Steps:

Build passes: npm run build ✅

This looks good and works as expected. Only one dependency comment.

LGTM!

Enhance CLI output by adding semantic colors to currently uncolorized text: - spaces/index.ts: Add state-based colors (success/warning/failure) to space states, use color.team() for team references - apps/rename.ts: Add color.info() to URLs and color.name() to git remote names - domains/index.ts: Add color.info() to heroku domain hostname - config/index.ts: Add color.label() to config var keys in shell output - releases/info.ts: Add color.label() to config var keys in shell output - clients/{create,info,rotate}.ts: Add color.label() to OAuth env var names and color.info() to values This improves readability and consistency by colorizing entity references and important information that previously lacked color.

Systematically fix color usage issues identified in COLOR_AUDIT_REPORT.md: HIGH PRIORITY FIXES: - Replace color.cyan.bold() with color.code() for inline command references - Replace color.cyan() with color.name() for resource IDs (backup IDs, versions) - Replace color.cyan/green() with color.info() for URLs - Replace color.green/yellow() with color.success/warning() for dyno states - Replace color.green() with color.name() for config var keys - Replace color.green() with color.datastore() for database names - Replace color.red/yellow/gray() with color.failure/warning/inactive() for release statuses - Replace color.green/cyan/yellow() with color.label/info() for dyno types/sizes FILES MODIFIED: - pg/backups/index.ts: Command examples, backup IDs, database names - pg/backups/info.ts: Backup IDs, command examples - pg/backups/schedules.ts: Schedule names, command examples - pg/info.ts: Config var keys - ps/index.ts: URLs, dyno states, dyno types/sizes - apps/create.ts: URLs - apps/info.ts: URLs - config/set.ts: Config var keys - releases/info.ts: Release statuses, version numbers - spaces/index.ts: Space states with state-based colors This addresses all high-priority issues from the audit report, improving color consistency and semantic meaning throughout the CLI.

This commit addresses medium-priority color inconsistencies identified in the color audit, converting remaining cyan/green/yellow colors to semantic color functions: - Removed role colors (metadata doesn't need emphasis) - Fixed email colors to use color.user() - Fixed token/authorization colors to use color.name() - Fixed region colors to use color.info() - Fixed buildpack colors to use color.info() - Fixed error message colors in config:set - Fixed dyno type colors to use color.label() - Fixed info-level error colors to use color.info() - Added conditional status colors (pending → warning, active → success)

Addresses final high-priority color audit issue: - Change command example from color.cyan.bold() to color.code() - Change backup schedule name from color.green() to color.name()
