Before submitting your bug report

Relevant environment info
I've just installed continuedev/cli on a Xorg-less machine.
When I start `cn` I see error:
import: unable to open X server `' @ error/import.c/ImportImageCommand/347.
If continue/cli is a CLI, why does it require Xorg????

Research direction
Start with the cn entry point and reproduce the startup error on a machine without Xorg, noting which command or dependency emits the ImageMagick import message. Trace that startup path to determine why an X server is accessed; done means the CLI starts without requiring Xorg, or the requirement is clearly established and documented.
