What it does
Section titled “What it does”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.
