Dry-run deployments with Vercel CLI
Short summary
Vercel CLI now supports dry-run deployments with `vercel deploy --dry`, previewing the framework preset and file manifest as JSON before creating an actual deployment. This enables agents to verify framework detection, identify missing files, flag oversized assets, and validate configuration without uploading code. Update to CLI v54.17.2 or later to access this feature.
