    "incantation": "When targeting a Vercel project by name or ID, pass `--project <NAME_OR_ID>` to `build`, `deploy`, `pull`, or `dev` to resolve it without project selection. The Vercel 54.3.0 release note also says this flag is accepted by `vercel deploy init`, but excluded from `vercel deploy continue`.",

      "vercel build --project <NAME_OR_ID>",

      "Version: 54.3.0",
      "--project <NAME_OR_ID>: Selects a Vercel project by name or ID; takes precedence over `VERCEL_PROJECT_ID` and `.vercel/project.json`.",
      "`--project` is excluded on `vercel deploy continue` because `--id` already identifies the deployment.",
      "API-based resolution requires the explicit `--project` flag."
