COMMAND LINE
ContextMint CLI
Available today: contextmint serve starts the FastAPI backend. Most operators use ContextMint Engine (tray app) for lifecycle instead of raw CLI. Extended automation commands are on the roadmap.
Shipped in v1.0
# Start API server (default port 8000)

- Engine supervisor wraps the same entry for managed installs
- Lifecycle (start/stop Ollama, updates) → python -m engine.supervisor.main or
