Mar 1, 2026March 2026: Delivered a new InfraCmd in planetscale/cli to display infrastructure details for a specific branch, enabling targeted visibility and faster troubleshooting across multi-branch deployments. Upgraded planetscale-go to v0.152.0 to support the BranchInfrastructure service and the new command, and wired the InfraCmd into the branch command group for discoverability and consistency. This work improves operational insight, supports governance across branches, and reduces time-to-insight for infra-related questions.
