Pull Request Overview
This PR integrates the Agent Framework DevUI into the aiagent-webapi template and addresses several template-related improvements. The main changes rename the project template package from Microsoft.Agents.AI.Templates to Microsoft.Agents.AI.ProjectTemplates, add DevUI support with browser launch configuration, update API configuration keys for better simplicity, and fix issues with test project file exclusions.
Key changes:
- Adds DevUI package reference and endpoint mapping to all aiagent-webapi template variants
- Updates configuration keys from nested format (e.g.,
OpenAI:Key) to simple environment variable format (e.g.,OPENAI_KEY) - Renames project template package and updates all references throughout the codebase
- Fixes ExecutionTestSandbox folder inclusion issues in test projects

- The items for
ExecutionTestSandboxare being both included and removed, which creates conflicting directives. Lines 27-28 includeContentandEmbeddedResourceitems forExecutionTestSandbox\**\*.*, while line 20 and 25 already remove all items fromExecutionTestSandbox\**. These include directives on lines 27-28 will have no effect since the items have already been excluded, and they should be removed.

The Microsoft.Agents.AI.DevUI package will soon be published, and it will be enabled by default in the aiagent-webapi project template, with the option to disable it. When DevUI is enabled, the OpenAI Responses and Conversations need to be added into the app.
This PR also improves the project template execution test output to emit the stdout and stderr when not empty, as well as an expanded test description that does not get truncated (like the
[Theory]args do). As part of that, an issue is fixed in the project template projects where theExecutionTestSandboxfolders were being included in the projects, causing build errors in the projects after execution tests had been run.This cannot be merged until DevUI is published and the package versions are updated in
