    "incantation": "When a program or script needs the current azd environment context, run it with `azd exec`; the documented syntax supplies azd environment variables to the child process. The 1.25.1 release note also says this includes Key Vault secret resolution.",

      "azd exec <program> [args...]",
      "azd exec ./<script>"
    ],
    "gotchas": [
      "Version: 1.25.1",
      "command (required): Program or script to execute.",
      "args...: Arguments passed to the command; multiple arguments use direct process execution without shell wrapping.",
      "-e, --environment <environment>: Name of the environment to use.",
      "-i, --interactive: Connect stdin for interactive mode.",
      "-s, --shell <shell>: Select shell: bash, sh, zsh, pwsh, powershell, or cmd; auto-detected when omitted.",
      "-C, --cwd <directory>: Set the current working directory.",
      "Cross-platform command and script execution engine.",
      "Docs conflict: The current reference page was updated after azd 1.25.1 and documents command parsing and flags that may differ from that release. Its synopsis describes access to azd environment variables; Key Vault secret resolution is stated in the 1.25.1 release note, not this synopsis."
