Migrate first 10 alphabetical SDK packages from setup.py to pyproject.toml

[Copilot]

Converts the first 10 packages alphabetically in the SDK repo to use pyproject.toml as the build system, removing setup.py where applicable.

Packages migrated (5 of 10 needed changes)

Package	Location
azure-agrifood-farming	sdk/agrifood/azure-agrifood-farming
azure-agrifood-nspkg	sdk/nspkg/azure-agrifood-nspkg
azure-ai-agents	sdk/ai/azure-ai-agents
azure-ai-anomalydetector	sdk/anomalydetector/azure-ai-anomalydetector
azure-ai-contentsafety	sdk/contentsafety/azure-ai-contentsafety

The remaining 5 were skipped: azure-ai-agentserver-{agentframework,core,langgraph} and azure-ai-contentunderstanding were already pyproject.toml-only, and azure (sdk/core/azure) is excluded as it has special install-time behavior that requires retaining setup.py.

What changed per package

• Added [build-system], [project], [tool.setuptools.dynamic], [tool.setuptools.packages.find], and [tool.setuptools.package-data] sections to each pyproject.toml
• Preserved all existing tool config ([tool.azure-sdk-build], [tool.azure-sdk-conda], [tool.mypy], [tool.isort], etc.)
• Deleted setup.py
• For azure-agrifood-nspkg (namespace package with no prior pyproject.toml), created the file from scratch with explicit [tool.setuptools] packages = ["azure.agrifood"]

Format

Follows the existing pattern from already-migrated packages (azure-ai-contentunderstanding, azure-batch, etc.): license = "MIT" SPDX expression (no separate License classifier), dynamic = ["version", "readme"] resolved via _version.py attr and README.md/CHANGELOG.md files.

[project] doesn’t declare requires-python, but this package has historically produced a universal wheel (see setup.cfg’s bdist_wheel universal=1). Without requires-python, pip may consider the wheel installable on unsupported interpreters (and the classifiers here now say “Python :: 3 :: Only”). Add an explicit requires-python matching the intended support range to keep packaging metadata consistent and prevent accidental installs on incompatible Python versions.

[Copilot]

The legacy azure meta-package previously raised a RuntimeError on install (only allowing sdist builds), which prevented users from accidentally installing a deprecated/empty package. With setup.py removed, this pyproject.toml will allow building/installing the distribution normally, changing that long-standing behavior and likely reintroducing user confusion. Consider preserving the install-time failure behavior (or another explicit guard) so pip install azure still fails with the deprecation guidance message.

@copilot lets remove our core/azure changes

Done — reverted the sdk/core/azure changes in commit 88374ec. The setup.py is restored and pyproject.toml is back to its original state for that package.
