  crowd.dev ships a first-party CLI, but it is a SELF-HOSTING AND LOCAL-DEVELOPMENT tool, not an
  API client. `./scripts/cli` is a 1,282-line bash script in the Apache-2.0 monorepo that stands up
  the whole platform under Docker Compose, drives migrations, builds and pushes service images, and
  runs the staging/production deploy workflows. It issues no calls against the CDP Public API and
  offers no auth/token/resource commands. Anyone integrating with cm.lfx.dev gets no CLI - only the
  raw HTTPS surface. Recorded so the distinction is explicit rather than inferred from its presence.
