## API breadth checklist

- Verify client/auth mode for the environment before coding.
- Confirm operation-group/method names against current Microsoft Learn API reference.
- For Python SDKs with both sync and async clients, document both forms without a blanket preference.
- Include cleanup/delete paths for created resources in examples.
- Prefer idempotent create/update operations where available.
- Validate paging/LRO/error-handling patterns for production paths.
