fix: upgrade agent framework versions

[Akhileswara-Microsoft]

Purpose

This pull request updates the backend to use the new OpenAIChatCompletionClient and Agent classes from the latest agent-framework packages, replacing the previous AzureOpenAIChatClient and related APIs. It also updates dependencies to more recent versions and adapts the codebase and tests to the new interfaces and event handling structure. The changes modernize the orchestration and agent instantiation logic, improve compatibility, and simplify token management.

Does this introduce a breaking change?

• Yes
• No

Golden Path Validation

• I have tested the primary workflows (the "golden path") to ensure they function correctly without errors.

Deployment Validation

• I have validated the deployment process successfully and all services are running as expected with this change.

What to Check

This pull request updates the agent orchestration backend to use the new OpenAIChatCompletionClient and Agent classes from the latest agent-framework packages, replacing the older AzureOpenAIChatClient and its agent creation pattern. It also updates event handling to use type-based checks rather than class-based checks, and ensures compatibility with the updated SDKs and APIs. Several dependencies are updated to their latest versions, and tests are refactored to match the new initialization and mocking patterns.

Pull request overview

This pull request upgrades the backend’s Microsoft Agent Framework integration to newer packages and APIs, migrating from AzureOpenAIChatClient / create_agent(...) to OpenAIChatCompletionClient plus direct Agent(...) instantiation, and adjusting workflow event handling accordingly.

Changes:

• Replace Azure-specific chat client usage with OpenAIChatCompletionClient and instantiate Agent directly in orchestrator and title service.
• Update workflow event handling to branch on event.type and use Message objects for outputs.
• Bump backend and infra dependency pins to newer Agent Framework + Foundry SDK versions, and refactor unit tests to match the new APIs.

• Same issue as the direct-mode initialize test: orchestrator.initialize() now chains participants()/with_start_agent()/with_termination_condition(), but the builder mock only stubs add_agent/add_handoff/build. Configure those chain methods to return the builder instance (and ideally assert the participants list) so the test meaningfully exercises the updated Foundry initialization path.
