  First-party Tower packages. The single `tower` package on PyPI carries the
  CLI, the MCP server, and the Python SDK/runtime (Iceberg tables, LLM helpers,
  orchestration); verified first-party via pyproject.toml in tower/tower-cli
  (authors: Tower Computing Inc., brad@tower.dev). Prebuilt binaries for Linux,
  macOS, and Windows plus a shell installer and a Homebrew tap ship on every
  GitHub release. Note: the `tower` crate on crates.io and the `tower` npm
  package are unrelated third-party projects — do not confuse them with this
  provider.
