Summary
Ports the applicable behavior from livekit/agents#6656.
dev --helpoutput.devmode starts, while suppressing the warning when--cli-addrshows the process was launched bylk agent dev.console --connect-addrpath unchanged because it is the path driven bylk agent console, not the legacy local console deprecated by the source PR.@livekit/agentsonly.Source diff coverage
Authoritative source PR #6656 coverage
livekit-agents/livekit/agents/cli/_legacy.pydevhelp and startup warning are adapted inagents/src/cli.tsusing Commander and the existing Pino logger. The warning is suppressed forlk agent devlaunches identified by--cli-addr. The source file's legacy Rich local-console changes are not applicable because agents-js has no equivalent legacy console; itsconsole --connect-addrcommand is the TCP path PR #6656 explicitly leaves untouched.The authoritative source diff adds or modifies no tests, so there are no source tests to port. No source files or applicable behavior were silently omitted.

Original PR description
Console and dev modes are being removed from the Python framework. This adds the deprecation notices first, pointing users at
lk agent console/lk agent devand the CLI setup docs.Surfaces, all in the legacy rich CLI:
Recordingnotice), so it shows in both audio and text mode:devlogs a deprecation warning at startup (alongside the existing auto-reload warning).console --helpanddev --helpboth readDeprecated: use lk agent <cmd> instead.run_appalready emits a genericDeprecationWarningfor the whole legacy Python CLI, so no second command-specificwarnings.warnhere — this fills the gap in per-command migration guidance.The TCP console in
cli.pyis untouched; that is the pathlk agent consoledrives, not the one being deprecated.
