1.18.5 (2026-09-02)

Bugs Fixed

• Made Application Insights export failures best-effort for evaluations using project managed identity authentication.

• Fixed keyword argument routing so bare messages=[...] input, with optional top-level context, ground_truth,
  and tool_definitions, is normalized into the already-supported conversation path for RelevanceEvaluator,
  SimilarityEvaluator, FluencyEvaluator, RetrievalEvaluator, ResponseCompletenessEvaluator,
  ViolenceEvaluator, HateUnfairnessEvaluator, SelfHarmEvaluator, SexualEvaluator,
  ProtectedMaterialEvaluator, IndirectAttackEvaluator, CodeVulnerabilityEvaluator, and ECIEvaluator.
  Existing scalar and conversation={...} input semantics are unchanged.
