-- Prefer what-if, dry-run, preview, describe, status, plan, and rollback evidence before mutation.
-- If the target, approval state, or rollback posture is ambiguous, stop and say so.
-- Keep outputs short: target, approval status, evidence, action, rollback, verification, open risks.

+# Azure Live App Service Slot Swap Guard Agent Operations
+
+> Version note: Azure App Service slot behavior, swap limitations, permissions, and warmup controls change. Verify exact behavior against Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP and any sampled configured-environment evidence before production use. Do not paste credentials, tokens, tenant identifiers, subscription identifiers, connection strings, certificates, private keys, publish profiles, or customer data into prompts, commands, or reference examples.
+
+## What people get wrong
+
+- Treating a slot swap as a simple traffic flip instead of a configuration apply, restart, warmup, and routing operation.
+- Forgetting that some settings swap while others stay slot-specific, causing production to run with unintended configuration.
+- Skipping swap with preview for mission-critical apps even though it lets the source run with target settings before completion.
+- Assuming warmup is healthy because the root path returned anything, while the real health endpoint is untested.
+- Completing a pending swap without reset and immediate re-swap rollback options.
+
+## Officially grounded service shape
+
+- App Service deployment slots are live apps with their own host names, available on supported App Service plan tiers.
+- During a swap, App Service applies target-slot settings to source-slot instances, restarts the source, waits for availability, warms instances, and then switches routing.
+- Swap with preview pauses after the first phase so operators can validate the source slot with target-slot settings before completing or resetting.
+- Some settings are swapped and some are not; slot-specific settings, identities, custom domains, TLS settings, scale settings, diagnostic settings, IP restrictions, Always On, and VNet integration need explicit review.
+- Custom warmup can use application initialization or app settings such as `WEBSITE_SWAP_WARMUP_PING_PATH` and `WEBSITE_SWAP_WARMUP_PING_STATUSES`; bad warmup rules can stop a swap.
+
+That is the key insight:
+
+> The agent is a live production gate. It must prove the swap target, sticky-settings diff, warmup evidence, preview state, approval, and rollback path before allowing final completion.
+
+## Non-negotiable design rules
+
+### 1. Never complete a production swap without target-slot confirmation, preview evidence where supported, approval, and rollback posture.
+
+### 2. Treat sticky settings, connection strings, managed identity, VNet integration, auth, custom domains, and TLS as production-risk boundaries.
+
+### 3. Block final commit when warmup or health probes are missing, broad, or contradictory.
+
+### 4. Prefer read-only slot inventory, config diff, activity log, health checks, and preview state before mutation.
+
+### 5. Label configured-environment observations as sampled and bounded to the app, slot pair, and time window.
+
+## Minimal safe implementation flow
+
+- Confirm app, source slot, production target slot, desired action, approval state, rollback owner, and health endpoint.
+- Ground swap behavior and limitations in Microsoft Learn App Service deployment slot guidance.
+- Collect read-only evidence for slot list, app settings stickiness, connection strings, auth, identity, networking, warmup settings, current routing, and recent swap activity.
+- Decide: preview, complete, reset, re-swap, or block; if action is live, require explicit human approval.
+- Verify post-action production health, activity log status, routing, and open risks.
+
+## High-risk assumptions to kill
+
+- Production is the target because the slot name looks familiar.
+- Sticky settings are correct because the app starts.
+- A 200 on `/` proves the workload dependency path is healthy.
+- Swap with preview is available in every app configuration.
+- Documentation proves this app's slot state, approval, or rollback readiness.
+
+## Safe command/code verification targets
+
+Verify against current docs and safe local or read-only tooling before use:
+
+- App identity, slot inventory, source/target pair, App Service plan tier, and production target designation.
+- App settings, connection strings, slot-setting flags, auth, managed identity, VNet integration, custom domains, TLS, IP restrictions, diagnostic settings, and scale settings.
+- Warmup path, expected statuses, application initialization, root-path fallback behavior, recent restarts, and activity log swap events.
+- Pending preview state, reset command target, complete command target, immediate rollback command target, and post-swap health checks.
+- Approval record, impact summary, maintenance window, rollback owner, and verification evidence.
+
+## When to push back
+
+- The source slot, target slot, approval state, or rollback owner is ambiguous.
+- Sticky-setting or warmup evidence is missing for production-impacting apps.
+- The user wants to paste publish profiles, connection strings, tokens, certificates, or raw environment dumps.
+- The requested action would complete or reset a live swap without evidence and explicit approval.

+- configured documentation MCP evidence
+- read-only configured-environment evidence, when a client exposes safe discovery tools
+
+## Evidence ordering

+3. Sanitized user evidence for workload-specific context.
+4. Clearly labeled inference only when evidence is incomplete.

+- Documentation does not prove any tenant, subscription, quota, RBAC, deployment, or incident state.
+- A sampled tool result does not prove broad regional availability or full account posture.

-`deploymentStacks/delete` is in `NotActions` above. Stack deletion requires a **separate
-PIM-eligible role** (see below) activated only for confirmed decommission windows.
-
-### PIM-elevated delete role (activate only for planned decommission)
-
-```json
-{
-  "Name": "ARM Deployment Stack Delete (PIM)",
-  "IsCustom": true,
-  "Description": "Stack deletion only. Must be PIM-activated with approval and time-bound to a decommission window.",
-  "Actions": [
-    "Microsoft.Resources/deploymentStacks/read",
-    "Microsoft.Resources/deploymentStacks/delete"
-  ],
-  "NotActions": [],
-  "AssignableScopes": [
-    "/subscriptions/<SUBSCRIPTION_ID>/resourceGroups/<TARGET_RG>"
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Assign this role as **PIM-eligible** (not permanent active). Require manager approval
-and a maximum 2-hour activation window. Never combine with `deploymentStacks/write` in
-the same PIM activation unless you are replacing a stack.
-
-For each resource type touched by the template, add the matching write action, e.g.
-`Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/write` for VMs. This is unavoidable — what-if requires it.
-
-## Deployment Stacks denySettings
-
-Recommended default for production stacks:
-
-```bash
-az deployment-stack group create \
-  --deny-settings-mode denyDelete \
-  --deny-settings-apply-to-child-scopes \
-  ...
-```
-
-`denyDelete` generates a platform-enforced `denyAssignment` on all managed resources.
-`denyWriteAndDelete` is stricter — use for compliance-mandated immutable resources.
-
-## Do not assign
-
-- `Owner` at subscription scope
-- `Contributor` at management-group scope
-- Broad `Microsoft.Resources/*` wildcards
-- `Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write` (privilege escalation risk)
+Use the least privilege required for Azure Live ARM Deployment Stack Guard work.
 
+- Prefer read-only discovery before any live action.
+- Require explicit human approval before mutations, deletes, privilege changes, secret-bearing reads, or production-impacting operations.
+- Do not request credentials, tokens, tenant identifiers, subscription identifiers, connection strings, certificates, private keys, kubeconfigs, or customer data.
+- Use Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP for Azure service behavior, and label configured-environment observations as sampled evidence.
+- Scope any temporary elevated permission to the exact target, action, and time window.

-# ARM Deployment Stack — Preflight Commands
+# Preflight
 
-Run all of these before executing any live ARM or Deployment Stack change.
+Before Azure Live ARM Deployment Stack Guard live action:
 
-## 1. Confirm identity and active subscription
-
-```bash
-az account show --query "{sub:id, tenant:tenantId, user:user.name, env:environmentName}"
-```
-
-## 2. What-if on ARM / Bicep template
-
-```bash
-az deployment group what-if \
-  --resource-group <TARGET_RG> \
-  --template-file main.bicep \
-  --parameters @params.prod.json \
-  --result-format FullResourcePayloads
-```
-
-Stop if what-if shows unexpected deletions or replacements. Deletions require separate approval.
-
-## 3. Inspect current Deployment Stack state
-
-```bash
-az deployment-stack group show \
-  --name <STACK_NAME> \
-  --resource-group <TARGET_RG> \
-  --query "{state:provisioningState, denySettings:denySettings, resourceCount:length(resources)}"
-```
-
-## 4. Review deny assignments on target scope
-
-```bash
-az role assignment list \
-  --resource-group <TARGET_RG> \
-  --include-deny \
-  --query "[?type=='Microsoft.Authorization/denyAssignments'].{name:name,actions:denyAssignmentPermissions[0].actions}"
-```
-
-## 5. Validate template syntax
-
-```bash
-az deployment group validate \
-  --resource-group <TARGET_RG> \
-  --template-file main.bicep \
-  --parameters @params.prod.json
-```
+1. Confirm target scope, resource, desired action, expected impact, approval state, and rollback owner.
+2. Review `references/arm-deployment-stack-agent-operations.md`, `references/official-sources.md`, and `references/safety-checklist.md`.
+3. Collect read-only evidence first and label it as sampled configured-environment evidence.
+4. Verify rollback or disablement path before any mutation.
+5. Block if target, approval, evidence, or rollback posture is ambiguous.
