CLI Backend Protocol for PraisonAI Agents.

Provides protocol-driven core for integrating external CLI tools as agent backends.

This module follows AGENTS.md protocol-driven design:

* Core SDK contains only protocols and dataclasses
* Heavy implementations live in wrapper (praisonai package)
* Zero optional dependencies at import time

## Import

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
from praisonaiagents import cli_backend
```
