Infisical personal overrides not working CLI shows shared value after saving override

TL;DR

This was a backend bug the Infisical team fixed, the reporter confirmed personal overrides work again after the fix. If your overrides show as saved in the dashboard but the CLI still returns shared values, upgrade to a current Infisical version and retry; no config change is needed on your side.
