Research direction

Start by reading the linked go-task pull request and comparing the distribution approaches named in the issue: Docker, packaged binaries, and a custom GitHub Action. Define a supported usage mode that does not require a Python environment and document how users install and invoke it. Done means the chosen mode works for non-Python users.

Description

needs-investigation

For context, see: https://github.com/go-task/task/pull/1476#issue-2088860506

For potential users who are not Python users, it's harder to use the CLI because they need to learn how to setup an environment (pipx, etc). brew solves some of this for us (yay), but it's not enough for all cases.

Think about docker as a way of wrapping it, pyinstaller/etc, other app-zipping solutions, etc.
Also consider a custom GitHub Action as a usage mode.
