Research direction

Reproduce the documented pip command and the subsequent `python3 -m briefer` and `briefer` attempts; no source file or test is named in the issue. Inspect the Python package entry point and installation documentation, then verify that the documented install command exposes a working `briefer` command or clearly documents the supported invocation.
