Inspect instead: Inspect assembly version, registered type, message filters, sandbox mode, image alias and effective solution layer.

Users launch the intended app revision and access only assigned data; a rollback is available. This result validates Code app packaging sharing and deployment instead of the component in question. Here the specific acceptance check is: A failed operation can be traced from frontend error to server response without logging secrets or personal data.

A component propagates intentional changes once and removes handlers/timers when destroyed or navigated away. This result validates PCF lifecycle methods and output notification instead of the component in question. Here the specific acceptance check is: A failed operation can be traced from frontend error to server response without logging secrets or personal data.

The intended app instance uses the new control after import without manually copying source files. This result validates Packaging and deploying PCF in solution instead of the component in question.

Configure allowed origins for scripts, styles, connections and frames according to the code app CSP rather than setting a permissive wildcard. That action addresses Code app Content Security Policy configuration instead. A CSP error cannot be reliably fixed by disabling every restriction; precise origins should be justified. For this case, the targeted action is: Declare bound/input properties and resource files correctly in ControlManifest.Input.xml and align TypeScript output shapes with metadata.

Package PCF through supported tooling, include built assets in a solution and bind the component to the intended column or dataset.

Invoke a solution-managed cloud flow from a code app with well-defined input/output schemas and bounded timeout/error handling. That action addresses Code app use of Power Automate cloud flow instead. Calling a flow asynchronously does not guarantee its downstream actions committed before a UI success toast. For this case, the targeted action is: Declare bound/input properties and resource files correctly in ControlManifest.Input.xml and align TypeScript output shapes with metadata.
