## Identity

Published `sapporta` binary; prefer project-local `pnpm exec sapporta`.

## Contract

- `--api-url <url>` overrides `SAPPORTA_API_URL`; default is `http://localhost:3000`.
- `--api-token <token>` overrides `SAPPORTA_API_TOKEN` for bearer authentication.
- `--output table|json` overrides `SAPPORTA_OUTPUT_FORMAT`.
- `--version` and `--help` are local; API-backed commands require a reachable running app.

## Minimal lookup

```bash
pnpm exec sapporta --help
```
