      "<NAME> (required): AI Search instance name; must be unique within its namespace.",
      "--type: Source type; use `web-crawler` for a website.",
      "--source: Data source identifier: R2 bucket name or website URL.",
      "--parse-type: Website URL discovery method; `discover` follows links recursively, while `sitemap` reads XML sitemaps. Documented as for `--type web-crawler` only; defaults to `sitemap`.",
      "Prerequisite: Install Wrangler before using the CLI.",
      "`--parse-type` is valid only with `--type web-crawler`; it is rejected with `--type builtin` or `--type r2`.",
      "The interactive wizard offers `Discover` alongside `Sitemap`.",
      "When the flag is omitted in non-interactive mode, the field is left unset and the API default (`sitemap`) applies."

  "why_it_matters": "Create a scripted web-crawler AI Search instance that discovers URLs by following links.",
  "before": "The release note says the parse type could only be chosen through the interactive wizard, which was skipped when `--source` was supplied; scripted creation of a `discover` instance was therefore unavailable.",
