Feat: add signin/failure invoke handling

[corinagum]

Resolves #346

Route and handle signin/failure invoke activities that Teams sends when SSO token exchange fails. Adds a system default handler that logs actionable warnings and emits error events, plus a signin.failure route for developer overrides.

Previously, when Teams sent a signin/failure invoke (e.g., due to an SSO misconfiguration), the SDKs silently swallowed the failure with no logging, no error events, and no developer notification. This made SSO configuration issues extremely difficult to diagnose.

User: hi
(No response from app)

The Problem

When a Teams app uses SSO (Single Sign-On) with a Token Exchange URL configured in the OAuth connection settings, Teams attempts a silent token exchange. If this fails -- for example, because the Entra app registration's "Expose an API" configuration doesn't match the Token Exchange URL -- Teams sends a signin/failure invoke activity with details like:

{
  "type": "invoke",
  "name": "signin/failure",
  "value": {
    "code": "resourcematchfailed",
    "message": "Resource match failed"
  }
}

Before this change, none of the three SDKs routed or handled this invoke. The failure was invisible to the user, SDK, and the developer. The user saw no sign-in card, no error message, and no indication of what went wrong.

Now, sign in failures with send a warning, emits error event, and return HTTP 200 by default. Developers can also register custom handlers if desired, for example:

C#:

app.OnFailure(async (context) =>
{
    var failure = context.Activity.Value;
    Console.WriteLine($"Sign-in failed: {failure.Code} - {failure.Message}");
    return new Response(HttpStatusCode.OK);
});

Example log on signin/failure:

[WARNING] @teams/app Sign-in failed for user 29:xxxxx
  in conversation a:1_xxxxx:
  resourcematchfailed — Resource match failed.
  If the code is 'resourcematchfailed', verify that your Entra app registration has 'Expose an API'
  configured with the correct Application ID URI matching your OAuth connection's Token Exchange URL.

Note that the default behavior will still appear to fail silently for the user. There will be logs, but it will be up to the developer to determine how the user experiences the sign-in failure. 'resourcematchfailed' is an example of a setup error, however, and should not be an error that a 'real' user experiences. If desired, we could potentially modify the default behavior to send something to the user, but I'm disinclined to make that decision on the behalf of the developer.

Feature work tested and verified in C#, PY, and TS.

Pull request overview

This PR adds comprehensive handling for signin/failure invoke activities that Teams sends when SSO token exchange fails. Previously, these failures were silently swallowed with no logging or developer notification, making SSO configuration issues extremely difficult to diagnose.

Changes:

• Integrates signin/failure into the activity routing and serialization infrastructure
• Provides OnFailure extension methods with 6 overloads for custom handler registration
• Implements a default system handler that logs actionable warnings and emits error events

@corinagum how is this PR related to #329 ? can we merge this two?

[corinagum]

@rido-min Thanks for pointing it out, I hadn't looked at the PR. Will do so and get back to you.

[corinagum]

@rido-min: the 2 PRs are distinct and can be merged in any order:
#347: Add handling for signin/failure invokes - new failure handling
#329: Fixes StateVerifyQuery deserialization bugs on mobile.

They both modify App.cs, but no overlap.
