Python: Raise clear handler registration error for unresolved TypeVar annotations (#4944)
* Raise clear handler registration error for unresolved TypeVar (#4943) Detect unresolved TypeVar in message parameter annotations during handler registration in both _validate_handler_signature (Executor) and _validate_function_signature (FunctionExecutor). Raises a ValueError with an actionable message recommending @handler(input=..., output=...) or @executor(input=..., output=...) instead of letting TypeVar leak through to a confusing TypeCompatibilityError during workflow edge validation. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Address review feedback for #4943: reorder checks and harden function executor - Move TypeVar check before validate_workflow_context_annotation in _executor.py so users see the more actionable error first - Wrap get_type_hints in try/except in _function_executor.py matching the defensive pattern in _executor.py - Repurpose duplicate test to cover bounded TypeVar rejection - Add test_function_executor_allows_concrete_types for test symmetry Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Narrow get_type_hints except clause and add missing tests (#4943) - Narrow `except Exception` to `except (NameError, AttributeError, RecursionError)` in both _executor.py and _function_executor.py so unexpected failures in get_type_hints are not silently swallowed. - Add test_handler_unresolvable_annotation_raises to test_function_executor_future.py exercising the except branch of get_type_hints in the function executor path. - Add test_function_executor_rejects_bounded_typevar_in_message_annotation to test_function_executor.py for parity with the Executor bounded TypeVar test. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Add error ordering test for TypeVar vs WorkflowContext priority (#4943) Add test_handler_typevar_error_takes_priority_over_context_error to verify that when a handler has both a TypeVar message and an unannotated ctx, the TypeVar error is raised first (the more actionable issue). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Python: Fix image content serialization sending null file_id to Foundry API Omit file_id from input_image dict when not present instead of including it as null, which Azure AI Foundry's stricter schema validation rejects. * Python: Fix Foundry API rejecting rich content in function_call_output Azure AI Foundry does not support list-format output in function_call_output items. Add SUPPORTS_RICH_FUNCTION_OUTPUT flag (default True) to RawOpenAIChatClient, set to False in RawFoundryChatClient so Foundry falls back to string output for tool results with images/files. Also omit file_id from input_image dicts when not set, since Foundry rejects explicit nulls. * Python: Surface rich tool content as user message when Foundry lacks support When SUPPORTS_RICH_FUNCTION_OUTPUT is False, image/file items from tool results are injected as a follow-up user message so the model can still process the visual content via Foundry's supported user message format. * Xfail Foundry image integration test for the meantime --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot <copilot@github.com> Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
