§1 The toolkit

Small CLIs, one gate each, zero dependencies

32 published packages: 29 gate CLIs behind one dispatcher, plus the shared foundation (cli, core, init). Each gate enforces a single machine-checkable question and answers on its exit code, and they all share a runtime convention, so tools built independently still feel like one product.
