summary: >-
  First-party command-line interface for Tecton, shipped inside the `tecton` Python SDK
  package. It is the primary "feature-as-code" workflow tool: authenticate, plan/apply a
  feature repository against a workspace, manage workspaces and access, and inspect
  materialization. Installing the SDK (`pip install tecton`) puts the `tecton` binary on PATH.
