## Title

    [Foundry hosted agents] 403 'session_not_accessible' / 403 with x-ms-user-identity / 'cannot delete session' — per-user session isolation

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Sessions are isolated per identity/isolation key; UserIdentityImpersonation is no longer granted by built-in roles; local runs don't enforce isolation (so tests pass locally).
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Misleading approaches:
    - Validating isolation with local azd ai agent run; local mode doesn't enforce it.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - UserIdentityImpersonation
