  Lastline did not ship a single unified `lastline` CLI binary. It published two first-party
  command-line submission tools plus an interactive API shell, all documented in the Analyst API
  documentation and still downloadable (HTTP 200 verified 2026-07-19). The command surface below is
  transcribed from the published usage; only documented options are listed.

      `llapi_client` package directory, or placed in the current working directory.
