Purpose of change

Let users manage custom domains on preview and staging branches through service domain --branch <name>.

What's changed and why

  • Remove the production-only guard shared by add, show, retry, wait, and delete. Domain commands still default to production when --branch is omitted.
  • Keep service selection, domain lookup, and recovery actions scoped to the selected branch app. Recovery commands include the resolved project and service IDs plus the quoted branch name. Invalid-hostname and invalid-timeout recovery also preserve a supplied branch before target selection.
  • Update help, deployment-required advice, and product docs. Remove the retired SERVICE.BRANCH_NOT_DEPLOYABLE error.
  • Cover feature and staging registration and the other four domain commands with branch app and domain IDs.
  • Use the API recovery hint for custom-domain quota errors. The workspace hourly limit tells users to wait; deleting a domain does not restore that budget. Inventory quota errors without a hint keep the existing deletion guidance.
  • Use one private recovery-command formatter across the error paths so project, service, and branch selectors cannot drift. Regression tests cover missing deployments and DNS failures on a branch name that needs shell quoting.

Companion changes: Console and domain support and public docs. The REST API already accepts branch apps; the Console restriction is removed by the platform PR. Publish the docs after the platform change is deployed and this CLI change is released.

Terminal examples

Captured from this PR's current head (54b4ea48389004d000508070c0ca1c05a1f57d43) with the in-process CLI harness and synthetic API responses. ANSI colors are removed. These are actual CLI-rendered examples, not live DNS or certificate tests. The successful fixture assumes the required DNS records already exist. TXT/Cloudflare-specific CLI guidance is a separate change in #370.

Add and wait on staging

--branch selects the app for each invocation. Keep the same selectors on follow-up commands; omitting --branch still defaults to production.

$ prisma service domain add staging.example.com --project acme-app --service hello-world --branch staging
✔ Added staging.example.com to hello-world.

workspace:  Acme Inc
project:    acme-app
branch:     staging
service:    hello-world
hostname:   staging.example.com
status:     provisioning_tls
dns CNAME:  staging.example.com -> switchboard.ewr.prisma.build (ttl 300)

→ Wait for activation: prisma service domain wait staging.example.com
→ Show the domain: prisma service domain show staging.example.com

$ prisma service domain wait staging.example.com --project acme-app --service hello-world --branch staging
staging.example.com: active
✔ staging.example.com is live at https://staging.example.com

workspace:  Acme Inc
project:    acme-app
branch:     staging
service:    hello-world
hostname:   staging.example.com
status:     active

Both commands exit with status 0. The branch: staging row confirms the selected branch.

DNS recovery keeps the selected branch

A branch name with spaces is quoted in the recovery command. The command also carries the resolved project and service IDs, so retrying targets the same app.

$ prisma service domain add staging.example.com --project acme-app --service hello-world --branch 'feature/domain fix'
✘ [SERVICE.DOMAIN_DNS_NOT_CONFIGURED] DNS is not configured for "staging.example.com"
  why: Create a CNAME to switchboard.ewr.prisma.build first.
→ Add CNAME staging.example.com -> switchboard.ewr.prisma.build at your DNS provider, then rerun the domain command.
→ Add the domain: prisma service domain add staging.example.com --service svc_staging --project proj_1 --branch 'feature/domain fix'

Exit status: 2.

The hourly budget gives wait guidance

The API's recovery hint tells users to wait. Deleting an existing domain does not restore the hourly creation budget.

$ prisma service domain add staging.example.com --project acme-app --service hello-world --branch staging
✘ [SERVICE.DOMAIN_QUOTA_EXCEEDED] Custom domain quota exceeded
  why: Failed to add custom domain: This workspace can create 10 custom domains per hour. Try again in 60 minutes. Wait before adding another custom domain to this workspace.
→ Wait before adding another custom domain to this workspace.

Exit status: 2.

Testing notes / Before-after

Before: any domain command with a preview branch failed before calling the API. After: prisma service domain add staging.example.com --service web --branch staging targets that branch's app.

Passed:

  • Full CLI package suite: 1,048 passed, one existing skipped test.
  • Root pnpm typecheck (nine tasks), pnpm format, pnpm lint, and pnpm check:error-reference.
  • Local end-to-end tests: seven passed. The 48 live API tests were skipped because their service token is not configured.

Root pnpm test and a serial retry stop at the unchanged CLI-engine test “consent with a token: a wrong answer re-prompts instead of failing” after its five-second timeout. That test also fails in isolation, without loading the changed CLI command code. The full changed CLI package suite passes separately.

API calls are exercised through the in-process CLI test harness. Live DNS and TLS issuance were not exercised.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Manage custom domains on preview and staging branches as well as production. Commands default to production; use --branch to select another branch.
    • Add a domain after promoting a version on the selected branch, and look up, retry, wait for, or delete domains there.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Recovery guidance now preserves the selected service, project, and branch, including for invalid input.
    • Domain setup errors provide DNS ownership and Cloudflare proxy guidance. Quota errors use the API’s recovery guidance when available; otherwise, they advise freeing an existing domain slot.
  • Documentation
    • Updated command help and reference guidance to explain branch selection and deployment requirements.

Walkthrough

Custom-domain commands now support services on preview branches as well as production. Commands default to production, and --branch selects another branch. Adding a domain requires a promoted, running version on the selected branch. Lookup, retry, wait, and delete operations use the selected service. Tests cover registration on feature and staging branches, staging-branch operations, and branch-specific recovery commands.

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 84a9a

Recovery commands now retain the selected branch, so no actionable merge risk remains beyond normal checks.

🟠 Major · Keep the selected branch in the recovery command. · errors.ts:565

packages/cli/src/commands/service/errors.ts:565
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep the selected branch in the recovery command.

If service domain add fails with 422 on staging, the “Add the domain” action omits --branch. A user who fills in <name> and runs that command targets production. If production has a live service with that name, the command can register the hostname on the wrong service. Pass the resolved branch into domain error construction and include it in recovery commands, including the DNS recovery command at line 636.

Use the API recovery hint for custom-domain quota errors so an hourly
creation limit tells users to wait instead of deleting a domain.

Verified root format, types, lint, error reference, the full CLI package
suite, and local end-to-end tests. Live API tests skip without a token.
Root pnpm test stops at an unchanged cli-engine prompt timeout that also
reproduces in isolation; pnpm --filter @prisma/cli test passes.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve --branch in pre-resolution recovery commands.

Branch-scoped commands can reach these errors before target resolution. Both suggested commands omit the supplied branch, so the resolver defaults to production. Following either suggestion for a preview or staging target can add the domain to production or wait for production state instead of the selected branch.

Pass the original branch to these pre-resolution error builders and include its shell-quoted value in the suggestion when supplied. Keep resolved-target domainRecoveryCommand unchanged.

## Purpose of change

Show TXT ownership instructions, Cloudflare proxy recovery, and a safe
retry command when a custom domain cannot connect.

## What's changed and why

- Recognize `domain-ownership-required` as
`SERVICE.DOMAIN_OWNERSHIP_REQUIRED`, with the exact DNS instructions
from the API.
- Keep the selected project, service, and shell-quoted branch in
**Verify and connect** recovery. Do not suggest deploying the service to
fix missing ownership proof.
- Recognize `domain-cloudflare-proxy` as
`SERVICE.DOMAIN_CLOUDFLARE_PROXY`. Explain DNS only during setup, then
Proxied after Active with Full (strict) TLS and an accessible ACME
challenge path. Preserve the same project, service, and branch when
retrying.
- Update command help and product/error docs. The CLI stays compatible
with the current API and needs no SDK change.

Stacked on #354 for branch-domain support. Companions: [platform
#5785](prisma/pdp-control-plane#5785) and [docs
#8581](prisma/web#8581). Merge and release that
PR first. Release this change before the platform TXT enforcement for
clear recovery guidance; publish the companion public docs only after
the platform deploy and CLI release.

<!-- cli-domain-verification-terminal-examples:start -->
## Terminal examples

Captured from this PR's head
(`231634ad916894ce495d57afaa24afc7ea11382f`) using the in-process CLI
harness and synthetic API responses. ANSI colors are removed. These are
actual CLI-rendered errors, not live DNS or certificate tests.
`workspace-proof` is a fixture value: use the exact TXT value provided
for your workspace.

### Missing workspace TXT proof

The CLI shows the API's exact TXT instructions. The recovery command
keeps the selected project, service, and shell-quoted branch; it does
not suggest deploying the app to fix missing proof.

```console
$ prisma service domain add staging.example.com --project acme-app --service hello-world --branch 'feature/domain fix'
✘ [SERVICE.DOMAIN_OWNERSHIP_REQUIRED] Verify ownership of staging.example.com
  why: DNS does not contain the TXT proof for this workspace.
→ Add a TXT record named _prisma-verification.staging.example.com with value prisma-verification=workspace-proof. Keep this record to reconnect domains in this workspace, then retry the same command.
→ Verify and connect: prisma service domain add staging.example.com --service svc_staging --project proj_1 --branch 'feature/domain fix'
```

Exit status: `2`. JSON mode reports `SERVICE.DOMAIN_OWNERSHIP_REQUIRED`
and the same **Verify and connect** next action.

### Cloudflare proxy recovery

Connect with **DNS only**, wait for **Active**, then restore **Proxied**
with **Full (strict)** TLS. The instructions also cover the ACME
challenge path for certificate renewal.

```console
$ prisma service domain add staging.example.com --project acme-app --service hello-world --branch 'feature/domain fix'
✘ [SERVICE.DOMAIN_CLOUDFLARE_PROXY] Turn off Cloudflare's proxy to connect staging.example.com
  why: Failed to add custom domain: This hostname appears to use Cloudflare's proxy. Set this record to DNS only (gray cloud). Once the domain is Active, turn Proxied back on with Full (strict) SSL/TLS and keep /.well-known/acme-challenge/* accessible.
→ Set this record to DNS only (gray cloud). Once the domain is Active, turn Proxied back on with Full (strict) SSL/TLS and keep /.well-known/acme-challenge/* accessible.
→ Verify and connect: prisma service domain add staging.example.com --service svc_staging --project proj_1 --branch 'feature/domain fix'
```

Exit status: `2`. JSON mode reports `SERVICE.DOMAIN_CLOUDFLARE_PROXY`.
Both captured recovery commands keep `--project proj_1`, `--service
svc_staging`, and `--branch 'feature/domain fix'`.
<!-- cli-domain-verification-terminal-examples:end -->

## Testing notes / Before-after

Before: the ownership error would be mistaken for a missing deployment.
After: the CLI shows the workspace TXT instructions or
Cloudflare-specific recovery and retries the same branch app.

Passed: root format, type checks (nine tasks), lint, error-reference
completeness (132 codes), full CLI package suite (1,050 passed, one
existing skip), and local end-to-end tests (seven passed). The 48 live
API tests skip without a service token. No live DNS or TLS changes were
made.
