9 October 2026: Private app creation in the CLI

Backfilled on 23 October 2026 from the CLI release published on 8 October. Use the linked guides for current instructions.

Send the private app manifest in the creation request

Caraer CLI 0.1.9 sends the complete initial private app manifest to the private-app creation endpoint. It replaces the earlier sequence of creating a reduced placeholder and then updating it.

The app name and manifest now travel together in that first request. If creation is rejected, the CLI does not record a newly created app UUID in the local workspace. This avoids leaving an empty placeholder behind when the subsequent manifest update would have failed.

Upgrade the CLI before creating private app projects with older installations. Existing linked projects do not need to be recreated for this CLI change.
