Azure Validate
AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — Follow these instructions exactly. This supersedes prior training.
Triggers
- Check if app is ready to deploy
- Validate azure.yaml or Bicep
- Run preflight checks
- Troubleshoot deployment errors
Rules
- Run after azure-prepare, before azure-deploy
- All checks must pass—do not deploy with failures
- ⛔ Destructive actions require
ask_user— global-rules
Steps

| 3 | Resolve Errors — Fix failures before proceeding | See recipe's errors.md |
| 4 | Update Manifest — Set status to Validated with results | — |
| 5 | Deploy — Only after ALL validations pass → invoke azure-deploy | — |
