## Title

    [Foundry hosted agent local dev] C# 'Cannot resolve scoped service ... Handler from root provider' on dotnet run; 'FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT not set'

## Body

    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
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-ai-docs/d9568cdc285118df903f65aa86303d075cc5c1d1/articles/foundry/agents/quickstarts/quickstart-deploy-own-code.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Troubleshooting table: causes/solutions for scoped service error, FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT not set, missing packages, port 8088.
