What's deployed differently from Gov¶
| Component | Commercial | Gov delta |

Validation¶
After deploy:
# Console URL from azd output
curl -i https://<your-console-url>/api/health
# Expected: {"status":"healthy"}
Then sign in via browser, verify: - Workspaces pane shows the auto-created default-workspace - Catalog shows the canary dataset - Monitoring Hub health green across all pillars
