ensure-pipelines-host

separate

Ensures the tenant has a usable Power Platform Pipelines host environment before any pipeline operation runs. Detects host state via the same resolution order as the Power Apps UI (org-db setting → BAP env metadata → default-custom-host setting); if any existing host (Platform or Custom) is found, uses it. If no host is bound to the source env, provisions a new **Platform Host** (recommended, idempotent) or a **Custom Host** via the BAP env-create API with the `D365_ProjectHost` template, or guides the user through PPAC install / `New custom host` (manual fallbacks). Polls lifecycle operations, verifies the host responds to Pipelines API calls, writes a host-check artifact other ALM skills consume. Use when asked to: "set up pipelines host", "ensure pipelines host", "no pipelines host", "install pipelines", "create pipelines host", "provision platform host", "provision custom host". Also invoked transparently by /power-pages:setup-pipeline when its host discovery step finds nothing.
