The interaction service is a new API that people writing integrations for Aspire can use to prompt the user for input in the dashboard or the CLI during publish/deploy.

When reading the code for the Aspire.Hosting.IInteractionService and its corresponding implementation, I'm not seeing where this would ever allow for interacting with the CLI. This seems to be for the dashboard only. What am I missing?

The CLI backchannel subscribes to the interaction service and notifications to send data are pushed as publisher updates.
