Shopify CLI hardens GraphQL caching and GraphiQL rendering

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Shopify · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

A security cluster lands in Shopify/cli, partitioning cached GraphQL responses by endpoint and token and serializing GraphiQL inline configuration safely, while Hydrogen fixes the opaque failure a 2026.4 storefront hits when it auto-bumps to @shopify/hydrogen 2026.10.

Merge pull request #8888 from Shopify/security-graphql-cache-principal Shopify/cli

by Liz Kenyon

The CLI now partitions GraphQL response caching by endpoint and token, so cached responses can no longer be served across principals that share a cache. If your tooling relies on cache hits across endpoints or credentials, expect those to become misses.

Merge pull request #8887 from Shopify/security-graphiql-inline-json Shopify/cli

by Liz Kenyon

GraphiQL configuration is now serialized into inline scripts safely, closing off a path where configuration data was written into the page without escaping. Anyone embedding GraphiQL output should take the updated CLI rather than hand-rolling the script tag.

Fix the opaque error when a 2026.4 storefront installs @shopify/hydrogen 2026.10 Shopify/hydrogen

by andguy95

Storefronts on 2026.4 whose dependencies auto-bump to latest were hitting a cryptic "does not provide an export named 'hydrogen'" error after @shopify/hydrogen 2026.10 published under the same package name and the same 2026.x version prefix. The fix swaps that message for one that explains what happened and how to pin back.

Merge pull request #8882 from Shopify/nickwesselman/security-command-telemetry-disclosure Shopify/cli

by Nick Wesselman

The security command's help text now discloses telemetry, so a reader of `--help` learns what the command reports before running it. Two companion commits (id 4, id 5) add usage examples for `app security check` and use cross-platform glob quoting in those examples.

Point fresh `hydrogen setup` runs at the hydrogen-setup skill Shopify/hydrogen

by mdamjanic7

Fresh `hydrogen setup` runs now end with "Setup is ready. Next: ask your agent to use the hydrogen-setup skill." It only prints when Hydrogen was not already installed; update runs just resync skills as before, and the change ships as a patch.
