VERCEL CLI FIXES FIRST-RUN BUILD CHAOS, EVE AGENTS GET TOKEN BUDGET GUARDRAILS

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Vercel

The CLI's `vc build` in unlinked directories was computing nested bogus paths and failing on first run, now fixed - and Eve subagents can no longer exceed their parent's token quota.

Vercel shipped three critical CLI fixes overnight [1][2][3]. The most urgent: `vc build` in a fresh directory was capturing a null link variable before pulling settings, so the repo-root re-anchoring skipped and spawned builds with doubled nested paths like `apps/api/apps/api`, failing with ENOENT on first run and only correcting on the second. That's patched. The release also adds `--project` support to CLI commands and fixes a prompt ordering issue. Meanwhile, a new `vercel integration resource inspect <resource>` command surfaces live provider status instead of stale DB-cached data from list endpoints [4], and `@vercel/container` now resolves `functions` config at build time including memory, maxDuration, and architecture [5]. Over in Eve, subagents were getting a fixed 5M token cap regardless of what the parent had left, and child spend never counted against the parent's quota - both wrong [6]. That's inverted: subagents now inherit the parent's remaining quota, and sessions pause at token limits to ask for human approval instead of just failing [7]. Attachments are now structured in `message.received` events [8], and the hero shader got an interactive paint hover system [9]. Next.js aligned dev and build output logging [10] and Turbopack now skips persist cycles when little work has happened [11], cutting unnecessary writes and compaction. Workflow fixed a breaking web command crash from missing static world injection [12][13] and SvelteKit adapter production crashes from bundled TypeScript compiler collisions [14]. The shop template dropped experimental instant/prefetch exports [15], added a Storefront MCP catalog search agent tool [16], and swapped Shopify's old client for the new Hydrogen preview SDK [17].
