Added

  • Added new vip defensive-mode commands to enable, disable, and configure defensive mode for an environment.
  • Added step-up verification support for protected actions, including automatic retry after verification succeeds.

Changed

  • Non-interactive runs now fail fast when step-up verification is required, unless you explicitly opt in to wait with --rechallenge-wait or VIP_RECHALLENGE_WAIT=1.
  • Production defensive-mode mutations in non-interactive workflows now require explicit confirmation bypass via --skip-confirmation.
  • Dev-env: Limit vip-dev-env.yml.ejs to plain YAML with <%= configDir %> substitution.

Fixed

  • Login and logout now clear cached elevated permissions to prevent reuse across account switches on the same machine.
