**docs: restructure CLI usage details and update scripts for clarity**

- **CLI Documentation Updates**:
  - Updated `README.md` to reflect the separation of CLI functionality into a new package: `@soulcraft/brainy-cli`.
  - Replaced inline CLI imports with instructions for installing and using `@soulcraft/brainy-cli`.
  - Clarified notes on keeping the main package lightweight by decoupling CLI functionality.

- **Script and Command Adjustments**:
  - Modified build instructions in `README.demo.md` to use `npm run build && npm run build:browser`.
  - Updated demo scripts in `package.json` to point to `/demo/index.html` instead of `/index.html`.
  - Revised style-check script in `CONTRIBUTING.md` to use `npm run check:style`.

- **Issues and Contribution Guidelines**:
  - Improved issue reporting section in `DEVELOPERS.md` with clearer guidelines and examples for bug and feature requests.

**Purpose**: These changes enhance documentation accuracy, streamline developer guidance, and ensure commands/scripts are up-to-date with current usage patterns.

If you see the error "Could not load Brainy library. Please ensure the project is built and served over HTTP", check the
following:
1. Make sure you've built the project with `npm run build:all`
1. Make sure you've built the project with `npm run build && npm run build:browser`
2. Ensure you're accessing the demo through HTTP (not by opening the file directly)

### Using the CLI in Your Code
If you need to use the CLI functionality in your code, you can import it explicitly:
The CLI functionality is available as a separate package `@soulcraft/brainy-cli`. If you need CLI functionality in your application, install the CLI package:
```typescript
// Import the CLI functionality
import '@soulcraft/brainy/cli'
// Now you can use the CLI programmatically
// ...
```bash
npm install @soulcraft/brainy-cli
```
This will only build and load the CLI when you explicitly import it, keeping your bundle size small when you don't need
the CLI.
Then you can use the CLI commands programmatically or through the command line interface.
