    "incantation": "When deploying a Docker-based service to App Service, set `host: appservice` and `language: docker` or `docker.path`. Then run `azd deploy <service>` to build and push the image to ACR and update the site’s container image reference.",
    "examples": [
      "services:\n  <service>:\n    project: ./src/web\n    host: appservice\n    language: docker\n    docker:\n      path: ./Dockerfile",

    "gotchas": [
      "Version: 1.27.0",
      "`host` (required): Set to `appservice` for Azure App Service.",
      "`project` (required): Path to the service source directory when building the image from source.",
      "`language`: Set to `docker` to trigger container mode; alternatively, set `docker.path`.",
      "`docker.path`: Path to the Dockerfile; setting it triggers container mode on the App Service host. The docs do not state that it is mutually exclusive with `language: docker`.",
      "`<service>` (required): Service name from `azure.yaml` to deploy.",
      "Prerequisite: The App Service site must already be provisioned as a Linux container app; `azd deploy` does not provision or configure infrastructure.",
      "Prerequisite: Infrastructure must configure a Linux App Service plan, a container-ready `linuxFxVersion` using `DOCKER|`, a single container, and user-assigned managed identity access to ACR.",
      "Prerequisite: Infrastructure must define the ACR instance used for the image push.",
      "This applies to services configured with `host: appservice` and `language: docker` or `docker.path`."
