Greptile SummaryThis PR adds a changelog entry announcing native Homebrew CLI binaries and restructures the CLI installation docs to promote Homebrew as the recommended install path on macOS and Linux, while preserving npm and script-based install options. The changes are accurate and well-organized; the only minor rough edge is that the "Install with script" section labels its macOS and Linux tabs as Confidence Score: 5/5Safe to merge — all findings are cosmetic P2 label inconsistencies that don't affect functionality. Both files contain only documentation/content changes. The commands are correct (brew install, brew upgrade, brew uninstall), the changelog entry is accurate, and the restructuring is coherent. The only issues are minor tab label inconsistencies, which are P2 suggestions and do not block merge. No files require special attention. Important Files Changed

| The CLI also ships with installation scripts for platforms where Homebrew is not available. | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The macOS and Linux tabs in the "Install with script" section are labeled "macOS" and "Linux" (lines 51, 72), but the analogous tabs in the Update and Uninstall sections are labeled "macOS (script)" and "Linux (script)" (lines 95, 107, 226, 247). A user skimming only the install section won't see the (script) qualifier that distinguishes them from the Homebrew tabs above. Making the labels consistent would reduce ambiguity.
