The update-cart action can now update cart attributes directly, eliminating the need to call the Storefront API manually. A new shopify:cart:attributes-update event fires whenever an attributes update is initiated — regardless of whether the change came from your app, the theme, or another app. The event carries the full new set of attributes and a promise for the result, enabling immediate UI updates with rollback support if the cart rejects the change.
