[cli] Add --archive support to deploy continue by ofhouse · Pull Request #15197 · vercel/vercel

ofhouse · 2026-02-20T23:36:37Z

Context

vercel deploy continue is missing the --archive flag even though it shares the same semantics as deploy. Additionally, .vercel/output/provision.json must be sent as a separate file (not bundled into the tgz archive) so the API can inspect it before the build starts.

Changes

Add --archive support to deploy continue, reuse shared tarball packaging logic in the client, and add unit coverage. Deprecated split-tgz remains only on the normal deploy path.
When using --archive=tgz with deploy continue, provision.json is excluded from the tarball and sent as a standalone file alongside the archive chunks in the request body.
Extract createTgzFiles into a shared archive.ts utility with an optional exclude parameter, used by both createDeployment and continueDeployment.

([#15712](#15712)) ## @vercel/backends@0.0.52 ### Patch Changes - Updated dependencies \[[`a54b8f246ac6b43ac8f1674093402e3fe145fd64`](a54b8f2)]: - @vercel/build-utils@13.11.0 ## @vercel/cervel@0.0.39 ### Patch Changes - Updated dependencies \[]: - @vercel/backends@0.0.52 ## vercel@50.37.1 ### Patch Changes - Improve agent plugin install flow: agents now receive structured JSON prompts for plugin installation instead of auto-approving silently. Preferences are persisted to avoid repeat prompts. On deploy, shows a non-blocking tip if the plugin is not installed. ([#15707](#15707)) - Auto-install agent tooling on `vercel login`, `vercel link`, and `vercel deploy`. When a supported agent platform (Claude Code, Cursor) is detected or the user has `~/.claude`/`~/.cursor` directories, prompts to install the Vercel plugin. On `vercel link`, also prompts to add Vercel best practices to AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md. On `vercel deploy`, shows a non-blocking tip if the plugin is not installed. User preferences are persisted to avoid repeat prompts. ([#15692](#15692)) - Add --archive support to `deploy continue` command.
