  The WEKA cluster ships a first-party command-line client, `weka`, that mirrors
  the REST API surface (every REST operation has an equivalent CLI command). A
  separate `wekactl` cloud CLI manages cloud-hosted clusters and is distributed
  via Homebrew/Scoop/RPM/DEB (see packages/weka-packages.yml).
