Use when asked to: "diagnose deployment", "debug deployment", "deployment failed", "show deployment errors", "fix deployment issues", "show upload logs", "why did my deploy fail", or "troubleshoot upload".

Ensures the tenant has a usable Power Platform Pipelines host environment before any pipeline operation runs. Detects host state via the same resolution order as the Power Apps UI (org-db setting → BAP env metadata → default-custom-host setting); if any existing host (Platform or Custom) is found, uses it. If no host is bound to the source env, provisions a new **Platform Host** (recommended, idempotent) or a **Custom Host** via the BAP env-create API with the `D365_ProjectHost` template, or ...

Exports a Dataverse solution containing Power Pages site components as a zip file, ready for deployment to another environment. Use when asked to: "export solution", "download solution", "export managed", "export unmanaged", "package for deployment", "create solution zip", "export site package", or "build deployment artifact".

Force-links a development or target environment to a Power Platform Pipelines host, overriding any existing association with a previous host. Use when creating a deploymentenvironments record fails with "this environment is already associated with another pipelines host", or when intentionally migrating an environment from one host to another (e.g., Platform Host → Custom Host, or between two Custom Hosts). Calls the documented `ManageEnvironmentStamp` Dataverse action (the API behind the "Fo...
