CLI GAINS DEV STORE CREATION, HYDROGEN CUTS OBSERVABILITY OVERHEAD

Shopify CLI now ships a native command to spin up development stores directly from the terminal, while Hydrogen patches a critical vite detection failure that was crashing installations.

The CLI shipped `shopify store create dev` [1], a new command that lets developers provision app development stores without leaving the terminal. It supports organization auto-selection, structured JSON output for automation, and polls for completion with a sensible 5-minute timeout. This is the workflow improvement app developers have been waiting for. On the dependency front, the CLI locked down pnpm-lock.yaml with explicit tarball URLs [2] for registry consistency, and bumped esbuild to patch an HTTP path traversal vulnerability [3] that could affect local development servers. Over in Hydrogen, cli-hydrogen@12.0.2 [4] fixes a silent failure where missing vite dependencies would crash with an unhelpful error instead of telling you to install dependencies or run from the app directory. The same release cuts PerfKit resource sampling overhead by 90 percent [5], reducing observability noise without losing signal. Flow action extensions can now use relative runtime URLs [6], simplifying configuration for extension authors.
