Check CLI

The Check Command-Line Interface is a Python-based CLI installed via the uv package manager that exposes 270 functions across 18 resource groups of the Check Payroll API. It is designed for shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and ad-hoc data lookups, returning JSON output that composes cleanly with Unix tools such as jq.
