description	Use when stabilizing CloudShell behavior, closing MVP gaps, hardening validation, fixing resource manager state behavior, improving tests, or making samples reliable.

CloudShell Stabilization

Use this workflow for MVP hardening, regression fixes, validation gaps, state coverage, sample reliability, and API/client contract stability.

Required context

Read these first:

docs/goal.md
CONTRIBUTIONS.md
docs/features.md
ADR.md
CHANGELOG.md
docs/system-design-guidelines.md
docs/domain-model.md
docs/artifact-implementation-guidelines.md
relevant files under docs/proposals/ when the stabilization changes proposal status, scope, or remaining tasks

Then inspect the current code and tests around the failing or weak behavior.

Workflow

Reproduce or characterize the behavior gap.
Identify the owning layer and add or update tests there:
- Control Plane service tests for internal resource behavior
- client/API contract tests for HTTP shape, auth, error responses, and remote mapping
- sample tests for hosted scenarios
- abstraction tests for extension DSL and public contracts
For resource-type stabilization, check the full implementation chain in docs/artifact-implementation-guidelines.md: contribution, provider, projected shape, Control Plane behavior, authoring surfaces, API/client projection, shell UI, tests, samples, and docs.
Fix the smallest implementation surface that owns the behavior.
Prefer stable validation messages and ProblemDetails over leaked runtime exception details.
Prefer result objects or diagnostics for expected domain validation outcomes; reserve exceptions for programmer errors or boundary adapters that must translate invalid commands into API errors.
Update ADR.md when stabilization changes a durable product or architecture decision. Update CHANGELOG.md when stabilized behavior lands or verification expectations change.
Treat docs/roadmap.md as authoritative for milestone scope and the current task queue, and docs/proposals/README.md as authoritative for proposal status. Keep those files, ADR.md, CHANGELOG.md, and the relevant proposal documents in sync when stabilization completes proposal work, changes proposal order, changes MVP scope, or creates new remaining tasks.
When stabilization completes or verifies implemented behavior that was described in a proposal, move or port the durable behavior and concrete details into the relevant feature or specification docs. If those docs already describe the implementation, link to them from the proposal and remove duplicated landed detail. Keep proposals focused on remaining stabilization work, open decisions, migration tasks, and deferred ideas. Verify proposal claims against the current code before converting them into feature/spec documentation.
When stabilization affects provider, extension, launcher, or language SDK parity, update the feature/spec docs with the required behavior and any intentional non-parity. Include contracts, authoring surfaces, API/client/UI projection, diagnostics, security, persistence/lifecycle behavior, and known gaps so future integrations can stay aligned.
Review proposal Mermaid diagrams when stabilizing or documenting completed behavior. Move valid current diagrams into feature/spec docs, update stale diagrams before moving them, and leave proposal diagrams only for active stabilization options, migration choices, or deferred ideas.
Follow CONTRIBUTIONS.md for verification, changelog, ADR, commit, and push expectations. Run the verification baseline from AGENTS.md before committing cross-boundary stabilization work. Commit only files owned by the current chat or thread. Leave pure documentation changes uncommitted and unpushed unless the user explicitly asks to land the reviewed documentation slice.

Stabilization priorities

Focus first on:

Resource Manager behavior across resource states.
Resource action and capability signaling.
Registration, dependency, group, and parent/child validation.
Split-hosting and combined-hosting sample viability.
API/OpenAPI compatibility with the intended domain projection.
