    "incantation": "When `infra.provider` is unset, run `azd provision` to provision from the project’s infrastructure files; for automatic Bicep or Terraform detection, use azd v1.23.0 or later. If both file types are present, set `infra.provider` explicitly.",

      "infra.provider: Infrastructure provisioning provider; documented values include `bicep` and `terraform`.",
      "Prerequisite: Use Azure Developer CLI v1.23.0 or later for the release-note-described auto-detection.",
      "Prerequisite: `azure.yaml` belongs at the project root and configures project infrastructure; the `infra` directory contains infrastructure files.",
      "Detection scans the infra directory and ignores subdirectories.",
      "If both Bicep and Terraform file types are present, explicit configuration is required.",
      "Docs conflict: The current schema docs state that the default provider is Bicep; they do not document the v1.23.0 file-based auto-detection behavior. The v1.23.0 source is the version-specific evidence for that behavior."
