Here are some of the key improvements introduced in version 50.0.0:

- After successfully linking a project, the CLI now prompts you to pull your Project’s Environment Variables to keep your local setup aligned with your deployed configuration.
- Input for new Environment Variables is now masked during interactive entry
- When connecting to an existing project with `link`, the CLI now shows an interactive selector if you have fewer than 100 Projects.
- Fixed an issue where `vc link --repo` would incorrectly prefix project names.
- Commands that support the `ls` argument now have standardized behavior. Extra or unexpected arguments will consistently produce a clear error and exit early, ensuring predictable and reliable results across all `ls` commands. This change may require updates to scripts that depended on the previous behavior.
