Bundle platform-specific Claude Code CLI binaries directly in the Python package, eliminating the need for separate CLI installation. Changes: - Created download_cli.py script to fetch CLI during build - Created build_wheel.py script for building platform-specific wheels - Modified subprocess_cli.py to check for bundled CLI first - Updated GitHub workflow to build separate wheels per platform - Updated pyproject.toml to include _bundled directory in wheels - Updated README to reflect bundled CLI (removed Node.js requirement) The SDK now automatically uses the bundled CLI, falling back to system installation if not found. Users can still override with cli_path option. Platform-specific wheels are built for macOS, Linux, and Windows, and pip automatically selects the correct one during installation. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
