  serves the REST API.

  - method: bundled
    detail: Ships inside the Unravel installation at <Unravel installation directory>/unravel/manager.
commands:
  - group: service
    commands:
      - name: manager start
        description: Start Unravel services/daemons.
      - name: manager stop
        description: Stop Unravel services/daemons.
  - group: config
    commands:
      - name: manager config properties set <property> <value>
        description: >-
          Set platform properties, e.g. com.unraveldata.api.access.tokens.store
          </path/to/JSON file> to persist API authorization tokens across
          restarts.
      - name: manager config apply
        description: Apply pending configuration changes.
key_flows:
  - name: Persist API authorization tokens
    steps:
      - Stop Unravel (manager stop).
      - Set com.unraveldata.api.access.tokens.store to a JSON file path readable only by the Unravel user.
      - Apply changes (manager config apply) and start Unravel (manager start).
      - Create API tokens from the Unravel UI; they now survive server restarts.
notes: >-
  Documentation also covers an Interactive Precheck utility for installation
  and healthcheck tooling; no standalone consumer CLI is published to package
  registries.
