+The `az` shim specifically intercepts `az account get-access-token` requests and uses the `azure-auth-helper`
+to acquire tokens via the ado-codespaces-auth VS Code extension. This enables `DefaultAzureCredential`'s

 For `npm`, `yarn`, `rush`, and `pnpm` this requires that your `~/.npmrc` file is configured to use the ${ARTIFACTS_ACCESSTOKEN}
 environment variable for the `authToken`. A helper script has been added that you can use to write your `~/.npmrc`
