Research direction
Examine the existing Swift codebase for any hidden CLI support or hooks. Look at the 9 comments to see if there are suggestions or workarounds. Determine if the feature requires integrating a command line parser (e.g., Swift ArgumentParser) or if there's an existing AppleScript/automation interface.
