  First-party command line interface for the Chariot platform. Installed as part of the Chariot Python
  SDK (the chariot-client wheel installs both a Python package and a CLI tool named `chariot`), and
  pre-installed in Chariot Workspaces. Used to configure client credentials and, via the `awm`
  sub-command, to build, configure, stage, run and chat with agentic workflows.

  install: https://production.chariot.striveworks.us/docs/sdk/sdk
  agentic_workflows: https://production.chariot.striveworks.us/docs/user_guide/agentic-workflows/example-chariot-cli
install:
  - method: pip (from your own Chariot instance)
    command: pip install https://<chariot_host>/docs/static/chariot_client-0.26.2-py3-none-any.whl
    note: >-
      The wheel is served by the Chariot deployment itself; the version in the path tracks the
      platform release (0.26.2 at time of capture).
  - method: pip (pre-release from the Armory)
    command: '%pip install --user --upgrade --pre chariot-client'
    note: >-
      Chariot ships with the Armory, a read-only registry for Python and NPM/CommonJS packages.
      Requires a Chariot Workspace configured to pull from an Armory that shipped a pre-release SDK.
      Use %pip, not !pip, inside Jupyter.

    command: null
    note: The SDK and CLI are automatically installed in Chariot workspaces.

      - 'Stage an agent version to Production before a workflow can reference it.'
      - 'Configurations → Workflow: create a workflow whose agent_graph.agent_refs point at a staged agent by ref (::agent::<agent-key>::production).'
      - 'Stage the workflow version to Production.'
      - 'List workflows → Chat → New session to start a chat session with the workflow.'
    chat_features:
      - Create and switch between sessions.
      - View session chat history.
      - 'Slash commands, e.g. /exit to leave the chat and return to the Workflows menu.'

  the feature enabled.
