why is it called branch-id and not just branch? what is an example value that needs to be passed, is it really an id?

The CLI now accepts only --branch and resolves the ID internally.

The ID flag is removed, and branches list now lets agents discover names directly.

Sandbox commands target a Base44 branch by name with
--branch <name>. For example:The CLI resolves the exact name within the selected app and sends the ID to the sandbox bridge internally. Missing or ambiguous names fail before any sandbox operation.
--branch mainor no flag targets main. No checkout state is saved, and there is no public ID flag.All seven sandbox commands honor the global flag; unsupported commands such as functions pull/list reject it explicitly. Broader resource branch support remains separate work.
Validation: production bundle build, TypeScript typecheck, lint, Knip, and 37 mocked-HTTP CLI tests passed. No live E2E run.
Pairs with base44-dev/apper#23840, whose Builder-generated CLI instructions now include the selected branch name. MCP sandbox tools are an independent connection and do not invoke the CLI.
Branch discovery:
base44 --app-id <app-id> branches listreturns main and active branch names, with structured JSON output for agents; IDs remain internal.
