Added CLI enhancements: single confirmation prompt for `pulumi new`, new `PULUMI_DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION` env var, and clearer messages for stack creation, login failures, and policy group listing.
Added optional OS‑protected encryption for stored credentials and new interactive prompts for cloud provider/language in `pulumi new`.
CLI adds first‑project creation after login, auto‑assigns identifiers in "pulumi do", supports stateful resource patching, introduces "pulumi state get", and falls back to an auto‑created project/stack when run outside a Pulumi project.
