Reasons Behind¶

The CLI exists to solve three concrete problems:

One command surface¶

Users should not need to memorize separate entrypoints for Core and Infra. pk3s gives them one executable and one help system.

The CLI can resolve published bundles from GitHub Releases and keep Core and Infra versions aligned through an explicit manifest.

For users consuming the project as a product, remote mode is the default because it validates the same published artifacts that others will download.

Local mode still exists, but only as an explicit development choice.
