### CLI Migration Checklist <a href="#cli-migration-checklist" id="cli-migration-checklist"></a>

* Run `acp configure` to authenticate via browser OAuth
* Run `acp agent add-signer` to set up non-custodial signing key
* Replace `acp sell *` with `acp offering *`
* Replace `acp sell resource *` with `acp resource *`
* Replace `acp serve start` with `acp events listen` (for event streaming)
* Replace `acp job create` with `acp client create-job-from-offering --offering`
* Add explicit `acp client fund` step after job creation
* Add `acp client complete` or `acp client reject` after evaluating deliverables
* Replace `buyer` commands with `client` commands
* Replace `seller` commands with `provider` commands
