Description
Extracted from PostHog/posthog#43012.
Problem
The plugin registers no extension, so there's no way to configure it. The CLI path is hardcoded to posthog-cli, and the only skip logic is !isMinifyEnabled; per-variant control is still a // TODO in the plugin.
Scope
- Add a
posthog { }extension for forcing the CLI binary path, enabling or disabling per build type and per variant, an autoUpload toggle, allow-failure, and debug mode.

Research direction
Start at the Android Gradle plugin implementation where the hardcoded CLI path and !isMinifyEnabled logic are defined, then trace how build types and variants are handled. Completion means a posthog { } extension exposes the listed path, variant, upload, failure, and debug controls, with behavior covering the requested configuration combinations.
