- **CLI interface** (`tddai_cli.py`) for seamless command-line operations

### MarkiTect CLI (Command-Line Interface) ✅ **Production Ready**
- **Complete CLI implementation** with Click framework integration
- **Core commands**: `ingest`, `status`, `list`, `get`, `modify` - all fully functional
- **Database query commands**: `query`, `query-files`, `query-sections` for powerful data access
