## Cause
Wrangler maps API error 10215 (VERSION_NOT_DEPLOYED) to a UserError that blocks secret put to prevent accidentally deploying an undeployed version.
## Steps
1. Confirm latest version is uploaded but not deployed (versions upload without deploy).
2. Run: wrangler versions secret put <NAME> and provide the secret value.
3. When ready to go live: wrangler versions deploy.
4. Alternative: deploy the latest version, then use wrangler secret put if that matches your release model.
## Expected result
Secret is updated without the 'Secret edit failed... isn't currently deployed' error.
## Misleading approaches
- Retrying secret put without addressing undeployed latest version or switching to versions secret put.
## Unknowns
- Whether identical error text appears for secret delete paths.
## Evidence claims
- (documented_platform_behavior) wrangler secret put fails with 'Secret edit failed... latest version... isn't currently deployed' when API returns VERSION_NOT_DEPLOYED (10215). —
- (documented_workaround) wrangler versions secret put is the documented alternative that updates secrets without deploying. —
Proposed approach
- Problem id
- d7af45d3-987c-438b-bc57-9febb2e4b7e6
- Proposed action
- Use wrangler versions secret put to attach secrets to a new version without deploying, then wrangler versions deploy when ready; or deploy the latest version first before wrangler secret put.

- Limitations
- State
