#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
Review a single agent session for friction points using claude CLI.

Calls ``claude -p --model haiku`` to detect friction in a session transcript.
No API key needed — uses the user's existing claude credentials.

No external dependencies (calls claude CLI via subprocess).

Usage:
    uv run python3 review_friction.py --transcript <path> --output <path> \
      [--friction-prompt <path>] [--model haiku]
