Azure DevOps setup-azd release fails to resolve tfx-cli 0.23.x

[vhvb1989]

Description

The Azure DevOps setup-azd extension release pipeline failed while installing tfx-cli, before the extension could be published.

EngSys has been notified and is investigating. This issue tracks the failure and the work needed to unblock the release.

Failure

• Pipeline: azure-dev - azdo-extension
• Build: 6663602
• Stage/job: PublishManual / Publish_Release
• Task: TfxInstaller@5 (5.0.549), Install tfx-cli for release
• Error:

##[error]Unable to find Tfx version '0.23.x'

The pipeline requests version: 0.23.x in eng/pipelines/templates/stages/azuredevops-publish-manual.yml. npm currently lists published 0.23.x versions, including 0.23.4, so this appears to be a resolution/download issue in the release task or its environment rather than a missing npm package.

Expected behavior

The release job installs a compatible tfx-cli version and proceeds to publish the signed VSIX.

Follow-up

• EngSys determines why TfxInstaller@5 cannot resolve 0.23.x.
• Apply the recommended pipeline/task fix or workaround.
• Rerun the setup-azd extension release and confirm publication succeeds.
