CLI 4.0: A better workflow for agents and humans

Tinybird's CLI 4.0 introduces a streamlined workflow aimed at simplifying data branching and environment configuration, eliminating the need for multiple flags during build or deployment processes. Users can set up their environment once in the tinybird.config.json file, specifying a development mode such as local, branch, or manual, which allows tb build and tb deploy commands to operate seamlessly without additional flags. The update also removes the embedded AI agent, reducing the installation size and improving startup times, while still providing coding agents with structured outputs and error messages. The CLI can auto-detect project types, handling datafiles and TypeScript SDK projects without the need for separate build steps. Despite these changes, existing .datasource and .pipe files, authentication, and data management processes remain unchanged, ensuring a smooth transition for users upgrading from earlier versions.
