### Fixed

 * Fixed a CI type-check failure (`TS2307`) by adding local typings for the optional`
   @postman/node-keytar` module used by secure keychain code paths.
 * Prefer HTTPS for dev environment login URL.
 * Fixed a regression where `vip dev-env update` could skip wizard prompts in interactive
   sessions.
 * Restored expected interactive behavior while preserving non-interactive behavior
   for non-TTY execution.
 * Dev-env: Fixed false positive SQL import validation errors for exported dumps
   containing Unicode line-separator bytes inside string data.
 * Secure keychain will be used if available.
 * No customer-facing changes; test coverage only.
 * Dev-env: Fixed SQL imports of MyDumper-format backups failing with `ERROR 1050:
   Table already exists` when the local database contains existing tables

### Changed

 * Show both HTTP and HTTPS versions of the login URL.
 * Documented CLI parser migration guardrails for short-option equals syntax and
   parser-backed option defaults.
 * Custom Deployments: Add a pre-deploy check for `vip app deploy` that warns when
   the deployment archive contains nested archive files over 50 MB
