Trigger phrases:

• "Create a preview environment for the current branch"
• "Create a PR environment for PR-123"
• "Set up preview environments for my project"
• "Clone my environment for this feature branch"
• "I want to test my PR in isolation"
• "Preview this branch on Qovery"
• "Create a temporary environment for my feature"
• /qovery-preview (slash command)

Workflow checklist

Preview Environment Progress:
- [ ] Phase 1 — Context gathering (auth, PR/branch detection, org/cluster, blueprint check)
- [ ] Phase 2 — Create or find a blueprint environment
- [ ] Phase 3 — Clone the blueprint into the preview environment
- [ ] Phase 4 — Configure auto-shutdown (stop / delete / recycle)
- [ ] Phase 5 — Deployment plan summary + USER CONFIRMATION
- [ ] Phase 6 — Deploy & verify
- [ ] Phase 7 — Cleanup & lifecycle management
