Prefer the environment form in CI: a flag lands in shell history and job logs.

## Libraries

A library is a `.stlib` archive: blocks, their pin signatures, data types, and
any C/C++ sources they ship. Building one, installing it and choosing which
version a project compiles against are all scriptable.

```sh
openplc-cli library build <library-project> [--clean] # project -> .stlib
openplc-cli library install <file.stlib|.lib|.library|.zip>
openplc-cli library uninstall <name>[@<version>] [--all]
openplc-cli library info <name>[@<version>]
openplc-cli library list
openplc-cli library pin <project> <name>@<version>
openplc-cli library unpin <project> <name>
```

A version is named with `@`, not a flag: `--version` is global and prints the
CLI's own version.

### A ZIP installs every library it holds

`install` takes a `.zip` as well as a single file, and installs every `.stlib`,
`.lib` and `.library` inside it at any depth — a vendor drop of several
libraries, or one library built for several versions. Each goes through the
same preparer it would have on its own, so a CODESYS file in a ZIP is imported
exactly as picking it directly would. Anything else in the ZIP is ignored,
including the `__MACOSX` forks Finder adds.

One bad file does not stop the rest: the good ones install and the output names
each one that did not, so a bundle of eight with one corrupt file installs
seven.

```sh
$ openplc-cli library install vendor-libs.zip
Installed 3 libraries from vendor-libs.zip
libtest-basic 0.1.0
libtest-basic 0.2.0
node-uio 0.0.1
```

A ZIP that will not open, or holds no library file at all, fails outright —
that is the wrong file rather than a bad archive.

### Versions live side by side

Installing `0.2.0` does not replace `0.1.0`. Both stay, and each project picks
one. `list` names the newest and, once anything has more than one, adds a column
listing them all; the JSON always carries the full array.

```sh
$ openplc-cli library list
Name Version Installed Origin
libtest-basic 0.2.0 0.2.0, 0.1.0 stlib
```

`uninstall` refuses to choose for you when several are installed — name one, or
pass `--all`. Bundled libraries cannot be uninstalled; disable them per project
instead.

### Pinning

The pin lives in the project's `project.json` and decides what the compiler
resolves against, so changing it changes the generated code:

```sh
openplc-cli library pin ./my-project libtest-basic@0.1.0
openplc-cli compile ./my-project # COUNTER_FB.PV is INT

openplc-cli library pin ./my-project libtest-basic@0.2.0
openplc-cli compile ./my-project # COUNTER_FB.PV is REAL
```

`pin` refuses a version that is not installed rather than writing a reference the
compiler would quietly substitute later. It rewrites one field of `project.json`
and leaves the rest of the file alone.

Diagrams already on the canvas are **reported, not rewritten**:

```
Repinned libtest-basic 0.1.0 → 0.2.0.
warning: COUNTER_FB: the library added pin RESET (BOOL). 1 placed block in main does not draw it yet.
COUNTER_FB.PV: type INT → REAL — 1 block in main.
```

Growing a block needs the editor's own layout engine, so the CLI says what
changed and the GUI applies it the next time the project is opened. A pin type
that changed is honoured by the compiler immediately either way.

### `info`

`list` carries identity only. `info` opens the archive and prints what is in it —
which is how you answer "did this pin change between versions" without unpacking
anything:

```sh
$ openplc-cli library info libtest-basic@0.2.0
libtest-basic 0.2.0
namespace: libtest_basic
installed: 0.2.0, 0.1.0

Function blocks (1)
COUNTER_FB
in: CU: BOOL, MODE: TEST_MODE, RESET: BOOL
out: Q: BOOL, CV: INT
```

Type the bridge fixture without a double assertion.

The as unknown as expression bypasses the LibraryCompileBridge contract and violates the repository’s TypeScript convention. Declare the fixture as Parameters<CompilerModule['compileLibrary']>[2] and implement its required parameters and Promise return types directly. This keeps contract changes visible to the test.

In `@src/backend/editor/compiler/compiler-module.spec.ts` at line 1086, Update the
bridge fixture used with CompilerModule.compileLibrary to declare it directly as
Parameters<CompilerModule['compileLibrary']>[2], remove the as unknown as double
assertion, and implement the required parameter types and Promise return type so
the LibraryCompileBridge contract remains enforced.
