- Managed Instance reports 12.0.2000.8 but is evergreen: treated as the
newest engine with all capabilities; new SelfManagedInfrastructure
capability so backup, CHECKDB, files, tempdb, memory, patch level and
lifecycle rules report 'handled by Azure' instead of false findings
- Microsoft Entra ID login (managed identity, service principal, default
credential chain) via SqlConnection.AccessTokenCallback
- Least-privilege script recognizes Managed Instance; deadlock collector
falls back to the ring buffer when event files cannot be read
- Web UI shows the right release for Managed Instance
- README and installation docs: notifications and Managed Instance
- Catalog test: 61 rules with unique, well-formed ids
Integration suite green on SQL Server 2017 and 2022.
