Yes, automation API is the way to do this

Think I figured it out by trial and error. This actually seems to work:

The somewhat surprising part is that passing `null` for the `program` parameter actually seems to work.

That's because you're passing `null` to setup the workspace not to setup a specific update action. This is so that you can do subsequent update actions without needing to pass your program everytime. If you were to try to execute an inline update action (preview or up) than I suspect you'd see issues.

The "correct" way to do this since you are not executing any update action and you are just looking to do stack manipulation would be to create your workspace first, and then select the stack from the workspace. Than you wouldn't need to abuse `null!`

Ah, got it <@U01E602D5JA> ! Thanks! :smiley:
