    I don't understand why this is written in Typescript. This is a great example of how agents can write code (I'm sure they wrote `cf`), yet having fundamental computer science knowledge is still critical. Do not force your users to manage the dependencies of your cli. Do write your cli in a compiled language. Understand the reason for those decisions and tell your agents to use the correct architecture.

      `npm...` and then instant tab close. The total lack of self-awareness regarding how much they're asking us to infect our toolchain is hilarious. I mean, consider that agents can and should be containerized.... Like, that's what competent engineers- the target audience- are doing. It's just so completely tone-deaf.
