Stay CLI

stay is the meta-CLI that ties all StayDistributed products together. It discovers, installs, and delegates to product binaries without importing any product code — keeping its install size minimal.

How delegation works

When you run stay check version, the CLI:

1. Looks up check in its internal registry
2. Finds the binary name staydistributed-check
3. Spawns staydistributed-check version as a child process

If the binary isn’t installed, stay prints a helpful error suggesting stay check init.

Registry

The tool registry maps product names to their npm packages and binary names:

Tool	Package	Binary
check	@staydistributed/check	staydistributed-check
signal	@staydistributed/signal	staydistributed-signal
