alias is a command word served by 2 plugin candies — plugin-alias and plugin-alias — at different points in the command tree. Both are real invocations; charly --help prints which is which.

The charly alias … CLI — the host command alias manager, a COMMAND-class charly plugin (github.com/opencharly/sdk). charly alias add/install/list/remove/uninstall create and manage ~/.local/bin wrapper scripts that shell into a box (each wrapper runs charly shell <box> -c "<command> …"), so a box’s tools are reachable as plain host commands. COMPILED-IN, it dispatches IN-PROC via Invoke(OpRun) (kong-parse the AliasCmd tree), so the handlers own charly’s real stdio; add (image-exists guard) and install (read the baked ai.opencharly.alias label) reach the host over the generic HostBuild(“cli”) reverse channel by re-running charly box labels …. Placement-invisible (F8): the SAME provider compiles into charly or serves out-of-process.

charly --help prints the command tree, including where each alias is invoked and under which parent.
