caurad — npx / npm wrapper

Install and run the Caura broker from the Node ecosystem:

npx caurad --help        # run without a global install
npm install -g caurad    # or install the `caura` command globally

How it works

This package is a thin dispatcher — the broker itself is a single Go binary.

• On install (postinstall, scripts/install.js) it detects your platform, downloads the matching release archive from the public release mirror, verifies its SHA-256 against the published checksums.txt, and copies the canonical root payload into bin/. The archive name is discovered from its platform suffix in checksums.txt, so release prefixes are not part of the wrapper contract.
• bin/caura.js uses the shared launcher to execute that binary with forwarded arguments and a canonical invocation name.

The binary is downloaded from the public release mirror (https://caura.ai/caura/<tag>/) — the same source the native installer uses, not this repository's private GitHub Releases. SHA-256 verification is the integrity gate.

Environment overrides

• CAURA_BINARY_BASE — base URL of a release mirror (default https://caura.ai/caura). Point it at an on-prem gateway's <origin>/caura to install from a private deployment.
• CAURA_VERSION — pin a specific release tag instead of the installed package's version.

The published package version is set from the release tag by the canonical npm workflow; the 0.0.0 in package.json is a local-checkout placeholder.
