It looks like the recent transition to Spotify's new API hasn't worked smoothly for the CreatePlaylist endpoint, which is now completely missing from the 10.0.0-RC1 version.

Spotify said to use POST /me/playlist instead, but that endpoint is nowhere to be found either. I got a feeling that Copilot butchered that part in particular during the migration.
