  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/purview — the `az purview` Azure
  CLI extension (management plane). Also PowerShell Az.Purview. The data-plane
  (catalog/scanning/data-map operations) is driven through the SDKs in
  packages/ and REST, not the CLI; the CLI covers account provisioning and
  administration.
