## Example

```python
rt = find_runtime()
print(rt.cli)   # → C:\Program Files\LSD Desktop\LSDCli.exe
```

Run a package headlessly through it:

```python
import subprocess
subprocess.run([str(rt.cli), "run", "project.lsd"])
```

## Notes

`LSDCli.exe` is the headless console client — the preferred entry point for tools and scripts that run
packages without a GUI. `None` when the file isn't found in the install. Use
[executable](/docs/api-runtime-executable) to fall back to the GUI launcher automatically.
