Workshop validation ledger

Overall verdict

All labs | Français | Evidence gallery

Latest execution evidence: actual rerun record. Terraform init/validate/plan now passed without apply; Lab 6's actual SDK import failure was reproduced and the source-pinned isolated retest passed. The tables below retain the original review baseline unless superseded by that record.

Documentation review and publication are separate from live lab validation. The workshop is not certified as fully rerun. Lab 1 has user-provided evidence of its email outcome. The remaining labs have source/documentation/static checks and explicit acceptance procedures, but do not have a demonstrated complete cloud pass.

The browser initially reached an authentication barrier. The user then signed in and initialized the GitHub wiki. That removed the publication barrier; it did not automatically create Search, telemetry, models, indexes, knowledge bases, or connectors.

Status definitions

Status	Meaning
Observed user run	The provided evidence shows a specific outcome; not a new assistant rerun
Read-only check passed	A tool directly observed a narrow prerequisite or repository condition
Procedure reviewed	The source workflow was compared with official guidance; execution is still needed
Static check	A local file or code property was inspected without executing its cloud operations
Blocked	A prerequisite, permission, environment, or supported integration prevents completion
Not run	No execution result is available

An unavailable or untested step remains blocked/not run. A screenshot from a Word document, a generated diagram, or a plausible agent answer cannot upgrade that status.

Per-lab acceptance ledger

Lab	Current result	Required evidence before a full pass
0	Partial read-only preflight; complete environment readiness not established	Environment, entitlement/capacity, policy, data permissions, quota, Terraform, and budget verified
1	Observed user run: send tool and received message; not every negative test executed	New controlled run with grounded answer, recipient resolution, send result, receipt, and negative tests
2	Procedure reviewed; no demonstrated complete retrieval run	Successful indexer, nonempty relevant Search results, connected Copilot answer with expected sources
3	Procedure reviewed; no demonstrated telemetry ingestion	Deliberate event correlated to a recent lab interaction and visible in the intended log query
4	Procedure reviewed; no demonstrated connected-model run	Direct model test, parsed retrieval, prompt invocation, grounded answer, explicit empty/error behavior
5.1	Static deployment review; no apply performed	Compatible providers, reviewed plan, approved apply, expected resources and private configuration
5	Source/static review; advanced query results not observed	Supplied corpus indexed, required queries executed, expected fields/ranking/filter behavior recorded
6	Source/static review; end-to-end connected-agent run not observed	Complete data/configuration, supported SDK/API, direct retrieval, Foundry agent and Copilot connection verified

Checks performed in this session

Check	Observed result	Scope limitation
Source inventory	Labs 0–6 and supplement 5.1 found, plus supporting files	Does not prove the runtime package is complete
Word source access	Readable ZIP-based documents extracted locally; compound-format files read through installed Word	Protected source documents are not republished
Lab numbering	Monitoring/BYOM internal titles contradict their filenames	Guides consistently follow filenames
Azure CLI	Installed version 2.91.0; selected account query succeeded	No claim about every subscription or tenant
Provider registration	Search, Cognitive Services, Insights observed Registered	Registration does not prove role rights, capacity, network access, or deployment success
Selected-subscription resource inventory	Cognitive Services resources present; no Search service or Application Insights component returned	Scoped to the selected subscription and current identity
Terraform executable	Not found on PATH	No terraform init, validate, plan, or apply claimed
Copilot browser	Sign-in succeeded and Home was visible; agent navigation then returned a persistent blank page	Licensing advisor could not be opened; no new knowledge question was submitted
GitHub publication access	Private repository created; wiki enabled and initialized by the owner	Repository and wiki require separate commits and remote verification
Lab 1 attachments	Send-tool/result crop and matching received-email crop preserved	No independent transport-header or licensing-content audit
Current product guidance	Official Microsoft Learn references checked for the documented substitutions	Documentation checks are not runtime tests
Lab 6 notebook	11 of 11 code cells syntax-valid; 24 inline records identified	Syntax and data presence do not prove API, inference, retrieval, or integration compatibility
Advanced-lab examples	Four JSON examples checked; SVG diagrams parsed; acceptance IDs aligned between languages	Examples and diagrams do not prove cloud behavior

The advanced-lab review also identified Terraform identity/network gaps, disabled Foundry provisioning, embedding-dimension consistency requirements, API/SDK drift, and destructive reset behavior that must be resolved or consciously gated before a live run. Consult the detailed findings in Labs 5.1, 5, and 6 rather than applying the original package unchanged.

Advanced-package findings that need action

1. The supplied Terraform configuration disables the Foundry module, so the advertised Foundry project is not provisioned by that path.
2. The Search module does not apply the supplied allowed-IP/Entra options as expected, and the required service identity is not attached. Review effective resources and role assignments before treating the configuration as an identity/network baseline.
3. The deployment supplement uses 1,536-dimensional embeddings while Lab 6 expects 3,072. These are different configuration expectations, not interchangeable indexes. Align the model output, index field, and query embedding for the selected lab.
4. Preview SDK, ARM, and MCP contracts require compatibility reconciliation. The connected-agent route requires the supported Activity/new-portal agent contract.
5. Notebook reset code deletes fixed-name objects; the final cleanup is commented out. Do not run reset cells against a shared project.

The notebook also references a quick-reference Markdown file that is absent. The package supplies data\quick_reference_guide.docx instead. Renaming an extension does not convert a document; obtain an authorized source in the expected format.

Documentation and tooling gates

The offline gates are reproducible using:

python -m py_compile scripts\build_wiki.py scripts\validate_docs.py scripts\test_docs.py
python -m unittest discover -s scripts -p "test_*.py" -v
python scripts\build_wiki.py --output .wiki-build
python scripts\validate_docs.py --wiki .wiki-build

The offline checks passed for the publication snapshot: Python compilation, seven unit tests, 28 canonical Markdown files, 13 English/French page pairs, 29 manifested PNG figures, and 30 exported wiki Markdown files. There were no broken local links or missing image/provenance entries. No pre-existing linter or package build was configured in the initially empty repository.

The final publication is accepted only after these checks succeed and the remote repository/wiki commits match the local published commits. These checks validate the documentation deliverable, not cloud execution. See publication procedure for export details and maintenance.

Remaining live validation work

1. Confirm the selected workshop environment, harness, credits, permissions, quota, data policies, approved budget, and cleanup owner.
2. Preserve the working Lab 1 agent before changing its knowledge or topics.
3. Provision only the dedicated, approved Search and telemetry resources required by the selected labs. Do not reuse unrelated production resources.
4. Execute the test matrices in each guide in dependency order.
5. Capture new, redacted evidence with input, result, timestamp, source edition, model/API version, and downstream outcome where applicable.
6. Fix the smallest failing boundary, retest it, then retest the integrated path.
7. Update both language ledgers and distinguish partial tests from a complete lab pass.

No billable Azure resources, new billing policy, external email, or agent configuration changes were performed by the documentation work. Stop at blocked rather than inventing a pass if the required authorized environment is unavailable.
