Description
Command line interface that would allow to
- encode a single resource
- encode a set of resources
Could be something like:
pathling encode INPUT OUTPUT --resource Patient --input-type json --write-mode 'overwrite'
pathling encode-db INPUT_DIR OUTPUT-DIR --include '*.ndjson'
This could be based on the current python API and should include support for writing both parquet and delta files.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the current Python API that the proposed CLI would build on, along with how single resources and sets of resources are currently encoded. Define the command behavior for the shown encode and encode-db examples, including JSON input, resource selection, overwrite mode, and parquet or delta output; the work is done when both workflows are supported.
