…behavior When triggering DAG runs via airflowctl without specifying --logical-date, the parameter now defaults to the current timestamp instead of None. This aligns with the Airflow UI behavior where the trigger form pre-populates logical_date with the current time, providing a more intuitive user experience.

Good improvement for CLI/UI consistency! This makes airflowctl more intuitive.
Minor suggestion:
Consider adding a test case to verify this default behavior:
def test_dagrun_trigger_defaults_logical_date():
# Test that logical_date defaults to current time when not specified
...This would prevent regression if the behaviour changes in the future.
