      "--installed: For list, lists installed extensions.",
      "Prerequisite: When registration needs a source name, install prompts for a name; URLs also require confirmation. Under `--no-prompt`, registering a source from a location is not allowed; add the source first with `azd extension source add`.",
      "Docs conflict: The release note says `azd extension list -s <location>` validates and persists the location before resolving the extension. Current official docs say list queries locations read-only and does not register them. The current docs are newer than version 1.27.0."
