Description

## Goal

Add first-class azd support for Hosted Voice Agents while preserving the existing Hosted Agent and `invocations_ws` experience.

## User experience

### Initialize from a sample manifest

```powershell
azd ai agent init -m
azd provision
azd deploy
```

### Add existing source to an azd project

```powershell
cd
azd ai agent init
azd provision
azd deploy
azd deploy
```

## Requirements

- Generate/deploy a Hosted Agent target using Voice Bridge Protocol 1.0 over `invocations_ws/1.0.0`.
- Generate/deploy a Voice wrapper with `model_type=hosted_agent` and a pinned target version.
- Reuse normal project/model selection, package, publish, provision, deploy, show, doctor, and delete behavior.
- Support standard Agent Manifest initialization from an empty folder and local-manifest detection in an existing project.
- Validate target project, status, protocol, and Voice Bridge metadata before wrapper deployment.
- Preserve unrelated services when adding Hosted Voice to an existing azd project.

## Sample

Current source:

- Repository: `https://speedme.visualstudio.com/TextToSpeech/_git/voice-first-agent-dev`
- Path: `samples/voice-hosted-agent/voice-hosted-agent-dotnet`

A public GitHub Agent Manifest URL remains a follow-up for sample publication.

## Validation

- Unit, lint, schema, and cross-platform build coverage.
- Empty-folder manifest initialization.
- Existing-source/project initialization.
- West US 2 target/wrapper deployment.
- Typed `/help` routing through the wrapper.
- Real audio STT -> target -> TTS.
- Portal and sample Dashboard validation.

Research direction

Start with the azd ai agent init, provision, and deploy entry points and compare the existing Hosted Agent and invocations_ws behavior. Use samples/voice-hosted-agent/voice-hosted-agent-dotnet as the integration reference. Done includes manifest initialization, target and wrapper validation, deployment, preserved services, and the listed unit, schema, build, audio, and Dashboard checks.
