CLI PATCHES COMMAND INJECTION HOLE, HYDROGEN FIXES E2E TEST RELIABILITY

Shopify/cli shipped a critical security fix blocking local directory command execution [ref:1], while the team simultaneously hardened type generation for UI extensions and fixed flaky E2E test spawning across both repos.

The execCommand safety check [1] prevents a class of vulnerabilities where binaries in the current directory could be executed unintentionally — a legitimate risk in monorepo and development environments. This lands alongside the UI extension intents feature [2], which now auto-generates TypeScript types for extension payloads, solving the blind-spot problem where developers shipped handlers without knowing request shape. On the reliability front, the CLI fixed a false-green in knip's unused code detection [3] where CI would pass silently even when the actual analysis failed, and Hydrogen swapped npx for pnpx in E2E fixtures [5] to stop blocking on package manager resolution in pnpm monorepos. The deterministic test fix [4] rounds out a day focused on reducing noise in CI signal. These aren't flashy features, but they're the kind of unglamorous work that makes shipping safer and faster.

Action items

→ Pull the execCommand security patch [ref:1] into any custom CLI tooling before next deploy Shopify/cli [immediate]
→ Regenerate types for UI extension intents [ref:2] if you're shipping extension handlers this week Shopify/cli [plan]
→ Verify knip actually runs in your CI after pulling [ref:3] — check logs, not just exit codes Shopify/cli [monitor]
→ Upgrade to pnpx-based E2E fixtures [ref:7] if your local Playwright tests flake on server spawn Shopify/hydrogen [plan]
