SHOPIFY CLI 4.2.0 SHIPS WITH THEME PREVIEW DEBUGGING AND ENV FIXES

Shopify CLI 4.2.0 lands with standard events inspector for theme development and fixes a critical regression in the command loader that broke lazy loading.

The headline release is 4.2.0 [1], which adds a new `--standard-events-inspector` flag to `theme preview` [2] as part of Shopify's push to standardize storefront events and actions. This unlocks better debugging for theme developers building with the new standard events spec. The same release fixes app env pull when absolute file paths are used [1] and scopes cached signed upload URLs per app, both critical quality-of-life improvements for app developers managing multiple storefronts. But the real fire was an oclif regression that landed in 4.8.4 [3]: the command loader stopped preserving the ShopifyConfig subclass, breaking lazy command initialization across the entire CLI. The team pinned oclif back to 4.8.3 to restore that behavior. On the build side, an esbuild upgrade to 0.28.1 landed in the main branch but was reverted before the release [4] because it shipped less than a week ago and violates the minimum release age policy. Your developers can upgrade to 4.2.0 with confidence.
