Safe pull

By default, the CLI compares incoming secrets with the existing file and aborts if any values would be modified or deleted:

Pull aborted. The following changes were detected:

~ DATABASE_URL (modified)
- OLD_SECRET (deleted)

Run with --force to overwrite.

Use --force to skip this check.

Placeholder warnings

If any secrets are marked as placeholders and you haven't set a personal override, the CLI shows a warning with clickable links to set your override in the dashboard:

  2 placeholders without personal override:

! GITHUB_TOKEN Set override
! AWS_SECRET_KEY Set override

Clicking the link opens the project page with the override modal ready for that secret.
