Summary

  • Clarify the shared --env-file documentation for local task processes.
  • Update trigger dev --help to describe the same behavior.
  • Add the required trigger.dev patch changeset.

Root cause

The implementation already passes local dev --env-file values into task processes, but the docs and CLI help incorrectly said they only affected the CLI process.

Validation

  • Formatting and lint checks passed.
  • Full CLI package build is currently blocked by pre-existing missing generated workspace dependencies and baseline TypeScript errors in this checkout.

Please keep this PR in draft until vouching and CI review are complete.
