[Copilot]

Reducing the minimum CLI core version from 2.76.0 to 2.73.0 should be carefully validated to ensure all features used by the quantum extension are available in CLI core version 2.73.0. Consider documenting why this downgrade is safe and what testing was performed to verify compatibility.

Suggested change

	"azext.minCliCoreVersionValidationNote": "The minimum CLI core version was reduced from 2.76.0 to 2.73.0 after validating that all features used by the quantum extension are available in CLI core version 2.73.0.
