3> **AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE** — Follow these instructions exactly unless they contradict security policies given to you.
4 
5> **⛔ STOP — PREREQUISITE CHECK REQUIRED**
6>
7> Before proceeding, verify this prerequisite is met:
8>
9> **azure-prepare** was invoked and completed → `.azure/deployment-plan.md` exists with status `Approved` or later
10>
11> If the plan is missing, **STOP IMMEDIATELY** and invoke **azure-prepare** first.

17## Triggers
18 
19- Check if app is ready to deploy
20- Validate azure.yaml or Bicep
21- Run preflight checks
22- Troubleshoot deployment errors
23 
24## Rules
25 
261. Run after azure-prepare, before azure-deploy
272. All checks must pass—do not deploy with failures
283. ⛔ **Destructive actions require `ask_user`** — [global-rules](references/global-rules.md)

30## Steps
31 
32Run the workflow script and follow its instructions. It walks you through each validation step one at a time, recording progress in `.azure/validate-status.json`. Use [references/scripts/workflow.ps1](references/scripts/workflow.ps1) on Windows or [references/scripts/workflow.sh](references/scripts/workflow.sh) on macOS/Linux.
33 
34Start by calling the script **without** the completed-step argument:
35 
36```bash
37pwsh references/scripts/workflow.ps1 -WorkspacePath <workspace-path>
38# macOS/Linux: bash references/scripts/workflow.sh --workspace-path <workspace-path>
39```
