## Description

Manages Fabric Variable Library items, including definitions, libraryVariables and valueSets overrides. Covers which consumers can reference a variable and with what syntax -- pipelines, notebooks via notebookutils variableLibrary, Dataflow Gen2, Copy Jobs, shortcuts, UDFs and Plan items -- the active value set per workspace or deployment stage, and Git serialization for CI/CD.
