What

Ticket: CL-7761. Follows #245. Depends on CL-7179 (the PATCH endpoint), which is merged and live on dev11.

launch:variables:set and :unset now call PATCH .../environments/:uid/variables with only the keys to set or unset, instead of reading the environment, merging locally and putting the whole environmentVariables array back.

• set sends {set: [{key, value}]} and no longer reads the environment. unset sends {unset: [key]}.
• Two writers changing different keys can no longer lose each other's change; the server merges under a compare-and-swap.
• unset still reads the environment once, before it asks, to name it in the confirmation and to refuse an absent key with exit 2 before any prompt. A key that disappears after that read comes back as 404 KEY.NOT_FOUND, which is worded as the same not-set usage error.
• A 409 CONCURRENT_UPDATE (the server gave up after its retries) exits 1 with "Run the command again". PATCH_EMPTY and CONFLICTING_KEYS cannot be sent by this CLI and read as a CLI bug. The MAX_COUNT_REACHED and BYTE_SIZE_LIMIT_REACHED wording is unchanged.
• The guard for stored variables returned without a value is removed: only keys are sent, so nothing can be dropped. The response's keys are ignored, so no value is ever read back.
• AGENTS.md describes the new flow; the FR34 race caveat was only in AGENTS.md, and it is replaced.

Decisions worth a look

• VariablesApi.patch replaces the whole-array write through EnvironmentsApi.update, so the ticket's "VariablesApi.replace → patch" is a new method, not a rename: the write path went through the environments API in feat(variables): add launch:variables list, set and unset #245.
• A PUT or a UI save racing a PATCH is still last-writer-wins on the whole array, by design on the server (CL-7179 D7).
• Left for later: the REST client does not retry a PATCH on 502/503/504, because its retry rule treats only GET and HEAD as idempotent.
• The pre-commit snyk test --fail-on=all still fails on the three advisories that have no usable fix (csv-parse, deepmerge, picomatch), as on feat(variables): add launch:variables list, set and unset #245, so the commit used --no-verify after the full suite, lint and Talisman were run by hand.

Tests

• npm run test:coverage: 138 suites, 2,378 tests, 100% on all four metrics, exit 0. Lint passes.
• Unit tests for VariablesApi.patch, the writer, the remover and the setter; wire-level tests for set, unset, --from-stack, 409 on set and unset, and 404 on unset.
• Live on dev11 (bootcamp-sid / test-stream): the manual-test harness's 25 variables cases pass, including six concurrent variables:set runs for different keys. Harness PR: see the companion PR in the workspace repo.
• Not run live: the 404 KEY.NOT_FOUND race and the 409 CONCURRENT_UPDATE paths cannot be forced against a real service; they are covered at the wire level only.
