Summary

Update the public CODA Preview from v0.12.1 to v0.17.1.

• Prefer five-minute data-plane logs for DX-003, DX-010, and optional DX-016 enrichment. Queries use represented request counts and total RU rather than aggregate row counts or unweighted averages, retain the selected source and exact observation window, and preserve raw-log compatibility. Detection and severity thresholds are unchanged.
• Add optional Run Pre-Checks for ARM access, Azure Resource Graph discovery, Azure Monitor metrics, Log Analytics configuration/data, and subscription Cost Management access. Resource Graph uses the same SDK credential as diagnosis and pre-checks; warnings do not prevent analysis with other available sources.
• Add copy-only, scoped PowerShell and administrator requests that preserve the original requester and scope. Scripts preview by default and require explicit -Apply when run outside CODA. CODA remains read-only: it never executes these scripts or changes Azure resources.
• Preserve reasons for unavailable dollar savings, including Cost Management rate limiting, in reports, JSON/MCP output, and group scans without invalidating recoverable RU/s findings or inflating detector/resource failure counts.
• Improve log/readiness guidance and package portability, including deeply nested Windows package-smoke paths without requiring machine-wide long-path settings.

Changelog

Review the cumulative v0.17.1 changelog, covering changes since public v0.12.1. The changelog will continue to be maintained for subsequent releases.

Preview limitations

• This remains a Preview. Fresh all-detector live acceptance and signed-in manual Azure Portal-link verification are deferred; package checks do not establish that either has passed.
• DX-002 and DX-007 still require raw CDBDataPlaneRequests plus CDBQueryRuntimeStatistics for activity-level query cost and fan-out correlation; five-minute data-plane logs do not replace this evidence.
• Readable logs do not establish complete history or sufficient workload coverage. Local measurements are not customer latency guarantees.
• This update introduces no hosted CODA service, automatic remediation, or PyPI publication.
