Shopify CLI stabilized overnight, merging critical fixes for broken Changesets validation and upgrading hydrogen to 13.0.1.

In brief

Shopify CLI 4.5.1 ships with a Hydrogen version bump and a critical changeset fix. The dev console removal broke your config—now it's patched. Update if you hit changelog parsing errors.
That orphaned dev-console reference in your changesets config? Gone. Turns out removing a feature without cleaning up its metadata is a bad time. 4.5.1 catches what 4.5 missed.
Event watcher tests got simpler. Dropped polling complexity in favor of cleaner assertions. Small win, but it's the kind of refactor that pays dividends when tests need to change.

The 4.5 branch is now synced to main [1], carrying forward the production-ready state from your stable channel. Buried in that merge: a fix for Changesets config that was failing validation after the dev console removal [2]. That stale package reference in .changeset/config.json was breaking `/snapit` and other Changesets commands [5], and it's now cleaned up in 4.5.1 [3]. On the testing front, the app event watcher tests got a minor polish [4], replacing custom polling logic with Vitest's native `vi.waitFor` helper for cleaner timeout diagnostics and less duplicated framework logic. Nothing breaking here, but the Changesets fix is the one that matters if you've been hitting validation errors on deploy.
