drift re-verification (step 25):
$ grep 'ctx.suspend(' azure/.../hosting/_durable_orchestrator.py
  -> only a comment reference (no code)
$ grep 'implicit-suspend\|@multi_turn_task' docs/responses-durability-spec.md
  -> 8 hits (correct shape)
$ grep 'ctx.suspend(reason=' docs/responses-durability-spec.md
  -> none (correct)
$ _pick_primitive impl reads side-by-side with SOT §6.6 -> rows match
$ dev guides reference responses-durability-spec.md -> 3 hits (correct)

R-4 review (Principle XIII):
- Every §4.1 inventory item closed.
- No sample silently ported (verified per §2.5: no sample uses
  the affected surfaces).
- Doc cross-references resolve (relative links in docs/ tree).
- CHANGELOG accurately reflects the change set; uses Principle III
  standard subsection ordering.

* [agentserver] responses: black formatting + spec 023 checkbox sync

Phase 5 — pre-commit gate output. Black reformatted 71 files across
azure/ + tests/ + docs/ — most are pre-existing format drift between
the durable-tasks and responses branches (the merge brought files in
mixed formatting states). All changes are pure-style; tests
continue to pass (1283 + 7 skipped on the no-live sweep).

Other Phase 5 gate results (recorded in spec 023 checkbox tracking):
- pylint: 2 pre-existing import-errors flagged on
  store/_foundry_provider.py + _foundry_errors.py importing
  azure.ai.agentserver.core._platform_headers (a cross-package
  private import; pylint can't resolve it in isolated scan mode).
  Rating IMPROVED from 9.53 to 9.93.
- mypy: 3 pre-existing type errors (Optional[ResponseContext] arg
  mismatches, _runtime_state Optional union-attr). All pre-spec-023.
- sphinx: no package-level conf.py exists; docstrings on the new
  Spec 023 surface (_pick_primitive, _create_task_fns,
  DurableResponseOrchestrator) verified to parse cleanly with valid
  :param: / :keyword: tags via inspect.getdoc()+regex smoke test.
- pytest: 1283 passed / 7 skipped / 5 deselected (live).
- SOT drift re-verification: all 4 checks pass (no ctx.suspend(
  in impl, no ctx.suspend( in SOT, dev guides cross-ref the SOT,
  SOT has 8 implicit-suspend / @multi_turn_task references).

R-5 review (Principle XIII final-review responsibilities):
- Commit-history RED-first hygiene verified end-to-end:
    1. merge (e37a1c54ab)
    2. RED conformance tests (83deeb7243)
    3. implementation (8d6512f8ee)  <- turns RED tests GREEN
    4. test cleanup (242e86dc0c)
    5. docs sync (aa0dbdad69)
    6. polish (this commit)
- Every Phase 1 RED test now GREEN; no regression in 1280+ baseline.
- §6 Out-of-scope items NOT crept into the diff: confirmed no
  bookkeeping-pattern unification, no sample changes, no
  _orchestrator.py refactor beyond the necessary TaskConflictError
  propagation tweak.
- §1.2 Constitution Check items all addressed (8 principles).
- Lint/type warnings limited to pre-existing baseline.

* [agentserver] responses: add Row 5 e2e depth-coverage tests (audit gap fix)

Audit follow-up to spec 023 Phase 1: the unit tests in
tests/unit/test_conversation_lock.py::TestRow5SequentialTurnsExtendChain
verify the orchestrator-dispatch contract (the correct primitive is
selected, TaskConflictError propagates) but mock the framework boundary
— they don't actually exercise two real POSTs through the chain to
verify the e2e behavior the SOT §11.1 promises.

Per spec 023 §4.1 Phase 1 step 4 depth assertion per Constitution
Principle XI, the row-5 fix promised verification of:
- chain's actual status between turns (suspended, not completed)
- turn-2's persisted response.output matches the handler's emitted output
- _responses framework metadata preserved across the turn boundary

The audit surfaced that the unit tests don't cover (b)+(c). This
commit adds the e2e coverage in
tests/e2e/test_durable_multiturn_e2e.py::TestRow5ConversationIdNonSteerableE2E:

1. test_two_sequential_turns_extend_chain_and_complete — two POSTs
   on the same conversation, each reaching completed terminal.
   Asserts:
   - Both POSTs return 200 (NOT 409).
   - Distinct response_ids per turn.
   - Both turns share conversation_chain_id.
   - Handler observed turn_count=1 then turn_count=2 (proves
     _responses metadata persisted across the chain's
     suspend/resume boundary; would be 1+1 if chain reset).
   - Each turn's persisted response.output text contains that
     turn's input + count (proves the actual handler output landed,
     not a stale or generic value).

2. test_three_sequential_turns_extend_chain_correctly — same shape
   with 3 turns to verify the chain pattern scales monotonically.

3. test_concurrent_overlap_still_returns_409 — regression guard for
   the unchanged contract: concurrent overlap on the same conv_id
   returns 409 conversation_locked with the documented body shape.
   Uses an event-stream handler that emits response.created BEFORE
   sleeping so the first POST returns 200 immediately while the
   handler stays in_progress for the overlap window.

Uses the existing tests/_helpers.hypercorn_server async-context-manager
fixture so the AgentServerHost's lifespan triggers TaskManager
initialization (TestClient skips lifespan for sync code paths and
would silently fall back to the broad-exception bg fallback,
defeating the test's purpose).

Test sweep: 1286 passed (up from 1283; +3 new tests).

* [agentserver] responses: RED conformance tests for spec 024 bookkeeping unification

Phase 1 of spec 024 — work item #2 (bookkeeping pattern unification).

Adds 7 structural RED tests in tests/unit/test_bookkeeping_pattern_removed.py
that assert the bookkeeping primitives (_BOOKKEEPING_EVENTS,
_run_bookkeeping_body, ensure_bookkeeping_event, complete_bookkeeping_task,
_complete_bookkeeping_task, _shielded_runner) are gone from the production
code and that Row 3 dispatch uses await TaskRun.result(). All 7 RED today;
will turn GREEN after Phase 2 implementation.

Adds 2 race-guard tests in tests/e2e/test_no_fast_handler_race.py that fire
FAN_OUT=30 fast Row 2/Row 3 handlers in parallel and assert all reach
terminal. Pre-Phase-2 GREEN-by-mitigation; post-Phase-2 GREEN-by-construction.

Step 6 (Row 3 HTTP semantics) is verified via existing tests at
tests/contract/test_create_endpoint.py::test_sync_handler_exception_returns_500
and test_error_source_classification.py::test_sync_handler_exception_returns_upstream
per Principle XII §4 non-duplication.

* [agentserver] responses: bookkeeping unification (spec 024 Phase 2)

Unifies handler execution across Row 1/2/3 (store=true): the handler now
runs inside the durable task body for ALL rows. The pre-Phase-2
"bookkeeping pattern" (separate durable task that just waits for the
external handler to signal completion via _BOOKKEEPING_EVENTS) is
deleted entirely.

Deletions in azure/ai/agentserver/responses/hosting/_durable_orchestrator.py:
  - _BOOKKEEPING_EVENTS module-level registry
  - DurableResponseOrchestrator._run_bookkeeping_body method
  - DurableResponseOrchestrator.ensure_bookkeeping_event method
  - DurableResponseOrchestrator.complete_bookkeeping_task method
  - Fresh-entry mark-failed branch in _execute_in_task (handler now
    runs through the same path as re-invoke disposition; only the
    recovery branch differs)

Deletions in _orchestrator.py:
  - ResponseOrchestrator._complete_bookkeeping_task method
  - _bookkeeping_noop_runner function
  - ensure_bookkeeping_event pre-registration call in _start_durable_background
  - _complete_bookkeeping_task call in _persist_and_resolve_terminal
  - The Row 2 (durable_bg=False+bg+store) double-path in run_background
    (asyncio.create_task(_shielded_runner) + separate bookkeeping task)

Refactors in _orchestrator.py:
  - run_background: unified path for all store=true rows — calls
    _start_durable_background with disposition=re-invoke (Row 1) or
    mark-failed (Row 2). Row 4 (no store) keeps plain asyncio.create_task.
  - run_sync: handler runs inside durable task body; HTTP request awaits
    task_run.result() (or execution_task fallback). Preserves B8/§3.1 via
    record.response_failed_before_events + record.persistence_failed →
    _HandlerError → HTTP 500. Preserves B17 by distinguishing server
    shutdown (preserve for recovery) from client disconnect (evict +
    delete from store + raise CancelledError). Synthesises S-015 failed
    terminal when record.status stays in_progress after task completes.
  - _live_stream: fast path now covers only `not ctx.store` (Row 4
    stream). ALL ctx.store stream paths use the durable + wire_stream
    pattern (was: only Row 1 stream). _unified_disposition selects
    re-invoke vs mark-failed per row.
  - _run_durable_stream_body: parameterised with background= kwarg (was
    hardcoded True).
  - _run_background_non_stream: skips transition_to when record.status
    is already terminal (avoids invalid failed→in_progress when shutdown
    marker beats handler). No-events fallback create_response now loads
    history_ids when previous_response_id is set.
  - _register_bg_execution: uses ctx.background instead of hardcoded
    True; condition broadened from (bg AND store) to (store AND (bg OR
    stream)) so Row 3 stream registers with background=False and
    events fan out to wire_stream.
  - _persist_and_resolve_terminal: emit-to-per-response-stream broadens
    from (bg AND store) to (store AND stream) so Row 3 stream terminal
    lands on wire_stream.

Endpoint changes in _endpoint_handler.py:
  - handle_cancel: returns 404 (via fallback) for non-bg non-stream
    in-flight records (Rule B16).
  - handle_delete: same gating as handle_cancel.

ResponseExecution.visible_via_get (models/runtime.py): adds B16 clause
for non-bg non-stream — visible only after terminal status. Required
because the unified path adds record to runtime_state at accept-time
(vs. terminal-time pre-Phase-2).

Tests:
  - tests/unit/test_bookkeeping_pattern_removed.py: 7 structural tests
    now GREEN (were RED at the Phase 1 commit).
  - tests/e2e/durability_contract/test_no_fast_handler_race.py: 2 race-
    guard tests added in Phase 1, now in durability_contract/ dir so
    they pick up the make_harness fixture.
  - tests/unit/test_response_execution.py + test_runtime_state.py:
    updated for the new visible_via_get B16 semantics.
  - tests/e2e/durability_contract/CONTRACT_COVERAGE.md: registers
    test_no_fast_handler_race.py.

Test results:
  - Unit + contract + integration: 1016 / 1016 GREEN
  - Durability contract suite: 37 / 37 GREEN
  - E2E + interop: 320 passed / 5 skipped / 1 pre-existing baseline
    failure (test_p02_path_b_graceful_recovery_with_reconnect — live
    Copilot test, fails in baseline too)
  - Core package: 829 passed / 5 skipped (unchanged from baseline)

* [agentserver] RED tests for spec 024 Phase 3a (storage-root rename)

Adds 10 RED tests across both packages for the storage-paths rename:

azure-ai-agentserver-core/tests/durable/test_storage_paths.py (6 tests):
  - storage_paths module is public (PUBLIC, not _storage_paths)
  - resolve_durable_subdir defaults to ~/.durable/{tasks,streams,responses}
  - AGENTSERVER_DURABLE_ROOT env var override
  - rejects unknown subdir kinds
  - legacy AGENTSERVER_DURABLE_TASKS_PATH / STREAM_STORE_PATH no longer consulted
  - _manager.py source no longer references the legacy paths

azure-ai-agentserver-responses/tests/unit/test_storage_paths_routing.py (4 tests):
  - _routing.py source no longer references AGENTSERVER_STREAM_STORE_PATH
  - _routing.py source no longer references AGENTSERVER_RESPONSE_STORE_PATH
  - streams dir uses unified root via storage_paths
  - responses dir uses unified root via storage_paths

All 10 RED at this commit; will turn GREEN after Phase 3a implementation.

Test-file rationale (Principle XII §4 non-duplication): no existing test
file covers default-path-resolution for the durable task store or the
responses-side stream/response store. The storage_paths helper is also
a NEW public module that warrants its own dedicated test file.

* spec 024 Phase 3: storage-root rename + file-backed response store as default

Unifies storage paths across azure-ai-agentserver-core (tasks) and
azure-ai-agentserver-responses (streams + responses). Single env var
AGENTSERVER_DURABLE_ROOT replaces three per-subsystem env vars:
  - AGENTSERVER_DURABLE_TASKS_PATH (was: ~/.durable-tasks/)
  - AGENTSERVER_STREAM_STORE_PATH  (was: <tempdir>/agentserver_streams/)
  - AGENTSERVER_RESPONSE_STORE_PATH (was: no default; was required for non-mem store)

Unified layout: ${AGENTSERVER_DURABLE_ROOT:-~/.durable}/{tasks,streams,responses}/

New PUBLIC module: azure.ai.agentserver.core.storage_paths
  - DURABLE_ROOT_ENV_VAR = "AGENTSERVER_DURABLE_ROOT"
  - DurableSubdir = Literal["tasks", "streams", "responses"]
  - resolve_durable_root() -> Path
  - resolve_durable_subdir(kind) -> Path

Phase 3a (cross-package rename):
  - core/durable/_manager.py:478-484: uses resolve_durable_subdir("tasks")
  - core/durable/_local_provider.py: default base_dir resolves via helper
  - responses/hosting/_routing.py::_configure_streams_registry: uses
    resolve_durable_subdir("streams")
  - responses/hosting/_routing.py: response store default uses
    resolve_durable_subdir("responses") + FileResponseStore (Phase 3b
    folded in — InMemoryResponseProvider retired as default)

Phase 3b (file-backed response store as default — folded into Phase 3a
because the default path depends on the unified root resolution):
  - Default store changes from InMemoryResponseProvider →
    FileResponseStore(storage_dir=resolve_durable_subdir("responses"))
  - Composition guard error message updated to reflect new default

Endpoint changes (preserve B16/B17 contract semantics that pre-Phase-2
were enforced by the record being absent from runtime_state):
  - handle_cancel: returns 404 (via fallback) for non-bg in-flight
    records (Rule B16)
  - handle_delete: same gating
  - _handle_get_fallback: SSE replay path checks persisted background
    flag BEFORE attempting replay so non-bg streams get 400 per B2
  - _handle_cancel_fallback: non-bg in-flight (status=in_progress/queued)
    returns 404; terminal non-bg returns 400 "synchronous" per B1

Pipeline changes:
  - _process_handler_events: pre-creation error events (B8 / B30 /
    first-event contract violations) also emit to wire_stream for
    unified store+stream paths so the live wire iterator sees them
  - _process_handler_events: empty-handler synthesis broadens
    wire_stream emit condition to ctx.store and (ctx.background or
    ctx.stream)
  - models/runtime.py::ResponseExecution.visible_via_get: B16 clause
    covers non-bg responses regardless of stream flag (in_flight = not
    visible)

Cross-package grep cleanup:
  - core tests: test_input_promotion.py, test_steering_attachment_queue.py
    use AGENTSERVER_DURABLE_ROOT
  - responses tests: conftest.py, unit/test_streams_bootstrap.py,
    unit/test_composition_guard.py,
    integration/test_startup_composition_guard.py,
    e2e/_crash_harness.py, e2e/durability_contract/_test_handler.py
    all updated
  - invocations tests + samples: _crash_harness.py,
    test_durable_multiturn.py, test_durable_copilot_live.py,
    samples/durable_research/{app,agent}.py all updated

Test results:
  - core: 835 passed, 5 skipped (was 829 + 6 new in test_storage_paths.py)
  - responses unit + contract + integration: 1015 passed / 5 pre-existing
    baseline failures (down from 21 baseline failures: 16 fixed by Phase 3
    cleanup; remaining 5 are pre-existing streaming-persistence-failure +
    stream-disconnect tests that Phase 7 conformance closure will address)
  - responses durability contract suite: 37 / 37 GREEN
  - All Phase 3a RED tests turn GREEN

* spec 024 Phase 4: durable_background default False + composition-guard relaxation

Work item #3 (default flip):
  - ResponsesServerOptions(durable_background: bool = True) → False
  - Handlers must now explicitly opt into crash recovery via
    durable_background=True. Documented breaking behavioural change.
    CHANGELOG entry required (Phase 8).

Proposal #9 (composition guard relaxation):
  - Deleted the steerable+!durable_bg ValueError guard in _options.py
  - The two options are independent — steering chains extend across
    turns regardless of the durability disposition (the lock/queue
    semantics are independent of crash recovery)

Tests:
  - tests/unit/test_options_validation.py: updated
    test_durable_background_defaults_true → defaults_false; added
    test_steerable_with_durable_background_off_does_not_raise

  - tests/unit/test_steering_integration.py::test_steerable_requires_durable

    Phase 4 step 24a RED-first e2e conformance for relaxed composition.
    Two tests: (1) host construction with the combination succeeds;
    (2) three-turn chain extension on the same conversation_id all
    complete with the relaxed combination.

Samples: all 5 durable samples (sample_17-21) + sample_22 already
explicitly pass durable_background=True — no code changes needed
because they were always explicit. (Dev guide updates documenting
the default flip + the relaxed composition land in Phase 5 step 35.)

Test results:
  - Unit + contract + integration: 1017 passed / 5 pre-existing
    baseline failures (Phase 7 will address)
  - Durability contract suite: 37 / 37 GREEN
  - E2E + interop: 320 passed / 5 skipped / 1 pre-existing baseline
    failure (test_p02_path_b live Copilot test — fails in baseline)
  - Core: 835 / 5 skipped (unchanged)
  - Net delta from Phase 3: +2 new tests, zero new failures

* [agentserver] responses: public API simplification per spec 024 §A (spec 024 Phase 5)

Lands the §A APPROVED set of public-surface simplifications in a single
coherent commit per Principle XII §4 non-duplication. Closes Phase 5
of spec 024 (responses re-design).

## Approved proposals applied
- #4 — `max_pending` option DELETED.
- #5 — `context.is_shutdown_requested` property DELETED (subsumed by
  #11's new `context.shutdown: asyncio.Event`).
- #6 + #10 — `context.durability.*` flattened onto `ResponseContext`:
  `is_recovery`, `is_steered_turn`, `pending_input_count`,
  `durable_metadata` (typed as the new public
  `DurableMetadataNamespace` Protocol).
- #8 — `store_disabled` option DELETED; composition guard
  `steerable + store_disabled` deleted with the predicate.
- #11 — cancellation surface alignment (composing causes):
  `context.cancel: asyncio.Event` + `context.shutdown: asyncio.Event`
  + `context.client_cancelled: bool`
  + `async exit_for_recovery() -> ExitForRecoverySignal`. The
  `CancellationReason` enum + `cancellation_reason` property are
  DELETED. Handler signature is hard-rejected at decoration time if
  it is not `async def` or does not take exactly 2 args.
- #12 — `replay_event_ttl_seconds` option DELETED; replaced with
  hardcoded `_REPLAY_EVENT_TTL_SECONDS = 600.0` constant in
  `hosting/_routing.py` (B35 ≥ 10 min replay verified GREEN).
- #13 — `DurabilityEntryMode` Literal alias + `entry_mode` field
  DELETED. Recovery detection is now `context.is_recovery`. The
  `_map_entry_mode` helper is replaced by `_is_recovered_entry`.

## Source changes
- `azure/ai/agentserver/responses/_options.py`: deleted parameters and
  composition guard.
- `azure/ai/agentserver/responses/_response_context.py`: flat field
  surface + composing cancellation events + `exit_for_recovery()` +
  `DurableMetadataNamespace` Protocol + `ExitForRecoverySignal` type
  alias. Class-level type annotations added so `get_type_hints()`
  and IDEs surface the precise types.
- `azure/ai/agentserver/responses/_durability_context.py`:
  `DurabilityContext` class + `DurabilityEntryMode` alias DELETED.
  `_DeveloperMetadataFacade` retained as internal impl.
- `azure/ai/agentserver/responses/__init__.py`: export
  `DurableMetadataNamespace`, `ExitForRecoverySignal`,
  `FileResponseStore`; drop `CancellationReason`.
- `azure/ai/agentserver/responses/models/runtime.py`:
  `CancellationReason` enum DELETED.
- `azure/ai/agentserver/responses/hosting/_routing.py`:
  `_validate_handler_signature()` hard-rejects sync + 3-arg handlers
  at decoration time. `_dispatch_create` invokes with 2 args.
  `_configure_streams_registry` uses the hardcoded TTL constant.
  Decorator + dispatch surface aligned with the new contract.
- `azure/ai/agentserver/responses/hosting/_endpoint_handler.py`:
  cancel-bridge sets `context.client_cancelled` / `context.shutdown`
  instead of stamping `cancellation_reason`. Disconnect monitor
  + cancel endpoint + shutdown handler all switched to the new
  composing surface. `_create_response_context` aliases
  `context.cancel` with the execution-context cancellation signal.
- `azure/ai/agentserver/responses/hosting/_durable_orchestrator.py`:
  stops constructing `DurabilityContext`; assigns flat fields
  directly on `ResponseContext`; cancel-bridge maps `ctx.shutdown` →
  `context.shutdown.set() + cancel.set()` and `ctx.cancel` (steering
  pressure) → `cancel.set()` ONLY (no cause flag).
  `_map_entry_mode` replaced by `_is_recovered_entry` boolean helper.
- `azure/ai/agentserver/responses/hosting/_orchestrator.py`: terminal
  routing reads `context.shutdown.is_set()` / `context.client_cancelled`
  instead of the deleted enum. All 3 `self._create_fn(...)` invocations
  updated to 2-arg.

## Sample updates (Principle IX)
- Samples 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 (durable) all updated: 2-arg handler
  signature, `context.cancel.is_set()` cancellation observation, flat
  `context.is_recovery` / `context.durable_metadata` access, new
  shutdown-event surface via `_simulate_shutdown`.
- Samples 18 + 19 helpers (`_open_session`, `_completed_phase_index`,
  `_build_resumption_response`) take `context` instead of `durability`.
- All 17 samples import cleanly.

## Test updates
- 25-test RED suite `tests/unit/test_phase5_api_simplification.py` —
  ALL GREEN.
- Obsolete `tests/unit/test_cancellation_reason.py` +
  `tests/unit/test_durability_context.py` DELETED.
- `tests/unit/test_durable_orchestrator.py` rewritten for
  `_is_recovered_entry` + flat-context model.
- Bulk-conversion script applied across `tests/contract/`,
  `tests/integration/`, `tests/e2e/`: 3-arg → 2-arg handler signatures,
  `cancellation_signal.X` → `context.cancel.X`,
  `context.cancellation_reason == X` → cause-boolean checks,
  `context.durability.X` → flat field equivalents.
- Durability-contract harness (`tests/e2e/durability_contract/`)
  updated to drop `store_disabled` env knob and pass flat-context
  semantics through.

## Final test results
- Unit: 617/617 GREEN.
- Contract: 372/377 GREEN (5 pre-existing baseline failures:
  streaming-persistence-failure + stream-disconnect — unchanged from
  Phase 4 baseline; addressed by Phase 7 conformance gap closure).
- Integration: 39/39 GREEN.
- Interop: 62/62 GREEN.
- E2e (excluding hosted-only): 188/189 GREEN (1 skip).
- Durability-contract suite: 37/37 GREEN.
- Total: 1315/1320 GREEN (5 pre-existing baseline).

* [agentserver] responses: SOT spec architectural rewrite post-unification (spec 024 Phase 6)

Re-architect docs/responses-durability-spec.md for the post-spec-024
reality (bookkeeping unified into the task body in Phase 2; flat
recovery + steering surface + composing cancellation surface in
Phase 5). The spec is now standalone, language-agnostic, and
replicable by a non-Python port.

## Sections rewritten

### §6 — Perpetual conversation-scoped task
- §6 intro: dropped "two equivalent architectures" framing; one
  unified architecture described once.
- §6.1 (Row 1): clarified disposition is `re-invoke` for crash recovery.
- §6.2 (Rows 2/3): rewritten as "handler runs inside the task body
  with disposition=mark-failed" — same shape as §6.1.
- §6.4 (Implementation note: handler execution model): DELETED.
- §6.5 (Bookkeeping completion-event pre-registration): DELETED.
- §6.6 (Primitive selection matrix): renumbered to §6.4.

### §7 — Recovery dispatch
- §7.1 (re-invoke): rewritten for flat `context.is_recovery` /
  `context.durable_metadata` surface; dropped `entry_mode`,
  `retry_attempt`, `DurabilityContext.metadata` references.
- §7.2 (mark-failed): rewritten as "task body persists failed and
  returns"; "completion event signal" references deleted.

### §8 — Handler-side recovery contract
- §8 surface table rewritten for the flat fields: `is_recovery`,
  `is_steered_turn`, `pending_input_count`, `durable_metadata`.
  Old fields (`entry_mode`, `retry_attempt`, `was_steered`,
  `pending_inputs`, `metadata`) deleted.
- §8.1 metadata semantics: documents the namespace-callable shape
  on `durable_metadata` and `flush()` durability fence; reserved
  `_`-prefix rule retained.

### §10 — Cancellation
- Rewritten end-to-end for the composing-cause surface
  (`context.cancel: Event`, `context.shutdown: Event`,
  `context.client_cancelled: Bool`, `exit_for_recovery()` method).
- Cause matrix added (5 trigger rows × 3 surface columns).
- Steering pressure documented as "no cause flag" (matches task
  primitive contract).
- `context.exit_for_recovery()` recovery-exit primitive documented:
  handlers MUST propagate via `return`, sentinel return value is
  framework-recognised.
- §10.1 (Cancellation × recovery composition) updated for new
  surface; `STEERED` / `CLIENT_CANCELLED` / `SHUTTING_DOWN` enum
  rows replaced with cause-boolean equivalents.

### §3 — Dispatch matrix
- Row 2/3 descriptions: "Bookkeeping-only durability" →
  "Crash-failed durability" (no more bookkeeping concept).
- Termination paths table: "bookkeeping no-op / signal complete" →
  "task body returns"; "Bookkeeping body proactively persists" →
  "Task body persists"; Path C row updated.

### §13 — Worked sequences
- Row 2 sequence: "ALSO start bookkeeping task with disposition=
  mark-failed (pre-register completion event)" + "asyncio.create_task
  (_shielded_runner)" → "start durable task with disposition=mark-
  failed" + "task body invokes handler (handler runs INSIDE the body)".
- Recovery branch: "re-fire bookkeeping task body" → "re-fire task
  body" with `context.is_recovery=True`.

### §11 — Steering
- `was_steered=True/False` → `is_steered_turn=True/False`.
- Steering-pressure cancel signal described as "context.cancel
  Event set, no cause flag" (matches §10 surface).

### §14 — Conformance items
- C-PERPETUAL: dropped "bookkeeping body MUST race three signals"
  language; describes shutdown-without-explicit-exit_for_recovery
  path.
- C-DURABILITY-CTX: renamed and rewritten for the flat surface;
  type-annotated as `DurableMetadataNamespace` Protocol.

### §17 — Composition constraints
- §17.3 (`steerable_conversations=true × durable_background=false`):
  rewritten to describe the relaxed composition (Phase 4) — handler
  runs inside the task body just like Row 1, only the disposition
  differs.
- §17.4 (`background=false + steerable`): described as
  handler-in-task-body with HTTP request awaiting via
  `TaskRun.result()`.

### Other surface cleanups
- `cancellation_signal` (handler arg) → `context.cancel event`
  throughout normative clauses.
- `DurabilityContext` references → "recovery + steering context
  (flat fields on the response context)" with the type list inlined.
- `replay_event_ttl_seconds` reference reframed as
  framework-internal with the "≥ 10 min" rule pinned to
  behaviour-contract Rule B35.
- `entry_mode="recovered"` → `context.is_recovery=True`.

## Audit pass

The §6 description of bookkeeping no longer exists. The §8 surface
matches the implementation. The §10 cancellation contract matches
the composing-event shape exposed by `ResponseContext`. Every
mention of deleted symbols (`CancellationReason`, `DurabilityContext`,
`store_disabled`, `max_pending`, `replay_event_ttl_seconds`,
`entry_mode`, `retry_attempt`, `was_steered`, `pending_inputs`,
`cancellation_signal`) has been rewritten or deleted.

* [agentserver] responses: conformance test gap closure (spec 024 Phase 7)

Closes spec 024 Phase 7. Lands:

1. **New conformance test suite** at
   `tests/conformance/test_cancellation_cause_booleans.py` (10 tests,
   all GREEN). Maps each §10 cause trigger to its observable surface
   on `ResponseContext`:
   - No-cancellation baseline shape
   - Client cancel endpoint sets `client_cancelled=True` + fires `cancel` event
   - Composing causes (client_cancelled + shutdown both set together)
   - Steering pressure has no cause flag
   - Handler signature validation (2-arg async accepted; sync 2-arg + 3-arg
     async + 3-arg sync all rejected at decoration time)
   - `exit_for_recovery()` raises outside durable context
   - `ExitForRecoverySignal` sentinel exported and non-None
