Shopify/cli shipped emergency fixes for argument injection in git repository setup and URL validation flaws that could expose merchant deployments.

Two breaking security patches landed overnight in the CLI. The first plugs an argument injection vulnerability in git repository initialization [1], while the second hardens notifications URL validation to block malicious input [2]. Both required immediate merge. In parallel, the team is cleaning house: polyfill dependencies are being stripped out now that the CLI requires Node >= 22.12 [3], including `node-abort-controller` and three other packages that no longer earn their weight. Test suite simplifications are also landing [4][5], reducing cognitive load without changing behavior. Across the repo, 31 commits and 16 PRs in 24 hours signal active hardening across the CLI stack.
