Sep 1, 2025September 2025: Focused on improving CLI reliability and UX for Redis-related workflows in the Heroku CLI. Delivered a targeted bug fix to prevent unwanted interactive prompts when the Redis database argument is not provided, ensuring non-interactive usage remains smooth for both manual runs and automation. Implemented in the heroku/cli Redis command by adjusting ignoreStdin handling. This work reduces friction, enhances scripting reliability, and strengthens production CLI behavior.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 for heroku/cli: Stability and documentation focus. Temporarily skipped two Run command integration tests using .skip() markers to prevent CI flakiness, enabling progress while awaiting fixes. Released v10.12.0 with new Aliases and Verification features; updated changelog and user documentation to reflect these features (emphasizing user-facing changes rather than core code updates).
