Depends on the CLI. The AWS SAM CLI or create-react-app or poetry for python, no. But certainly I've run into some where that's the case.

Depends on the CLI. Certainly many do not have this problem.

Yeah, and that's nice, but IME this isn't a problem with code from a good-fit-for-purpose CLI; this isn't a place where I'm burning energy with, e.g., SAM or poetry, or even CRA (though in the last case I can imagine circumstances where it would be an issue, but it hasn't been for me in practice.)
