This PR refactors the cli.py file to improve overall consistency, error handling, and user experience. Key updates include:
Changes made:
Added detailed handling for missing distro dependency.
Improved Linux distribution detection with better warnings for unsupported or unknown distros.
Centralized search error handling for all package sources (AUR, Pacman, Flatpak, Snap, APT, DNF).
Enhanced package scoring algorithm for better top-match selection.
Added GitHub fallback when no packages are found.
Updated CLI output messages with clear instructions and panels for warnings/errors.
Testing performed:
Verified that running python cli.py works without crashing.
Tested on Windows (fallback to GitHub search works as expected).
Verified that missing dependencies (like distro) show proper error message and installation instructions.
Top matching packages display correctly with interactive installation flow (if supported).
Note for reviewers:
On Windows, system-specific package managers like Pacman/Flatpak are not available, so GitHub fallback is expected behavior.
All critical changes are within cli.py.
