Python: Bug: retry_machanism is not used

[CBumann]

Describe the bug The Kernel class has a property retry_mechnism.

This is intended to be set to a Implementation of RetryMechanismBase from the semantic_kernel.reliability extension to handle the retry logic. However this property seems to never be used, leaving us unable to handle retries in the intended way. This was tested both with the kernel.invoke functions as well as with get_chat_message_content.

To Reproduce

1. Create Implementation of RetryMechanismBase
2. Initialize in Kernel
3. Run Chat Completion or function invoke Code Sample to reproduce:

   
   from semantic_kernel import Kernel
   from semantic_kernel.reliability.retry_mechanism_base import RetryMechanismBase
   from typing import Awaitable, Callable, TypeVar
   from semantic_kernel.connectors.ai.open_ai import (
   AzureChatCompletion,
   )
   from semantic_kernel.contents.chat_history import ChatHistory
   from semantic_kernel.connectors.ai.prompt_execution_settings import PromptExecutionSettings
   import pytest

T = TypeVar("T")

azure_openai_endpoint = "your-endpoint" azure_openai_key = "your-key" azure_openai_model = "gpt-4o"

class FailingRetryMechanism(RetryMechanismBase): async def execute_with_retry(self, action: Callable[[], Awaitable[T]]) -> T: raise NotImplementedError

kernel = Kernel(retry_mechanism=FailingRetryMechanism()) kernel.add_service( AzureChatCompletion( deployment_name=azure_openai_model, endpoint=azure_openai_endpoint, service_id=azure_openai_model, api_key=azure_openai_key, ), )

chat_completion_service = kernel.get_service(service_id=azure_openai_model)

chat_history = ChatHistory() chat_history.add_user_message("Hello, how are you?")

with pytest.raises(NotImplementedError): response = await chat_completion_service.get_chat_message_content( chat_history=chat_history, settings = PromptExecutionSettings(), )

The test above fails, because FailingRetryMechanism is never used.

**Expected behavior**
The provided retry mechanism should be used..

**Platform**
 - OS:  Windows, Mac
 - IDE: VS Code
 - Language: Python
 - Source:package version 1.9.0

@TaoChenOSU could you have a look at this, please?
