Cause (Documented platform behavior): Development environment enables DI scope validation that the handler registration trips; azd ai agent run sets FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT and hosted mode automatically.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- The C# message is quoted with an ellipsis in the docs; the real message includes the handler type name.
Other error fragments:
- FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT not set
- ModuleNotFoundError: azure.ai.agentserver
- The type or namespace name 'AgentServer' could not be found

Proposed fix: [Foundry hosted agent local dev] C# 'Cannot resolve scoped service ... Handler from root provider' on dotnet run; 'FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT not set'
Recommended action: Use azd ai agent run, or set ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production before dotnet run; add FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT to .env; install Azure.AI.AgentServer.Responses/Invocations (prerelease) or add the Python protocol library to requirements.txt.
Option: Run via azd or Production env [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. azd ai agent run
2. or ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production dotnet run
Expected: Agent starts locally
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
