Etherpad CLI Client

The `etherpad-cli-client` package provides a Node.js and CLI interface for real-time interaction with Etherpad content. It allows developers to connect to an Etherpad instance, stream pad text, listen for real-time messages, and programmatically append or prefix content. The current stable version is 3.0.5. A critical design decision is that this client *requires* the connected Etherpad server to be running in `loadTest` mode, which fundamentally alters Etherpad's behavior and is not suitable for typical production environments. This limits its use to specific testing, automation, or specialized integration scenarios rather than full-fledged editor functionality. The project appears actively maintained, with continuous integration badges indicating ongoing development. Its core differentiator is its programmatic access to real-time Etherpad content, albeit under the `loadTest` mode constraint.
