Overview

This section is a behind-the-scenes reference for how individual parts of the CLI work at runtime.

Where the Infrastructure Guide covers how the backend is built and provisioned, these pages cover how the CLI reads and assembles data when a command runs:

• The request paths
• The services involved
• Which tables or APIs answer each call

Each page focuses on one command or service and leads with a sequence diagram.
