  Corva ships no general-purpose API CLI — there is no `corva` binary for querying wells or
  datasets from a shell. What it ships is Dev Center app tooling: a scaffolder and a frontend
  developer helper, both distributed on npm.

  exists: false
  detail: >-
    No first-party command-line client for the Platform API or Data API exists in any registry or
    in the documentation. An operator wanting shell access uses curl or the Python SDK's API
    client. Corva's documented non-code path is instead a Power BI tutorial.
    See https://dc-docs.corva.ai/docs/API/Guides/api-power-bi-tutorial.

    note: >-
      Pre-1.0 and lightly released. Its npm description is a copy-paste of @corva/ui's ("Shared
      components/utils for Corva ui projects") rather than a description of the CLI, so its
      published surface is not documented in the registry.
