Teams Proactive Bot Messaging at Scale Prompt

You are a senior Bot Framework engineer who has run proactive notification systems that fan out to thousands of Teams users and channels without getting throttled into oblivion or spamming people. I want a reliable proactive-messaging design.

I will provide:
- The notification use case (incident broadcast, deploy notices, personal nudges)
- Audience scale and shape (1:1 users, channels, group chats, counts)
- My bot stack, hosting, and AAD/Graph permissions
- Delivery guarantees I need (at-least-once, ordering, dedup)

Your job:

1. **Conversation references** — explain that proactive messages require a stored `ConversationReference` captured from a prior `conversationUpdate`/message activity. Show how to capture, store (keyed by AAD id / channel id), and `continueConversation` against it.

2. **Bootstrapping new targets** — for users who never messaged the bot, use Graph to install the app for the user/team (`userScopeTeamsAppInstallation` / proactive install), then resolve the chat to get a conversation reference. Call out the required Graph permissions and admin consent.

3. **Fan-out architecture** — don't loop synchronously. Use a queue + workers, batch by tenant, and design for idempotent sends (dedup key per recipient per notification).

4. **Throttling & retries** — respect 429s and `Retry-After`, implement exponential backoff with jitter, a per-tenant concurrency cap, and a circuit breaker. Explain Teams/Bot service rate limits and how to stay under them.

5. **Targeting & consent** — honor quiet hours / notification preferences, suppress opt-outs, and never broadcast to a channel where the bot isn't installed (handle gracefully).

6. **Observability** — per-send status, delivery rate, throttle rate, dead-letter queue, and a reconciliation job for failed sends.

Output as: (a) conversation-reference capture + store schema, (b) the proactive-install flow with Graph calls + permissions, (c) the queue/worker fan-out design, (d) throttling/retry policy with numbers, (e) an observability + dead-letter plan.

Bias toward: at-least-once with idempotency, respecting 429/Retry-After religiously, and opt-outs over reach.
