## All Wrangler commands for Workflows now support local development

All `wrangler workflows` commands now accept a `--local` flag to target a Workflow running in a local `wrangler dev` session instead of the production API.

You can now manage the full Workflow lifecycle locally, including triggering Workflows, listing instances, pausing, resuming, restarting, terminating, and sending events:

```sh
npx wrangler workflows list --local
npx wrangler workflows trigger my-workflow --local
npx wrangler workflows instances list my-workflow --local
npx wrangler workflows instances pause my-workflow <INSTANCE_ID> --local
npx wrangler workflows instances send-event my-workflow <INSTANCE_ID> --type my-event --local
```

All commands also accept `--port` to target a specific `wrangler dev` session (defaults to `8787`).
