Research direction

Start with the run_pipeline call in test_demo.py and the request construction at pipelines_client.py line 241, using the reported azure-devops-6.0.0b4 behavior as context. Reproduce the request and determine how its YAML override content relates to the service's dry-run restriction; done means documenting the supported request shape or confirming a reproducible SDK defect.
