Make Azure AI Foundry the primary AI provider across Parts 1-6 (#492)#498
Merged
Conversation
GitHub Models is retiring July 30, 2026, so it can no longer be the default provider for the workshop. Switch the primary path to Azure AI Foundry (Azure OpenAI) while keeping GitHub Models as a clearly-labeled legacy fallback. - Part 2: scaffold with --provider azureopenai; Azure connection string is primary, GitHub Models moved to a collapsible legacy-fallback section with retirement warning - Part 3 + sample AppHost.cs comments: show Azure endpoint as primary, GitHub Models as legacy - Root README: architecture diagrams and prerequisites list Azure AI Foundry first, GitHub Models as legacy - Part 5: provider mentions reordered (Azure first)

Summary
Closes #492.
GitHub Models is fully retired on July 30, 2026 (brownouts July 16 & 23), so it can no longer be the default provider for the July 27 workshop. This PR makes Azure AI Foundry (Azure OpenAI) the primary provider across Parts 1–6 and demotes GitHub Models to a clearly-labeled legacy fallback.
Because the app already uses
AddAzureOpenAIClient(and theIChatClient/IEmbeddingGeneratorabstractions), this is a documentation + connection-string change — no application code rewrite.Changes
--provider azureopenaigpt-4o-mini/text-embedding-3-small), linking to the Part 4 deployment steps[!WARNING]AppHost.cs(Parts 2, 4, 5, 6) — user-secrets comment shows the Azure connection string as primary with a GitHub Models legacy noteVerification
