Rationale
The
## Prerequisites and setup (mandatory)section currently tells agents that in headless / CI environments the CLI "automatically readsAPIFY_TOKENfrom the environment... no explicit login needed." That is accurate forapify infoandapify api, but empirically not true forapify push, which reads its token from~/.apify/auth.json(populated byapify login) and does not consultAPIFY_TOKENat deploy time.The visible failure mode is confusing: an agent following the current guidance sees
apify infosucceed, concludes it is authenticated, thenapify pushfails with a 401 wrapped in unstructured error prose (exit 1). This PR amends the last paragraph of that section with a headless / CI caveat so agents runapify login --token "$APIFY_TOKEN"at session start.While in the same paragraph, this also documents that
apify pushhas no--yes/--no-promptflag —--forceis the one to use for overwriting an existing build.Added content (preview)
Surfaced during an evaluation of Apify surfaces for agent-driven Actor development.
