Tinybird CLI 4.0 introduces a simplified workflow by replacing per-command flags (--cloud, --local, --branch) with a single dev_mode setting in tinybird.config.json. Three modes are available: local, branch (auto-maps git branches to Tinybird branches), and manual (legacy behavior). The CLI now auto-detects project types including TypeScript SDK projects. The embedded AI agent module has been fully removed—20+ files and ~5,500 lines of code including four AI dependencies—since external coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) now handle that role. Commands like tb mock, tb --prompt, and the interactive tb dev shell are gone. Upgrade via tb update.
