Previously, passing bake_agent=true to the host creation REST API endpoints on editions without the agent bakery would silently succeed with no agents being baked.

This has been fixed. Calls with bake_agent=true now return HTTP 400 with a clear message when the agent bakery is not available on your edition.

If your automation passes bake_agent=true on an edition without the agent bakery, update your calls to omit the parameter or set it to false.
