I’m trying to determine if I’m missing some logic in my CI/CD flow. Do I need to be concerned about the version of the Netsuite Node CLI that I’m using to do

suitecloud project:valdiate --server

and

suitecloud project:deploy

? I see that Netsuite released a version of the node CLI 1.8.0. At present we have about 15 accounts that are at various build of netsuite (2023.1 & .2, I believe). Do I need to be conscious that the SuiteCloud CLI 1.7.x manages the 2023.1 clients and 1.8.0 for the 2023.2 clients?

No, you don't need to manage it like that. I'm sure we haven't updated for a while and it works just fine.
