🚀 Changes

• #6592 Add validation for CRON expressions in schedules.
• #6582 Make default_environment a top-level setting, with default value 'dev'.
  • NOTE: This was retroactively noted as a breaking change, since it added a requirement that a dev environment name must exist if default_environment was not overridden by the project. This requirement is now removed in the v2.7.3 Release, reverting the breaking change behavior.
