Vercel CLI can now buy domains, closing the agent deploy loop
Automated flows can register a domain in-pipeline, Sandbox now starts ready, and a new middleware flag trims Fast Origin Transfer and TTFB.

Agents can buy domains from the CLI
The Vercel CLI can now purchase domains, so an agent or deploy script can register a name and attach it to a project in one unattended run — no dashboard click, no human in the loop. It closes the last manual gap in standing up a live site end to end.
Sandbox starts ready, not warming up
Creating a Vercel Sandbox now returns only once it's ready; the cold-start that used to land on your first command is folded into creation. Timing is more predictable for CI jobs and agent runs that shell into a fresh sandbox.
Skip the request body in Routing Middleware
A new `skipMiddlewareRequestBody` option stops forwarding client request bodies to Routing Middleware, cutting Fast Origin Transfer usage and improving Time to First Byte — a free win when your middleware only needs headers or the URL.
