Take a Walk on the Client Side
summary
Uses JBang installs scripts and Quarkus command-mode with picocli to build a native-feeling CLI (avoids native image because H2 + native is flaky), backed by Panache JPA and an index.json of 13 default pocket types. Implements create/list/edit/add/move subcommands, argument groups, smart defaults, emoji TUI, and sensible return codes; tests use QuarkusMainLauncher/QuarkusTest for one-shot runs and assert output and exit codes. Execution strategy + request context wrappers make transactions work and the demo tests pass.
