SHOPIFY CLI CLEANS UP AGENT RULES, HYDROGEN ADDS ENV PUSH AUTOMATION

Shopify's CLI team consolidated AI agent instructions into a single source of truth while removing generated doc noise from git, and Hydrogen now lets environment pushes run unattended.

The CLI desk is tightening its foundation for AI-assisted development. They've consolidated duplicate agent guidelines from .cursor/rules and AGENTS.md into a single standard file [1], eliminating the maintenance burden of keeping coding guidance in sync across multiple locations. This matters because Cursor adoption has dropped, so maintaining separate rule files became redundant overhead. Meanwhile, they're also cleaning up git tracking to stop committing the regenerated interface files that `pnpm build-dev-docs` produces [2], keeping only the final `generated_docs_data_v2.json`. Over on the Hydrogen side, `shopify hydrogen env push` now accepts a `--force` flag to bypass the diff confirmation prompt [3], unblocking agent-driven environment variable deployments. They also added `--dry-run` for previewing changes without committing them, giving developers safer preview options when agents can't interact with confirmation dialogs.
