  First-party open-source (MIT) CLI for Tracebit Community Edition. Deploys and
  maintains security canaries (fake credentials/assets) across devices and
  accounts, and runs a background service that keeps deployed canary
  credentials up to date. Current release 1.1.2 (2025-12-10); installers for
  Windows, macOS, and Linux are distributed via GitHub Releases (12 assets per
  release).
