I'd like to install the Convex CLI using the Ubi backend in mise.

Can you say more, what's a Convex CLI binary? Actually compiled to a binary that bundles in Node.js or build a binary like Bun and Deno can do? Or something else, what would be necessary to support this?

A single-file executable like what bun provides.

What's your use case, why do you want to install this as a binary? This is possible but it would take significant work because parts of the convex CLI use other executables like esbuild and TypeScript and expect to be run installed by a JavaScript package manager. What does this enable for you?
