|---|---|---|
| MCP tool error or not available | Tool call timeout, connection error, or tool doesn't exist | Retry once; fall back to reference files and notify user if unresolved |
| Plan approval missing | meta.status is not approved | Stop and prompt user for approval before IaC generation or deployment |
| IaC validation failure | az bicep build or terraform validate returns errors | Fix the generated code and re-validate; notify user if unresolved |
| Pairing constraint violation | Incompatible SKU or resource combination | Fix in plan before proceeding to IaC generation |
| Infra plan or IaC files not found | Files written to wrong location or not created | Verify files exist at <project-root>/.azure/ and <project-root>/infra/; if missing, re-create the files by following workflow.md exactly |
