The repo ships one binary, consul, that serves three runtime roles:

Role	How it's invoked	Where the code lives
Operator CLI	consul <subcommand> ...	command/
Agent (client)	consul agent ...	agent/
Server	consul agent -server ...	agent/consul/

The agent and server share most code; "server" is just the agent with a few extra goroutines (Raft, leader loops, RPC server).

This section covers the CLI as a deployable unit. The agent and server runtimes are documented as systems because they are deeply layered and don't fit a single page:

• Agent runtime — local services, checks, HTTP/DNS, proxy config
• Server and Raft — consensus, FSM, state store, RPC endpoints

Sub-pages

• CLI — every operator command, where it lives, and how it's wired
