161. Agent calls: functions_template_get(language: "python")
172. Agent scans templateList.triggers[] descriptions and resource field
183. Agent selects: template where resource == "timer" → timer-trigger-python-azd
194. Agent calls: functions_template_get(language: "python", template: "timer-trigger-python-azd")
205. Agent writes: functionFiles[] + projectFiles[]
