The user wants to watch resources being created in real time. ## Generate via PowerShell — NEVER construct manually The `%2F` encoding is critical and models consistently decode it back to `/` during text generation, producing broken links. Always use `.Replace('/', '%2F')`. ```powershell # Subscription-scope deployment $deploymentName = "app-onboard-deploy-$("{sessionId}".Substring(0,8))" $resId = "/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/$deploymentName" $link = "https://portal.azure.com/#view/HubsExtension/DeploymentDetailsBlade/~/overview/id/$($resId.Replace('/', '%2F'))" Write-Output "LINK=$link" ``` Read `LINK=` from terminal output and print the URL in chat on its own bare line — no backticks, no markdown. Then deploy: ```powershell az deployment sub create --name $deploymentName --subscription {subscriptionId} --location {location} --template-file infra/main.bicep --parameters @infra/main.parameters.json ``` ### RG-scope (403 fallback) Use `az deployment group create --name $deploymentName --resource-group {rg}` and adjust `$resId` to include `/resourceGroups/{rg}`: ```powershell $resId = "/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{rg}/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/$deploymentName" $link = "https://portal.azure.com/#view/HubsExtension/DeploymentDetailsBlade/~/overview/id/$($resId.Replace('/', '%2F'))" Write-Output "LINK=$link" ``` For Terraform (no single ARM deployment): `https://portal.azure.com/#@{tenantId}/resource/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroup}/activitylog` > 💡 Resolve `{subscriptionId}` and `{resourceGroup}` from `context.json`. For Terraform, resolve `{tenantId}` via `az account show --query tenantId -o tsv`. ## Same-Scope Retries vs New Names The portal link stays valid for same-scope retries — ARM overwrites in-place. Generate a new name (e.g., `$deploymentName = "app-onboard-deploy-{first8}-2"`) **only** when scope or RG changes. ## Chat Output Rules 1. **Terminal command:** the PowerShell snippet above (outputs the bare URL via `Write-Output "LINK=..."`). ⛔ **Do NOT auto-open the link in a browser** — never call `Start-Process` (or any browser-launching command) on the portal URL. Just print it so the user can open it if they choose. 2. **Read the terminal output** — find the line starting with `LINK=` and extract the URL 3. **Chat output:** paste the bare URL on its own line — no backticks, no markdown, no emoji on the same line ⛔ **Link must be ctrl+clickable.** The URL MUST be the ONLY content on its line — no emoji, no text, no backticks, no markdown formatting, no markdown link syntax on the same line. Terminals auto-linkify bare URLs but ONLY when the URL is alone on the line. ⛔ **Emit a NEW link whenever deployment name changes.** When healing causes a redeploy with a different `--name`, you MUST re-run the PowerShell snippet with the new name and print the new link: ``` ⚠️ Previous deployment link is stale — use this one: https://portal.azure.com/.../{newDeploymentName} ```
