`smoke` found the application it WRITES to by name against GET /applications —
every app the token can see, across every project and every environment on the
instance — and took the first name match. So `smoke_target: core` did not name
an application; it named whichever `core` Coolify happened to list first. One
instance carrying prod and staging is enough for `cast smoke --env staging` to
POST its canary vars onto prod's `core`, and on the failure path leave them
there.
It now resolves the target through fetchLive(project, environment) — the same
lookup every read-side verb makes — and takes the coordinates that lookup needs:
--project and --environment, with diff/capture/inventory's semantics and
defaults. An application that is not in that project + environment is not an
empty result, it is the absence of anything to write to, so smoke refuses:
naming what it looked for, where the name came from, and what is actually there
(including when the name belongs to a service or a database, which would 404 on
the /envs endpoint smoke writes to).
The <org>/<repo> positional is now REQUIRED, and the deprecated state-file-scoped
`smoke_target` is dropped: it named an app from a key with no project to scope
to, so it could not be fixed, only carried. It is still declared in the schema —
refused with a migration message rather than a strict-mode "unrecognized key",
because loadBindings runs for every verb and an unmigrated state file must not
take `diff` and `apply` down with it.
