first: looks very cool.
now, historically, i'd look at the language choice and ask myself, "would i want to set up a JVM" to run this kotlin app? oh, it's kotlin and python and the installation happens through pipenv?
two different ideas strike me now:
1. would it be worth throwing this at an LLM and having it write it in a different language,
2. if i was just consuming a bundled binary (e.g. go or rust), would i have such reluctance?
i think distribution is becoming increasingly important, making nonsense details like pipenv and whichever version of the JVM is present much greater friction.

You just set up three workflows that build on a windows, mac, and linux image, store the results in temporary storage, with a release workflow that grabs the binaries from storage and packs them up as a binaries + source release.
