Our app depends on the VERCEL_ENV="development" to be set in local dev mode.

Publishing the change as a minor change breaks a lot of things. I think it should had been released as a major (breaking) change.

It is really convenient to have access to VERCEL_ENV in dev mode. I vote for adding it back.

Workaround: For now we have locked the cli to vercel@34.1.14 to fix it, eg vercel@34.1.14 env pull.

I am a big fan of Vercel, keep up the good work!
