  Fermyon ships no standalone CLI binary of its own. Everything is a PLUGIN to the Spin
  CLI — `spin cloud` for Fermyon Cloud and `spin aka` for Fermyon Wasm Functions / Akamai
  Functions. The Spin CLI itself is the CNCF sandbox project the plugins extend. For an
  agent this matters: the CLI, not the REST API, is the documented path to every deploy,
  and the two plugins have DIFFERENT command surfaces because they drive different
  control planes.

        command: spin aka logs --component-id <id> --deployment-version <n> --region <region>
notes:
  - >-
    There is no `spin aka` equivalent of `spin cloud sqlite` — Akamai Functions exposes a
    Key Value store and cron triggers, not a managed SQLite database. The two products'
    command surfaces are not interchangeable.
  - >-
    The plugin binaries are distributed through the Spin plugin system
    (github.com/spinframework/spin-plugins manifests), not through a language package
    registry. See packages/fermyon-packages.yml.
