  "how": {
    "incantation": "When an `azure.yaml` hook runs a `.py` file, `azd` detects Python from the extension and runs the script. If `requirements.txt` or `pyproject.toml` is in the script’s directory or a parent directory, `azd` creates a virtual environment and installs dependencies.",

      "hooks:\n  preprovision:\n    run: ./hooks/setup.py"
    ],
    "gotchas": [
      "Version: 1.23.15",
      "hooks.<event>.run (required): Inline script or relative script path; `.py` extension enables Python detection.",
      "hooks.<event>.kind: Executor kind; allowed values include `python`. Omit for extension-based detection.",
      "hooks.<event>.config.virtualEnvName: Python virtual environment directory name override.",
      "Prerequisite: Install `azd` and Python 3.x.",
      "Prerequisite: For automatic dependency installation, put `requirements.txt` or `pyproject.toml` in the script directory or a parent directory."
