Metadata
Update localized App Store version metadata from assets/app-store-connect/{workspace}/metadata/{platform}/{locale}.json.
Nova accepts description, keywords, marketingUrl, promotionalText, supportUrl, and whatsNew. A string updates that field. null is a local placeholder and is never sent to Apple. Files without any populated editable fields fail before authentication.
Credentials
Nova discovers App Store Connect API keys only from Apple's conventional AuthKey_{KEY_ID}.p8 locations:
./private_keys~/private_keys~/.private_keys~/.appstoreconnect/private_keys
Pass --key-id when more than one key exists and --issuer-id when the selected key requires an issuer. Nova never stores either value in nova.config.json.
