## Root Cause

pip installed the console script into a user-level bin directory that is not included in the shell's PATH.

## Workarounds

1. **** (95% success)
   ```
   echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
   ```
2. **** (90% success)
   ```
   python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate && pip install somecli
   ```

## Dead Ends

- **** — Installs to system paths and can break the user environment; also creates root-owned files. (80% fail)
- **** — Path configuration is unrelated to reinstall behavior. (95% fail)
- **** — Only works if the package exposes a `__main__` module; many CLI packages do not. (60% fail)
