caurad — uvx / pip wrapper

Run the Caura broker from the Python ecosystem:

uvx caurad --help                        # package-name shorthand, kept working
uvx --from caurad caura --help           # run the canonical command directly
pipx install caurad && caura --help      # or install it

Interaction with the native installer

The PyPI wrapper and the native installer both provide a caura executable. If both are installed, your shell runs whichever appears first on PATH, and the two installations can be different versions. Use command -v caura to see which executable wins, type -a caura to list every match, and caura version to identify the selected version.

How it works

This package is a thin dispatcher — the broker itself is a single Go binary.

On first entry-point invocation, wrappers/uvx/caurad/cli.py detects your platform, downloads the matching signed archive from the public release mirror, verifies its SHA-256 against the published checksums.txt, caches the binary under ~/.cache/caura/<version>/, and os.execvs it with your arguments. The archive name is discovered from its platform suffix in checksums.txt, so release prefixes are not part of the wrapper contract. Both the caura and caurad package entries invoke the native payload as caura.

The install itself does NOT prefetch the binary — the download happens on first invocation. That keeps the package tiny and works under pipx / sandboxed installs where postinstall hooks don't fire.

The binary is downloaded from the public release mirror (https://caura.ai/caura/<tag>/) — the same source the wrappers/curl/install.sh installer uses, not this repo's GitHub Releases (which are private). SHA-256 verification is the integrity gate.

Environment overrides

  • CAURA_BINARY_BASE — base URL of a release mirror (default https://caura.ai/caura). Point it at an on-prem gateway's <origin>/caura to install from a private deployment.
  • CAURA_VERSION — pin a specific release tag instead of the installed package's version.

The published package version is set from the release tag by the PyPI-publish workflow; the 0.0.0 in pyproject.toml is a placeholder for local checkouts.
