Instructs users to run az bicep install/az bicep version (or provide a standalone bicep binary) before invoking azd up.
Reduces dependency on ad-hoc downloads during deployment and ensures consistent Bicep versions in all environments.
Why It’s Important
azd up must compile every file under infra/*.bicep before provisioning. When Bicep isn’t installed locally, azd tries to download a pinned binary (v0.38.33) from downloads.bicep.azure.com. In constrained environments (Codespaces, corporate networks, intermittent connectivity) that download frequently fails, producing the failed resolving IaC provider 'bicep' error and blocking all deployments.
Users currently have no warning that Bicep is required upfront, so the failure surfaces only after several minutes of provisioning work, costing time and contributing to false “azd” troubleshooting reports.
