      "Prerequisite: You can manage repositories you own or repositories in organizations where you have write permission.",
      "Templates come from the official Hub template set.",
      "Templates recommended as private, such as JupyterLab, are created privately by default unless visibility is explicitly chosen.",
      "Docs conflict: Newer docs say `space_sdk` is still required for the SDK API, while the v1.23.0 release note says the SDK is inferred from the template. This concerns the SDK API; it does not establish a CLI conflict."
