Good idea — thanks!
Right now qlog is a Python CLI, so the cleanest “npm” story is probably a small wrapper package that installs qlog (pipx/uv/pip) and shells out to it, so Node projects can do `npx qlog ...` / `import { search } from 'qlog'` without reimplementing the indexer.
A native JS/TS port is possible, but I wanted to keep v0.x focused on correctness + format parsing + index compatibility first.
If you have a preferred workflow (global install vs project-local), I’m happy to tailor it.
