forceCloudforceCloud behavior confusing. Is this feature still available? None of these statements from the SDK docs seem to hold true currently, with the SDK:Note that you can force usage of the cloud storage also by passing the forceCloud option to Dataset.open function, even if the APIFY_LOCAL_STORAGE_DIR variable is set.
Dataset stores its data either on local disk or in the Apify cloud, depending on whether the APIFY_LOCAL_STORAGE_DIR or APIFY_TOKEN environment variables are set.
StorageManagerOptionsStorageManagerOptions as referenced in the docs?DatasetDataset class represents a store for structured data where each object stored has the same attributes,A reminder that any Actors with full permissions will now display this warning to users when they run it from Console.

**Apify now supports agentic payments through x402 protocol** Agents can now pay and run Actors without an account or API token. All they need is to provide a payment payload in the request header. The integration is live on both API and MCP server. For more info, see docs here: https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402

**Confirmation dialog when running full-permission Actors** After launching [Actor permissions](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/permissions) last year, we're continuing to adopt least-privileged access and stricter defaults to improve security for both users and AI agents. We've seen growing adoption in the community and 70 of the top 100 Actors in Apify Store now use limited permissions. Thank you to everyone who reviewed and migrated their Actors. Full permissions are meant for Actors that genuinely need broad access to perform admin-level tasks on your account, like managing other Actors, runs or accessing account-wide resources. To make sure users understand what access they’re granting, **starting May 4th**, we're introducing a one-time confirmation step for new users of full-permission Actors. **Your existing users are not affected**, this only applies to users who haven’t run the Actor yet. Once approved, the Actor runs as usual with no further prompts. Users get transparency, and Actors that legitimately need full permissions keep working smoothly after the initial approval. **What should you do?** If your public Actor uses full permissions, consider whether it truly needs them. Most scraping, data extraction, and automation Actors work fine with limited permissions. Switching gives you: - Higher Actor Quality Score - Better visibility in Apify Store - No friction for new users or AI agents Migration guide: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/permissions/migration-guide If your Actor genuinely needs full permissions, that's completely fine. Just know that new users will see the confirmation step before running it, so clearly communicating why it’s needed in the README can help with adoption. Any questions? let us know in <#1090592836044476426>
