CLI DECOUPLES PREVIEW STORES FROM OAUTH, HYDROGEN GOES STANDALONE

Shopify CLI is rewiring preview store authentication to skip the OAuth dance entirely, while Hydrogen's Oxygen plugin no longer needs the parent framework to function.

The CLI has shipped a three-part fix for preview stores that were forcing developers through unnecessary OAuth flows [3]. Preview stores come with fixed Admin API scopes baked in at creation time, so running `store auth` against them failed and confused users. Now the CLI exits early with a clear error [3], caches those scopes locally when the store is created [4], and lets `theme pull` and `theme push` use the persisted token directly without requiring a separate password [1]. On the speed front, `shopify store info` now makes one backend request instead of two [2], cutting latency for agents who need to grab preview store URLs. Over in Hydrogen, the Mini Oxygen Vite plugin is now self-sufficient [5]. It can infer compatibility dates from the resolved @shopify/hydrogen package, default to 2026-04-01 when needed, and handle deployment output resolution without Hydrogen registering defaults upstream. This matters because it decouples local development and deployment flows from framework coordination, making the plugin work in standalone contexts.
