Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing otari console command and Python package setup, then read Snapcraft's configuration requirements for a snapcraft.yaml. Decide how to package the command and dependencies, choose the proposed strict confinement with network access, and use either GitHub Actions or snapcraft upload for publishing. Done means the snap is registered, installable, and provides the otari command end to end.

Description

Note: this issue was drafted by Claude via back-and-forth with @njbrake. The reasoning and decisions are his; the prose is Claude's.

Distribute otari-cli as a Snap so Linux users can install it without setting up a Python toolchain.

Context: otari-cli 0.1.0 is now on PyPI (see #4). A Snap gives Linux users a self-contained install.

Tasks:

  • Add a snapcraft.yaml that bundles the otari console command and its Python dependencies.
  • Decide on confinement. Strict with the network plug is likely sufficient, since the CLI only makes outbound HTTPS calls to the gateway.
  • Wire a build and publish path (GitHub Actions to Snapcraft, or a manual snapcraft upload to the Snap Store).
  • Register the snap name on the Snap Store.
  • Verify snap install provides the otari command end to end.

Note: toto mentioned sending a PR for the snap packaging; this issue tracks that work.
