release: v0.27.1 (#2405)

# [0.27.1] - 2025-02-17

> **If using Rover with Connectors,** you will need to specify
`APOLLO_ROVER_DEV_ROUTER_VERSION=2.0.0-preview.X` when using `rover dev`

## 🐛 Fixes

- **Create output parent directories if they do not already exist -
@dotdat PR #2396**

One small regression with release of v0.27.0 was that if an output
directory to `supergraph compose` was specified,
but one of the parent directories did not exist, the command would fail.
In previous versions the parent directories
would be created instead and the command would succeed. This is now
corrected and the previous behaviour restored.

- **Clean up how default subgraphs are defined in `rover dev` - @dotdat
PR #2397 fixes #2394**

An issue has been reported where `rover dev` would prompt repeatedly for
the subgraph name and URL despite the
user having given those values already. This was due to multiple
factors, including not accounting for CLI args in
the default case and some faulty other faulty logic. This has now been
restored.

- **Refine how composition produces artifacts for targets - @dotdat PR
#2398 fixes #2393**

Due to changes in the `supergraph` binary from 2.9+, writing directly to
a file is now supported. However,
this feature is not available in earlier versions of `supergraph`. As
such Rover should be responsible for
orchestrating how the output from `supergraph` binary ends up in a file,
rather than delegating that responsibility
to the `supergraph` binary and thus being at the mercy of which version
is used. This allowed a further refactor that
  eliminated complexity around composition outputs.

- **Ensure credentials are checked when needed and not before -
@jonathanrainer PR #2400 fixes #2399**

Due to the `rover dev` refactor there were situations where credentials
were being required when they were ultimately
not being used. As such we stopped supporting the use case where no
`profile` was defined and no `APOLLO_KEY` env var
  was provided, which is a very common pattern. This is now corrected.
