Summary

Adds the missing MAF integration guide at docs/src/content/docs/guide/agent-framework-integration.md.

Closes #1565


Revised by CONTROL (third independent revision) after FIDO rejection of CAPCOM's original and Handbook's revision. CAPCOM and Handbook are locked out for this cycle.

CONTROL revision notes (post-Handbook/FIDO cycle)

Three factual corrections applied — all grounded in source evidence:

1. 0.5.6-rc1+ → plain English in troubleshooting table

Problem: The troubleshooting table used Squad.Agents.AI 0.5.6-rc1+ as if + is a NuGet "or newer" operator. It is not — NuGet does not recognize + as a range operator; it is used only in build metadata (SemVer 2.0) and is ignored or rejected by the package manager.

Fix: Changed to Squad.Agents.AI version 0.5.6-rc1 or later (plain English, no version literal syntax).

Evidence: Copilot reviewer comment on line 236; NuGet SemVer spec.


2. Fabricated GITHUB_COPILOT_CLI_PATH env var removed; SquadAgentOptions.CliPath documented

Problem: The Hosting section stated "Set the GITHUB_COPILOT_CLI_PATH environment variable to the CLI binary path". No such environment variable exists in the source code or the GitHub.Copilot SDK.

Source evidence:

  • src/Squad.Agents.AI/SquadAgentOptions.cs:28 — public string? CliPath { get; set; }
  • src/Squad.Agents.AI/SquadAgent.cs:298-300 — if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(options.CliPath) || combinedCliArgs.Count > 0) { clientOptions.Connection = RuntimeConnection.ForStdio(options.CliPath, combinedCliArgs); }

Fix: Removed GITHUB_COPILOT_CLI_PATH entirely. Replaced with accurate prose describing SquadAgentOptions.CliPath as a DI-time property, with a minimal compilable example:

builder.Services.AddSquadAgent(o =>
{
    o.SquadFolderPath = "/teams/main";
    o.CliPath = "/usr/local/bin/copilot"; // absolute path inside the container
});

3. Streaming snippet made self-contained

Problem: The streaming snippet used host without defining it, making it non-compilable if copied in isolation.

Fix: Added a single comment: // Assumes host is the IHost built in the DI registration step above. This explicitly cross-references the preceding host setup without duplicating the full build boilerplate.


Verified retained content

Claim Evidence
Squad.Agents.AI version is 0.5.6-rc1 <Version>0.5.6-rc1</Version> in src/Squad.Agents.AI/Squad.Agents.AI.csproj line 31
buildTransitive bridge ships in that package PackagePath="buildTransitive\Squad.Agents.AI.props" in csproj item group
PermissionHandler.ApproveAll is set by default SquadAgent.cs line 132
SquadAgentOptions.CliPath is the correct DI-time property SquadAgentOptions.cs:28, SquadAgent.cs:298-300
No nav changes Only agent-framework-integration.md touched

Validation

  • Docs build passes: 166 pages indexed
  • CSpell: 0 issues in 0 files
  • Page-local <!-- cspell:ignore nupkgs devblogs --> directive preserved (not in global cspell.json)

Adds docs/src/content/docs/guide/agent-framework-integration.md

Covers:
- SquadAgent : DelegatingAIAgent architecture and client.AsAIAgent() flow
- DI registration via AddSquadAgent / AddKeyedSquadAgent
- Basic RunAsync and RunStreamingAsync usage
- Session/state behavior (no SerializeSessionAsync/DeserializeSessionAsync)
- GitHub.Copilot.SDK buildTransitive workaround status (resolved in 0.5.6-rc1)
- PermissionHandler.ApproveAll security warning (dev-only)
- Aspire dashboard OTel observability with SquadAgentDiagnostics.ActivitySourceName
- Container hosting / GITHUB_COPILOT_CLI_PATH guidance
- Decision matrix: CLI vs TypeScript SDK vs MAF
- Troubleshooting table
- Links to all first-party sources + credited Tamir Dresher post/gist

Preview banner present. Does not mention non-existent SerializeSessionAsync,
DeserializeSessionAsync, or a GitHubCopilotAgent type/static factory.

Validated: docs build passes (166 pages indexed).

Pull request overview

Adds a new docs guide describing how to integrate Squad.Agents.AI with Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF) so a Squad team can be used as a .NET AIAgent, including DI registration, invocation, observability (Aspire/OpenTelemetry), security considerations, hosting notes, troubleshooting, and reference links.

Changes:

  • New MAF integration guide page under docs/src/content/docs/guide/.
  • Documents install + transitive GitHub.Copilot.SDK workaround context and upgrade guidance.
  • Includes DI, invocation (sync + streaming), and Aspire tracing wiring examples.

  • 0.5.6-rc1+ isn’t a valid NuGet package version (the + suffix is not a usable “or newer” notation). Use explicit wording like “0.5.6-rc1 or later” instead.
| `InvalidOperationException: Copilot runtime not found` | Native CLI binary not in output; old package version | Upgrade to `Squad.Agents.AI 0.5.6-rc1+`; if still failing, add direct `GitHub.Copilot.SDK` reference |

docs/src/content/docs/guide/agent-framework-integration.md:127

  • The streaming snippet has the same issue as the non-streaming example: host isn’t defined, so the snippet won’t compile if copied as-is. Make it standalone (or explicitly reference the earlier snippet) so it’s usable.
```csharp
var squad = host.Services.GetRequiredService<SquadAgent>();
var session = await squad.CreateSessionAsync();

await foreach (var update in squad.RunStreamingAsync("Summarize the team.", session))
{
    Console.Write(update.Text);
}
Console.WriteLine();

> `SquadAgent` sets `OnPermissionRequest = PermissionHandler.ApproveAll` on the `SessionConfig` by default. This silently approves every permission request — shell access, file reads, URL fetches — without review. **Do not use this in public-facing or multi-tenant server deployments.**

…ionResult, fix ref link

Revision by Handbook after FIDO rejection of CAPCOM's PR #1574.

Fixes:
- Add page-local cspell:ignore for 'nupkgs' and 'devblogs' (avoids editing
  shared global config; docs-quality check now passes: 0 issues in 0 files)
- Remove scoped-handler code block using PermissionKind.Shell/File and
  PermissionResult.Deny/Allow — these type names are not present in the
  GitHub.Copilot.SDK 1.0.x XML docs; the actual return type is
  PermissionDecision (GitHub.Copilot.Rpc). Replace with accurate prose
  describing the delegate pattern plus a link to the first-party SDK
  permission-handler reference. PermissionHandler.ApproveAll warning retained
  (verified in SquadAgent.cs line 132 and SDK XML).
- Make microsoft/agent-framework#6457 entry in References table a clickable
  link to microsoft/agent-framework#6457

Verified retained content:
- 0.5.6-rc1 version: confirmed in Squad.Agents.AI.csproj <Version>0.5.6-rc1</Version>
- buildTransitive bridge: confirmed in .csproj lines 48, 67, 101, 132

Docs build: 166 pages indexed (unchanged). CSpell: 0 issues.

Closes #1565

…var, fix streaming snippet

- Replace `0.5.6-rc1+` with plain-English 'version 0.5.6-rc1 or later' in troubleshooting table
  (NuGet + suffix is not a valid 'or newer' operator)
- Remove fabricated `GITHUB_COPILOT_CLI_PATH` env var; document verified `SquadAgentOptions.CliPath`
  DI-time property (source: SquadAgentOptions.cs:28, SquadAgent.cs:298-300)
  with minimal example showing how Squad passes it to RuntimeConnection.ForStdio at startup
- Add '// Assumes host is the IHost built in the DI registration step above.' comment to
  streaming snippet so `host` is explicitly referenced without making the snippet standalone

Verified: docs build 166 pages, cspell 0 issues.
