Subject: feat(install): add signal-cli to the standard install
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It's the headless JSON-RPC backend for the in-Emacs Signal client, hand-installed until now. Device linking stays manual (interactive QR scan) — the install only guarantees the binary.
