CLIs need installs. What if your customer uses Web-based Agent? What if your customer has IT that does not easily allow install/updates of your CLI?

CLIs are working better with current harnesses in my experience, but no idea how I would ship them.

i've used pypi, which enables: `uvx <package name>` or `uv tool install <package name>` for a more permanent setup

some folks go to the trouble of publishing with `brew`

then there's the old `curl -LsSf https://example.com/install.sh | sh`
