Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - the 2026-07 API rejects index creation from a collection or backup Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pinecone-io/pinecone-python-client/f9550510fa076ff7c9bbccd310ceaa7c57c0ffd6/docs/migration/v10-migration.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Migration guide: source_collection=/source_backup_id= not exposed; backend rejects with 400; use create_index_from_backup. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pinecone-io/pinecone-python-client/f9550510fa076ff7c9bbccd310ceaa7c57c0ffd6/pinecone/_internal/index_migration.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): reject_legacy_create_kwargs raises PineconeTypeError naming create_index_from_backup.
