Testing the Course Samples

Validate that the lesson notebooks and code samples run against a live Microsoft Foundry / Azure OpenAI setup. The repo ships a runner at scripts/validate-notebooks.ps1 that executes every Python notebook headlessly and prints a PASS/FAIL matrix.

When to use

• "Validate all the notebooks / samples against my Azure subscription."
• "Smoke-test the course after upgrading packages or changing models."
• "Which lessons still pass / fail live?"

Do not use this for the AI Smoke Test GitHub Action (that validates deployed hosted agents — see tests/README.md). This skill runs the notebooks locally.
