[HDX-3919] Add @hyperdx/cli package — terminal TUI, source map upload, and agent-friendly commands (#2043)
## Summary

Adds `packages/cli` (`@hyperdx/cli`) — a unified CLI for HyperDX that provides an interactive TUI for searching/tailing logs and traces, source map upload (migrated from `hyperdx-js`), and agent-friendly commands for programmatic access.

Ref: HDX-3919
Ref: HDX-3920

### CLI Commands

```
hdx tui -s <url>                    # Interactive TUI (main command)
hdx sources -s <url>                # List sources with ClickHouse schemas
hdx sources -s <url> --json         # JSON output for agents / scripts
hdx dashboards -s <url>             # List dashboards with tile summaries
hdx dashboards -s <url> --json      # JSON output for agents / scripts
hdx query --source "Logs" --sql "SELECT count() FROM default.otel_logs"
hdx upload-sourcemaps -k <key>      # Upload source maps (ported from hyperdx-js)
hdx auth login -s <url>             # Sign in (interactive or -e/-p flags)
hdx auth status                     # Show auth status
hdx auth logout                     # Clear saved session
```

### Key Features

**Interactive TUI (`hdx tui`)**
- Table view with dynamic columns derived from query results (percentage-based widths)
- Follow mode (live tail) enabled by default, auto-pauses when detail panel is open
- Vim-like keybindings: j/k navigation, G/g jump, Ctrl+D/U half-page scroll
- `/` for Lucene search, `s` to edit SELECT clause in `$EDITOR`, `t` to edit time range
- Tab to cycle between sources and saved searches
- `w` to toggle line wrap

**Detail Panel (3 tabs, full-screen with Ctrl+D/U scrolling)**
- **Overview** — Structured view: Top Level Attributes, Log/Span Attributes, Resource Attributes
- **Column Values** — Full `SELECT *` row data with `__hdx_*` aliased columns
- **Trace** — Waterfall chart (port of `DBTraceWaterfallChart` DAG builder) with correlated log events, j/k span navigation, inverse highlight, Event Details section

**Agent-friendly commands**
- `hdx sources --json` — Full source metadata with ClickHouse `CREATE TABLE` DDL, expression mappings, and correlated source IDs. Detailed `--help` describes the JSON schema for LLM consumption. Schema queries run in parallel.
- `hdx dashboards --json` — Dashboard metadata with simplified tile summaries (name, type, source, sql). Resolves source names for human-readable output.
- `hdx query --source <name> --sql <query>` — Raw SQL execution against any source's ClickHouse connection. Supports `--format` for ClickHouse output formats (JSON, JSONEachRow, CSV, etc.).

**Source map upload (`hdx upload-sourcemaps`)**
- Ported from `hyperdx-js/packages/cli` to consolidate on a single `@hyperdx/cli` package
- Authenticates via service account API key (`-k` / `HYPERDX_SERVICE_KEY` env var)
- Globs `.js` and `.js.map` files, handles Next.js route groups
- Uploads to presigned URLs in parallel with retry (3 attempts) and progress
- Modernized: native `fetch` (Node 22+), ESM-compatible, proper TypeScript types

### Tech Stack
- **Ink v6.8.0** (React 19 for terminals) + Commander.js
- **@clickhouse/client** via ProxyClickhouseClient (routes through `/clickhouse-proxy`)
- **@hyperdx/common-utils** for query generation (`renderChartConfig`, `chSqlToAliasMap`)
- **glob v13** for source map file discovery
- **tsup** for bundling (all deps bundled via `noExternal: [/.*/]`, zero runtime deps)
- **Bun 1.3.11** for standalone binary compilation
- Session stored at `~/.config/hyperdx/cli/session.json`

### CI/CD (`release.yml`)
- CLI binaries compiled for macOS ARM64, macOS x64, and Linux x64
- GitHub Release created with download instructions
- Version-change gate: skips release if `cli-v{version}` tag already exists
- `softprops/action-gh-release` pinned to full SHA (v2.6.1) for supply chain safety
- Bun pinned to `1.3.11` for reproducible builds
- npm publishing handled by changesets

### Keybindings

| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| `j/k` | Navigate rows (or spans in Trace tab) |
| `l/Enter` | Expand row detail |
| `h/Esc` | Close detail / blur search |
| `G/g` | Jump to newest/oldest |
| `Ctrl+D/U` | Scroll half-page (table, detail panels, Event Details) |
| `/` | Search (global or detail filter) |
| `Tab` | Cycle sources/searches or detail tabs |
| `s` | Edit SELECT clause in $EDITOR |
| `t` | Edit time range in $EDITOR |
| `f` | Toggle follow mode (live tail) |
| `w` | Toggle line wrap |
| `?` | Help screen |

@hyperdx/cli

Command line interface for HyperDX.

Uploading Source Maps

Upload JavaScript source maps to HyperDX for stack trace de-obfuscation.

In your build pipeline, run the CLI tool:

npx @hyperdx/cli upload-sourcemaps \
  --serviceKey "$HYPERDX_API_ACCESS_KEY" \
  --apiUrl "$HYPERDX_API_URL" \
  --path .next \
  --releaseId "$RELEASE_ID"

You can also add this as an npm script:

{
  "scripts": {
    "upload-sourcemaps": "npx @hyperdx/cli upload-sourcemaps --path=\".next\""
  }
}

Options

Flag Description Default
-k, --serviceKey <key> HyperDX service account API key
-p, --path <dir> Directory containing sourcemaps .
-u, --apiUrl <url> HyperDX API URL (required for self-hosted deployments)
-rid, --releaseId <id> Release ID to associate with the sourcemaps
-bp, --basePath <path> Base path for the uploaded sourcemaps

Optionally, set the HYPERDX_SERVICE_KEY environment variable to avoid passing the --serviceKey flag.
