The command line

Everything that matters in NightScribe can be done without opening the window, with python -m nightscribe <command> (or nightscribe <command> if you installed the package). Useful for scripts, cron jobs and hurried nights.

Command	What it does
`gui`	Starts the desktop application
`tonight`	Tonight's best targets, with score and reasons
`explore <object>`	The explained object card (orbit, physics, visibility)
`post <object>`	The ES/EN drafts and the tweet
`solar`	The Sun's state (spots, flares, wind)
`blink <object> <fits>`	Blink your FITS against the PanSTARRS reference (supernovae)
`history`	Your observing history
`sequence <object>`	Proposed photometric sequence and comparison chart
`inject`	Injection/recovery: measures how deep your pipeline truly reaches
`project …`	Project management: `list`, `create`, `show`, `advance`, `close`, `reopen`, `files`

Examples:

python -m nightscribe tonight            # tonight's plan in the terminal
python -m nightscribe explore 2021EQ3    # a NEO's card
python -m nightscribe project list       # your active projects
python -m nightscribe project show "T CrB"

Why does inject deserve its own command? Because "my telescope reaches magnitude 20" is a sentence to be measured, not believed. inject seeds sources of known brightness into your own frames and checks which ones the pipeline recovers: the result is your real limit, with your sky, your camera and your reduction. It is the honest number you should put in the limiting magnitude in Settings.

The GUI and the CLI share database, cache and settings: whatever you do in one is visible to the other.
