Verify and troubleshoot

Test with the narrowest supported non-production scope. Confirm that the connection test reaches the expected provider and that the preview or receipt matches the intended scope. Check identity, credential references, network access and provider permissions before retrying. Record the failure stage and redact sensitive payloads when escalating.
