    "incantation": "When deploying selected stacks, prefix each stack pattern to exclude with `!` and quote it so the shell preserves it. CDK removes stacks matched by exclusion patterns from the selected stacks.",

      "cdk deploy '<include-pattern>' '!<exclude-pattern>'",
      "cdk deploy '**' '!<exclude-pattern>'"

    "gotchas": [
      "Version: 2.1141.0",
      "<include-pattern>: Stack ID pattern to select. `*` matches one hierarchy level; `**` matches any depth. If only `!` patterns are supplied, they apply to every stack.",
      "!<exclude-pattern>: Excludes stacks matched by the pattern. Quote it so the shell preserves `!`; multiple patterns can be combined.",
      "--exclusively (-e): For `cdk deploy`, skips dependencies of selected stacks; use if an excluded stack is otherwise needed as a dependency.",
      "Prerequisite: Requires Node.js or another JavaScript runtime; minimum supported Node.js version is 18."
