- **changed** — Move exact @prisma/cli-engine peer dependency from 0.1.1 to 0.2.0

#### v8.0.0-rc.3

A single-purpose release: `@prisma/orm-toolchain` moves its exact `@prisma/cli-engine` peer from 0.1.1 to 0.2.0, so the unified `prisma` CLI can ship a release in which every mounted product runs on the one engine version it installs. There are no ORM API changes in this release.

##### Breaking changes

- **The exact `@prisma/cli-engine` peer moves to 0.2.0** — engine 0.2.0 adds the credential-refresh exports and structured delegated output that `prisma@8.0.0-rc.4` was built against but the registry's engine 0.1.1 does not contain, which is why `npx prisma@next` currently fails on import. This release pairs with the `prisma` CLI release that depends on it (`8.0.0-rc.5`); upgrade both together. No code changes — an operational peer move only.
