Proposed fix: [Foundry projects] 'Workspace not found' creating a connection with az ml CLI / azure-ai-ml SDK for a new Foundry project
Recommended action: Use az cognitiveservices account project connection create or the azure-mgmt-cognitiveservices Python SDK.
Option: Use Cognitive Services tooling [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. az cognitiveservices account project connection create ...
2. or azure-mgmt-cognitiveservices
Expected: Connection created
