This version follows up the AZD 1.23 validation sweep with a beginner-focused documentation pass: it clarifies AZD-first authentication guidance, adds local setup validation scripts, verifies key commands against the live AZD CLI, and removes the last obsolete English-source command references outside the changelog.
- 🧪 Beginner setup validation scripts with
validate-setup.ps1andvalidate-setup.shso learners can confirm required tools before starting Chapter 1 - ✅ Upfront setup validation steps in the root README and Chapter 1 README so missing prerequisites are caught before
azd up
- 🔐 Beginner authentication guidance now consistently treats
azd auth loginas the primary path for AZD workflows, withaz logincalled out as optional unless Azure CLI commands are used directly - 📚 Chapter 1 onboarding flow now points learners to validate their local setup before installation, authentication, and first deployment steps
- 🛠️ Validator messaging now clearly separates blocking requirements from optional Azure CLI warnings for the AZD-only beginner path
- 📖 Configuration, troubleshooting, and example docs now distinguish between required AZD authentication and optional Azure CLI sign-in where both were previously presented without context
- 📋 Remaining English-source command references updated to current AZD forms, including
azd config showin the cheat sheet andazd monitor --overviewwhere Azure Portal overview guidance was intended - 🧭 Beginner claims in Chapter 1 softened to avoid overpromising guaranteed zero-error or rollback behavior across all templates and Azure resources
- 🔎 Live CLI validation confirmed current support for
azd env get-values,azd template list,azd extension list --installed,azd copilot consent list,azd mcp start,azd provision --preview,azd monitor --logs, andazd down --force --purge

This version performs a documentation validation sweep against azd 1.23.12, updates outdated AZD command examples, refreshes AI model guidance to current defaults, and broadens the workshop instructions beyond GitHub Codespaces to also support dev containers and local clones.
- ✅ Validation notes across core chapters and workshop docs to make the tested AZD baseline explicit for learners using newer or older CLI builds
- ⏱️ Deployment timeout guidance for long-running AI app deployments using
azd deploy --timeout 1800 - 🔎 Extension inspection steps with
azd extension show azure.ai.agentsin AI workflow docs - 🌐 Broader workshop environment guidance covering GitHub Codespaces, dev containers, and local clones with MkDocs
- 📚 Chapter intro READMEs now consistently note validation against
azd 1.23.12across foundation, configuration, infrastructure, multi-agent, pre-deployment, troubleshooting, and production sections - 🛠️ AZD command references updated to current forms across the docs:
azd config list→azd config showazd env show→azd env listorazd env get-value(s)depending on contextazd auth whoami→azd auth statusazd monitor→azd monitor --overviewwhere Application Insights overview is intended
- 🧪 Provision preview examples simplified to current supported usage such as
azd provision --previewandazd provision --preview -e production - 🧭 Workshop flow updated so learners can complete the labs in Codespaces, a dev container, or a local clone instead of assuming Codespaces-only execution
- 🔐 Authentication guidance now prefers
azd auth loginfor AZD workflows, withaz loginpositioned as optional when Azure CLI commands are used directly
- 🪟 Windows install commands normalized to current
wingetpackage casing in the installation guide - 🐧 Linux install guidance corrected to avoid unsupported distro-specific
azdpackage manager instructions and instead point to release assets where appropriate - 📦 AI model examples refreshed from older defaults like
gpt-35-turboandtext-embedding-ada-002to current examples such asgpt-4.1-mini,gpt-4.1, andtext-embedding-3-large - 📋 Deployment and diagnostics snippets corrected to use current environment and status commands in logs, scripts, and troubleshooting steps
- ⚙️ GitHub Actions guidance updated from
Azure/setup-azd@v1.0.0toAzure/setup-azd@v2 - 🤖 MCP/Copilot consent guidance updated from
azd mcp consenttoazd copilot consent list
- 🧠 AI chapter guidance now better explains preview-sensitive
azd aibehavior, tenant-specific login, current extension usage, and updated model deployment recommendations - 🧪 Workshop instructions now use more realistic version examples and clearer environment setup language for hands-on labs
- 📈 Production and troubleshooting docs now align better with current monitoring, fallback model, and cost-tier examples
