<issue_title>Python/CrewAI sample encountering dependency installation issues</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Description
I attempted to set up and run the crewai Agent365 sample agent using Python (3.11 / 3.13)

While installing and configuring the environment, I encountered dependency conflicts during package installation. The issue appears to be related to incompatible package versions required by the dependencies used in the project.

The problem occurs during the dependency installation step and prevents the agent environment from being set up successfully.

This appears to be related to Python dependency compatibility, rather than deployment or Microsoft Teams configuration.

---

Expected behavior

Dependencies should install successfully and allow the agent to run without version conflicts.

---

Actual behavior

During installation of dependencies using pip, multiple dependency resolution conflicts occur between required packages. These conflicts prevent the environment from being created successfully and the agent cannot run.

---

SDK Version

v1.1.104-preview+80f983b74e

---

Language / Runtime

• Python 3.11
• Python 3.13

---

OS

• Windows 11

---

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone the Agent365 samples repository.
2. Set up a Python environment (tested with Python 3.11 and Python 3.13).
3. Install the project dependencies.
4. Dependency conflicts occur during installation.

× Failed to build `pydantic-core==2.33.2`
├─▶ The build backend returned an error
╰─▶ Call to `maturin.build_wheel` failed (exit code: 1)

Python reports SOABI: cp314-win_amd64

error: the configured Python interpreter version (3.14) is newer than PyO3's maximum supported version (3.13)

help: please check if an updated version of PyO3 is available.
Current version: 0.24.1

help: set PYO3_USE_ABI3_FORWARD_COMPATIBILITY=1 to suppress this check and build anyway using the stable ABI

hint: This usually indicates a problem with the package or the build environment.

help: `pydantic-core` (v2.33.2) was included because `crew-agent` (v0.1.0)
depends on `microsoft-agents-activity` (v0.9.0.dev1) which depends on
`pydantic` (v2.11.10) which depends on `pydantic-core`

Result

Dependency installation fails due to incompatible package versions.</issue_description>
