How it works

1. The plugin tab loads the HTML fragment into #plugin-tab-batch_sku.
2. It watches #tenant-select and #region-select for changes.
3. When both are set, it fetches subscriptions from /api/subscriptions.
4. The user picks a subscription and clicks Load SKUs.
5. The plugin calls GET /plugins/batch_sku/batch-skus?subscription_id=…&region=…&tenant_id=….
6. Results are displayed in table with filtering capabilities.

Quality checks

The scaffold includes GitHub Actions workflows in .github/workflows/:

• ci.yml — Runs lint (ruff + mypy) and tests (pytest) on Python 3.11–3.13, triggered on push/PR to main.
• publish.yml — Builds, creates a GitHub Release, and publishes to PyPI via trusted publishing (OIDC). Triggered on version tags (v*). Requires a pypi environment configured in your repo settings with OIDC trusted publishing.

Run the same checks locally:

uv run ruff check src/ tests/
uv run ruff format --check src/ tests/
uv run mypy src/
uv run pytest

To publish a release:

git tag v0.2.0
git push origin v0.2.0
