note: >-
  ControlUp ships no cross-platform command-line binary. Its first-party command surface is a set of PowerShell
  cmdlets for the VDI & DaaS product — the "VDI PowerShell Automation Module" — which talk to the ControlUp Monitor
  cluster and the on-premises/hybrid environment rather than to the public REST API at api.controlup.com. They are
  therefore a genuinely separate control plane from the REST + MCP surfaces, not a wrapper around them.
