    "incantation": "When working with Bicep snapshots or forwarding a command to the Bicep CLI, use `az bicep snapshot` or `az bicep run` with the documented arguments.",

    "gotchas": [
      "Version: 2.88.0",
      "snapshot --file (-f) (required): Path to the .bicepparam file to snapshot.",
      "snapshot --mode: Snapshot mode: `Overwrite` (default) writes the snapshot; `Validate` compares the existing snapshot and fails if differences are detected. Allowed values are mutually exclusive.",
      "snapshot --deployment-name: Deployment context used to resolve `existing` references during snapshot capture.",
      "snapshot --location (-l): Location in the deployment context used to resolve `existing` references during snapshot capture.",
      "snapshot --management-group-id: Management group ID in the deployment context used to resolve `existing` references during snapshot capture.",
      "snapshot --resource-group (-g): Resource group name in the deployment context used to resolve `existing` references during snapshot capture.",
      "snapshot --subscription-id: Subscription ID in the deployment context used to resolve `existing` references; does not change Azure CLI authentication context.",
      "snapshot --tenant-id: Tenant ID in the deployment context used to resolve `existing` references; does not change Azure CLI authentication context.",
      "run --command (-c) (required): Bicep CLI command and arguments as one quoted string. For a forwarded command starting with `--`, use `--command=<value>`.",
      "Prerequisite: `az bicep snapshot` requires Bicep CLI v0.41.2 or later.",
      "Docs conflict: The Azure CLI reference documents `az bicep snapshot`; the Bicep CLI commands page says `az bicep snapshot` does not exist and instructs running `bicep snapshot` directly. The Azure CLI reference matches the card's interface: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/bicep/bicep-cli"
