A command landed in the wrong project because more than one Unreal Editor is open. Use cfa list_editors and cfa connect to pick the editor you mean, and cfa connection_status to confirm which one a command would hit.
A command succeeded but the change landed in the wrong project, or an asset appeared somewhere you did not expect. You have more than one Unreal Editor open and the CLI reached a different one than you meant.
Every command targets exactly one editor. List them with their project, engine version, port, and process id:
See every running editor:
cfa list_editorsThe choice is saved, so it carries across separate terminals until you change it.
Choose the editor for the commands that follow:
cfa connect jiggiConfirm which editor would be hit right now:
cfa connection_statusClear the choice and go back to automatic routing:
cfa disconnectWith a single editor open, or when your terminal is inside the project folder, routing is automatic and you never need to connect. When the choice is ambiguous the CLI refuses and lists the editors rather than guessing, which is the behaviour that stops a command landing in the wrong project in the first place.
cfa health_check also reports which editor it reached, so you can confirm the target before running anything that writes.
