<observations> Date: Jul 21, 2026 * 🟡 (10:20) TSC exit code 0 (tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.build.json). package.json shows volta.node=24.18.0, volta.pnpm=10.27.0. * 🟡 (10:20) vitest run src/targets/__tests__/cloudflare.test.ts: 25 tests passed (1 file), duration 1.89s. * 🟡 (10:21) Full test suite run: 58 test files passed, 1050 tests passed, 1 skipped (1051 total), duration 31.96s. No regressions from the cloudflare `deployType` default change. * 🟡 (10:21) Assistant confirmed via grep that no other code besides src/targets/index.ts (which just registers `CloudflareTarget`) references the old `pages` default, and no Zod schema enforces the old shape. * 🔴 (10:22) Docs re-confirmed during review: CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN is passed to `wrangler` via the environment, "never on the command line" (docs/src/content/docs/targets/cloudflare.md:28). * 🟡 (10:23) Reviewed src/utils/system.ts `replaceEnvVariable()` (lines 86-101): expands a string ONLY when the entire string has the exact form `${...}` — a bare `$ENV_VAR` is not expanded. * 🟡 (10:23-10:24) Reviewed src/utils/system.ts `spawnProcess()` (lines 131-182): args of form `${...}` are expanded via `replaceEnvVariable` against `{...process.env, ...options.env}` (line 167-168); `options.env` is then passed through `sanitizeSpawnEnv()` (line 178) which strips dynamic-linker env vars (LD_PRELOAD, DYLD_*, etc.) as defense-in-depth (documented at src/utils/dynamicLinkerEnv.ts). * 🟡 (10:24) Assistant concluded: since `options.env` includes `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN`, any argv value of exact form `${CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN}` would be expanded to the token value by `spawnProcess` — this is the rationale for the existing config-time `${VAR}` rejection guard.

• 🟡 (10:24) Assistant completed code review of "cloudflare target follow-up (PR #843 follow-up)". Verification: tsc clean, cloudflare.test.ts 25/25 pass, full suite 1050 passed/1 skipped, no regressions. Node baseline 24.18.0 confirms global fetch is available — no polyfill, no new dependency added, raw fetch used (no Cloudflare SDK).
• 🟡 (10:24) Dry-run safety confirmed ZERO network calls: in cloudflare.ts publish() (line 343), the isDryRun() check at line 378 builds wrangler args from this.cloudflareConfig.productionBranch (config only, no fetch) and returns early; resolveProductionBranch() (the only fetch() caller, lines 393-396) and spawnProcess (line 418) are both unreachable in dry-run. Dry-run test stubs fetch and asserts it is never called. Noted caveat: dry-run preview under-represents the real command when branch inference is active — it omits --branch in dry-run even though a real run would add --branch <inferred>.
• 🟡 (10:24) [MINOR-1 finding] ${VAR} expansion guard does not cover the API-inferred production branch (cloudflare.ts:261-262 vs system.ts:167-168). The config-time guard (cloudflare.ts:175-186) rej
