command_surface_note: >-
  The published CLI page documents installation, credential configuration, profiles, upgrade, uninstall and
  troubleshooting. It does not publish a full command reference, so the resource-level command groups are not
  enumerated here rather than guessed from the API's resource list.
upgrade:
  note: The CLI notifies the user when a new version is available; upgrading means re-running the install procedure.
versioning:
  version: null
  note: >-
    No version number is published on the download page and the download URLs are unpinned, so a consumer cannot
    determine which build they are installing.
