Auto-upgrade

[gonzaloriestra]

HackDays project: https://vault.shopify.io/hackdays/153/projects/22255

WHY are these changes introduced?

We want our devs to always use the latest CLI version and avoid fragmentation

WHAT is this pull request doing?

Checks once per day if there is a new CLI version available and automatically upgrades unless:

• CI
• Snapshot or nightly version
• SHOPIFY_CLI_NO_AUTO_UPGRADE=1
• Major version change
• Development environment

TODO:

• Clean old upgrade functions
• Show loading bar while installs (and print more output?)

How to test your changes?

TBD

Measuring impact

How do we know this change was effective? Please choose one:

• n/a - this doesn't need measurement, e.g. a linting rule or a bug-fix
• Existing analytics will cater for this addition
• PR includes analytics changes to measure impact

Checklist

• I've considered possible cross-platform impacts (Mac, Linux, Windows)
• I've considered possible documentation changes

🫰✨ Thanks @gonzaloriestra! Your snapshot has been published to npm.

Test the snapshot by installing your package globally:

npm i -g --@shopify:registry=https://registry.npmjs.org @shopify/cli@0.0.0-snapshot-20260213121951

Caution

After installing, validate the version by running just shopify in your terminal.
If the versions don't match, you might have multiple global instances installed.
Use which shopify to find out which one you are running and uninstall it.

Differences in type declarations

We detected differences in the type declarations generated by Typescript for this branch compared to the baseline ('main' branch). Please, review them to ensure they are backward-compatible. Here are some important things to keep in mind:

• Some seemingly private modules might be re-exported through public modules.
• If the branch is behind main you might see odd diffs, rebase main into this branch.
