note: 'A first-party, free CLI — but scope it correctly: it is a LOCAL dbt tooling utility, not a client for the
  Metaplane REST API. It reads dbt run artifacts off disk and renders them; nothing in the documented command surface
  authenticates to dev.api.metaplane.dev or calls a /v1 operation. The repository''s last push was 2025-02-14 and
  no GitHub release has ever been published.'
