   • Run /doctor to verify prerequisites.

2. Authentication

   • Run azd auth login to ensure the session is active.
   • Tip: If the user says they are already logged in, you can verify with azd auth show-status (if available) or proceed.

// turbo 3. Deploy

• Run azd up to provision resources and deploy the code.
• This command may take several minutes.
• Be ready to handle prompts if SafeToAutoRun is not enabled.

1. Verify Deployment
   • Upon success, run azd show to retrieve the public endpoints.
   • Display the webfrontend URL to the user so they can access their deployed app.
