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.
