[events]: Required when running shopify app dev on an existing public app

Extensions

Hi,

I’m trying to run local development for an existing public app already listed in the Shopify App Store:


`npx shopify app dev`


The unchanged `shopify.app.toml` only requests:

```
[access_scopes]
scopes = "read_themes"
```


The app does not use Shopify Events and has no `[events]` section. However, the CLI stops with:

```
Validation error in shopify.app.toml:
[events]: Required
```

Environment: Shopify CLI `4.7.0`, Node.js `v22.17.1`.

I have not modified the TOML or run `shopify app config link`. Downgrading the CLI did not help.

Is this a known CLI/schema issue? Should `[events]` really be required for an app with no Events subscriptions, and what workaround avoids adding unnecessary permissions?
