    POSIX-style argument parser. Long options, short bundles, inline values, positional args — one static call.

Why this exists
---------------

[](#why-this-exists)

Real CLI tools in PHP usually mean either pulling in `symfony/console` (and the transitive dependencies that come with it) or hand-rolling argv parsing that breaks the first time someone writes `-vvv` or `--port=8080`. The toolkit's `CLI` class is one static method, no dependencies, and handles the POSIX shapes you actually see.

Parse a single flag
-------------------

[](#parse-a-single-flag)

The smallest useful invocation: one boolean flag, one positional. Each option is a four-tuple of `[ short, has_value, default, description ]`.
