TechScript — Python Installer

What This Package Does

This is a lightweight bootstrapper only — it contains no compiler binaries.

When you run techscript install, it:

1. Detects your OS and CPU architecture
2. Fetches the correct native binary from GitHub Releases
3. Installs it into your PATH
4. Verifies the installation by running tsc version

The actual TechScript compiler remains distributed via GitHub Releases.
This PyPI package is under 200 KB and contains only Python code.
